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.

People who say "at this moment in time". It's NOW!! NOW!!

Cup of Chino instead of Cappuccino.

Aged women with long flowing hair. Just no!

Men with Alice bands in their hair.

Pointy shoes on anyone.

Skinny jeans on men. Especially when they stuff things inside the pockets and it all looks stupid.

Hipster beard. Looks like long pubic hair on your face.

Unless you pronounce wars to rhyme with jars?!

No, the different pronunciation comes at the end of the word. Awe is not the same as wars. The ‘awe’ sound is the same for each word but there is an R at the end of drawers which means it rhymes with wars.

The jar/ war thing is silly, that would be changing the A sound, when it’s the end of the word people seem to struggle with

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 18/10/2017 22:39

Jojo bows and fidget spinners everywhere.

Hoards of teenagers walking to school in the rain with not a single coat between them. Mine will not wear a coat.

flingingmelon - if the child is sleeping then the parent who is shopping won't be taking them out of the car so they don't need a parent and child space . The whole point of them is to provide extra room so you can easily get your child in/out of the car.

MissLead then don't stack their empty trays so the exit conveyer backs up to the X-ray machine and your bag can't exit until you have stacked 20 trays that the idle fuckers have walked off and left...
4.30am I was at the bloody airport this morning, if I didn't feel like a particularly sluggish zombie at that time in the morning, I'd have battered them to death with my plastic bag of fluids in 100ml or less containers...
Conga Heman ? I don't think this lot had the mental and physical coordination required for that!

dietcokeandwine · 18/10/2017 22:41

Basic grammar and spelling issues. (Could/would/should of, your doing well, I brought a new bag etc etc). Write properly! Unless you have learning difficulties or SEN, you have no excuse.

The word 'packed' or 'packing' used to describe something

for example 'packed with goodness' 'packed with nutrition' 'packed with whole grains and home griddled shiny radishes' or whatever the fuck some people write on Facebook to describe their fabulous bloody irritating recipes.

'Packing on the PDA' (trashy magazine speak)

'Packing a punch' (crappy sky 1 advert currently playing on the radio)

No.

Just no.

These phrases should be banned. They enrage me.

NotSoEagerBeaver · 18/10/2017 22:41

Men with long fingernails.

Polly1308 · 18/10/2017 22:42

Definitely being spelt definAtely. I’m a teacher and DRILL this into my kids. Grin

Migraleve · 18/10/2017 22:43

People who stand really close behind you in a shop queue. Do these people really think they will get served quicker if they breath down the person In fronts neck Envy

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 18/10/2017 22:44

People who say Hun, babes, darling, sweetie and other puke inducing nicknames to complete strangers.

Oh my god yes. Someone was on about this on Facebook the other day. Couldn’t understand why she’d offended someone. When I explained it to her I inadvertently started a row. Confused

Migraleve · 18/10/2017 22:44

Oh and scottish people that say JAMP instead of JUMPED.

Even worse are the people that try and defend it as local lingo. Nope.

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 18/10/2017 22:45

Lazy fuckers who put the milk back in the fridge with only a dribble left in it rather than deal with rinse and recycle.

Lazy fuckers who leave the toilet roll with only one or two pieces left on it rather than change it.

Performance phonecalls on the train. I don't care about your job, your pay, your boyfriend. I am not impressed. I want to read my book or sleep. Shut up. Just shut up.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 18/10/2017 22:46

A couple on my Fb who both think it is spelled "tiard" not "tired". Maybe it's just me, but it's a word i consider to be basic/easy to spell. Their posts in general make me cringe because of a lot of things already mentioned in previous posts with regard to spelling/grammar etc.
I HATE text talk. Fort instead of thought, fink instead of think, wot not what, sumfin not something etc. I can't have people that type like that on my friends list.

The woman I saw in subway last week who lifted up her 2yo DD, kissed/hugged her and then called her 'my little sexypants'. I wanted to throw my subway melt at her head Envy

yorkshireyummymummy · 18/10/2017 22:49

Holding a knife like a pen

Wearing white shoes after summer

Going to a winter wedding with bare legs

McTufty · 18/10/2017 22:49

People who slow down to a near standstill and then spend 30 seconds crawling round the corner when turning left. It’s almost like they’re trying to cause a rear end shunt.

Mumof41987 · 18/10/2017 22:49

People who say "epic" - fucking idiots

JoesNanny · 18/10/2017 22:50

When people say "I'm going McDonalds later" or "Anyone going Prom this year?"

It's going to!!!!

Oh my god!

Blahblahblahhhhhhh · 18/10/2017 22:54

aged women with flowing hair
Really?
The most stylish lady I ever met had waist long silver hair. She was chic and beautiful despite her being 72.
I also met a Rasta woman with long beautiful silver dreads. Looked fucking cooler than anyone at the festival I was attending.
I think women's hair is indicative of her personality. I'm glad to say at 40 I still have purple locks albeit sholder length due to the job im in.

What makes me scream No ! are judgemental twats who want everyone to look alike. Who the Fuck wants to be a Kardashian? Have uber Brows and dress like a hooker?

I'd rather be me than a sheep

* People who sell clothes on eBay and don't put the measurements in. * **

God yes, same with those who put collection only - but don't think to put in where collection might be near so as to stop the questions (especially those who get irritated when you ask where they are, those who don't reply or don't answer before the auction is over!) Is it really hard to say "collection only - near such a church church/near town centre/near Asda" or wherever!? It'd make things a lot easier and smoother when searching eBay!

Those people who say "I'm wacky/crazy/mental/'psycho'!" or similar. Yeah. Course you are, love.

People who make it their place to comment on peoples appearances or similar as you pass in RL. I just love hearing what you think of my boobs - thanks for that!! Particularly those who go o n and on and on in great detail! (was followed down the street last month for what felt like forever with some bloke being "funny" about what he wanted to do to my chest. Made me feel fantastic... (!!)) Especially when you snap something back and they're "only being funny!" "Only having a laugh!" and make out you're the arsehole for daring to speak out!

Special mention to those who try shame people - what horrific people they really are! Someone trying hard really hard who could even have been fighting to get out of the house as they haven't left it for a few days really wants you to put them in their place person-in-the-street. Well done!

PumbletonWakeshaft · 18/10/2017 22:55

Emotional blackmail Facebook chain letter-style posts. Blah blah blah "I know who'll post here, and who won't". Then fuck off and unfriend me, I couldn't give a shit!

boysarebackintown2 · 18/10/2017 22:58

When someone has on their Facebook page any of the following;

Works at - full time mummy

Education - university of hard knock life

The word banter or 'bants' for short.

Men/women that wear jeans that trail under their shoes and become frayed and dirty.
