What is your biggest pet hate?

[ArgfromTowie]

Not literally about pets

I would say social media trolls

[vampirethriller]

Hipsters.

[Rudgie47]

People who make that deep snorting noise when they are clearing mucus from the back of their nose/throat. A woman was doing that on the bus the other day and I was nearly sick.

[kissbeforelippy]

People chewing with their mouth open.

Queue jumpers.

People that spell queue as que.

People using of instead of have.

People.......

[Thingsthatgo]

Referring to people in the police force as ‘job’.

[Weezol]

Weird braying laughs - think Jimmy Carr.

[Gemini69]

I dislike... poorly titled Threads on Mumsnet.. not enough detail ... sorry but that's my pet hate ..

p.s. this one is Titled perfectly mind

[KurriKurri]

People who refer to every kind of rudeness and unpleasantness as 'shaming' - fat shaming, thin shaming, ginger shaming, height shaming, etc etc.
People are just being rude to you - it is their problem that they are rude, shame is an emotion you have option about - you can feel it or not, no one can shame you about your appearance unless you let them. If someone says something nasty to me I don't think 'I've been shamed (and rush to post about it on MN !) I just think 'fuck off you knobber'.


Ditto what a PP said about roundabouts. Where I live people approach roundabouts as if they have never encountered one in their lives, creeping along cautiously using either several contradictory signals or no signals. Going round the outside lane very slowly wondering to themselves if they will ever get off this labyrinth. Last week someone stopped in the middle of a roundabout near me and looked all round him in a mystified manner as if the three options of where to exit had made his brain turn to blancmange.

Local authorities where I live (clue - the sticking out arse of the UK) have had to replace some roundabouts with junctions because people were losing their minds on them, going round and round indefinitely, the roadway equivalent of Hotel California -

[Andrewofgg]

People who say she's like instead of she said - how did that start and why did that start?

AnaViaSalamanca Your cat has obviously been spoiling you and is now reasserting control. Quite right too.

[Lunaballoon]

Mobile phone zombie shufflers

[user1485342611]

Fame whores who make an exhibition themselves on cheap tacky reality programmes and then think they're in the same league, celeb wise, as Judi Dench or Colin Firth.

Parents who let their kids create a racket in restaurants and other public places.

Young people who don't stand up for elderly people on public transport.

[ALemonyPea]

Shops that purposefully change the spelling of their names to look all edgy/trendy/different. Just makes me not use them TBH.

[CheeseAndOnionIceCream]

At the moment,the 2 kids in the coffee shop who have been whizzing about on heelies for the last hour. Their mother is too busy staring at her phone to watch what they are doing. When one of them gets a hot drink spilt all over them because they've crashed into someone's legs,she'll be demanding COM-PEN-SAY-SHUN.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I must try that Stealth! 😂

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

NotTheMrMenAgain some people may have to spit in the street if they have an illness that produces lots of phlegm.

[maddiemookins16mum]

My mum had COPD, she never felt the need to spit in the street.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

DS1 has cystic fibrosis, before hospital gave him his spit pot, he used to have to spit in the gutter. He used to swallow it when he was little, and throw up.

[yerbutnobut]

Queuing for a bus for ages and by the time it arrives the queue is long, and then several people just walk up, dont acknowledge queue and get on bus, grrrrrr

[ShowMePotatoSalad]

People who refer to any kind of guidance or advice given by a public body as "the nanny state gone mad". In fact, the phrase in general is enough to make my eyes roll.

[Readermumof3]

@maddiemookins16mum I'm off to read the thread and see why you made that comment. I lost my dad to COPD and he never spat in the street either 🤔 I really should read the threads forwards rather than backwards.

[woodhill]

Some people spit in the street because they are uncouth not because of illness and it disgusts me.

So sorry about your dad.

[yawning801]

Loud eating, and manspreading.

[maddiemookins16mum]

I only made the comment because someone mentioned conditions with phlegm having to spit in the street. I kinda disagree, my mum (even at 79) managed with tissues etc, not nice but she never hacked up and spat in the street!

[bettycat81]

People who just stop.

I may be walking down a busy street or through a station and the person walking in front just stops (not due to any obstruction in their patg). Doesn't look behind them or move over to one side. They just stop.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I agree that some people spit in the street because they're uncouth, some do it because they need to. How can you tell who's who? DS1 used to cough far too much for tissues to last very long if we went out. At school he spat into the bins. He's much better with the cough now as he's more efficient with the physio as an adult. It's more like the occasional throat-clearing during the day.

[woodhill]

Yes I understand about your ds but it's disgusting if you are not ill
