The crumb leavers. You open up the pot of 'Fuck Me If It's Not Butter!!!!' and find it covered in crumbs. "They're only breadcrumbs" they say, but how old? And are they bread? Can you guarantee they're bread? I'm not eating 3 week old mystery lumps. Stop being disgusting and get some basic spread sharing etiquette. [also see jam butterers]

The upside down bottle right-way-uppers. The scientists at Heinz spend years of their life designing bottles of ketchup that stand on their lids to help you extract every last dollop. Society moves on. Some lids go on the bottom. Get over it.

Champagne spooners. You really think that champagne keeps it fizz if you put a spoon in the neck of the open bottle? A spoon blocks gas? That famously chunky state of matter? Sure, because I'm constantly having to mash air with a fork to get it into small enough pieces to breathe. [eyeroll emoji]

I live with people who think it’s ok to make toast etc and leave crumbs on the work top.

Mrsjayy · 13/07/2024 16:14

"Fuck me it's not butter" 😂

ithinkilikethislittlelife · 13/07/2024 16:14

Ooh. Toast crumbs in the butter. Absolutely revolting. All of my family know better than to do this or they don't hear the end of my moaning.

Magpiecomplex · 13/07/2024 16:17

I've got the next step up from a butter-crumber (he does that too). Opened the mayonnaise jar once to find a lump of cooked chicken in it. Never did figure out how that happened but I know it was him.

simmertime · 13/07/2024 16:17

It's 100% true that if you put champagne in the fridge overnight with a teaspoon in the neck of the bottle it will still be fizzy the next day. Of course, it would also be fizzy if you omitted the teaspoon, but why break with tradition?

Mysterian · 13/07/2024 16:22

Empty box replacers. They trick you into thinking there are Viennese Whirls in the treat drawer, but there are no Viennese Whirls in the treat drawer. Just the cardboard exoskeleton of Viennese Whirls long past.

People who suddenly stop walking along a busy pavement when you're behind them. I swear pavements need fast and slow lanes.
People who say "like" too much - like its really like annoying
People at supermarkets who leave the queue to "just run to get something they forgot"

JohnTheRevelator · 13/07/2024 17:01

People who keep saying 'sort of','like' and 'you know 'when they're talking. Also people who keep saying 'yeah,right?' at the end of every sentence,as if they're seeking approval of what they've just said. I listen to a lot of radio phone in shows during the night (chronic insomniac 🥱) and I sometimes have to switch the radio off in frustration when someone has said 'yeah,right?' for the fiftieth time.

Funfaxfan · 13/07/2024 17:04

People who leave the spread duvet on the spread as if it would dry out despite having a lid.

leeverarch · 13/07/2024 17:04

People who make themselves a cup of tea and don't make you one. This has literally just happened as I was reading this thread. 😂

Mukirinessly · 13/07/2024 17:06

People who keep starting threads about dogs. 🙀

Mukirinessly · 13/07/2024 17:07

People who tell you to ignore threads you don’t want to read. 😂

Supersimkin7 · 13/07/2024 17:09

People you don’t want to be friends with who ask you to lunch and when you’ve slipped out of it politely and are secretly heaving sigh of relief, whip out their phones and ask when you can make it.

You see ‘2025’ on screen.

Kovus · 13/07/2024 17:09

Drivers who do not indicate at a roundabout. It hones my mind-reading skills enormously.

TheLastTrainForTheCoast · 13/07/2024 17:10

People that have champagne left over. How can you ever need to keep over night spoon or no spoon?

Knobbers that scrape the top of the butter and don't slice from the end.

But I'm with you on the crumbs that is LTB territory.

Chocolately · 13/07/2024 17:10

People who start their answer to every question with "so........" 😏

Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon · 13/07/2024 17:10

Spitters.

Loud conversationalist talkers on loud speaker on phones on public transport.

Loud speaker utter utter horrific horrendous shite fucking shit rap/ religious music… anywhere but especially on public transport.

Those who don’t put the divider on the belt at the supermarket between their shopping and mine.

Supermarket shoppers who place their trolley:
A) across an entire isle so no fucker can get past.
B) across a shelving unit/fridge/freezer and dither so no other fucker can get to it.

Drivers who:
A) don’t acknowledge when I pull to one side and let them through.
B) fly aggressively towards me with no intension of letting anyone through when there’s not enough room for 2 cars to pass. (Usually BMW/Merc drivers.)

Mysterian · 13/07/2024 17:40

Drivers of cars with eyelashes. And don't say it's not like it effects me because I have to look at it. It's childish, ruins your fuel efficiency, and it's distracts me having so many sexy cars about.

Why do none of these make sense 😂😂

“People who leave the spread duvet on the spread as if it would dry out despite having a lid.”

”People you don’t want to be friends with who ask you to lunch and when you’ve slipped out of it politely and are secretly heaving sigh of relief, whip out their phones and ask when you can make it.

😆🤔

leeverarch · 13/07/2024 17:49

People who want to stop and have a long chat with you about their dog(s) when you are out for a walk and aren't in the least bit interested.

People who put bottles on the supermarket conveyor belt sideways, so they roll about uncontrollably every time the belt moves along.

Other drivers. Pretty much all of them.

Cyclists. Ditto.

People who think that football is the most important thing on the planet right now.

People who let their children screech like a banshee.

Men walking towards you on the pavement who expect you to move out of their way.

Manspreaders on public transport.

People who are too stupid to realise that they are being stupid.

What??????

leeverarch · 13/07/2024 17:57

Bigearringsbigsmile · 13/07/2024 17:54

What??????

The inner peel-off-and-throw-away bit you get inside tubs of marge etc, that you don't need because it has a lid anyway.

I think.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 13/07/2024 17:58

Parents who don't put names inside their child's school uniform. And then complain that little jenny has lost 8 cardigans this term! How on earth they expect anyone to be able to pick out one particular navy cardigan when 400 other children in the school are wearing the exact same cardigans, I have no idea.

leeverarch · 13/07/2024 18:06

People who know full well that their child went to school without a cardigan / jumper / coat and has come home wearing someone else's. And who then unpick the name tag in it and sew in one of theirs.

And yes DD's friend's mum - I know your DD nicked my DD's cardigan because I had used bright pink thread to sew the name tag on, and you didn't quite manage to unpick all of it.
