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.

(also pregnant, also guilty of a legging/jegging.....my OH keeps telling me what knickers i'm wearing when I bend over....I've given up caring!)

Continuous snuffling and snot swallowing - why go out without some sort of hanky or tissue if you've got a cold or at least go to the loo and get some tissue - oh bloke behind me on the train last week
Hawking and spitting (not the same bloke)
Unpleasant male feet in flip flops - if you're going to get them out, take some care of them
Pavement parking twats
Driving very slowly down country roads and taking no account of the long queues building up behind you - if you don't feel confident enough to drive faster, why not stop off every now and then and let everyone else go past?
Drivers who don't indicate at roundabouts or junctions - I'm not good at guessing.
Drivers who don't indicate when the only people around are pedestrians - why should we need to know where you're going?
Drivers who sit on your arse when you're driving to the speed limit, who flash you and intimidate you, because you're driving a smaller, older car.

Anyone pronouncing the alphabet "eee, efff, geee, haitch"

Which unfortunately includes my daughter.

Some years ago in hospital waiting room. Mum with 2 small children couple of seats away. A girl around 2 in pushchair, and a boy a couple of years older. Kids start wrangling and moaning at each other. Elder grabs hold of pushchair and shouts at sister. Sister bursts into tears. Mother snarls at crying daughter "Bite him. Fucking bite him I've told you before". Ashamed to say I was so shocked that I just walked away. I had no idea how to address something so hideously wrong.

People who say "I've run out of my tablets!" which ones? Oh it's the small white ones!! Shock

RallyAnnie · 19/06/2018 13:03

Skid marks on toilets
Children who swear
Mobile phones at meal times
Long tv ad breaks

Couldn't help but hear this like
Raindrops on roses ...!

🤣

I think this is a quote from a previous Mumsnet post:
"Head at our school says 'wiv fanks'. I don't care where you're from it's wrong."
Awful isn't it?
About as wrong as "Forty fousand feavers on a frush"

Huskylover1 · 19/06/2018 14:53

People who come and sit right next to you, in an empty waiting room, containing lots of other chairs.

People who start placing their groceries on the conveyor belt, before you have unpacked your whole trolley, meaning that you run out of room!

Had both of these things happen this week!

UnlawfulBananaPeeler · 19/06/2018 15:02

I know someone who spells ‘i’m’ as ‘ime’

People using my name in a condescending way like ‘that’s not what I meant, unlawful’ WELL THATS WHAT YOU WROTE GOOD LORD.

And calm.

@FucksakeCuntingFuckingTwats

Claws and wars sound exactly the same!!

DarlingNikita · 19/06/2018 15:43

'Can I get' annoys the fuck out of me. DP says it. I'm working up the courage to tell him it's annoying (he can be a sensitive flower to criticism)

'loosing the plot' instead of 'losing'.

The Guardian's habit of lower-casing words, but arbitrarily, so you get e.g. 'London Film festival'.

People getting names slightly wrong: Carrie Mulligan, Kirsten Scott Thomas, Cath Kitson. It's not that fucking hard!

PolkaHots · 19/06/2018 17:19

People who say aLmond.

It’s pronounced aRmond for Christ sake!

mumsastudent · 19/06/2018 17:24

sox instead of sock or socks

Nolagerformethanks · 19/06/2018 17:25

People who spell gorgeous 'gawjus' Angry
People who chew very loudly and disgustingly
When another till opens in the supermarket and people run from the back of the queue to go to it, where are your fucking manners??!
I'm fairly sure I have more I can't think of right now.....

You're not supposed to do that? Shock

Queuing really is taken extremely seriously in the UK. Wink

DaveyouareanuttertwatDave · 19/06/2018 17:33

People who say 'sarnie' instead of sandwich, 'merch' for merchandise, 'lunchiepoos' for lunch......etc. makes me want to smash my own face into a window

happinessischocolate · 19/06/2018 17:33

People who say "vicer verser" 🙄

happinessischocolate · 19/06/2018 17:35

People who don't slow down in the forest for the ponies and deer fat blonde woman in white car today yes you, slow the fuck down

LellyM · 19/06/2018 17:36

Anyone who seems incapable of pulling their jeans up over their backsides and want to show their underpants.

happinessischocolate · 19/06/2018 17:38

I say "droors" rhymes with "wars"

But we now need to know how you pronounce wars 😂
