To have no time for 'nonsense' anymore

[scoobydoobydoooooh]

People expecting me to travel thousands of miles to attend their destination wedding.

People putting their name on waiting lists for designer handbags that cost thousands of pounds.

Pamper parties for 9 year olds.

Any other grumpy old ladies like to list the modern day nonsense they can live without?

Self-important, ignorant fuck-wits on this site that don't read the thread properly and state their opinion as fact and the Grammar Police.

Never-ending conversations that never resolve anything.

Andy Murray crying about having to retire - really? How on earth will you manage to live on your millions!

The BBC for having Andy Murray’s retirement the lead story of the night (when the country is in chaos)

Please BBC don’t give him a job as a sports commentator!

People whose sense of humour has gone awol!

Prime example:

DD just now: I want to go to a place called Santa's Lapland this Christmas.

Because seeing a man dressed in a dodgy Santa outfit and a small toy isn't enough these days.

Anything that's massively exaggerated or over the top annoys me.

@blacktiger Yes! Hate those messages to dead people.

I am really enjoying this thread! Here’s some more:

Hypochondriacs

People who say, “It is what it is.”

Those FB posts about a health condition, that invite you to share it on your wall and say, “I know who will share this and who won’t.” Yeah...ME

I had a list an then the fucking RJ45 cable lost contact

My list is
RJ45 cables that don't connect
Trump
Putin
May
Cameron
Massive eyebrows
glitter bum gems
Portal to Hell Summers followed by Beast from The east Winters
Donations of second hand knickers to the Charity shop (i don't care if you've washed and ironed them - would you buy them?)

Thigh gaps, ‘side-boob’, lip fillers big enough to make a human resemble a dickbilled platypus, media obsession with any vague celeb’s ‘flaunting of their baby bump’ and ‘post-baby bodies’ like it’s somehow a public commodity and it is worthy of epic scrutiny...love island....instagram ‘influencer’ being listed as a person’s occupation....being asked in front of my two son’s if I am so pleased to have a daughter this time and being told how lucky I am to finally have a girl. What the duck is that all about??

Plastic
Plastic
Plastic
Too much over packaging.

The serial Facebook selfie pouters ur face looks like a monkeys arse love please just smile

Oh and girls that wear far too much make up and very orange make up I just want to wash their faces

On a more serious note, I don't think anyone on here was suggesting (genuinely) that disabled, ill, vulnerable or just tiny children should stand up for adults on unstable public transport. Of course they shouldn't! Having been around the block, I think most of us old gimners on here are sensible enough to recognise that.

I think most pps were complaining in general that there are certain parents who, let's say, put their able-bodied nt DC, ahead of everyone in almost every situation to the detriment of good manners or good sense. Classic examples being DC who are allowed to ride a scooter down busy supermarket aisles, or toddlers being allowed to run around in crowded restaurants under the feet of the waiting staff who are carrying trays loaded with hot food! - that sort of thing!

If the elderly want Brexit, against the overriding wishes of the young, they can accept that the young won't like them very much

Stupid generalisations such as this. I'm 70, most of my friends are either side of that, none voted Leave. Many young people around here voted Leave purely based on immigration but they themselves won't be in the fields picking cabbages. The majority know nothing about the EU but were conned into voting Leave by the liars like Farage etc..

My 99 year old granny voted remain.

Go gramma

I'm in my 60s. I asked my adult DC what they wanted and voted accordingly.

No time at all for folk that park inches over my gate so i cant get out and therefore also blocking in my across the road neighbour
Family who think they can parent my ds better than i can after being a single parent almost 4yrs

40ish women pouting in selfies.Get a grip!

People expecting me to have my mobile attached to me at all times and answer their calls instantly. It's like there was no life before Alexander Graham Bell. It's my iPhone; my tool; my use. Pokemon Go mainly Does anyone remember the good old days when you'd go on holiday, not answer your landline for a fortnight and no one whinged?

There are others but that's my main gripe; the whinging of people who demand instant access to other people.

This years bugbear is non-recyclables and unnecessary stuff. I've just bought Lakeland's wax wraps to try to tackle clingfilm. Well done National Trust for sending their yearly book in potato starch 'composting plastic! I'm not going to go all virtuous and WOKE, but just trying to do more not to destroy the planet for my kids.

Yes bloody baby showers? I don't remember moving to America

Dogs. People who think dogs are more important than people. People who think a family needs a dog. People who don't just have one dog but have to have two or more. People who work full time but still have to have a dog that's left at home all day. Dogs that bark all the time. My next door neighbours' dogs that think my driveway is their territory. People who walk their dogs off the lead and shout 'he's friendly' when the dog runs up to me. I could go on but you get the picture. I dislike dogs.

Endless Just Giving pages for taking a bloody 3 mile walk. I do that daily with my dog but I don't expect to be sponsored. Go climb a bloody mountain or jump out of an aeroplane!

People saying "Ewwwwww"

The "we're offended by everything" lot... SJWs and snowflake hipsters...grow up!

People who post up 'share this' crap without fact checking first...It's not actually difficult to not believe everything you get told to 'share' and fact check before posting.

People sending chain messages. No. I won't send to 20 other people.

Love Island. Try finding a brain cell in that lot of morons.

Patronising adverts. I'm happy with the way I look I don't need to conform to your idea of what someone of my age 'should' look like.

Young women who were once attractive but for some reason want to surgically change themselves to have duck lips, massive boobs and worst of all a humongous bubble butt. Then they think everyone else wants to see it all on social media. Lauren Goodger for one.

Yes! Absolutely agree with most of the above!

Facebook, in general gives me the rage. If it’s not the endless ‘look at my perfect life’ posts #myworld #makingmemories then it’s the ‘Does anyone no what time tescos opens?’ laziness....Google anyone???
Ridiculous eyebrows.
Rudeness.
Celebrities that have done less than nothing to deserve being celebrated.
@gogogoforit our of interest what is school gate mum stuff?

I can agree on not liking dogs but if you don't like dogs you're considered evil.
"Oh he's only being friendly!" As he jumps up and tries to knock you to the ground and scare the crap out of you in the process which is a problem if it's a big dog and you're small.
"Isn't he lovely!!" Says the dog owner who smells as bad as their dog.
