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 draw-ers when it's draws.

Slither instead of sliver.

On Route.

On point instead of en pointe.

Haitch.

People who get annoyed at those who discuss a TV program that has just been on because they don't want spoilers. Watch the fucking program then, or avoid social media!

Contouring, drawn on brows, Superdry, alcohol, smoking, vaping, people who don't say please or thank you, so many other things.

Ooogetyooo · 19/10/2017 18:27

People who say "Here's the thing..."

ProfessorCat · 19/10/2017 18:27

That 'disgusting' e-cigarette smoke is literally just steam- no toxins or 'smoke'

It's still been inside someone's rank mouth. Gross.

Able bodied people sitting in priority seating on buses and not getting up instantly when someone who really needs the seat gets on. Usually because they're engrossed in their phone, or pretending to be.

People who dump their bag on the seat beside them on the bus and even when the bus is obviously full, have to be asked to move it to let someone else sit down. Usually also engrossed in their phone, or pretending to be.

Discrete when they mean discreet.

Disinterested when they mean uninterested.
Look them up! You don't even need to buy or borrow a dictionary nowadays - it's all online.

Brits saying, 'Do the math!'

Brits saying 'pissed' when they mean 'pissed OFF'.

WoollyMollyMonkey · 19/10/2017 18:31

People who say 'like' after every couple of words. (What it is, like, is this, like, she went in there and was, like ..... etc)

Calling people dude aarrrggh! And calling baby boys 'little man' really gets my goat!

Oh and sniffers - get a bloody hanky!

The mother asking her (should have been in school's) opinion on which things to buy thing from the vape stall in the shopping centre the other day...

To be fair, lots of disabilities aren't visible so you've no way of knowing if a person is able bodied or not. I have RA and you wouldn't necessarily know there was anything wrong with me (unless it was a particularly bad flare day and I had my walking stick/was stuck at home unable to get out of bed). Even on 'ordinary' days I'd be unable to stand for a bus journey of more than a few minutes without being in considerable pain. I've been told off for using the disabled seats before - a quick flash of my disabled bus pass usually does the trick Grin

MeT00 · 19/10/2017 18:37

I can't understand why people think drawers sounds like draws.

Restaurant staff or bar staff calling us "guys" Don't know what I'd like to be called but NOT GUYS.

wrenika · 19/10/2017 18:41

People who can't leave the house without their makeup on.

The phrase "I think not..."

White jeans.

Fake tan in the depths of Scottish winter!

Handbag dogs.

Leggings as trousers, especially when they're bursting at the seams.

People who think that being a SAHM is the equivalent of having a job.

Parmesanity · 19/10/2017 18:43

She 'text' me. Nope. It didn't happen. She may have texted you, but nothing less.

OpheIiaBaIIs · 19/10/2017 18:43

People abbreviating Christmas to Crimble or Xmas

'Xmas' is perfectly legitimate - the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, which in English is 'Christ'

Have we had isle instead of aisle? I have a friend who's always on Facebook talking about looking for bargains in the isles of Asda. I keep meaning to ask her if they're near the Hebrides.

OstentatiousWanking · 19/10/2017 18:44

People who put three items on the check out. Then poodle off around the shop to casually finish their shopping, coming back with a basket full of food.
Gives me the rage.

OpheIiaBaIIs · 19/10/2017 18:44

'Crimble' can go die in a hole though btw

LaurieF · 19/10/2017 18:51

Men wearing loafers with no socks... ewwwwwww

DagenhamRoundhouse · 19/10/2017 18:58

People who start every sentence with "So"

Road signs that say "Advanced Warning" - it's ADVANCE!

abbey44 · 19/10/2017 18:59

'Xmas' is perfectly legitimate - the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, which in English is 'Christ'

I know you're right on this, it just sounds wrong in speech - exmas. Why not say Christmas?

Anyway...

People who stop their shopping trolley in the middle of a supermarket aisle while they carefully peruse the shelves, seemingly unaware that they're blocking anyone else from passing them. Just pull it out of the way, for heaven's sake.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 19/10/2017 19:07

People who half park on the pavement but don't leave room for buggies or wheelchairs forcing you into your own busy road with small children in tow to go round their car parked right outside your house!

Try getting around them on crutches! With small children in tow.

Supply-side economics.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 19/10/2017 19:25

Mothers on the bus who are so superglued to their bloody phones, that they let their 'D'C run riot, scream and shout, and don't even glance in their direction or do anything to reign the little brats darlings in.

People who say 'pound' for 'pounds' i.e. 5 pound instead of 5 pounds.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 19/10/2017 19:39

Man buns.

The zombie make up look when they over do the highlighter

Cheap leggings

People who spend their Saturdays shopping in malls with their kids like it's an activity. In summer

AllieBomBally · 19/10/2017 19:40

That PPI advert with the bad Arnold Schwarzenegger head thing, do we really have to put up with that for another year??
