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 Brexit.

When people say 'he's' instead of 'his' and visa verca. Seems to be common on the Facebook mum's groups I'm part of. I'll admit mainly because I find the posts so funny but maybe I should leave 🤔

When people add an 's' on to the end of the names of supermarkets, cafes and shops, e.g. Asdas, Costas, Tescos. NO!!!

Toddler's having a tantrum- 'Someone's not happy day'. No sh*t Sherlock.

Also going to car parks in an unfamiliar area that only take coins. Then going on a mission to look for a cash point, angry toddler in row.

Thanks Gasp0de. I'm very, very short sighted and have to take my glasses off when I get my hair cut, so I honestly couldn't see how much hair was coming off. When they went on at the end I could have cried.

Oh well, at least it'll grow and I won't need to visit the hairdresser again for at least another year...

alltalknobaby · 19/10/2017 21:08

"Shabby chic". Whoever invented that one deserves bad things. Why did you ruin a perfectly acceptable chest of drawers (pronunciation tbc) and why are you now trying to charge eye wateringly large amounts of money for it? WHYYYYYYYYYYY???

Filling in a form that asks what country you are from and your only option is to select the United Kingdom - it’s not a flaming country! Also people who say it’s a ‘British thing’. English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh people are so VERY different and we are all fiercely proud of who we are and where we are from. We are 4 different countries with different flags, cultures, food and language amongst other things

Can I 'get' for may I have

Going up at the end of every sentence as though it's a question

Pastorkidneys · 19/10/2017 21:21

Man cave! Bollocks!

PersonAtHome · 19/10/2017 21:21

Non athletes riding bikes in head to toe lycra (why?).

People who don't indicate at roundabouts.

People who say expresso or choritzo.

Using 'on the weekend' instead of 'at the weekend'.

DillyDally15 · 19/10/2017 21:25

'I can't even'... WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!😡

TinselTwins · 19/10/2017 21:27

People who get pissy if you don't reply to their text/email/message INSTANTLY as if it's a real time face to face conversation and I don't have anything to do other than check my phone!

Pastorkidneys · 19/10/2017 21:30

@ilovecardigans if you wear makeup, ramp up your eyes, will take the emphasis off your fringe.

Bangs for fringe! There’s another one, grrr

I like a cheeky wee vino with the girlies of a weekend. Love my chicks!

"the tickets were given to Johan and I."

Take off 'Johan and' it's supposed to be
"the tickets were given to ME", not I.

Fluffy beards.

JWrecks · 19/10/2017 21:32

@BuzzKillington Hahaha, that's so funny! The exact opposite!

Though honestly the ones that just look like massively baggy capris, that fall halfway down the shin, are atrocious! WHAT ARE THESE??

I'd prefer shorts to juuuuuust cover the knee. And I honestly don't have a clue why it bothers me so! It just does!

TinselTwins · 19/10/2017 21:33

People who say if vape/ecig fug "it's just water vapour!"
No it's not!
Water vapour has no smell
Water vapour has no taste
Water vapour doesn't catch you at the back of your throat!

Person: lycra bike riders whose backend lycra is too thin....dd and i STILL cringe after following that down the road

TinselTwins · 19/10/2017 21:35

Hipsters and everything they hold dear

DiscoDiva70 · 19/10/2017 21:40

People who stand next to you in a queue and cough, sneeze and splutter over you without covering their noses and mouths.

ilovecardigans · 19/10/2017 21:43

Thanks Pastor, but I think a bag (or a hat) may be the only way forward for the next few months. Wail!

Steaksauce · 19/10/2017 21:46

When people say PIN number. What do you think the N stands for?

When people type “women” when they mean “woman”. As in “that women went into the shop” that’s the PLURAL! You want the SINGULAR

When people talk about babies but use the word “baby” in place of its name “you could put baby in the car”
Do you mean “you could put THE baby in the car”?

ProfessorCat · 19/10/2017 21:47

Entitled English people who say they are Northern /Southern because they are the only country in the world and Wales/Scotland/anywhere else couldn't possible have a North and a South.

Those inane pictures on Facebook that say things like, "Girls who have too many shoes" or, "Men who are the best husbands" with a list of generic female or male names underneath. Even worse, the people who share them and tag their friends with generic names in the comments.

thecakefairy · 19/10/2017 21:47

Adults who ride BMX, skateboards or those silver scooters.

WoollyMollyMonkey · 19/10/2017 21:50

These new KFC adverts are getting on my nerves, the woman can't pronounce her words properly! 'Bri-ish' Really?! [Major eyeroll]
And anyone else who misses out the middle of words too!
