What three things/people would you send?

For me:

  1. Those washing up sponges with the hollow handle you put dish soap into. They’re shit.
  2. Kirsty Allsopp.
  3. Driveways with stones on them which end up all over the pavement.

My ex

People who expect you to move out of their way on the pavement when you walk towards each other.

The slimy green bags that line the waste food caddy.

Anyone who calls a short cut a 'back double'

Companies that leaving you holding for ages but don't count down your place in the queue

DidyouNO · 15/03/2023 13:56

Companies still using covid as an excuse for slow, terrible service/long waits/inferior product

Dogs in eating places. My foster child is highly complex and blind. Highly allergic/life threatening.

Olives 🤢

Extendable dog leads. For some reason the users think their dogs are safe being on a lead next to roads despite the leads being 10 feet long and there's nothing to stop the dogs running in front of vehicles. Idiots. Seriously, no common sense 🙄

Social media for under 18s. On the whole it's too toxic for them

Windy weather. I hate it. Messes my hair up, blows hair into my mouth if I'm eating outdoors, causes destruction. Oh, and the wind chill factor. I just wish it would fuck off

People who haven't read 1984, and therefore don't know that it's for your ONE GREATEST FEAR, not a list of pet peeves.

:p

Mxflamingnoravera · 15/03/2023 17:17

Bananas
The Monarchy
Patriarchy

I know, bananas seems insignificant beside the other two, but I really hate all things banana related.

Anyone in customer relations who uses the phrase "thank you for reaching out to us"

The front of articulated lorries when they are driving along without a trailer on the back. Really creep me out.

Marmite - just to resolve the love it/hate it debate. Hate it.

Why? Are you a worm?

CorsicaDreaming · 15/03/2023 20:08

Mother Nature turning off the oestrogen - after you've spent years devoted to raising the next generation of little buggers for her

Work colleagues who apply for loads of roles and extra responsibility - and then spend their time moaning / bragging about how hard they work and how they wish they had more spare time

Putin

People who use speakerphone in public.

People who listen to videos or music in public instead of using headphones.

Meaningless and out of date signs eg food being served now (when pub is closed) or for an event 6 months ago!

Defrosting the car

Clothes that look like just what you're looking for until you see the cold shoulder, cut out back or split to the fanny.

People having general chit chat or rambling on and on in meetings, especially at the end of the day. Do they not want to go home?

Yes!! to the clothes.

These items hide 'things' don't they?
Like a horrible embellishment, a shit slogan or awful gold wrist buttons 😂

I can't remember the last time I flew in a plane that had seats that could recline.
