Lego! I'm sick of it! Prising it out of my toddler's mouth, mopping up the tears when my 5 year old's impossibly long car falls apart. Breaking up the fights when one child wrecks the other's creation. Standing barefooted on a microscopically tiny yet painfully sharp bit that got left behind.

And I can't make ANYTHING with them. And they're EVERYWHERE AngryAngry

Social media or maybe just the picture filters.

Clocking in and out of work
Bank accounts with monthly fees
Pension age higher than 55-60
tint in moisturisers
jumpsuits for adults

And while I'm on it, I'd disestablish the Church of England, make abortion on demand and do something about royal family (like, they can work on tills somewhere like Tesco?)

Friend. My cat will find where you live and kill you. I'd have to apply some serious superpowers to stop her.

Yes MrsJayy, animal sparkly snapchat filters, a bit of fun yes. Every single photo of you on social media, nope.

And Peppa Pig. She is a brat, and I'm coming to the horrible realisation that although DD is only 7 months, the blasted pig will still be popular come preschool age and I'll be forced to watch it Angry

Balls. I hate balls. I hate how, at the merest touch of sunshine every public place is taken over by men and their balls. I flinch a lot around footballs because I had way too many kicked in my face as a child!

I also hate how competitive ball sports dominate television at certain times of the year and the the hysteria that surrounds the world cup / any kind of sporting event. O hate that even the newspapers take this shot seriously. I hate that everyone thinks you are a weirdo if you don't have a 'team'.

I hated being forced to play netball at school. I have zero interest in which group of people is best at moving a ball of air around a large space. Zero. I just don't get it.

I also grew up in a house where the TV schedule revolved around football. My Dad followed his favourite team all over the country (and abroad) and talked of nothing else. Tedious. I'm in a relationship with a man who hates sport. This is not a coincidence.

Social meejah. How often is it at the bottom of problems, what someone said, published etc? There was something to be said for keeping things in-house or between a couple of people. I honestly don't think some people on here can take a breath without asking the opinions of others!

Chwaraeteg · 06/09/2018 17:08

And those annoying bits of plastic they put on the top of milk.

nicslackey · 06/09/2018 17:11

chewing gum. The sight of jaws going or worse, the people who chew it openmouthed. The sound of the chewing. The mess on the pavement. Gives me the dry heaves.

MrsMcW · 06/09/2018 17:11

Smartphones. And vaping. I'd honestly rather cigarette smoke than walk along behind an enormous cloud of bubblegum / cherry / etc scented vapour.

Thuggish teenagers? Lol, I don't think I can have that one, but that'd be good.
The internet
Alcohol
(Recreational) drugs
Nudity on TV
Awful modern slang/sayings like 'stan' WTH does that mean? Or people saying 'mood' to everything...

Goth237 · 06/09/2018 17:24

Sorry, I realise mine isn't as lighthearted XD.

JaneJeffer · 06/09/2018 17:29

sayings like 'stan' WTH does that mean? It comes from the Eminem song and means to be obsessed with someone.

Has anyone said Fortnite yet??
