What is your biggest pet hate?

[ArgfromTowie]

Not literally about pets

I would say social media trolls

People who put no? Or yes? At the end of a question. You sound like a condescending twat and a question mark will do!

People in general who have no idea how to behave appropriately anywhere.
Middle aged women who dress like toddlers in bright tights, trendy red flat soles boots & wear tunics that end mid thigh. Er.. no. If you’re knocking 50 it’s not a good look.

@LemonShark I thought I was alone!

People using ‘of’ instead of ‘have’

Huge cars like range rovers in cities

The roads are not made for such huge cars many drivers of them really shouldn’t be driving something so big and for most they are a fashion accessory few people need such big cars they should be very very highly road taxed (in cities) with exemptions for some

Wish the mayor would do this doubt he will

I have a new one lol

People who tear u a new one for having a different opinion to them and resort to nasty name calling but the minute u give it back they go crying to their mummy's (or in some cases the mnhq)

As of this morning, the van that beeped me as I was halfway across crossing a side road (on foot).

Generally, people that misspell quite prominent brand names that are written out everywhere ("Vodaphone" instead of "Vodafone" etc).

And people that misspell/mis-pronounce people's names after repeatedly being shown and hearing the correct way.

People who spit in the street.

I'm left handed and I always get the sodding leaflet. I usually open the carton from the top. I think they put the leaflet at the top end deliberately to make you read it before you get the tablets.
Next one I'm opening it from the bottom.

People who want to ‘get’ themselves a coffee and a pastry in the coffee shop. No, unless you work there, you’re going to HAVE a coffee. It’s ‘can I have...’ when did it become ‘can I get?’

People who drive cars with those dazzling blue high intensity head lights. So selfish, blinding other road users and causing crashing headaches. Gives me the rage.

People who use the phrase "reach out".

Unless you are quite literally reaching out (to pick up an object that is some distance away or to grab the hand of someone that is perilously dangling off the edge of a cliff, for example) then it's completely unacceptable.

• motivational quotes.
• fitness "influencers" on social media when they comment on nutrition, clean eating, detox, etc BS that they have no idea about, just because they have lost some weight, or they are pretty they have lots of followers and can spew nonsense.

-people who ask you where you are from and then ask you about the stupidest stereotype of your native country. -mansplaining, and giving obvious solutions to your problems, e.g. they see you have a cold, and tell you that you should drink orange juice. God darling have you published this in Nature yet?

Also, a "pet" hate (lighthearted): our cat has become extremely bossy and micromanaging. Doesn't let us have a moment of peace, all the time shouting like an elementary school PE teacher, it's either trying to herd us to the fridge, or the brush, or has to put his had on the laptop when you work, or making us get up at 6am on a weekend by jumping on the bed. Almost gave DP a heart attack this morning (and no he can go out and come in and has food and has no reason to wake you up except boredom).

Negative nancies... Prolific moaners.. We all have our moments but some people really do milk it

Oh and people who think they know it all

People who think they are superior beings because of the way they hold their cutlery. Usually the same people who "pride themselves on their good manners", which translates as being touchy, snobby and judgemental, but A Better Person Than You because they send thank you letters.

Lateness. No excuse for most of it. One of the very few things I ever agreed with Margaret Thatcher about.

Lemon, Porkless me too! I tried applying logic but because the primary dispensing pharmacist and then the second checker have to open and check each pack it's totally bloody random. Yet still I get the leaflet end no matter how I vary my approach.

It's like the 21st century version of neanderthals stalking prey or something.

Hypocrisy.

I can forgive most failings and foibles in a person but blatant hypocrisy I cannot stand.

Upstart I wish you well in your attempts to solve the leaflet conundrum. I have tried to get past it and move to a place of acceptance but still end up muttering 'oh, ffs' multiple times a day.

The walking along looking at their phone screen ones (actually this gives me unlimited revenge sport because I keep walking straight and when they finally look up in surprise because I haven't moved path, I tell them to look where they;re going. There might or might not be a swear word. I want for them to drop their stupid phone , it will happen. I won't sympathise) .

The parking right up my arse or so close I cannot open my door. I am in a space with no-one near me , they choose to park next to me and do it shittily. I choose to not be too careful when I open my door.

Parkinson's disease. My nan suffered, and now my dear old dad is going through the same. It can bugger right off, cruel and evil disease.

On a lighter note, people who barge on to tube trains without letting others out first. Downstairs neighbours who demand absolute silence and not even a foot fall from above.

Sweet potato chips. No no NO!

People eating in supermarkets.

Lack of critical thinking.
