I view vegetarians as being unnecessarily fussy and daft. I have friends who are veggies, I will cook for them. Likewise, if someone has an allergy, I will respect that to the nth degree. But I still cannot shake my prejudice that veggies are attention seek-y or making a grand statement mainly cause most of my "veggie" friends stopped so they could stuff their faces with kebabs when drunk and said that they didn't eat bacon as a comment on society xD

Also, I am very, very judge-y about people who use text speak or lazy grammar. Even on things like Facebook. If you're dyslexic, fine. However, I am genuinely on the brink of removing a friend (well, friend of DH who latched on a bit) because her statuses make me want to throttle her.

All of this is wholly internalised and I would never say anything, obviously - tell me yours, no matter how petty / mean / judge-y they are.

Lights on first thing in the morning. Yes I know it's dark. It's winter and I should be allowed to hibernate.
Waking up when it's still dark is not natural.

Aldi car park. I quite like the shop but people learn to drive, it is not wacky races.

Adults who wear teen brands. It's not trendy. It's tragic

Conspicuous parenting.loudly braying that one breast feeds/cloth bums/attachment parents or whatever to anyone who listens. Just get on with it.quietly

Buttered Lights at any time, soft lighting it the maximum permitted!

I just thought of another one, whenever someone dares to say they don't like something small about MN, and they get jumped on and told how dare they come and criticise and if they don't like it to leave add infinitum such comments, it always makes me laugh and think that the person writing needs to get a grip.

I also think the people that take the piss out of NM's are pathetic and show quite a bit of bullish behaviour, and then I judge they might be bringing their kids up to think its ok to take the piss out of people who are different or actually are not really different but log onto a different internet site FFS.
Yes there is banter, but I don't think its banter when you don't know the people or actually say it to their faces.

Huns, hubbies, wifeys, prinnys, little mans, 'perf' families, muchlys, that is alls, just sayings, totes amazeballs, my life is awesomes, jels, blah blah blahs. Also known as one of my sisters. Just conversing with her or seeing her facebook posts makes me want to pull my eyeballs out of my ears and juggle them.

ithoughtofitfirst · 06/01/2015 18:29

What's a prinny?

People who,drag their feet when walking - worst place is a shopping centre due to the flooring.

Coloured bras under a different coloured top.

DH's cough.

DS's nose blowing.

DD1's cry.

DD2's neediness!

The way my sister flutters her eyelids when proving a point - unreasonable as she has no idea she's doing it and can't do it on request!

I don't like our new next door neighbour, he's made our life pretty miserable with his renovations for the last 6 months. 6 days a weeks 8am until 7pm. I know it's got to be done but I think he's an arrogant prick.

DaphneMoon1 · 07/01/2015 01:24

I'm unreasonably pissed off that I am heavily pregnant and this baby is making no moves to bloody well make an appearance.

Wholly unreasonable of me to feel this way because my due date isn't till Sunday, but I don't care. I'm far too vexed and uncomfortable to be rational about it at the moment.

Honestly every morning this week I have woken with hope - maybe today will be the day that something, anything will happen to make me believe that it might be soon. Maybe I'll get this famous "show", or maybe the baby will move down the way and remove his/her foot from my ribcage. But every day the same. Insomnia, nausea, back pain, beathlessness and boredom. Oh, the boredom....

Oh, the boredom....
Famous last words... :)

That was me almost 10 years ago.

Pushchairs with dogs in them.

Morgue children in parks that are unsupervised and then try to come home with us.

Children playing football against my house.

People that have dog. Walk dog. Let dog empty itself and then keep walking.

People that collect dog poo and then fling the bag into a tree.

Being mistaken for a shop worker and being asked where something is.

Overhearing an actual shop worker being asked where something is and not knowing FFS even I know where that is!

Veggie food made to look like meat.

People who spend loads of money buying takeaway coffee and carry it into work because it makes them feel like they are in an American film.

I'm a veggie to get on the type of people's nerves who get on my nerves. I also used a mooncup for a while so I could tell people about it to make them feel a bit sick, or better still to discuss it with my mate (who also had one) if we wanted a bloke at a party to go away. I also do yoga and the 5 2 diet coz I know it will irritate some people.

Daphne I hope the baby comes soon.

GoddessWhoWalksEarthAsWoman · 07/01/2015 02:07

Oh and people that say chav, chavy, or chavlicious. They are hate filled wankers.

GoddessWhoWalksEarthAsWoman · 07/01/2015 02:13

Captain I completely agree with you, saw a friend of a friend yesterday in town , never spoken to her , absoulutly can't stand her, she is also apparently a lovely lady, I'm sure she's not!!!
I also hate paninis with a passion and won't go into a cafe which sells them as I think they are a lazy sand which made with no love and overpriced IABU I dont care

Tribeca10013 · 07/01/2015 08:13

Diets/latest nutrition fad.shut up about kale and juicing
Conspicuously worthy mooncup organic types who bang on about consumerism .live a little.go to the mac counter,make you look less of a farmhand who cuts own hair

OxonConfusedDotCom · 07/01/2015 08:53

Dogs in pushchairs?!! Never seen that, but yes, weird. Have seen dogs in baby Bjorn- type carriers before and to be honest looked more sad than anything. Wondered what had happened to the woman to cause her to babify the dog so : (

That we live in a new housing development and each house has its own car parking space/s. It's really pisses me off that people park in mine even though we've no car at the moment without gaining permission first Wink

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 07/01/2015 09:55

DH doesn't take his coat off as soon as he gets in the door. He comes in the hallway, takes his shoes off and puts his bag down, then walks into the living room and sits on the sofa with it on. Sometimes for up to an hour.

It drives me absolutely insane and I don't know why.
