Another thread mad me think of this - but girly social media stuff namely:

((((((Hugs))))))))

And it's ilk!!!! Basically the false intimacy reflected in fb and the like!

Almost all of the above!

When people forget the basic rules of a roundabout when they approach a mini roundabout! Give way to the right!! It's not difficult! They all sit there looking confused and wondering who should go.

I'm from Glasgow and a lot of (very broad) Glaswegians on Facebook write in slang: 'ahm no wantin tae go oot the day it's pyoor baltic man!' And the likes...

This is great Sunday night grumpery, while we're at it people scrolling through Facebook in the middle of a group conversation. SO rude why not just yawn loudly at everyone and say you're bored.

RubyFlint · 07/06/2015 21:45

Sniffers and spitters, I hate them all.

ylimet · 07/06/2015 21:47

Hashtags on Facebook
People who say hashtag in real life conversations

ImSoCoolNow · 07/06/2015 21:47

Ruby I despise people who spit! I make a point of looking at them in disgust and try and make sure they see me

Littlecaf · 07/06/2015 21:49

Cars parked on pavement or grass verges.

I will scrap my pram against your car if you do that. I will not walk my PFB in the road just so you can park your Porsche Cayenne/Ranger Rover Evoque immediately outside your childminders house.

Sanpro

People who use the term sanpro! Angry

It's so cringe!

Stop saying it!

ginslinger · 07/06/2015 21:54

Would of. Die you fuckers.

Latium123 · 07/06/2015 22:03

People who invade your personal space in public places. Urgh, makes me want to vomit.

Books / magazines in the toilet. This has always bothered me.

Carpets in the bathroom.

I could go on here...

CakeNinja · 07/06/2015 22:05

What's sanpro?

SnowyPiglet · 07/06/2015 22:07

Yes! People who have to park as close as possible to anything, like they are afraid to walk two steps further than they have to.

People who spend ages in the queue doing nothing, only to look surprised when the cashier asks for the money and they then start digging around in their enormous bag for their purse.

People who say "50 pound". No, it's got an S on it. "50 pounds"

Teenagers with low-slung crotch trousers. Like they have done a poo in there.

Anyone chewing gum with mouth open, especially if you can hear the horrid masticating noises.

GlitteringJasper · 07/06/2015 22:07

Sanpro = sanitary protection

Yuck

LucyBorgia · 07/06/2015 22:08

Go on Latium it's good for you! People who say pacific instead of specific.

GlitteringJasper · 07/06/2015 22:09

Why do people use hashtags on FB?

RubyFlint · 07/06/2015 22:09

ImSo Good on you, yes I do that too! It's vile! Angry

Sceptimum · 07/06/2015 22:10

People writing reign in when they mean rein in.

GlitteringJasper · 07/06/2015 22:11

People who stand right outside the door at Tesco and blow a toxic plume into my face just as I step out!

Boak

EatDessertFirst · 07/06/2015 22:12

Lateness in any form.

Mums who wear their PJs on the school run but have had time to put on a face-full of slap and do their hair. CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES FFS!

Women who wear see-through leggings with tiny/no undercrackers on.

People who park on pavements.

RubyFlint · 07/06/2015 22:13

Undercrackkers ha ha brilliant!

Soduthen116 · 07/06/2015 22:16

Totally yes to the mini roundabouts. Just give way to the right you wanker. Don't just stop and look at me. It's not fucking hard.

Leggings and thongs. Dirty bitches.

Angel1983 · 07/06/2015 22:17

People who walk two/three abreast down corridors at work and don't make any effort to move over to let you past. Yes, I just love having to flatten myself against the wall just so you can barge around. Angry

People who act surprised that they are expected to pay for shopping at the till in supermarkets and spend minutes rattling around in their purses. Really? The fact that you are expected to pay your shopping has come as a surprise to you? Hmm

TSSDNCOP · 07/06/2015 22:18

People that cannot or will not hold their cutlery correctly but instead hold it upside down and entwined between their fingers. Then eat with their mouths open.

ImSoCoolNow · 07/06/2015 22:22

AIBU that all these pet hates people are mentioning seriously grind my gears? Maybe I need to chill out?
