I know I know I was asking for it- going out in the car on a Sunday; 'Sunday drivers'... As I was sat/stuck behind yet another slow, overly cautious (shit - IMO) driver it infuriated me that she left a car sized gap between her and the car in front of her. These selfish twats idly trundle by just as the lights change leaving whoever was stuck behind them (and their massive unnecessary gap...) stuck at the lights. I curse them. What and/or who really gets you mad?

Drivers who do 40mph regardless of the speed limit
People who decide that the best place to stop and have a chat/rummage in their bag/make a phone call is in the doorway to a shop, blocking the entrance
Rude people
People who don't learn about/train/care for their pets properly and then wonder why they have health/behaviour problems
UKIP/Brexit
People who post everything on Facebook eg 'Nice coffee with Jane', 'Off shopping with the girls', 'Time for [tv programme]!'

I could go on but will shut up now Grin

Slow walkers Angry

And I know IABVU because not everyone has ridiculous legs and takes BFG style strides like me, but OMG, please don't take up the entire pavement/corridor with your whole herd of slow-walker brethren AngryAngryAngry. How am I supposed to get anywhere?

Similarly, people who stand in fucking doorways Angry

Phew.

Aquamarine1029 · 06/08/2017 19:40

Any time I see someone texting on the phone whilst driving absolutely enrages me. I want to smash their stupid fucking head in. It is SO dangerous and SO FUCKING RECKLESS. I can't imagine being such a massive cunt who has no regard for other people's safety.

WhamBarsArentAsFizzyAsTheyWere · 06/08/2017 19:41

The stupid blue wiggles stupid face.

I have a 2 year old obsessed with it at the minute and he annoys me more than anything in the whole world right now.

minionsrule · 06/08/2017 19:41

People who out of the blue come up with half baked ideas without thinking them through..... looking at dh Angry
People who mess you about with summer holiday plans and leave you hanging so you can't plan anything..... MIL looking at you now Angry

GaryNumanIsOlderThanGaryOldman · 06/08/2017 19:43

Scummy scammy McScammers scum. And seasonal episodes of shows shown on the wrong date. And film posters with names above the wrong actor.

Mulch · 06/08/2017 19:43

People smoking in their car with kids.

People who post everything on fb

ShutUpBaz · 06/08/2017 19:44

Pub regulars who think they own the place, should get served first and generally treat my staff like shit.

Lateness in any form. No, your time is not more important than mine. No, none of you 'constantly late' as they always appear in droves on MN will ever sufficently justify it. Underestimating how long things take/how long it'll take to get there etc is not an excuse. You are an entitled idiot.

Cockroaches. Skittery fuckers.

ButchyRestingFace · 06/08/2017 19:44

Cats.

Fast, stream of conciousness speakers.

Performance Facebookers.

formerbabe · 06/08/2017 19:44

People who drop litter. Angry

CatAnnoyance · 06/08/2017 19:44

Folk in the supermarket who see someone they know so park their trolleys to have a lovely long chat, all while blocking the aisle. Totally fucking oblivious.

Mulch · 06/08/2017 19:47

People that don't pick up their dog muck

People that swear at their kids

user1457213512 · 06/08/2017 19:48

Kids on scooters or roller blades in the supermarket

Appraiser · 06/08/2017 19:49

Lazy people looking at you DH, parties don't host themselves you know; of course you can go back to bed after lunch, I'm not fucking tired at all 🤔

Rude people the lady who jumped my entire family at the carvery, I am looking at you

Children that get off their seats at dinner tables. Sit the FUCK down when I'm eating.

Parents who never seem to understand their daughter despite knowing her for thirty-so years.

Bellend drivers who can't park / drive / follow directions.

That feels better. Thanks OP

gamerwidow · 06/08/2017 19:49

Litter droppers
Loud talkers
Tailgaters
Inpatient drivers that beep (cause that's definitely going to make the traffic go faster Hmm)
Queue jumpers

timeforabrewnow · 06/08/2017 19:49

Impatient people who get unnesarily mad at poor spelling

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 06/08/2017 19:49

Faffers.

The world is full of them. Ask them a simple question and they mull it over for minutes (e.g. Would you like a cup of tea?)
In supermarkets they stand for ages putting their shopping / purse / wallet away instead of simply moving the fuck out of the way.

I also despise Sunday drivers.

CoughLaughFart · 06/08/2017 19:49

The fashion for everything having to have a twee little name to make it into more than it is - e.g. couples have to have 'date night' instead of just going out for dinner. I even saw someone say on Facebook today that she and her husband were having 'date morning'. They'd been for a fucking coffee around the corner! Not everything is an event!

The same people are the ones who feel the need to go for 'a few cheeky drinks'? What makes them 'cheeky'? Do they blow raspberries at you behind your back?!

anon333222111 · 06/08/2017 19:50

Me!!!! I'm a complete tit! I really am! Worst of all - I can't run away from myself and have to hang about with myself all the f!*king time!!

timeforabrewnow · 06/08/2017 19:50

See what I did there?

Maelstrop · 06/08/2017 19:50

Yes to the endless Facebook statuses and ridiculous Snapchat filters the make people look like they're in Avatar.

People with untrained dogs who can't recall them: I am training my dog, I don't want all of the field so please keep your dog out of my space or at least teach it a solid recall so I'm not persistently interrupted.

Solicitors who take a week to ask the person in the office next to them the answer to a question I've asked (same solicitor acting for me and other party) then sending a letter to the other party, then going on holiday without letting the clients know.

LinoleumBlownapart · 06/08/2017 19:51

My sister in law and her fugly imp of a husband.

peachgreen · 06/08/2017 19:51

People who say their pets are the same as babies. For some reason it's the main hangover from my miscarriage (I think because a 'friend' tried to comfort me by saying she understood because her cat had died a few months ago).

gamerwidow · 06/08/2017 19:51

Forgot one, vaguebookers
Either say what the issue is or shut the fuck up.

iklboo · 06/08/2017 19:52

People who stop dead at the top of escalators / stairs & gawp round.
