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?

I hate the term snowflake. I like snow. Stop ruining snow. Plus it's just a way of telling people under 25 that they aren't allowed to complain about anything. Why shouldn't they get to complain?

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.

user ha ha I like that saying.

Self-pitying victims
Attention seekers
People who indirectly make digs at you but aren't brave enough to criticise you direct to your face
Desk-based workers who claim not to have seen the multiple emails you sent them
Entitled millennials who complain about everything and anything at work not like us in our day who were treated like shit but just got on with it

Love this thread, thought it was just me! I had to leave Facebook after one too many 'you ok Hun?'s. Also, moisturiser adverts that use 14-year-old models. Annoying!

The pressure put on women to be perfect. Perfect make up (usually waaaaay to much in my opinion), perfect attitude, perfect body, perfect social life. God help we might do or say something to upset the menfolk.

Heavy periods and the constant worry I’ve messed my trousers up because I’ve leaked even though I have a tampon AND a pad on.

School mum cliques. Yoga mum,horsey mum,designer mum. It really is just like being back at school, I thought once I was a grown up it would be different.

Text speech. If I can’t decipher your message I’m not even going to bother replying. “Txt m bk” “k” “r u sxc” grrr 😡

Poor grammar and spelling, especially on for sale adverts. “For sale Chester draws” “wordrobe” “Renow seenik” grrr 😡

I’m sure there’s more

The younger generation are lonely as well so it's not just the elderley. I used to work as a home help/supporter and I went to a new client whose usual home help had only lasted a month. He was telling me how lonely he was since his wife had died. So I said is there a community centre where you could go? I knew there was because I knew the area. His reply was I don't want to go and sit with a load of old fogies. H was 84 so that was the end of that conversation.So I totally agree with Home 77 sometimes they have to help themselves.

Constantly giving endless snacks to kids, even while the kid is distracted/busy/playing, then complaining that their child doesn’t sit down to eat at meals times. How much is a child supposed to eat?

I love this thread! I have found my people 😂

Parents who blame teachers for their offspring's poor behaviour.

Brand new and frequently replaces cars on HP (smug because I have a car that cost me £2k more than three years ago!)

Everyone becoming an athlete. I used to be a bit of an oddity going to the gym, but these days that is woefully inadequate.

People who just bundle to the front at bus stops when the bus comes - at least the old fashioned queue was fair.

Children on scooters on busy pavements or in shops - just teach them to walk.

Reality TV - all of it.

Anyone who believes their "cause" is justified by either shouting over someone else or by violence or terrorism of any kind - er no mate you haven't won, you have just demonstrated that your cause is so unjustified you cannot make a decent argument for it..

That too. Super fit young men at work doing iron man, triathlons and cycling. What happened to boozing and slobbing?

The fat slug eyebrow trend
Lip fillers and pouting selfies
Cryptic attention seeking statements on Facebook
Stupid filters on selfies
Attention seeking selfies

People who want me to get Whats App so instead of one annoying text I can have a whole group of them. No thanks.

young boys with long hair and their mothers who act like someone died when the kid gets a fucking haircut at last

made up fucking smart arsed words like mansplaining, stop putting all men down like they're all thick shits, just cos you landed yourself with an arsehole doesn't mean we all did

Botox in the lips - why?

People at the checkout taking forever packing their stuff, like it’s the Crown Jewels.

Dog owners that don’t pick their dog’s poo up. Just do it. It’s the law.

people asking you to sponsor teenagers to build a school somewhere aka pay for their holiday

Really dislike-

Social media.
Hen party abroad or miles away.
Destination weddings.
Baby shower.
Baby gender reveal party.
Trend for families to not eat together/ sit to table to eat
Too much porn available on line- warps views of what healthy loving relationship is.
Being call 'guys ' in a restaurant.
Friends constantly checking phone's when out for dinner/ live in the moment and enjoy the real world not a virtual one.
Dog owners who don't pick their dog's shit up.
People who throw rubbish out of car windows.
People who don't say please or thank you.
Girls who do stupid trout pouting and have ridiculous painted on eyebrows and long how eyelashes.
I'll stop now.....

Agree with ssd about haircuts- boys who want their girly curls cut off and their dms getting all upset about it! Also hate those hats with a big fat bobble on! Sorry but Ive not seen one person that they look nice on just ridiculous.

I dread the day I’m invited to a baby shower!

Weddings that drag on for more than just the day. I get that it’s a big deal for the couple and they want to celebrate but from a guest point of view I don’t want to be having to go to numerous pre-wedding events. It seems the normal hen/stag do isn’t enough these days either. It has to be a destination do. I don’t want to go to anything that I can’t come home from at the end of the night.

Wow. I didn't think much annoyed me...but it does now!!

Best thread in a long time 😂

People who react to hearing you have Stage 4 cancer by suggesting cannabis oil. Actually, it doesn't make me rage, because I know they mean well. I just don't need to hear it after 435 times, and I'm not interested in paying their dealer £50 a week.

People who police disabled loos and parking spaces by shouting at anyone not in a wheelchair using them. Not all disabilities are obvious.

WhatsApp groups

An alternative to the till one above- people who panic if I start to place my shopping without a divider. Even if I leave a gap the size of the Atlantic between my shopping and yours. I would grab a divider but you won't move down the till. MOVE DOWN WITH YOUR SHOPPING (as much as you can without running over the person in front, anyway). I do not have time for people who hover at the end of the conveyor belt until the cashier starts to scan their stuff. Oh, and if the aisles are wider, like ours, stand with your trolley to one side of you so that the person behind has more room, thanks.
