No no no no no

[WoofWoofMooWoof]

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.

Drawers rhymes with wars Draws rhymes with claws

I say claws and wars the same( at the end obvs).

My pet hate is myself and yourself when not used reflexively.
So I’m fine if you want to get yourself a drink, but you’ll never find me giving yourself a drink.
I’ll get you one though. Are you thirsty?

People with absolutely no awareness of how to walk on a pavement in a busy town/city (excluding disabled people, obvs, who generally are very aware of what/who is around them).

Tourists in front of me in the street or in shops who walk very slowly, then stop dead, turn round, or even start walking backwards very suddenly. I'm right behind you!

Tourists who take up the whole pavement while walking very slowly. There is always one walking slowly ahead or behind the others so the whole pavement is taken up for several metres.

Another PP has said this - people who don't even acknowledge that you have waited to let them pass, they just saunter past, continuing to chat away as if you are only a servant, or Beefeater, whose job it is to stand there with all the time in the world.

Slam poetry.

People who don't have basic table manners.
Children that get everything/lack discipline
Burping and not saying excuse me
Not saying please or thank you
Dirty houses
Customers
Pictures of children having ate something messy

I have loads 😂

Old people eating ice cream 🤮

I thought latte was with a long 'a' . How is it pronounced then?

Blimey I didn't know I'd smashed a piece of MN etiquette. Grovelling apologies!

People who say 'brew' instead of 'tea'
People who say 'back end of next week' instead of 'end of next week'
People who write 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely'
People who say 'your' instead of 'you're'
People who insist on standing so close to you in queues that they bang into your bag and it falls off your shoulder
People who spend hours at a cash point trying numerous combinations of cards and pin number and then leave with nothing

Competitive eating - apparently it's a sport.

I never really noticed this until seeing it on here, and now I notice it everywhere:

People using ‘brought’ instead of ‘bought’.

I’ve heard so many people say ‘when we brought the house’ or ‘I brought my first flat’. It makes me want to shoot someone. They’re not even remotely interchangeable. How can someone get something so wrong?

Is there anyone here who’ll admit to saying it? I’d love to understand the logic.

Have only just found this thread, and it's making me laugh. Yes, yes to so many of these. Lengthy, loud mobile phone conversations in public obviously (and unoriginally) - I don't want to know and you are inflicting your personal life upon me. Learn to read a book to while away your journey please.

On the mispronunciation of foreign words thing: buying chorizo at my south London butchers, I would anglicise the pronunciation. Doing the same in Madrid, I'd attempt to sound like the people around me. I do not pronounce Paris, Pa -ree. Unless I am speaking French. I do not refer to Roma or Milano when speaking English, or pronounce risotto or spaghetti in a cod-Italian accent when asking my family what they'd like for dinner tonight or ordering these things at the neighbourhood trattoria. (Another word I"d also pronounce with an English rhythm and inflexion.) Open borders people!

I hate the word 'bottom'. It's so prissy and mimsy. Bum (for the anus) or backside (for the buttocks) please.

"Haitch".

Bad grammar/spelling. Yes, I know some people are dyslexic. However, the people I know who are dyslexic are very staunch checkers. People who I know that are not dyslexic are the main offenders.

Use of myself/yourself when it should be me/you. "Just call into the office and ask to speak to Barney or myself."

Using vile language to little kids, as the OP said, or getting them to swear because it's funny.

Attention-seeking FB bollocks. I know someone who does this regularly: "Oh not again. Always being let down." After a good hour or so of "RUOK hun?" and similar it turns out that the car has a flat battery, or the nail salon has double-booked.

Selfies.

Yes yes to the latte pronunciation.
People who let their kids watch films and play games meant for older children.
People who say they have never read a book; like it’s a cool thing
Anyone who drops litter.
All that stupid MLM stuff.

The word 'holibobs'. Oh, and the expression 'picky bits'.

Definitely people who resurrect ZOMBIE THREADS

Why? Why resurrect a long dead zombie thread? Why not start a new one? I read the first few posts and thought 'not this again', then realised it was not just the same old type of thread, but the actual same thread I've read before. FFS. MNHQ - can you just lock old threads instead of letting them live again, it is so annoying!

Placemarking

bringincrazyback yes ‘picky bits’ is so annoying! It’s usually used by greedy people who want to eat loads of different things 😂😂😂

People who say generally instead of genuinely.

Expresso.

People who just quote someone else and put underneath...

People who make some crap or offensive statement and then say/write 'End of.'

Mums who refer to themselves as a "MILF" 🤮

user1; I don't pronounce the g in bolgnese, but how do you pronounce tagliatelle without it?

Ta-lee-ya-telly

People who say "I'm getting there" if you ask how they are.

Men walking the streets with no shirt on, no I do not want your sweaty beer belly touching my arm when I am queueing up in the post office!

Drivers who pick their nose and examine the contents while waiting at traffic lights.

I could go on and on and on but I won't, but I will mention my husband's manners which are dreadful but I blame his mother.

.

People who say 'arks/arksed' instead of ask/asked. It is not that difficult!

People who exit a train/tube station and just stop dead, to look around, look in their bag etc. Move the fuck along.

Just curious CPtart- which part of the pram pushing scenario offends you?! When out with my mum and dc, she will invariably ask to push the pram because she enjoys it. She's not smug, and I, walking (not trotting) alongside am not an accessory! As far as I'm aware....

'People who think that their opinion is more worthy than mine or anyone else’s. Ok, I get it you do/do not agree with religion/abortion/Brexit/salad cream, but it’s your opinion, my opinion differs, neither of us is better than the other. ' YY to this iamtryingtobenicehere

People who would rather apportion blame than fix the problem. My exH's endless whine of 'but it's not mmmmyyy fault' is why he's an ex.

Poor SPaG. I went to a 'sink' Comp. Both my children are Dyslexic - so I'm tolerant. But their Teachers SPaG makes me wince!

The general expectation of happiness / application of 'mindfulness' to any and all remotely mundane situations. Actually, can be challenging (if you are not just coasting). We are meant to be tested, and to grow.

The creeping infantilisation of adults which began in the 1960s and has only got worse. I'm an Old Fart who takes threads too seriously!

So, also: May, JRM, BJ, Gove, Corbyn (if we get the politicians we deserve then something has gone horribly wrong?)

And YY to young people, esp girls, feeling they must add to their faces/bodies to be 'pretty' when ALL young people are attractive just by dint of their youth.
