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?

Snapchat filters. Grow the fuck up

Selfies. Grow the fuck up

people who sit in the priority seats on the bus/tube/train and then don't look up from their phones, ever

anyone under 50 who stays downstairs on a double decker bus and stands around in everyone's way - leave the ground floor for old people and prams, you lazy twats

Slow walkers & people walking around looking at their phones -this is central London where it's fucking busy so get your shit together before we all get killed by that bus-

unobservant & oblivious people generally

the fact that nobody ever turns up on time any more -i miss the old days before mobile phones when you had to do what you said you were going to do-

Phew - I feel better, thanks

‘Gender’ reveal parties

Owen Jones

I've just read the entire thread and have come to the conclusion that I'm a miserable old bag as I agree with most of this .

Influencers. The most vacuous load of bollocks. You're salespeople.

Families who take 4-5 holidays a year.

Little Poppy is studying volcanoes in P1 so lets take her to see a real volcano. It's Xmas so we went to Lapland, dog sledded, stayed in an ice hotel...

Tribes who go on ski trips and hire chalets.

Faceboasts...complaining about how tough it is flying around the world taking perfect pictures to post so others know they are having a better time than the poor suckers at home.

English ladies who don't smile, say hello to foreign women. And always walk their chi chi pups together, without a smile.

Pushy parents who schedule pricey activities including "camps" so no time for playdates. (I know it's really day care)

'Nuff said.

Weather forecasts proclaiming RED ALERTS, AMBER WARNINGS etc., it was just pissing down, stormy or windy in my day, anxiety exacerbating bollocks

The overuse of the 'f' word, as if no other adjective exists. It can sound nothing but nasty and violent. Why has it become so acceptable to use it?

I am seriously loving these posts! Can relate on so many. I can't stand dogs, i know i am in the minority here but they stink and leave hair everywhere, it's disgusting 🤢 people who refer to them as furbabies aswell drives me batshit!

Social media taking over peoples lives and they post everything they are doing, calm down there Susan it's only a fucking parsnip no need to share it with the world.

Young girls (pre 16) with eyebrows that look like they've been drawn on with a sharpie and their faces are covered in make up posting pouty pictures with their boobs out or mini skirts on. WTF are these parents thinking letting them do that.

I could go on... think you guys have pretty much covered everything anyway 😂

Why didn’t I open this yesterday?

Love this thread!
Mansplaining especially when they haven't a clue what they are taking about.
The male ego
Misuse of basic grammar
Ditto re spelling
Americanization of English language
Made up words
Celeb names being merged together to make a new one - wtf?
Selfies
One up man ship - since when have we all had to have the latest/ biggest/ best of everything?
Competition between women
Unwanted parenting advice, especially in relation to my child who has an intellectual disability. Unless you're in the same boat keep your advice to yourself
Bad customer service (everywhere these days)
Entitlement

I could go on and on....god I'm definitely getting old and grumpy

The use of the word ‘gotten’ other than with ‘ill’ before it and ‘gains’ after it. Like living in a teenage American soap.

Call centre staff who say 'is there anything else I can do for yourself '. It's YOU!!

Yes! This^^ Makes my blood boil.

Also miserable staff, working in a customer facing job like a shop or restaurant, acting as if they’re doing you a massive favour by giving you the time of day!

FTFOTTFSOF and get some customer services training while you’re at it.

Adults who put stuff like this on their living room/kitchen walls. Grow the fuck up!

Big holiday “reveals” like personalised balloons in boxes telling the kids they’re going to Florida. And posting same on fb. No one the fuck cares!

“Gender” reveal parties/cakes. Again, no one fucking cares!

I agree wholeheartedly with Lydiaatthebarre. Parents who let their precious ones occupy seats on public transport when adults are standing throughout and even worse an expectant woman or older person? It just shows how bad mannered that parent is and what a poor role model they are for their offspring. This isn't about entitlement or that they've paid £1 for their kids seat but manners and its v sad.

I hate the now common question intonation answer. It's disgusting and means nothing like the content of the conversation. I can't employ someone who answers with a question! It's American /Australian and not English - totally bizarre!

Parents who think it is unreasonable their almost adult daughter was told to get off the bus for not having a bus pass and knowing she didn’t, and SHOCK, she had to walk a mile to school.

--spent too long on another thread—

Couples who announce ‘we are pregnant’ WE are not pregnant your wife/girlfriend/female partner is pregnant, not you, bloke so shut it.

Agree with a whole host of people on here.
I think you get to a certain age and can’t tolerate the total bullshit that people come out with and do .
As the saying goes:-
Never pick a fight with a woman older than 40. They are full of rage and sick of everyone’s shit.

People who think the earth revolves around their children.

Baby showers, bridal showers, hen parties, weddings, the whole fucking lot. No one cares.

Bad drivers.

Bad motorcyclists, they give good motorcyclists a bad rep.

People who claim to have a mental illness because they hyperventilated once.

People who try to give me medical advice. I have an entire team of professionals but PLEEEEASE tell me about how your mum's best friend's nan's dog uses St. John's Wart and that works much better than all the drugs that are poisoning my body.

Two faced people who are also ugly. If you're going to have two faces Caitlin then you could at least make one of them look good. Pluck that eyebrow.

Piers Morgan.

Carbon copy shops, same boring shite in every town and city

School bores.

We’re all doing our best. Fuck off and stop droning on about it.

Couples who announce ‘we are pregnant’

Yes! When did this shite start?! Fucking odious.

Oversharing on social media - they just look lonely and egotistic (and needy)

And slow walkers. Or people who walk against the people tide on a busy high street.

If I have stood all the way to Waterloo on my packed commuter train first thing in the morning, then all of you people sitting down should have the common decency to let us standers get off the train first. Don’t push in front of us. You’ve sat all the way, getting off first is the only consolation we have.
