AIBU? Don't care if I am! Getting grumpy!

[strawberrisc]

Don't get me wrong I'm not an unhappy person by any means and I have a lovely circle of friends (of varying ages) who "get me" but the older I get the more the little, tiny things PISS ME OFF. You don't even need to answer as I know I'm BU but the feelings are real. Things such as people dropping litter or putting their feet on the seats on trains have always been up there but is it weird to be apoplectic with rage inside about such things as?:

Grown adults using the term "simples"?

Ditto "Snowflake"?

Haribo adverts where adults are dubbed as babies?

That kid that keep harping on in a simpering voice about how long Daddy is taking with the washing up bottle?

Young people (DD included) saying "like" every third word in a sentence?

People taking pads and pens to the most brief meetings at work?

Same people asking a thousand irrelevant questions when everyone just wants to go home?

Having a brief comment about old people annoying me deleted from MN when all around people are calling each other "see you next Tuesdays?"

Women on adverts having multiple orgasms about air freshener?

People checking sheafs of lottery tickets at the local shop during the lunch hour. Or ever, actually?

Any train station outside of London not having a self-service ticket machine?

People thinking their birthday should be some kind of national holiday?

People in front of you staring at the ATM like they just landed on Mars?

People turnng up at your castle house unnanounced?

Constant references to "Brexit" - or the DM in general?

Stupid new buzzwords like 'babymoon' and 'throwback snap (i.e a photo taken a week ago).

Plastic chairs.

Breastfeeding Nazis (and I breastfed).

Prams with the kid's name emblazoned on the quilt and hinges.

Asda changing the tinned mixed-bean recipe to cut out all sugar/flavour?

Lorraine Kelly?

Idiots always winning the National Lottery?

Ok, all irrational and I know I'll be flamed off here but that felt SO GOOD.

Oh I love a bit of gossip

Those that won't edge out of a side road and wait for ages until someone lets them out

People who have those massive big cars and struggle to drive and park them they should be banned in big cities or have very very high road tax that will stop so many people buying them it's simply not necessary they will become unfashionable again one day hopefully soon as they did before

"Bertrand often pops up on threads to tell mere mortals what we're doing wrong."

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Mind you, that was a rather strange attempt at a put down, considering the nature of the thread...........

It wasn't a put down, Bert, just a factual statement. Do you drive your family mad?

morning I won a grand on the postcode lottery last year ;)

hashtags-can't stand hashtags and can't stand it when people describe their day/party/holiday with a hundred different words, all with hashtags in front of them!

things being "curated" WTF..
sniffing
hiccups
cyclists (that one will get me flamed)
spoilt brat bastarding children with ineffectual parents
selfies
a person i know who puts on FB about "having a cheeky wee fizz". oh fuck off!

"It wasn't a put down, Bert, just a factual statement. Do you drive your family mad?"

No. They don't like the word Nazi being diluted either.

Yes fuck off with the cheeky or naughty drink/cake whatever it is you are having just have it and if being greedy own up to it

Posters on here who say, "Am I the only one who ...?" about something really obvious.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

No. They don't like the word Nazi being diluted either

Bet you wear each other out with your competitive worthiness!

I do like you on the anti-grammar school threads and agree with you though I don't practise what you preach

"Bet you wear each other out with your competitive worthiness!"

Nope. We're just people who care abut stuff. We like it that way.

"I was sat...."

You were SITTING.

All the other drivers on the roads. All of them. I carry an imaginary flamethrower, and deploy it constantly.

The owners of the local shop, which happens to be right opposite my studio. Who have now bought some dinky portable bollards, connected by a chain, to make sure nobody parks in their parking spaces (even for 5 minutes, with sleeping children in the car, to run and grab some paint) when the shop is closed. I have sworn a secret vow never to buy any of their overpriced foodstuffs again (secret because I will probably break it).

I'm loving these! Totally agree with the one about grown adults going for a "cheeky" pint or a "cheeky" round of golf because "it would be rude not to". Well it's rude of me but FUCK RIGHT OFF!

And WhatALoadOfOldBollocks Fuck off and take your trowled-on make-up face and your "botanical" products with you, you beauty industry brain-washed vacuous bint.

Am crying

Oh so many:

The dropping of the word 'to' in sentences ('I went Mcdonalds')

Cyclists who are in a massive group and cycle behind each other.

People going OTT over food (it really is just a doughnut - a nice one, true, but its not a discovery akin to the Turin shroud)

The negativity on here and the frequency of the phrase 'I wouldnt go/glad I wasn't invited' when someone is discussing an event - rude and unnecessary.

The infantalisation of anyone under 30.

The fact that I have never tried a Cabana bar.

Oh and 'little man' makes me cringe. And signs that say things like 'as far as anyone k ows we are a nice formal fmaily'. 9 times out of 10 you are a nice, normal family - dont be try hard, it's embarrassing.

AyeAyeFishyPie. I go mad over food! I even take doggy bags home from restaurants. I've also been known to (whispers) post pictures of my food to FB

"Amazeballs". "Drinks with this one". "Feeling blessed" followed by angel emoji. That advert with Proud Mary dubbed over the kid. When people comment on FB animal rescue posts "Aw [tags family member] looks like our Tinkerbell". No one gives a frig what your tinkerbell looks like, are you giving the poor neglected creature a home or not?!?

People saying 'perfect' to every bloody thing.

strawberry i will accept the doggy bags as good sense!

Oh where to start? SO many things piss me off these days, probably because I'm a menapausal woman-on-the-edge....

People starting their sentances with "So"
Lack of manners - From not saying thank you when someone opens a door for you/lets you go first into a shop/bank whatever.
Contouring and most 'trendy' make-up application techniques (was in Boots the other day and say a photo of a girl next to a make-up display who not only didn't look human, but looked (facially) like a blow up doll!
Misogeny
Trump - the utter apology of a human being
People who voted for Trump and still like him
The way cash is plopped into your hand in shops, notes, coins in a heap.
Reality tv and people 'on a journey' in talent shows
Entitlement
Lack of kindness
Christ, I really am a miserable old trout - better stop now!

What's a Cabana bar AyeAye ?

Ooh cabana bar! If I remember rightly it was topic-esque but had coconut and chopped fruit in it.

Shoes these are for you {flowers] xx

That sounds incredible Happydoingitjustheonce !

She indicated a space with her arms and said, "My husband is here." He wasn't she was just saving a space for him. I said, "Is he" and started to laugh. She got so annoyed and I carried on laughing. She got very indignant and stormed off

All the stuff in this thread has always annoyed me, I've never been a very tolerant person but strangely enough now I'm 50 I'm finding I really don't care that much anymore, except for the people walking 4 abreast and blocking the whole pavement, I will just stop in the middle of the pavement and make them fuckers walk around me
