Delivery drivers who have a 'bailiff' knock - they sound as if they're battering the fecking door down!
Anyone who minimises being a woman.
Peri/menopause symptoms.
The mothers who think their bully DD's can do no bloody wrong and scream blue murder if anyone suggests otherwise.
passive aggressive meme's on FB - 'if anyone fucks with my DD blah blah'...see above re; mothers of bullies.
My DH who can't be arsed refuses to reverse into our drive (it's so much easier to drive off the driveway when arseholes park opposite it!)
people who cross the road without sodding well looking!
Knobhead, entitled drivers.

Migraines

I agree. Holland n Barrett changed their magnesium formula. Not been the same since!

People who are old enough to know better wiggling about on Instagram.

And, in contrast, 23 year old men, who have never been responsible for anyone but themselves, and maybe a hamster, telling me how I should be organising my morning routine.

ohyouknowwhatshername · 27/01/2023 18:33

People being rude about only children
Terrible manager at work
Heartless and bullying colleagues
Guilt

DuncanBiscuits · 27/01/2023 18:47

Those stupid Facebook reels where people do a stupid pointy-finger dance, pointing at stupid unfunny captions with knowing smile.

Makes me cringe my head inside out.

SouthCountryGirl · 27/01/2023 19:37

Chin hair

Delivery drivers who have never heard of a doorbell and knock instead

Seconded.

It’s worse when they’re jiggling about with a baby or toddler on their hip.

Cuppasoupmonster · 27/01/2023 20:03

Oh and the ones like ‘when someone tells me X or Y…’ and they film their face close up going from a smile to confused/angry/eye roll.

shadypines · 27/01/2023 22:18

It seems I'm missing a whole other world by not partaking in FB or Insta...thank Christ! Even reading about it here I can feel my brain cells dying.

PutItInTheFuckingBasket · 27/01/2023 22:47

My mum's unwillingness to process her grief or take antidepressants but "doesn't want to be a burden" while calling multiple times a day

Toddler illness

PGP

My job

My husband's inability to put his dirty washing in the fucking basket

Hairy dog who constantly needs groomed
Goalposts continually being moved - mortgage & energy
Feel too old for all this

Chia seeds
Exploitative television
Shower heads with low water pressure

AFrivolousDigression · 28/01/2023 10:15

Domino pizza leaflets that keep clogging up my post box

paper cut on my little finger

Boring actors appearing on Radio 4 and interviewers crooning over them
Having to sort my recycling waste in my tiny kitchen involving hanging two different coloured bags on a small towel rail, one general black bag in the bin, a food waste bag in a grey container and a yellow hazardous waste bag. Now there are 'recycling police' at the depot who expect me to empty out my black bag to ensure it is 'correct'. And nobody has issued any recent guidance about what goes in what bag.

My whole town consisting of nail bars, hairdressers, pound shops, and parasitic estate agents

ToTheMax0 · 28/01/2023 12:17

People that ask you to call them for a long chat. I don't do phones.

InBerlin · 28/01/2023 12:19

People thinking any animal slaughter is "ethical/humane"

You wouldn't send your dog/cat to a slaughter house would you?

Squid3 · 28/01/2023 12:41

Cancer.

mamabear715 · 28/01/2023 18:20

Oh,@ToTheMax0 I absolutely agree.. what's the longest you've had to put up with? Mine was four.and.a.half.hours. The kids had to ring my landline so I could get off.. I'd kept trying but the caller never paused for breath..

ToTheMax0 · 28/01/2023 18:29

It's a friend who has moved away. I don't want to insult her but I just don't do the whole phone call thing. Would rather text and then wait until we can meet in person but she is very insistent....

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/01/2023 18:46

LBC presenter gives the text number 84850 as 8485 *Oh^

"Oh" is a letter not a number . Zero is a number

Normally I don;t give a stuff but he's such a pendant and very quick to chastice and belittle any callers or texters who he thinks are wrong.

And he draws it out "Ohhhh" like a Carry On film

HeyBearILoveYou · 28/01/2023 19:03

Fitted sheets that don't fit fucking mattresses!

Catsolitude · 28/01/2023 19:46

Fckers who abused the Covid loan scheme or conned us out of billions over PPE
Nicola Sturgeon
People who hang bags of dog poo from trees

Woundedknee607 · 28/01/2023 20:43

I’m sorry this is so predictable. But … politicians …

… obviously there are some good ones but how did we get to the point where personal ambition, greed and corruption have become more important than social care, the nhs, education, the emergency services, manufacturing, and the armed forces?

What happened? Were we all asleep?

Woundedknee607 · 28/01/2023 20:45

Should have added public transport to that list. (Don’t want it to fuck off, want it to improve.)

@Quiltedandwilted88 ·

Wait! Do you know how hard it is to organise a hamster???? (joke!) Who is telling you how to do things? A work colleague?
