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.

*Oh and scottish people that say JAMP instead of JUMPED.

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

In Newcastle (some) people insist that the past tense of 'treat' is 'trett', as in "I trett mesel to a cheese stottie".

If you try to tell them they're wrong they insist you're a soft southerner with plums in ya mooth.

people who go out in onesies/pjs

PumbletonWakeshaft you just beat me to it. My real friends will share this... No I won't because I don't go with emotional blackmail but that doesn't make me a bad friend.

aged women with flowing hair

Was on the bus and there was a young woman/teenager waiting to get off. She had the most beautiful wavy waist length hair. Then she turned around and she was clearly in her fifties. Her hair was beautiful and I am glad she hasn't cut it off (I saw her again yesterday)

Unnecessary instructions on food packaging. E.g. Sainsbury's bag of potatoes "Great for family meals"; Sainsbury's risotto rice " great for risottos"
WTF else am I going to do with a bag of spuds or a packet of arborio rice ????

GallicosCats · 18/10/2017 23:07

temperature has all kinds of letters in it that you are ignoring when you say 'temp-a-ture'.

Or 'temm-ri-chure'.

@OpheIiaBaIIs 'tret' is also in Yorkshire.

PumbletonWakeshaft · 18/10/2017 23:10

And on the subject of Facebook. Telling your other half you love them on Facebook instead of in person is just fucked up.

I have noticed recently, a growing trend of people 'curating' their pictures of their families through Instagram. They use filters, and 'arty' black and white shots and have their own hashtags. It's all so bloody narcissistic. Like their life is a glossy advert, when we know it's as full of arguments, money worries, skin blemishes and random mishaps as the rest of us. People's online personas are getting further and further removed from their real selves. Does my bloody head in!

kaykay72 · 18/10/2017 23:15

Eyebrows with corners.

Noisy eaters.

People who go down ‘red cross’ lanes then force their way in on the cones.

Black and navy worn together.

Noisy eaters.

newestbridearound · 18/10/2017 23:16

Glittery shite on facebook. Especially when put into a ridiculous overpriced hamper.

The words 'holibobs' and 'feeling blessed'

Food served on boards, in baskets, in a pot or on a slate- basically anything but a bloody plate!

Cutting nails on the train Envy (not envy)

SemiNormal · 18/10/2017 23:17

Eyebrows with corners never heard them described like that before! Grin

Ethylred · 18/10/2017 23:22

People who write "would of" or "definately".

Especially definately. Even the spellcheck knows it's wrong.

whitehorsesdonotlie · 18/10/2017 23:27

People who say "draw-ers". It's written that way, but it's pronounced "draws"!

Um. NO. It REALLY isn't.

RunYouJuiceBitch · 18/10/2017 23:27

People saying 'draws' instead of drawers.
Adults who use the word 'Dude'.
People who say latte with a long a.
People who say 'lol' or 'soz' in real life.
Using your teeth to take the food off your fork.
People who say 'awesome'.
Periods.
Cats.
People who sit with the indicator on in the hope of being let out, rather than to INDICATE that they are moving out.
Strangers calling me love/sweetheart/darling.

I do all of these things. I'm unbearable!

I only say 'lol' and 'soz' as a piss-take though.

RunYouJuiceBitch · 18/10/2017 23:28

I get annoyed by people who refer to Lyme disease as 'Lyme's' disease.

Lilmisskittykat · 18/10/2017 23:32

The phrase ‘smashed it’ - no you just went to gym you did not smash it in anyway

Duck face photos and over filled lips, stupid drawn on eyebrows and contouring - all just looks so ridiculous and fake

Cyclists that go along roads especially country lanes two abreast usually chatting

People who stop dead in your path to read their phones

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 18/10/2017 23:32

Inappropriate profile pictures on LinkedIn: sexy pouty poses in clothes you wouldn't wear in court; blurry photos of them on a night out holding a drink; wedding photos (wtf!). I am not feeling inclined towards bringing you in for interview.

Photos of a person's children as their own profile picture on FB.

Mates wanting to link to you on LinkedIn. You are lovely Linda and we are friends but you are not part of my professional network. Facebook is where we connect not LinkedIn. Same for you auntie Marie. all names have been changed to protect the guilty

lololove · 18/10/2017 23:33

Forgot pyramid selling like Forever Living and all the crappy similar companies.

"I'll PM you hun!" = it costs a thousand pounds and your first born for a tiny little pot.

"I love working from home, it enables me to write passive aggressive posts about why my life is better than yours and how I can work at home and earn more than you!"

"... I love my job. Here's a copy/pasted post about how great my life is with a few certain phrases in to show just how great this company that you need to work 36 hours each day for just £1 return. If you're lucky."

"I love my job. I'm a better mum than you because I get to work from home and spend more time with my perfect children unlike you you awful working mother!"

"Let me message you, you person who I barely know through a few other people, and be really pushy about why you should buy my product/use my samples/pamper yourself with some of my range that you can do for FREE!!! [as long as you buy £567876 things afterwards!]"

It is a horrible horrible way to "work" relying on you making friends feel awkward enough to buy things they can't afford or signing those who are vulnerable up to make them believe they can do the same without realising how hard it really is... and of course signing up your family/ friends means the pot to earn anything really tends to get smaller and/or you start to lose family/friends as they get so annoyed of the hard sell!

Valeriemalorie · 18/10/2017 23:37

Draws, drawers, claws are all the same.
Mayor and Mare, also the same.

Off of as in ‘that’s the woman off of the tv’
Everythink
Holibobs
Hubster
Dustbins with ashtray tops stinking outside supermarkets

Sketchily · 18/10/2017 23:41

People who say 'not a problem' in answer to a simple request
People who use their knives as forks
People who 'buy' things on online marketplaces and then you never hear from them again
People who drive really fast towards you when you're manoeuvring rather than just waiting until you've finished
People on mn who project their own issues onto the OP's situation
YY to people who stand too close behind you in supermarkets. You're creepy.
People who squeal really loudly when they're excited about something that's really not very significant
People who think their need is invariably more important than yours so overrun at school parents' evenings; walk in lines of three so you have to walk into the road to get past; block doorways so they can chat to their mate.

Hogtini · 18/10/2017 23:45

People who use gawjus instead of gorgeous!

ferrier · 18/10/2017 23:47

Drawers rhymes with wars
Draws rhymes with claws
