I'll start this off:

The mom outside school today who said to her 3-year old: "Move it! Fuckin' hell, why are you so slow!"

Skinny jeans on men.

Once hand luggage is through the scanner - why do people repack off the belt when there are areas 4yds away for just that!!!!

Can’t they see the hold ups they create - grrrrrr

cathy87: *@turquoise88: apostrophes!

Yes Cathy, the aim of my post was to illustrate my point - “when people use appstrophe’s when they dont need to, and miss them out when they do.

Geddit?!

Darn, thought I was being quite smart.

People who park in disabled car-park spaces who don't have a disabled badges (or who do have a disabled badge but are not actually transporting, picking-up or dropping off the disabled passenger at that time) Angry

What did they think we were queuing up for? The conga dance to start Weeds Grin.

OpheIiaBaIIs · 18/10/2017 22:19

See through leggings worn as trousers

And the wearer of said item always, ALWAYS has white pants on

And, if you're especially lucky, a sanitary pad too

TheQueenSnortsAvocados · 18/10/2017 22:22

@turquoise88 I got it!

MadMags · 18/10/2017 22:22

People who say brought instead of bought. "I brought some cake today."

People who say borrow instead of lend. "I borrowed him some money."

People who say he's instead of his. "He's mum is coming to stay."

People with diddy front gardens and enormous cars, who park (badly) on their diddy front gardens, thus blocking the pavement.

And then pull out without checking, nearly running over anyone ON THE SODDING PAVEMENT who is trying to pass.

Arseholes.

CanadaMoose91 · 18/10/2017 22:23

People with pointy or obviously fake nails. Any designs with more than a solid colour is too much!

Women with messy buns on the top of their heads.

Dark drawn on eyebrows.

Neon coloured fake fur lining on coats. Just why?!

turquoise88 · 18/10/2017 22:23

turquoise88 I got it!

Thanks, Queen! Grin

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 18/10/2017 22:23

Drivers who tailgate aggressively when you are doing 30 in a 30 zone.

People who put up notes on the back of their car/van saying things like "9 points, please overtake".

Charity collections where the writing on the tin and their t-shirts is too small to read as you walk past. Or so vague you have no idea what the charity is about, like bringing change to the vulnerable Bonus irritation if they look annoyed at nobody donating to the mystery charity.

Sunderland's football stadium being called The Stadium of Light.

flingingmelon · 18/10/2017 22:26

People who use parent and child parking spaces when they have no children with them or sit in the car with the children whilst their partner shops.

That’s fine if the child is sleeping. Surely?

OpheIiaBaIIs · 18/10/2017 22:26

'Hubby'

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 18/10/2017 22:26

YY to fake nails. All fake nails look cheap and shit.

These enormous sparkly bows that I’m seeing on little girls now. Always really far forward on top of their heads and coupled with a Croydon face lift. Why? Why put such a huge and hideous piece of tat on top of a pretty little face?

RubyFlint · 18/10/2017 22:27

And why has a room become known as a 'space'? "This is a fabulous space blah blah blah." No it's a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, garden, whatever.

Sarahh2014 · 18/10/2017 22:30

Sling back sandals,knee high boots over jeans

Stressalot42 · 18/10/2017 22:30

People who say “turnt”. as in it turnt out that we knew each other!!!

Dippydippydora · 18/10/2017 22:30

See through leggings being worn as trousers
Men with socks and sandals
Noisy or messy eating
People who listen to music on public transport without headphones
People who walk in groups talking up the whole pavement
People who use trolleys or prams as weapons
People who leave tables in cafes in a right state and don't even attempt to clean up while saying "it's their job" (looking at you SIL)
People who are rude to waiting staff (looking at you SIL again)
Dog owners who say "they are only playing" when their huge muddy dog jumps up at you
People who don't pick up after their Dog
People who say "I am not racist or homophobic- but......."

Stressalot42 · 18/10/2017 22:31

People who switch lent and borrow!

I borrowed him a fiver!!!

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 18/10/2017 22:31

Yep agree with so many of these: 'should of done' instead of 'should have done'

The endless use of apostrophes for plurals infuriates me - potatoe's or doughnut's or friend's..... no no no.

Councilling instead of counselling - see it all the time on MN. It's counselling!!!!

And my real bugbear is referring to a group of women (especially that I'm a part of) as 'ladies'. 'Dear Ladies' .....: grrrr ..... how do you know if I'm a lady or not? Actually I'm NOT, and don't ever want to be, a lady ... I'm a woman.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 18/10/2017 22:32

These bows worn on the head this way. Such an ugly accessory!

No no no no no
Sarahh2014 · 18/10/2017 22:32

People saying generally instead of genuinely and Pacific instead of specific it's totally moronic

SirGawain · 18/10/2017 22:36

Stressalot42. Also, 'Can I lend that book'.

Dippydippydora · 18/10/2017 22:37

Oh and one more people who do not have their change ready for the bus. In fact people who are not ready for simple things in public such as
When they are at the front of an Airport security queue with their belts still on and laptop in bags
In the shop about to pay after being in a queue and then spending ages looking for their purse
Being in the front of a queue to get in a theatre and then they block everyone looking for their ticket once they get to the front
Don't even get me started on people who let their kids count out money or use the self service when there is a massive queue Angry
