Pet hates

[Bishopston]

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!

[Stinkylinky]

People who drive at 40 or below on roads that the national speed limit applies, especially when they are clear and in good weather conditions. Why??!!

[Littlecaf]

People who moan at public sector cuts then reveal later they voted Tory.

"When I called for an appointment they didn't have one until next Friday, and it's not with a manager! I pay their wages for godness sake".

[SomewhereIBelong]

"Boils my piss" - really?

where the heck has that come from, I see it all the time on here - not once have I heard it in real life - used to be "pissed off"

[Redhead11]

People who come out of a door and then stop dead! I used to see this all the time at my previous work place. People came out of the door to the toilets and stopped dead, blocking the whole door. Why? You know there are other people who want in/out of there!

Rude customers where I work, who can clearly see that I am dealing with a customer, yet think I should abandon that customer to serve them! Or the ones who ignore you point blank until they want something, having already scorned your offer of help. And customers who come in 5 minutes before closing! You don't need to buy clothes that urgently!

[MamaLazarou]

People who correct other people's grammar and spelling online. It doesn't make you look clever and it detracts from the flow of conversation. Such people often refer to themselves as 'pedants' or 'grammar nazis' as though they were good things. It's just rude.

[CremeEggThief]

Slow walkers.
Cyclists on pavements.
Drivers driving and parking selfishly or badly. Lots and lots of things come under this.
People who hold up the queue at the train station, on the bus or in the shop, by chatting or asking ridiculous questions. This is becoming increasingly common.
People leaving toilets unflushed or dirty.
People having no rubber gloves and kitchen roll available, when you kindly offer to wash up for them.
People putting dirty crockery straight in the sink. FGS, rinse it and stack it beside the sink, in a neat pile, if you can't wash up straight away.
Untidiness.
Things out of order.
The capital letter I without a top and tail, as in this font.

[SnowyPiglet]

People who eat with their mouths open.
People who breathe really heavily whilst eating.
People who have a jaw that clicks when they eat (please - get it fixed)

Dog poo on the pavement
Dog poo in the snow on the pavement
Worst of all - dog poo in the melting snow on the pavement.

[SnowyPiglet]

Oh - and my SIL, who has OCD (when it suits her)
She would rather wash/scrub/shine the surfaces of her kitchen than offer a cup of tea when you visit. RELAX woman - I don't care about your bloody granite kitchen surfaces and how much they shine. Be polite and offer your guests a drink!

(Glad I got that one off my chest - sorry!)

[getbusyliving]

Feature walls. Big garish flower designs ??

[Littlecaf]

Oh another that Faceplant/Twunder just reminded me of...

People who hashtag their DCs names with something AMAZING which they have achieved....

Leroy just rolled over! #Leroyisastar
Jacinta made fairy cakes! #JacintaisthenewDelia

Your child is not a marketing strategy!

[NittyDora]

Its completely irrational but people using crutches when they don't need them. Genuine crutch use is absolutely fine but as soon as they start waving about in the air I get a bit twitchy.. I'm especially irritated by people who walk along, perfectly well holding the crutches an inch off the ground. I have to stop myself running up and whipping the crutches away. I'm usually a lovely, liberal lefty but if I ruled the world I'd have a special rock breaking penal colony for this.

[MamaLazarou]

Why would you need kitchen roll in order to wash up?

[AgathaChristie01]

Underwear on show, male or female underwear, please put it away. I especially dislike the wearing of jeans/ trousers carefully positioned halfway down the backside look. I was walking into a shopping centre behind a guy one day recently, who carefully checked, before going in, to make sure that his jeans were half way down his arse.

The clue is in the title, it's UNDERWEAR.

[Soduthen116]

I would consider the use of rubber gloves in the kitchen a bit wierd to be honest and think kitchen roll is a complete waste of money.

Constant moaners.

[Bishopston]

People who are nosey, people who interfere and people who gossip!

[QueenArseClangers]

People who use the phrase 'off of' instead of 'off'.
Bad enough when Americans say it but I've recently noticed it creeping in in the uk.
Fucking dicksplats.

[QueenArseClangers]

And hashtags. You deserve to be run through with a bayonet for using them.

[ChilliAndMint]

Vintage...shabby chic...retro.

[MehsMum]

People who use Facebook to thrust their political or ethical views at you not now and again, but almost every bloody day. Born-again vegan. Very wearing.
Zombie walkers texting and not looking where they are going whilst walking painfully slowly.
Groups who walk 16 abreast down the pavement and look surprised when the DC and I just keep on coming in single file and don't leap into the gutter or cower against the wall.
Queue jumpers.
Bargers and shovers on public transport.
I could go on.

[ImSoCoolNow]

Oh oh oh Snowy you're spot on

Dog's dirt. Why? If you've dragged you're arse out the house to take your beloved pooch out for a walk surely you're not too lazy to clean up after their mess? It's disgusting. Gets in the DCs shoes and buggy wheels. One day I'll catch them and put one of youngest DDs nappies on their front step. See how they like it?

[SnowyPiglet]

Yes, it's completely foul. I sometimes see a trail of poo going off down the pavement, where a shoe or buggy wheel has obviously been through it and I really feel sorry for the victim. What a horrid surprise when you come to fold up the buggy.

Bizarrely, I once saw a poo on the floor in Arrivals at Gatwick Airport (so inside the terminal). Whether it was animal or human I have no idea. A revolting brown trail led away from it further into the terminal......

And this is even more bizarre......we once found one inside the cargo hold in an aeroplane (as you can probably guess, I work for an airline!) And no, it was not dog - our animals are only crated, this one was enormous and just sitting there on the hold floor. I can only assume a baggage loader must have been on a bet....

(Sorry, have turned this into a poo thread!)

[CremeEggThief]

Well, I cannot stand getting too much water on my hands, as I hate the feeling and it also ruins my skin. Why would you not protect your hands by wearing rubber gloves?

And why would you not have kitchen roll for wiping up mess quickly, e.g. a drop of tomato sauce while you're cooking, or drying your kitchen surfaces after you have cleaned them?

[Littlecaf]

CremeEgg you dry your kitchen surfaces after you have cleaned them?

[muminhants1]

People who say "excited for" when they mean excited about or looking forward to. You are excited about a thing, and excited for a person.

As for the traffic lights one, it's the fault of the lights. You press button, they don't change. For ages. The traffic clears. You cross. The lights change to red for car coming along after you've gone. Why? I totally understand that they have to leave a gap between changes, but if they've been on green for traffic for the last 10 minutes they should change for the pedestrian right away.

Dog owners who think it's ok for their enormous dog to chase my child (or me) along the canal towpath.

People who say "deets" instead of details. AAAGH!

[susanstryingterm]

People who drag you up to dance when you've made it perfectly clear you don't want to.

People who let their kids stay out creating a racket until all hours because it's their Summer holidays.

Tailgaters.
