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 people constantly sniffing instead of blowing their nose!! 😳

mrsharrison · 19/10/2017 20:24

That Pukka pie advert currently on TV.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 19/10/2017 20:24

Jwrecks I'm crying!! I might try and instate using 'come out out with i' just to fuck with my work colleague Grin

The woman's voice that comes out of the self-service machines in Sainsbury's. I have never in my life heard a more patronising and self-satisfied delivery. She enrages me every time I go there. She speaks so slooooooooowly and clearly, and you just know if you could see her she'd have her head tilted to one side and an exaggerated expression of concern on her perfect features. We're all thick to her. ''Please enter your PIN ... or choose another way to pay.' I'm not 3 years old! I know what to do!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 19/10/2017 20:26

Can I get is fucking rude at the very least

WoofWoofMooWoof · 19/10/2017 20:28

I don't even know what 'bae' means.

It means girlfriend/boyfriend nightsky. Horribly, ridiculous term.

Is bae an acronym?

Gingernaut · 19/10/2017 20:28

Before Anyone Else.

I’m a sniffer Blush I feel really bad about it. My nose is always runnng at the moment but if I blow it, even gently, it will bleed for ages, which I think is probably more off putting than sniffing? I have actually spent quite a bit of time debating it with myself

AnnoyedinJanuary · 19/10/2017 20:29

People who say floor when it should be ground - drives me nuts!

Flyinggeese · 19/10/2017 20:32

Queenofthedrivensnow completely agree. I cringe particularly when I hear someone say it to a person of the older generation working in a shop or cafe. I understand some younger people have almost grown up with it but it sounds horrendously rude of you haven't. Not only that but it has connotations of that sheep mentality of just copying what's heard on TV or YouTube.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 19/10/2017 20:33

3out very glad to see your post. A few years ago everyone suddenly seemed to be “excited for” instead of “excited about”. I was quite confused. People also say “excited to”. To be honest I now try to avoid saying I’m excited at all.

Ragwort · 19/10/2017 20:33

People at their graduation ceremony wearing totally inappropriate clothes and shoes - and finding it hard to stand up Grin - guess where I was today?

Also, and sorry but this applies to mumsnetters, any reference to snuggles, family time, elves on shelves and hot chocolate - usually in connection with Christmas Eve. Nobody in RL talks such nonsense.

Pastorkidneys · 19/10/2017 20:33

People who wear heals with no tips on my fucking oak floors Angry

Pastorkidneys · 19/10/2017 20:35

Teenage trick or treaters after 7.30 pm, fack off!

Pastorkidneys · 19/10/2017 20:37

Carol singers!

Kevintheminion · 19/10/2017 20:40

The list is long....

Using "your" instead of "you're" (as in yes you're being unreasonable...)

People who don't use apostrophes. Or worse, those who use them incorrectly.

People who say renumeration rather than remuneration....

High definition eyebrows on men (Yes really) as observed on an Easyjet flight attendant this week....

intimeandspace · 19/10/2017 20:41

Oh yes- "can I GET" . Drives me fucking insane.

EverythingRightNow · 19/10/2017 20:42

Sponges just yuk yuk yuk

sara4 · 19/10/2017 20:47

Saying "ah bless" in response to EVERYTHING.

TwoDogs9 · 19/10/2017 20:48

“Hun” Angry
People who chomp their teeth together really loudly when they eat - even when it’s bloody soup or a yoghurt Hmm
People saying choritzo

ilovecardigans · 19/10/2017 20:53

Hairdressers who lop off at least twice the amount you asked them to.

I hate my hair right now. Sad

TwoDogs9 · 19/10/2017 20:59

To me wars rhymes with claws

Me too!! Halloween Confused

Tentomidnight · 19/10/2017 20:59

People who refer to their son as 'my little man' or 'my little prince' puke

People who don't use their car indicators I am not a fucking mind reader

People calling a packed lunch a bloody 'packup' wtf?

So, so many things Angry

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/10/2017 21:00

ilovecardigans, sympathy. That is worse than my last visit to the hairdresser, where I asked for a quite a lot off but only lost about a centimetre. I was too British to query it, but I won't be going back, and I certainly won't be using the card they gave me to refer all my friends and neighbours. Ha!

'Can I get ...' is dreadful, absolutely dreadful. 'Please may I have ...' was drilled into me. I thought 'Can I have ...' was bad until recently.
