Names with umlauts in them, unless you live in Germany or nordic lands. I don't mind accents in names, or that funny dot above the i in Irish names, but names with umlauts in get on my tits. Especially Zoë. Everyone can pronounce it when it is spelled Zoe. It is just attention seeking.

My mother is genuinely moved by whatever latest story she has heard on the train. She has tears in her eyes. If only she wouldn't share.

Toast crumbs in margarine or butter. Grim.

Certain cults sects who tout their brand of christianity door-to-door....... regularly......... despite having been told you have no interest.
And the fact that they drag their childern along.
Go away or I may be forced to turn up on your doorstep extolling the virtues of atheism.

i hate hearing men refer to their wives as the wife it iritates me beyond belief

BarbiesBeaver · 14/09/2010 12:00

People in supermarkets who need to pick up and read every single ingredient on every packet/jar/box before purchasing. Usually whilst blocking the entire aisle.

The word ?chillax? makes me want to vomit.

Deliberately mispronounced foreign words, often said by my mum, ?Fajitas? said ?fah-jee-tahs? ?lasagne? said ?lah-sag-nee?. You get the picture.

Nail files. Sandpaper scratching along nails eurrgh.

Big platters of sandwiches at buffets. What is that mystery white paste filling? How many pairs of hands have pawed over those sandwiches? Oh and chocolate fountains at weddings. Do I want to eat liquid cheap chocolate with additional germs, bogeys, skin flakes and saliva? No thanks. Why not spend the £200+ on some nice chocolate pieces and leave them on my plate instead?

kitcat83 · 14/09/2010 12:02

My husband after 6 years of being together not being able to hang up a wet towel, put the toilet seat down, or put a lid on any bloody product in the bathroom

People saying brought instead of bought!

People who drive at forty anywhere what every the speed limit be it 30 or 60, this really annoys me

People who beep me at the petrol station when I need to put super in my car (its not my fault there is only super at the pump at the back)- get a better car!!

People picking their noses, yuk

that stringing bit of saliva some people get in the corner of their mouths, have a drink and mint you disgusting people!!

UGG boots- just wrong

Stupid lazy women that think its ok to go shopping in their pjs

soo many more!!!

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/09/2010 12:15

Oh no I say fa-jeet-a delibertaley wrongly. We also pronounce chorizo chor-itso with shrill cockney accents in order to piss off fluent spanish DP who pronounces it in full lispy castillian fashion. Mind you we also do this in public so it is possible that people in sansbos just think we are fick.

Toasters. I loathe toasters. They vomit crumbs all over the place. Just use to grill to make toast. I threw my toaster on the skip in a protest and don't have one now.

Dishwashers. WHY? Everyone I know washed the dishes before they put them in 'in order not to block the filter'. Pointless things. It is far quicker and easier just to do the damn dishes.

Hmmm where do i start:

Barking/howling dogs

Noisy eaters

Drivers who don't indicate

Drivers who turn right in tescos in town when there is a sign that states NO RIGHT TURN - KNOBS.

Women who wear chavtastic clothing
People on Facebook whos statuses are like 'lve mi lil boii n mi lil princess loadzzz. FFS type in English you moron.

My sister going out and buying a £125 7 week old puppy and then ringing me the next day saying she is skint and having to eat at my mums because she has no money to buy any food - Well you shouldnt have bought a fecking dog then.

Parents who think their kids are little angels when iv just seen the little brat push my son over in the playground.

Those stupid plastic bags you get through your door asking for your unwanted clothing including underwear Confused

Bills

Shite on TV

Chavs

People on pushbikes, Please dont ride in the middle of the road, ride at the side where you're suppose to.

People ringing my mobile when im on my house phone then when i don't answer they ring DHs mobile, when he doesn't answer they ring my mobile again only for it to be my sister asking me what im doing?

People saying they are skint and then going out on the town getting razzled - your skint but you found money to get pissed with!

People who ring my house phone and its a silent call, for you to press 1471, ring back and it tells you someone has tried to contact you but you weren't available and they will call back later - well if the arrogant bastard on the other end would have spoken to me rather than just give me a silent call you would have reached me wouldn't you?

Chicken from tescos that goes off 4 days before its BBE date.

People who say 'oh my son is potty trained, well he was on the potty yesterday with no accidents' Hmm

CheekyLittleSox · 14/09/2010 12:24

VinegarTits · 14/09/2010 12:41

'guess what i did to......'

just put in the thread title FFS

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/09/2010 12:43

Wedding cakes.

They are either (a) vile fruit cakes with marzipan heavier than cement made by Aunt Norah or (b) pretentious shite costing £800 from some absurd company called choccywoccydoodah or (c) a ridiculous display of FUCKING UBIQUITOUS CUPCAKES. And whatever option you have, the only thing you can do is coo and go 'ooh lovely'.

Then you watch that absurd charade of husband and wife rupturing the symbolic hymen cutting the cake with a specially bought knife, and then feeding bits to each other.

If I ever get married I will NOT have cake.

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/09/2010 12:45

Oh Vinny that is SO true.

Most annoying threads on mumnste. OOh guess what i did today? 76 posts of inane guesswork. Then I pop up and say 'who the fuck gives a shit and is everyone on this thread so damn bored that they have to play banal guessing games about boring trivia' (I don't really, but I wanna)
