Not literally about pets

I would say social media trolls

Bloody annoying you tubers who screech and shout while playing games.

TroysMammy · 09/02/2018 21:18

People, mainly men who wear light grey jogging bottoms in public. Worse still with a matching hoodie combo. Not a good look unless you've given up on life or have been in prison.

Drivers who do not thank you and drivers who park against the flow of traffic. No matter how cheeky you are half pulled out, I will not let you out out of principle.

We could never be friends cleofatra, I hold my fork in my right hand and knife in left. I look like a toddler when I try to do it the ‘right’ way, it just feels so unnatural and food flies everywhere.

Noisy eaters and slurpers, both equally make me want to kill the person doing it. I think it goes beyond a pet hate, I really do envision myself killing the person in the most horrific way.

@ritamills that's how I hold my cutlery!

In our culture we eat with our hands and I'm right handed so when we went to school and had to use cutlery it just felt right to hold the fork in the right hand and knife using the left.

Our dinner ladies were of the same background as us, so we were never corrected because they were doing the same!

I have practiced it the 'correct way',but all that happens is my left hand wobbles as I bring the fork to my mouth which causes the food to fall off the fork. Grin

Dog shit and litter.

People using "myself" with non-reflexive verbs.

tealandteal · 09/02/2018 21:44

The dog coming to look in on me when I'm trying to get the baby to sleep. Go away! An actual pet hate.

RitaMills · 09/02/2018 21:46

Munrow I’m the only person I know who holds my cutlery like that, although I did go out for breakfast this morning and the man sitting next to me held his the same way, I didn’t feel like such an oddity. Grin

To be honest I didn’t know people even registered it or it was a thing that irritated people until I found MN, it comes up from time to time on here and has given me quite a complex about it.

ShutUpBaz · 09/02/2018 21:47

Lateness in every form.
It screams 'my time is more important than yours'. Entitled, self-centred twats.

Every consistently late person has an 'oh but insert reason why I am allowed to be late here '. There are a lot of them on MN though.

Deshasafraisy · 09/02/2018 21:50

Dogs on furniture
People who smoke and stink
Grown women who like unicorns, rainbows and cupcakes etc

walchesterweasel · 09/02/2018 21:51

Cars parked on the pavement or on grass verges leaving them churned up

Are you job? I agree!

Unfairness really grates on me. I’m being picked on at work, it’s totally unfair, the boss knows it, he’s dumb because he’s risking a grievance and union involvement because he’s treating me differently to others. My face doesn’t fit, I am desperate to leave but I need to find another job before I do. So I’m jumping through their stupid hoops. Angry

AgnesBrownsCat · 09/02/2018 21:53

People who rehome dogs because they are too lazy to do the homework before getting them .
I mean you have two kids and a three month old baby and you think a collie boxer cross is a good idea . You don’t look after the kids properly what on earth made you think getting a dog was a good idea !

AgnesBrownsCat · 09/02/2018 21:54

Needy kids especially other peoples. That’s what toys and TVs are for .

Munrow · 09/02/2018 21:55

@ritamills there is a whole town of people, where I grew up, that hold their cutlery like we do.

You are definitely not alone!

TheQueenOfWands · 09/02/2018 21:56

People who are late.

Why can't they just say they'd rather not go/come? Why the physical protest?

Chocolatecake12 · 09/02/2018 21:57

People who don’t turn off their keyboard clicks!
The self serve toaster in restaurants/hotels. There’s always a queue, it’s not done enough once but too much if you put the bread through twice!

Menarefrommarsitwouldseem · 09/02/2018 21:58

Creased bedding.

When people breathe through their nose and it whistles. Or just breathe loud for that matter but the whistling gives me intense rage.

Noisy eating.

The whole you're/your confusion 75% of people seem to struggle with.

I could go on for a while...

Pompom42 · 09/02/2018 22:00

Sniffing. People sniffing instead of blowing their nose.
People eating loudly.
People saying ‘it is what it is’
Poor spelling.
People that are false and speak to you one day and the next day blank you.

Menarefrommarsitwouldseem · 09/02/2018 22:00

Oh and I quite like men wearing grey joggers. Indoor attire only though, yum.

StealthPolarBear · 09/02/2018 22:44

Perfectly I get cookie and her fake excitement. And Dan tdm who is just so damn nasal.
When they're not listening to me I shout "HI GUYYZZZZ mommy here" and they usually turn round

mommytoboo86 · 09/02/2018 23:22

people who don't like the word moist or are offended by swearing...
these people should never admit this to me as I will immediately start swearing or saying moist again and again 😂😂😂
