...everything in the list below?

I thought I'd get everything out in one thread.

-Dresses with only one arm. You see them at award ceremonies and stuff but they look silly. I think of them as bowling dresses because the only practical point I can see to them is that it must help your bowling to have your bowling arm unencumbered by sleeve.

-People who walk too slowly. Just get out of my way! I've got stuff to do!

-People who walk to quickly. Calm down and stop jostling past me. I don't care if you've got stuff to do!

-People who start an answer to your question by sucking air through their teeth in an attempt to make it seem like their response will be truly earth shattering.

-People who think of animals as their babies. Even worse are those that dress them up in human like clothes. Get a grip women! (And I do mean women because it is only women who put bonnets on cats)

-Decorated cars. They look shit. If a VW Beetle looked so great red with black ladybird spots and eyelashes then VW would make them like that. They don't because they look shit. You're not being wacky, you're being a twerp.

-Kitchen utensil drawer. Why are they made to jam shut? Why is that thought of as a useful feature?

-Idiots that take pride in not being able to function. "I can't use a computer!" "I always avoid those self checkouts!" "It took me 5 days to put together an IKEA spoon rack!". It's a bad thing that you can't do it, not good.

-Netmums. Humourless establishment prissy doily-using maiden aunts.

-Precocious children. Yeah, but can you drive? Can you? Can you? No! because you're a child!

-Ian Hisplop/Jeremy Hardy/etc. Every silver lining has a cloud. Negative negative negative. They say everything is crap and if it's not (Olympics for example) it's quietly forgotten. If a scientist were to find a cure for cancer, they would bang on about how the scientist once got a parking ticket, "Shamed drug scientist" they would call him. And if they know everything about how to run things to make the world a better place, why don't they?

-Comedians who talk about the royal family being "German". Very lazy and xenophobic. Her family came here over 300 years ago but they're still German?

-Orange juice with "Bits". Unless they specify what the bit are I'm not drinking it. Would you eat pasta that was advertised as containing "Things"?

People who say that everything was better in the old days. Actually, I think you'll find that before the 1970s at least 50% of children were shoved up chimneys or down t'pit where they died of cholera, polio, mal-de-mare, plague, dynasty, smallpox and elfshot. Now that sort of thing doesn't happen in the South of England.

I should probably have a rest now for a bit.

Atbeckandcall · 19/03/2014 21:21

YYYYYY to all of them.
Another hate is people who have gender appreciation conversations in front of me.

"Oh yay, you're having a boy! Totes congrats, that's so obvs amazeballs!! Boys really are the best aren't they?!" All said in front of me and dd.

By the way, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER!!!!!!AngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

TABU for saying "totes" and "amazeballs" Grin

Is there a feminine equivalent to "amazeballs"? "amazeclit", perhaps?

  • car drivers hugging the bike lane.
  • chewing gum debris.
  • fag debris...people smoking in entrances.
  • people stopping and talking in stupid places - entrances, middle aisles etc.
  • people telling me they have emailed me...and then telling me the content of said email.
  • Slacktivism - esp. Of Facebook variety.
  • people (usually women) waiting to find purse and money until they are asked for payment.
  • quite a lot of Disney stuff. Especially princess-types with Huge eyes and Huge boobs.
  • the word "panties".
  • Hun/hunni/babes.
  • competitive faux-crapness.

Flaptastic? Vagulous? Vulvderful?

Don't forget all the guffawing along whilst looking like a yawning camel, twot twot twot!

NationMcKinley · 19/03/2014 21:34

Harps - can't fucking stand the poncy twiddly crap sound they make.

Tap Dancers - the way the bend forward swinging their arms about with a smug inane grin on their faces makes me want to shove a corkscrew up their arse

Stickers proclaiming that a car - usually a Nissan Micra with those twattish fake eyelashes- is "Powered by Fairy Dust" no it fucking isn't. It's powered by fossil fuel you total bell end

Loud Parenters (I've spent the day in a local museum so I've really really been irritated with the constant "Fellatia darling! Quick! Look! It's an albatross, al-ba-tross, remember, we made one last week from papier mâché!")

Cunting Autocorrect - it's taken me about half an hour to write this.

Jeremy CHunt and George Osbourne. They'll be first against the wall when I run the country.Angry

*disclaimer. I may have PMT.

Actually wee'd a little at Pandas. Smug. GrinGrin

slithytove · 19/03/2014 21:39

"Would OF" instead of "would HAVE"

When on facebook "grrrr I am so angry/upset/what a shitty day"
Reply "aw what's wrong"
"I'll pm you/can't say on facebook"

Really gets on my tits.

Washing next to/on top of the washing basket. Because opening a lid is so hard.

wyldchyld · 19/03/2014 21:39
  • Misuse of apostrophes. I fully intend to carry a Sharpie to correct them. It gives me the RAGE.
  • Text speak. "U OK bbz? Txt mi" makes me want to rip you to pieces with my bare hands.
  • People who describe their work as being "Full Time Mummy" or have the Facebook name TwatFace Bratty'sMummy McCuntknickers. Just because you have decided not to work does not make you more of a "full time mummy" than the bloody hard working full time mummies who also balance work!!!
  • Cars who drive at 40mph on the motorway. WHY???
  • I have to drive on a university campus every day. Students walk straight down the middle of the road / stand in the parking spaces / have a PICNIC in the entrance road. MOVE. There is a pavement for your perambulatory needs.
  • Faux celebrities. Kim Kardashian, Katie Hopkins, Fearne Cotton, Kerry Katona et al, I am looking at you. Also, "effortlessly cool and chic" celebrities. No, you're not quirky and unique. You're the final result of a well oiled, cleverly maintained and minutely planned press machine.
  • The Conservative Party.

Duvet covers

wyldchyld · 19/03/2014 21:41

I have to add, though, I drive a Nissan Micra. Not out of choice but because is was bloody cheap and I got an exceptionally good deal on the insurance.

I have no ridiculous stickers or add ons, it's dark purple as opposed to pink and I drive it like a proper person i.e. at normal speed and able to parallel park etc

Oh and wyldchyld guess what car I'm in the process of buying? Want to go halves in a set of eyelashes? YY to the Cuntservatives BTW Grin

wyldchyld · 19/03/2014 21:48

Nation - only if we can go halves on a set of sparkly eyeliner strips to match the eyelashes ;)

bumperella · 19/03/2014 21:52

My wee Micra demised last year, and I've replaced it with an even-more stabby-fit-inducing Nissan Pixo. Ha! S'there!
WTF is "velvet art" though???

chosenone · 19/03/2014 21:52

This thread has made me chuckle Grin if only because I never thought of a panda, a PANDA as either a twat, smug or a doormat !

GwendolineMaryLacey · 19/03/2014 21:53

I only have one at the moment. A carpet shop called...

Supaflors

I drive past this bastard often and I can tell them that I am more likely to put a brick through their window than buy flooring from them. Who are they appealing to? If it's people that can't spell then they might as well spell it correctly, it makes no difference. If it's people that can spell then that's stupid, because people who can spell hate them.

TiggyCBE · 19/03/2014 21:54

It's like normal art but the black bits have been replaced by patches of velvet. You can get it from market stalls that also sell dream catchers and wolf fleeces.

God I just hate emotional vampires/ grief vampires (think that's the term ) people who vaguely know someone who is ill or poorly, and jump on it and make it their drama ! I think it's disrespectful. I know someone who remembered someone from their brownie pack approx 30 years ago! They had sadly died and this person was pouring all her grief out on fb !

BurnThisDiscoDown · 19/03/2014 22:01

Misuse of worse and worst.
Misuse of affect and effect.
Could of, would of etc.
People using words they don't really know the meaning of (DH, I'm looking at you).
I'm an intolerant pedant Blush.

Also, people who ask me a question and then don't listen to the answer. If you don't want to know, don't ask! Angry

EverythingsDozy · 19/03/2014 22:05

When you're saying someone's name but it sounds too much like another word. For example, my DDs name sounds very much like floor so it sounds really odd when I'm telling her to get off the floor...

The pandas not evolving reminded me that, apparently, we share 50% of our DNA with bananas. Not sure how I feel about that one.

vrtra · 19/03/2014 22:08

I love you op.

Can I please add "fruit and yoghurt" to the list? It seems like the mumsnet answer to everything, and it's foul. "can you try offering your fussy child fruit and yoghurt" "oh I never eat puddings we always have fruit and yoghurt" "my favourite breakfast is fruit and yoghurt". Gag.

I start sharpening my knives when they call it "yog".

Actually can I add unnecessarily abbreviated words as well? Yog, pots, toms, broc, and spag are random sounds not foodstuffs.

BuggarMeGently · 19/03/2014 22:20

"Baby" vegetables. Always feel a bit sadistic when I buy them.

People saying "Aw, bless!" after everything.

Typing in local dialct. "She is going the shop".

A whimper through the baby monitor as you're just about to come.

EverythingsDozy · 19/03/2014 22:20

I love strawbs and yog

Hassled · 19/03/2014 22:21

Re cutlery drawers - (adult) DD and I were so enraged by a jammed drawer that we ended up with the entire unit in the middle of the kitchen, on its side, every tool we could find out and fuck the fact it was pushing midnight. We had a drawer to open, dammit, and we got the bastard in the end.

Mind you DD is the girl who turned a whole room upside down to find a mouse. It looked like a particularly nasty burglary.

All I can add to Tiggy's excellent lists is unnecessary and wrong abbreviations. People who call paracetamol "parrots" should be shot.
