Men's shorts are bad. The Ines with the million pockets make them look like dweebs

“We was, wasn’t we” instead of “we were weren’t we”- makes my blood boil!
Kids being complete brats and the parent says - “ah some one’s tired,” even when they’ve not long had a nap.

People who say ' my bad'. Just why???
People in call centres who close calls by saying 'is there anything else I can do for yourself '. It's YOU!! Not YOURSELF!! I think they must train these morons in the same school of bad English grammar!
Drunk idiots on public transport who are loud and obnoxious, especially those who have pissed themselves 😝.
Parents swearing at kids in general but in the school playground is a NO NO NO.
For the love of god what is the need to stop in shop doorway as you are exiting the shop?? Or gathering in a supermarket aisle for a mothers meeting?? That shit makes me very ANGRY!!

The woman's voice that comes out of the self-service machines in Sainsbury's

She (and her sisters at Asda, Tesco, etc) all share the same name: Sonia. Because she get sonia nerves.

Oh and people, saying 'movie' instead of film. Why is everyone using American terms all of a sudden?

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!

Oh god yes! Some of these people even like the page for said programme and then comment 'Thanks for the spoilers Angry Halloween Angry Some of us do watch on catch-up you know!!!!!' Dare to suggest that they maybe unlike the page or stay off FB until they've seen it and they've always got some reason why they couldn't possibly - one even said they had a sick child to look after and they couldn't believe I would begrudge them a bit of down time surfing the net. Do they really think TV shows aren't going to promote major events just in case Kayleigh-Anne Braindead of Walthamstow hasn't watched yet?

WoofWoofMooWoof · 20/10/2017 00:00

People who cut in front of you in traffic, ie out of a driveway, especially when there's nobody behind you as far as the eye can see, and then slow down to an absolute crawl so you're stuck behind them. Pisses me right off.

Or people who won't move when you indicate to them that you're letting them into traffic. You sit there like an idiot waiting for them to take the chance you're so kindly offering them, they don't take it, and then people behind you get pissed off with you for holding up traffic. Grrrrr.

Acronyms why when we have perfectly good words even more annoying when in meetings/training with people who work in a different area of expertise who use them and some of you sit there wondering what the hell xyz means. Why am I the only one who asks what they mean for half the others in the room to says "thanks smiling we didn't understand those acronyms either"!!!
Sliders -crappy furry flip flop shoes currently the on trend footwear.
Spitting in the street
Smokers/vapers who share their fumes (I have restricted lung capacity breathing in plumes of vaping fig does not help)
Dog owners who don't pick up gives other dog owners a bad name
Parents who let their offspring run riot in shops
Kids who scream for no apparent reason (especially when you are about to take a sip of your hot drink)
Bridezilla (close to home)
Paying a fortune for cockerpoos/labradoodles when they are mutts and there are hundreds of mutts in rescues needing homes.
People who don't say thank you when you hold doors open.
Drivers who don't acknowledge when you let them in/through I am known to shout "thank you" out loud in my car even when travelling alone.
Consultants that cancel your appointment 2 days before then boom your next one 5 months later having kept you waiting 12 month's already.

Use of the word 'product' as generic term for hair styling creams etc.

Swearing in front of children disgusts me!!!!

CoughLaughFart · 20/10/2017 01:04

Use of the word 'product' as generic term for hair styling creams etc.

It just sounds so functional and uninspiring doesn't it? Whenever I'm sat in a salon chair and am asked 'Do you want any product in your hair, I feel like saying 'It depends on the product. If it's Mr Sheen, they no.
