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?

People who leave their wheelie bins in everyone's way all day on the street and aren't unable to wheel them back in.
My neighbours - able bodied both at home and the times I've seen people struggling past with prams, mobility scooters and sticks.
They are horrible people.

I HATE men walking along with no shirt on. Even worse, when they go into shops topless. On our local estate, I can guarantee I’ll see at least one if I go into the co-op there.

I always complain to the staff and they eye-roll back at me 😂

Crypt keeper's face? 😱

He sounds...nice

Shouting at children in public.

"Chardonnay, you little cow, come 'ere!"

In my day we discreetly bent down and whispered in their ear that unless they behaved all their toys would be put on a bonfire when we got home. 😉

People who litter our beautiful streets. Fuming 😡

Hahahaha 🤣

@EllaRaines ooh I am borrowing that.

Facelifts in the trade are called 'hospital corners '. That make me laugh everytime.

I have thought of another one-
PVC leggings.

I saw a cat in a sling not long ago. People were going up to the owner and asking if they could take pictures of it. 🤔

Interestingly enough I walked past a shirtless man sitting in his car earlier and I thought 'eeeuuuuugggghhhh' to myself.
I agree with you.

@milkydrink 'crypt keepers face' is my description. My husband says 'elderly woman'.
He's politer and more restrained than I.

ITV's commercials when they talk eerily quiet trying to come off as pleasant. Makes me livid.

Or Army commercials about improving self-confidence

Shoes with animal print on it anywhere or a star shape, usually on flats/sneakers. I just want a neutral comfortable shoe, you don't need to jazz it up.

🙋‍♀️

@EllaRaines Mo is that you? (my lovely SIL who has no time for bad manners). One look and people turn to jelly. However I am heartbroken, I love the Beegees!

Flesh coloured leggings and matching crop tops. They cannot be worn with underwear as it would show.

Usually sported by a young woman who might think she looks good whilst standing still in front of the mirror at home but the reality of walking around with every part of her jiggling away like a jelly on legs is not a good look.

One such woman walked out of a petrol station shop to her car in this awful ensemble and the whole forecourt didn't know where to look. Or perhaps they did, which was even worse!

Council workers standing around in safety vests doing fuck all.

Every town has them.

You can drive past them in the morning and back again at tea time and they will still be standing there doing fuck all.

@godhowridiculous ah the faux animal print. Every middle aged woman is encouraged to have a little 'fun' with these designs. I hear my late mother's voice, 'very Bet darling' !

Dog owners who let their horrible hound off the lead in a public place, then when said canine jumps up at your patently terrified crying grandchild, say" o don't worry, he loves children, he won't hurt a fly". My foot is itching to kick the creature away, but I just tell them to get their dog off and isn't it clear that the child and I don't like dogs. If I ever politely tell anyone whose dog is off a lead in a place which has specific signs that dogs should be on a lead eg child's play area, I usually get verbal abuse. What is wrong with these people? This is not in a "rough" area either!

People who don't clean up their Dog's shit.

Computer says no. Quite possibly the most accurate comedy character!

They take public facing jobs such as doctors receptionists and are po faced, disagreeable, miserable and completely and utterly unhelpful.

Why do a job you hate or more importantly who hires them in the first place?

Yes, so rude. People who litter on purpose

Come on you must hate PVC leggings.
Sweaty, smelly and designed by men.

I once pulled out some leather jeans in Armani and the DM said 'interesting, did it use the whole cow?'

I actually hate leather sofas too unless in a library.

I love bird song. I'm outdoors a lot and bird song is so wonderful to hear.

Except for the ChiffChaff who warbles with a metronomic mix of staccato chiffs, chaffs and choffs in random order.

When there are no other birds singing or calling and it's just a ruddy ChiffChaff going on and on -

@mrswhiplington I just don't get it! Are slings for the benefit of the pet or the owner? When I used to put a harness on my DS, I used to get so many snide comments referring to the fact that he is a human and not an animal, and yet now it is normal to put a pet into a sling?!

Then how about a shirtless man (see previous posts) on a hot day, sitting in a relaxed manner on a leather chesterfield. With some garden gnomes at his feet. Whilst wearing crocs.
Could happen?
