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?

Gravy. Vile stuff which, in my view, is completely unnecessary. I want my food to taste of what it is not gravy and also if it is meant to be crisp like roast potatoes or yorkshire pudding then why the hell would I want to make it soggy by pouring gravy over it?

Don't even start me with chips and gravy. In no reality whatsoever do chips and gravy go together and neither do chips and curry sauce.

I moved from London to the Midlands 6 years ago and can't believe how obsessed with gravy the people are here.

I've GIVEN UP THE DYE and discovered just how much work white hair is. I have to wash it every day as it really shows the dirt and it always seems to have a yellow tinge to it. I've tried purple shampoo but that just makes my hair yellow and lilac

@Lessoftheold wella shampoo is the only one for me.
I had my hair cut very short. No one likes it but I do. It's easy and photographs well. No roots or fag blonde ends. Very liberating. I do wash it every day but did even with waist length hair.
Freedom.

@Hedjwitch i did have a JRT who had a 'secruity' jumper. Bitey little bastard so he wore it.

@Hedjwitch

Your post reads better if the last two are combined -

'People who sniff Dogs being forced to wear clothes'

People licking the lids of yoghurt pots 🤢. If I see them doing it I secretly hope they'll cut their tongue on the lid. 😈

Fag blonde ends Great description

My hair is quite short already in a nan pixie cut. Unfortunately I don't have the features for very short or I would go for it.

People who drink their tea and go AHHHHH that was good, with relief whilst exhaling, it's tea ffs not the elixir of youth 🤣

Inappropriate balconies on houses in surburbia.

@FormerlyPathologicallyHappy there is a new build house near us with fake sunflowers wrapped around their Juliet balcony. Mind you all the blokes walk like the scousers in Harry Enfield and friends.

God what fresh hell have I bought into? (recent move).

Or better still, when the parent is appropriately dressed for the weather and yet the poor new born in a sling has neither socks on nor a hat. And they go about all Eco-saving the planet, but then every cough or wink that little Poppy has, they are clogging up the doctors surgery and wanting to give you a minute by minute update. Just clothe your baby and stop the nonsense

🤣

@ThreeRingCircus guilty M' Lord.
But not in public.

People who still use 'u' instead of you, '2' instead of to etc. Its just lazy and make me question their intelligence

Artificial sweeteners of any form, they taste so incredibly bad I don't understand how anyone can stomach them

Tiktok, tiktok trends, tiktok famous products, just everything about tiktok

Agree with a lot of this, but borders?

Yeah and the tendrilly bits wrap themselves round your tonsils and you can't then swallow them.

Being called babe, hun or hunny.

I walked into a shop once and the shop assistant, a young woman said, 'Morning babe!'

I'm so old I remember the Boer war!

Babe!

Dogs heads hanging out of car windows.

^ the dog enjoying some fresh air not some macabre dog sacrifice.

🤣🤣🤣

Being called Kitten or Darling 🥴🏃‍♂️

Whistling.

Mmmmmmm- gravy 😋.

'Specials' on a chalkboard that have been handwritten in chalk by someone with the chronic shakes and can only be read if you stand a foot away from it and tilt your head and I don't know about you but once I've plonked myself down in a chair I do not want to have to get up and and read some badly written menu of the day, having to manoeuvre past other diners.
