I've got new neighbours. I really doubt they are my kind of people. They've got a glittery toilet seat.

People who say (and spell) 'hun'

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:35

People camping who have everything immaculately organised, (usually older couples) - usually also involves 'wearing identical clothing' at the same time.

AudTheDeepMinded · 15/07/2017 16:35

Iwould hurrah! Now, don't get me started on how to pronounce 'scheduled' correctly.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:35

writing which has hearts where the dot on the i should be.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:36

Constance I think it was the horror of us having visitors and having to 'share a loo'.

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 15/07/2017 16:38

Anyone who puts coke (the drink not the drug) in a baby bottle and hands it to a small toddler in a pushchair, yes I witnessed this, yes I bloody well judged. I also don't like seeing a baby or toddler with a bottle of juice just hanging from their mouth, their teeth will rot.

I don't like seeing toddlers walking around, playing perfectly happy with a bloody great dummy in their mouths. Ok if they must be used for sleeping, but in a park or playgroup or anywhere else, nope. I've even seen a mum forcefully trying to shove it in when child was sat perfectly happy and playing nicely.

I judge really poor grammar. Not dyslexic people, that's usually obvious but some things you see written are just unreadable.

I judge people that judge and insist "fussy" adults have to just suck it up and eat everything because they are a grown up and they shouldn't be fussy. I have aspergers and have food issues, they are my issues and don't affect anyone else at all but the amount of people that feel they can comment on what I do and don't eat fucks me right off. Mind your own bloody business. I have only recently been diagnosed but I'm not sharing this with many people so will continue to look like a fusy person, sod off thinking it has anything to do with you!

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:39

It is a thing, the amount of loos you should have! even my mum - who lived and died in a council property - made a face as our first home had only one toilet and she had two and she wasnt a snob by any means.
its an odd thing!

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:39

People who pour misery over everything nice that happens to you, because the one time it happened to them they didn't enjoy it.
People who remark, "Oh I wish I could look good in that dress/top/jeans/whatever, but I'm so fat/can't afford it, can get the same thing in Sainsbury's/Asda/etc. Why can't you just say it's nice and leave it at that...

theymademejoin · 15/07/2017 16:40

People who put hairbands on babies with no hair.

iwouldgoouttonight · 15/07/2017 16:40

AudTheDeepMinded erm, how do you pronounce scheduled? I thought there was only one way but now I'm worried I've been saying it wrong.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 16:40

People on FB who give a run down of their day.

" Just cleaned the house from top to bottom, walked the dogs, prepared tonight's tea, baked a cake with toddler, washed and folded clothes and mopped the floor. Now sitting down for a well deserved cuppa " cue lots of " your amazing hun " from cronies. *sp

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:41

YY in the town I grew up in, used to see babies with stuff like coke and squash in bottles. Grim.

Dukesofhazzard · 15/07/2017 16:41

But 'aitch' is not an opinion, it's a bloody fact. If it was meant to be pronounced 'haitch' it would be spelt like that in the dictionary

When I was in school many years ago in Ireland I was taught 'haitch', maybe it's different now I have no idea. Lots of people in Ireland still say 'haitch'.

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 15/07/2017 16:41

People who display variations of the 'Baby on Board' sticker on their car, e.g.Little Princess on Board', 'Cool Dude on Board', 'Fairy Princess on Board', 'Little Man on Board'. 'Baby on Board' is bad enough!

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:42

Rude children, (especially ones who don't say please and thank you) Surprisingly many of these around I find.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:42

The 'hun' thing is also a craze i wish would die out.

my brother sometimes calls me 'babe' and it puts my teeth on edge.
I'm 52 ffs, but he is lovely so i let it go.. at least dh doesnt call me that.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:43

' car run by fairy dust' - no, it isnt, its run on diesel petrol or electricity like everyone elses.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 16:43

I quite like babe said in a tongue in cheek way.

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 16:44

The "hun" thing sets my teeth on edge, but being catholic and from the west of Scotland it has a whole other meaning!

alwaysprepare · 15/07/2017 16:44

Aud you remind me of a few years ago at work and I was spelling something to this woman on the phone and she repeatedly corrected my aitch to haitch. In the end I doubted myself and had to verify with colleagues as she sounded so confident . Haha

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:44

Men saying Dear or Darling.

alwaysprepare · 15/07/2017 16:45

I don't like 'darling' from strangers.

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:45

Saying 'O" instead of zero

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:45
