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.

Rude cats who don't even bother to glance in your direction when you make the 'hello there, kitty' noise in greeting to them.

Who the fuck do they think they are??

EasilyDistracted77 · 22/10/2017 20:55

People who hold loud conversations specifically for others to overhear. There was a woman on the bus doing this the other day when talking to her daughter and it really really wound me up. I don't want to listen, but I have no choice: I'm stuck on the bus with you with no way to tune you out!

TroysMammy · 22/10/2017 22:36

People who say okie dokie numerous times during a telephone conversation in work. It's not professional and sounds sloppy.

whyamievenamazeddotcom · 22/10/2017 23:06

people who stop dead in front of or just through the ticket barriers and sort their bag out ....

People using technology EVERYWHERE to entertain their children. It’s bad enough in a restaurant but i actually seen in in a (child friendly) theatre show the other week! It’s just crazy. All these poor children are going to be growing up with the attention span of a gnat.

Ps draws/drawers/claws/wars all rhyme for me in Geordie land. Slight different in the end of drawers but not said as it’s spelled.

whyamievenamazeddotcom · 23/10/2017 00:13

this is making me chuckle so much ...

people that say "I'll call you on the moby", "I'm going mackie dees" I'm getting a costa" or " I had a nando's" ???? just why ????

other annoying phrases "so basically" "at the end of the day" self entitled people who talk on the phone while being served in shops; not only is it rude and ignorant but it creates delays as you are only packing with one hand!!!!!

OneOfTheGrundys · 23/10/2017 07:06

Pointless technology.
I have this at work. Write it on paper = fine.

I would like to second the post further down about self-diagnosed food intolerances. So incredibly attention seeking. I have known so many people who 'can't eat' gluten or dairy, but have conveniently forgotten this when it suits them Angry

ProfessorCat · 23/10/2017 15:24

Why is it so unbelievable that people have intolerances but not allergies?

I'm intolerant to gluten and dairy. I have IBD which flares up with things like stress and hormonal fluctuations.

There are times when I can eat gluten and dairy with slight or no problems whatsoever.

There are other times where if I touch either, I'm laid up for days with chronic pain, acid, vomiting and diarrhoea.

It depends on how I am as to whether I can eat either. Sometimes I have to choose a gluten free option. Sometimes I don't.

What I hate, is people that judge others for what they choose to put in their body. Why judge when it doesn't directly have an impact on your life? If I choose to enjoy cake when I can, and it pisses someone off that I'm eating gluten when last week I couldn't, tough titties.

This afternoon on the bus - three little girls aged probably between 3 and 6, screaming, shouting and singing at the tops of their voices. They were also eating chocolates and just throwing the wrappers all over the bus floor. All while sitting in the 'disabled' seats at the front, while everyone with sticks and crutches, myself included, had to hobble to the back of the bus. The two mothers were so busy chatting to each other that they completely ignored their screaming little brats.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

Drivers who show no respect for a funeral procession i.e. overtake at speed, two funeral cars going slowly from the deceased person's home whilst neighbours show their respects. So angry when stupid, selfish driver did this today.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 23/10/2017 21:14

People who 'double bite' sandwiches, taking two small bites rather than one large one. The second bite is usually a very wet, whiskery sound. Completely unnecessary.

PandorasXbox · 23/10/2017 21:16

Grin that made me laugh 1983. I was trying to imagine it and actually said ewwww!

Croaky American television women

Rain

Gallstones (please Mrs or Mr Surgeon, take my gall bladder out before Christmas so I can have something other than turkey breast, low fat gravy, boiled potatoes and steamed veg ie stuff my face with pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, christmas pudding, mince pies, cadbury's roses, yule log, cheese, cheese and cheese oh god I miss cheese)

Everyone in airports.

Drawn on eyebrows. What next? Shall we all shave our heads and draw the hair back in?

GallicosCats · 24/10/2017 17:06

Not just croaky American women Hotty. There's a fashion at the moment for a mucusy sort of growl among female presenters, maybe because they've been told that deeper voices are more authoritative, or more sultry, or some such nonsense. It doesn't sound sultry. It sounds like they've got a bad cold, and gives me an irresistible urge to clear my throat.

Illtellyouwhatswhat10 · 24/10/2017 17:08

Babies, toddlers and children under 16 in our local pub after 6pm in the evening. And those parents who seem to think it's acceptable to use the pub facilities as glorified play area for their darling offspring - eg babies romping on the floor in nappies; putting toddlers onto newly upholstered seats to do their shoes up. Young children running around shouting and screaming. Grrr!

DrKrogersfavouritepatient · 24/10/2017 17:26
