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.

People who say they went to the 'school of hard knocks' or 'university of life'. These are invariably unbearable human beings.

Draws/wars/claws and mom/mum - as others have said it depends on your accent. This kind of discussion comes up so many times.

Drawers/draws/wars/claws all sound the same in my pronunciation and I would also say mom not mum.

The (mainly Facebook) selling pages, with their ‘Chester drawers’ for sale. CHEST OF DRAWERS.

The revival of crushed velvet.

Badders08 · 18/10/2017 21:15

People who wear their ignorance as a badge of pride

crazycatgal · 18/10/2017 21:15

People who pin you against the window with their shoulder & leg when the come and sit next to you on the bus - it always seems to be men.

Yep- most people hate those people.

You. And you. And you - especially you, over there - STOP THAT NOW.

RubaDubMum89 · 18/10/2017 21:15

People who say "we was" instead of "we were".

People who say "pacific" instead of "specific".

YES
university of life. Oh fuck off.

Skinny jeans on men.

Skinny jeans worn with long pointy shoes that turn up at the toes, the 'elf look'.

Skinny jeans on chunky legs.

Muffin tops due to low slung jeans that don't fit anyway.

Clouds of disgustingly strong perfume wafting from someone passing by that has gone nose blind or can't be bothered to wash.

Being passed bank notes that stink of aftershave, perfume which transfers to my hand Envy (not envy)

MontanaSkies · 18/10/2017 21:17

Men (it's always men) who obnoxiously rev their shitty souped-up cars up the high street VERY LOUDLY, then zoom off belching foul-smelling exhaust at child's buggy level.

Also add "I say it how it is me, I don't nince my words!"

Then when someone criticises these people in any way they can normally be found crying in the toilets saying "Karen has just been a right cow to me!"

Forgetting they told a 20yo temp the week before that they needed to "stop whinging and get on with it", "work faster" and that they "made rubbish cups of tea"

AllToadsLeadToHome · 18/10/2017 21:17

People who say 'I am what I am'.

NoKidsTwoCats · 18/10/2017 21:18

People who claim that they're 'honest' and use it as a blatant excuse to just be rude or hurtful.

People who proudly proclaim 'I've never read a book in my life' as if that's some sort of achievement.

grimeofthecentury · 18/10/2017 21:18

Nince - mince !

MollyHuaCha · 18/10/2017 21:18

Gotten. Gotten. Gotten.

The sudden ubiquity of this abominable word has gotten ridiculous.

(Unless you are from USA, in which case we’ll let you off)

Schtinkay · 18/10/2017 21:18

Sweet perfume

Shit grammar

Clothes that do not fit

Champagne socialism

HemanOrSheRa · 18/10/2017 21:19

I'm so old and out of touch I thought the young people wearing those fluffy mule things were wearing their slippers. I didn't realise they are a fashion item Grin. How odd.

NoKidsTwoCats · 18/10/2017 21:19

HemanOrSheRa wait, what? These are actual shoes?!

WoofWoofMooWoof · 18/10/2017 21:19

People who use collective nouns as plural, ie "the company are". Drives me insane.

Male checkout workers (its always men who does this) who are self appointed comedians. I once carried my bike helmet into Lidl wearing high-vis and the tosser who works there said “let me guess - you’re on your bike?” And pissed himself laughing before more attempts at jokes. I stopped going because of him.
