A special place in hell goes to

Whose clever idea was it to put stickers on greetings cards?! Not the easy pull off ones but the ones that leave some of the sticker behind. I know very first world problems.

Anybody want to put anything into the black hole of hell?

Mums pushing empty prams around.
Parents taking up the whole path and dont tell their kids to move on the side.
People treating dogs like humans or letting them jump on you when you pass.
People with their heads in their phones and bang into me.
Kids running and screaming in the shops.
People chating in the door ways.

Yes i have a people issue.

The new bottle tops that have me hurting my hands every time i open a bottle of fizzy water

They're awful. I've got problems with my hands anyway. Now I get red marks all over me when I open them, even if I use my sleeve.

And they're a nightmare to screw back on. If you don't get it just so, it doesn't go back on.

People who refuse to make progress when driving, even when they've got ten cars trailing behind them.

Just GOOO!

Also, that you're expected to wait in A&E for half your life and the seats are made of rock hard plastic.

People that leave disposable barbecues still alight and permanently unattended. On beaches, parks etc. they can cause terrible burns and fires. One genius put one on the bench in our communal garden and low and behold the bench was burned to a cinder. Ever heard of water? And taking it away to a bin? Morons.

I hate these but just been thinking

When you go to places where they take the top off...wonder if they will now be bothered 😅

People who don't indicate at roundabouts so you don't know if you have to give way or not.

(you know, when everyone is trying to give way to the right, but you don't know if the person is turning left, going straight ahead or turning right and we all sit there like plums waiting for something to happen).

Edited

Completely agree. Or even more mysterious to me are those who indicate right to go all the way round but don’t indicate to come off, so leave the roundabout while still indicating that they are staying on it. If you don’t see where they join (massive great roundabout in the way for example!) how can you know they’ve reached their exit?

Cat food pouches “in gravy”. Bloody impossible to get the food out without getting it all over your hands. Which continue to smell after washing.

Lemon juice takes the smell away. Also works for smoked salmon.

Flossflower · 13/09/2024 13:06

Bananas being sticky taped together. Is this a new thing?
As already mentioned people that don’t indicate which direction they are turning in the car.

Packaging on scissors which you can only open with… scissors.

And all the crap packaging that can’t be recycled.

I’d add the advice on items such as tetrapaks ‘ask at your local recycling centre’. Like I’m going to queue in my car to ask one of the operatives ‘where should I put this milk carton?’

wheretoyougonow · 13/09/2024 13:07

People who park 1/2 way on the pavement or by a dropped kerb. Wheelchair users shouldn't have to go in the road because you're a prick.

Does it work on onion/garlic as well? I always use disposable gloves.

Thanks, @harriethoyle ! I’ll give it a go.

People that don't use headphones when listening to stuff on their phones on the bus.
Two of the wankers on the bus I've just got off.
I have a migraine and I hate you

Sparklywhiteteeth · 13/09/2024 13:08

Women who judge other women. Just reading some threads on here and I swear, there is a special place in hell for them.

SirChenjins · 13/09/2024 13:09

People who leave public toilets in a revolting state - they deserve the place closest to the fire in hell
Cyclists who don't slow down on shared paths or let you know that they're behind you, but barrel along within a foot of you.
Drivers who drive too fast/too slow/don't indicate/take up 2 parking spaces/park in disabled or parent and child spaces when they shouldn't (most drivers would be banned from the roads if I had my way)
People who play loud music in their back gardens or who have stinky BBQs
People who have the choice of where to stand, but instead stand right in front of you
People, really.

Near where I live there is a turning for the village and then, shortly afterwards, a turning for the A1.

Special place for those who take the turning for the village, realise it's the wrong one so stop suddenly in the middle of the road and try to do a 3 point turn.

Happyher · 13/09/2024 13:11

People who use self service tills with a trolley full of shopping and don’t pack into bags as they scan and then have to put it back in the trolley item by item

Sia8899 · 13/09/2024 13:12

Delivery people who throw your parcel at your front door. Does it really save much time to throw parcels from several steps away? So aggressive

GalileoHumpkins · 13/09/2024 13:12

My next door neighbour who's currently completely off his face unironically singing The Drugs Don't Work at the top of his voice.

Anjo2011 · 13/09/2024 13:12

Kitchen foil with that bloody sticker on it when you open a new one. Rips every time.

AHFBridport · 13/09/2024 13:13

The many people living nearby who get dogs but don't train them so they bark all day and half the night.

You can get stainless steel soap to get the smell off your hands but apparently just rubbing them on a metal sink works too!

AHFBridport · 13/09/2024 13:14

And coathangers! Just coathangers. I swear they have a conspiracy against me.

crackofdoom · 13/09/2024 13:14

Generic booking.com descriptions.

I don't really care if the property is 8.3 miles from the Emirates Stadium and 5.3 miles from Westfield Shopping Centre, I'd like to know how close it is to the nearest station and whether that is in fact a sofa bed in the picture 🙄

stayathomer · 13/09/2024 13:14

I used to work in a book/ gift shop and we rang the supplier to send back greeting cards with stickers on them because we’d gotten complaints the year before and had told them we couldn’t take them again.

Hate skincare/ shower bottles that stop you getting every last bit of product EVEN when you cut them open!!!
