I hate gnomes, what's your pet hate?

[FancyFran]

Just a thread for fun. I have been reading the funeral ones in classics and it reminded me of my late mother. We bought a beautiful cottage in a posh village and I returned home from a holiday to find gnomes in my flower beds.
I got my own back by burying her in a sparkly Bet Lynch top (I had asked her what she wanted to wear at her demise she said 'suprise me, but I'll be dead'.My mother enjoyed black humour as her best friend was a Vicar and she had been a police officer. I still hate gnomes and spotted them in our new village this week. AIBU?

Grey over used on houses. That flat looking grey uses in fences, windows and anywhere else they can slap it on. It looks especially ghastly on an older style home where they think they have modernised it. Grim.

It’s evil.

"and a moon in virgo😉"

Oh my god. Yes, add this weird shit to my list.

Do you sell wax melts too?

Dogs in slings (the mind boggles)
ABBA
The Bee gees
Crocs for day to day out and about life
Long pointy fake nails
Parents who know that their children are trouble

Nothing wrong with dyed hair but I hate that burgundy colour that Sharon Osborn has.

It sucks the life out of women's faces and makes them look like Bingo Lil.

Plastic lawns

Plastic outdoor plants, especially when they go that weird turquoise colour after a few weeks

Topless men when the weather gets aove 20 degrees

Tattoos

False nails

Dyed hair on older women

Dogs off lead in public places

I'm indifferent to gnomes, I don't have any myself but wish them no harm.

Guess you have never been
to the Gnome Reserve in Devon

Thousands of them
and you get to dress as one and wear a gnome hat to visit

Shirtless men walking down the street. It's hot but you can still have some decency and out a shirt on.

Can you tell that I'm an old git, yet?

@jellyminelli i don't sell wax melts but I might have to rethink my range of 'spiritual' candles.

@VinoVeritas1 back off from the sackcloth dresses ! 🤣 they are my saving Grace

Peace ✌🏼

Some of it looks like an undercoat, and so unfinished.

I can’t agree with the Crocs hate though, I converted last summer and my feet have never been so happy.

Evening dresses with just one sleeve.

Loud music in cars when they pull up next to me at lights.

Always some hideous tune.

I would love a remote control gadget that I could point at their vehicle and change the music to the 'Floral Dance' by Terry Wogan or similar, and watch them scramble trying to turn it down or off.

People that don't pick up their feet.

I have to say something every single time if I walk behind some sloppy person who isn't picking up their feet.

Obviously not disabled, just a lazy habit of walking that way.

Men who wear sunglasses on their head

But if your DH has a moon in Leo it means they are very romantic. Always ask a men (subtly) 1. Do you work at Canary Wharf? 2. How many Aston Martin's do you own? And 3.What's your moon and Venus in?

But be subtle.

Crap hand dyers in pubs/restaurants/public places. You know the ones that take about 5 minutes to dry your hands and look like they have been transported from 1979.

Ah the dyed hair.
I work in beauty and the amount of old ladies walking around with jet black, tart red or baby blonde hair is ridiculous.
GIVE UP THE DYE AT 70

Not having the prices on things. I can afford to buy things I like but often I think I'm getting stung as the shop keeper is inflating the price based on what they think the customer will pay.

Or seeing someone nervously ask the price and the shop keeper smugly telling them
It's such and such a price in a smug manner that implies the person won't be able to afford it.

Or not having a price for the damn thing and saying the owner is away and they can't sell it. Ridiculous.

But that's basically motivational. If they are fit and you meet them in ASDA

@FancyFran my husband calls those women 1991. 19 from behind with their latest fashion clothes and swishy dyed hair but when they turn round and you see the crypt keepers face and realise they are actually nearing 91!

The Crypt Keepers Face LOL
