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?

My DP spending like 15-20 on designer baby grows and then getting upset when they stain/don't wash properly

People who jump on the latest health bandwagon and with no diagnosis whatsoever decide they are 'gluten intolerant' or suffer from 'anxiety' or whatever. Everyone feels a bit bloated when they eat too much bread, and gets nervous or anxious about certain things. Stop hijacking genuine conditions that people have been diagnosed with or are in the process of being tested for, to make yourself sound more interesting

Dad and daughter 'dates'
Parents being best friends with their children instead of parents
Snapchat filters
'funny' 'buffoon' men who actually are evil. (Rees Mogg, BoJo)
Piers Morgan on telly
Children as mini gods, never to be inconvenienced criticised or upset
People who think their dogs are more important than anyone elses wishes/ thoughts about dogs
Showing off on Facebook
People who will say hello to you at work one day then completely ignore you the next !!

@reallyevilmuffin just designer baby clothes in general. It's ridiculous. When she was a baby my DD was given so many impractical clothes as gifts. Really, a satin hand wash only party dress with a velvet collar? You shouldn't have. No seriously, you shouldn't have. Now I have to put her in it when I see you, then wash the bastard thing because it looks like it cost more than the contents of my entire wardrobe.

Huge tattooed/ overdrawn eyebrows.

And all of the above.

Headbands on girl babies. Especially when they don't have hair. Why?!

Awful, inept, thick, unprincipled politicians
Woke leftie dudebros
Talentless vacuous people famous for being famous
Classic pop tunes being slowed down, covered by a breathy cracked voice girl singer, and used on every single advert on the telly, what happened to original ideas?
Instagram and fake lives
Slack, lazy parenting being excused as bohemian, liberal parenting
People just eating and eating everywhere, all the time.

SELINE

Honda Jazz, 3 car seats in the back . Buggy in the boot. Boom!

But also my point, 2 kids fit in a 5 seater, 3 /4 kids in 7 seater, no need for a ten seater, taking up 2 parking spaces if you see what I mean.

I agree with all of this.

Would like to add people who use self service checkouts in supermarkets and scan all their shopping into a pile and when they’re finished they search around for their bag for life and then pack it. Put the stuff direct into the bag, why won’t you do this!

I have found my people. Can we move away from the rest of the world please?

Oh, and mansplaining. As much as I loathe all these made up words (Brexit is the one that really grinds my gears. It’s not a word. You all sound stupid saying it on the news), this is one I take less issue with because the act is so widespread. From men telling me how to deal with periods and post childbirth injuries, to men telling me how to drive, I hate them all. I tried to nod along and grit my teeth the other day when my husband was mansplaining to me the better way to prepare dinner. I only do it every fucking day, apart from when a blue moon falls on a Thursday, then he will do it and do it badly. So I said to him, “thanks for your explanation but I know exactly what I’m doing, given that I’ve done it daily for about 18 years.” Right on cue, out comes the hurt bunny look. Which I also have no time for

People who walk two or three abreast on a pavement and refuse to bloody move an inch to let you past without walking on the road. Also includes parents with buggies and children on scooters. Parents of scooter kids who ignore them hurtling towards you because they are on their fecking phones.
Brexiter politicians who talk through their arses.
Women being encouraged to look like plastic Barbie dolls with fake eyebrows and tits and no body hair
Most of the things everyone else has said.

Glottal stops, just no. I caught one of my adult DC saying "wa'er" (water) the other day. I'm just disgusted.

Pointless meetings and groups and committees at work that come up with pointless reports that then need an implementation group to discuss the recommendations that will end up being completely ignored anyway.

Silly meaningless jobtitles -'Deputy Director of Resources', 'Customer Facilities Executive' and so on.

Babyshowers.

I have been invited to a babyshower,theres a list you can buy off.No problem there saves doubling up.

But and i cant believe this.The organiser has put in a message can anyone pay off her pram bundle.I dont know how much is left to be paid.

But i looked it up and my god its nearly a thousand euro.Thats just money grabbing and rude.

For all my fellow cinema/theatre noise haters

@poundoflard I'll have a look at the Jazz. We tried to fit all three seats in the Peugeot 207 the other day and as you can imagine, failed massively.

Fake tan ! Fake hair. Plastic faces and pneumatic boobs.
People calling one another babes !
Grave announcements on the news informing us of ground breaking research that is just common sense . Millions of pounds spent to state the obvious ! E.g. latest research shows that overweight children have a higher than average chance of being an overweight adult type thingy . Just made that up but no doubt someone is wasting millions researching it as I type !

All of the above!!!

add
colleagues shit stirring, lying and generally being two faced..

Sniffers, Loud eaters..use manners!

Those who share FB scams/hoaxes, get off Facebook....use some brains, stop showing the world how dense you are..

Fake nails.
Photos of everything on FB, particularly food.
Woe me posts on FB without a mention of the reason.
Median food presented in Master Chef fashion. With Michelin * prices.
Vegans with pets.
Animal lovers who treat or call their animals as children. The last one was "babies" - I thought actual babies had been abandoned, FFS!
"My opinion counts the same as yours, even though it's contrary to all (scientific) data and it's clearly bollocks".

The fucking lot, it all pisses me off.

Yeah, me too

And people letting their kids ride their scooters in a tiny food shop with busy crowded aisles. Who is that fucking entitled?!?

People hinting at problems on FB instead of just saying it straight: 'Sometimes people just really upset me; I'm sure they don't mean to, but I'm sitting here crying.'
Then a load of sycophants pile in with 'Oh hun what's up?xxx' etc. Attention-seeking twats.

And people putting their phones on in the fucking cinema. Switch it the fuck off you rude twat.

I'm really tired and grouchy this morning.

Political journalists. Too gleeful, in a bubble.

Every fucking thing. All of it. And you.
