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.

Drivers who do not use their indicators when turning into a side road with pedestrians waiting to cross
Able-bodied people who sit in the disability-priority bus seats when the rest of the bus is empty
People who walk four abreast on the pavement and block it completely
People who shop at supermarkets while on the phone ... because partner is guiding them round and telling them what to buy. Make a list!

People who give advice on things they know nothing about (pregnancy and birth when they’ve neither been pregnant nor given birth)

All this draws and drawers stuff! If your from south east England and probably other places you tend not to pronounce "r" sounds at the end of words. It's just an accent thing. I'm Scottish and do pronounce it. Not with the agro though!

British people talking about British people being oh so polite. If they actually thought it was self evident that British people are polite why do they then have to talk so much about it? I don't mention in every second sentence, that I am female. If I did, people would think I was transgender. And FYI: people who are not British do not consider British people to be polite. Or not to be blunt "like foreigners are". Saying "how are you?" before you say a blunt thing does not make the blunt thing you are saying less blunt.

People who talk about their dogs as furbabies or little girls and boys, and "crossing the rainbow bridge."

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:50

Chester draws ... what?!

Men in Uggs

Blue mascara

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:52

Omg and yes the insta-brows.
I’m 22 so just missed the massive brow plague ... managed to miss the one hair thin eyebrows of the 00s though.

The lucky 4 year window.

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:54

Ooh ... ready for it?

Discusting —-that is not a fucking word

SinisterBumFacedCat · 19/10/2017 10:55

Anyone who uses the phrases "mansplaining" or "feminazi"

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:57

Oh and typing ‘we was’ instead of ‘ we were’ and any variation on that.

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:57

@Migraleve in my accent draws and wars have the same ending ...

LemonysSnicket · 19/10/2017 10:59

Draws claws and ears all sound the damn same!

PressPaws · 19/10/2017 11:06

People who tell a long story on social media with the supposed objective of passing on wisdom when actually they're wanting praise for something they did, such as: "I spoke to a homeless person for 4 hours and gave them my shoes and they talked about the war and I learnt so much and we should all give our shoes away and listen to people so we can be better humans."

Also, unrelated, the word 'panties'.

Comedyboobs · 19/10/2017 11:10

Draws, claws & ears?!

withlotsoflove · 19/10/2017 11:13

People who bark orders at me ( customer services) but see no reason whatsoever to keep in top of their oral hygiene or floss their teeth!
So many people have halitosis and must honestly have no idea? Confused

StarsAndStripes18 · 19/10/2017 11:13

Men (it’s always men) that play with loose change in their trouser pocket.. it drives me barmy!

‘Text speak’ on FB and in texts. One friend is always doing it:
Da = The
Dis = This
Dey = They
Fone = Phone
Gud = Good
Neva = Never
There are lots more but I can’t translate them Confused

People that ‘stir up’ on FB with sarky comments to start a row.

Faithless · 19/10/2017 11:13

People who are "blessed". Talking like a TV evangelist does not hide the fact you are just showing off.

Husbands congratulating their wives for losing weight on social media in "supportive" ways (well, one in particular). There was nothing wrong with her in the in the first place and I'm humiliated on behalf of my friend.

Apostrophe’s on everything when you dont need them, and missing when you do

Ironic. Grin

namechangeforthisasouting · 19/10/2017 11:24

The word croissant. However you say it even the correct way makes me flinch. It only sounds good when a French person says it.
People that say MY BAD
The group of teenagers swearing next to my 3 yo dd yesterday.
My mil telling me I constantly look ill or pale or tired. Wish she would just say I looked like a bag of shite and have done with it.

LucieLucie · 19/10/2017 11:28

The loss of British grammar, of=off, their=there etc and people shaming the correctors rather than actually learning to spell.

Similarly, selling a “Chester Draws” is a fucking embarrassment and I would not buy them based on the moron selling them. Regardless of your accent, spelling shouldn’t change.
Chest of drawers is not difficult to write or say! Draw-ers = 2 syllables Draws = 1 syllable Hmm

People who post woe is me type Facebook updates constantly

People who feed their young kids /babies coke and junk food

People who smoke and plead poverty

People who spit Envy

People who come and park next to me in an empty car park - piss off!! Glares

People. Grin

Pacific instead of specific.

Migraleve · 19/10/2017 11:32

in my accent draws and wars have the same ending ...

Ok, i have taken the accent point, however drawers is speaker drawer no matter what anyone’s accent is. I think when the draws/drawers thing came up it was because people write draws more then because of the accents. So many people talk about draws, I mean even though your accents says draws, surely if you were selling some you would say ‘bright blue sparkly drawers for sale’
