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?

Those awful self service check outs. I want to go through a till and be served

[Giggage]

I prefer the self checkouts because I don't feel though I don't have to talk to it.
Being served usually now means awkward small talk that neither you or the person behind the till want to be involved in

[WhiteDust]

Children with no manners.
SO many parents would die of shame if they saw the way their children actually behaved in school.

[whatnametouse]

Grown women who act like they are in high school - “be part of my clique”

Women who actively allow themselves to be treated disgracefully by said people just so they get invited to things occasionally

Tight arse people who are well off but will ask you for 5p if they think you owe them - but never mention it again if they owe you

People expecting to be invited over to stay / for dinner but never return the invite

Me me me me people

Mothers who make everything about themselves to the detriment of their children

House never staying tidy for more than 5 mins when family comes home - put stuff away!!!

Bloody dry Jan. (This may in part be the reason for my rant 😂)

.... and breathe

@vikkiangelic I always say please and thank you to Alexa too, I'd feel really uncomfortable not doing this even though it's a computer!

[flightofthedoves]

I have just two words to add to this thread:

Baby yoga!

[KateArronax]

Babyccino?!

Quite cute but frothy nonsense also.

[PinkPanther27]

Oh yes while I'm here, I really, really hate cryptic messages on Facebook e.g. "so pissed off right now, can't believe this has happened" or "you've used me and let me down and I'm not going to put up with it anymore blah blah" passive aggressive post followed by several "you ok hun?" comments and no response from op or a "I'll pm you" often followed by a speech about how they know who their friends are cos they've 'liked' their post or commented on it, often followed by a 'Facebook cull' as if your worth as a friend is measured by how many of their posts you "like' or respond to with "I'm here for you hun" - no I've just got more important shit to do then spend my life on bloody Facebook liking your posts and I'll never use the word hun so go ahead and 'cull' me!
I also hate ridiculously high/arched/black/fat false eyebrows, they look ridiculous!

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

Baby yoga was ace I did it with both my girls . I appreciate how wank it sounds though.

"Dressing houses for sale"

Flowers on the worktops, low lights on in the middle of the day, furniture laid out in an impractical way to make the room look bigger.

I blame all those property programmes.

[JaneJeffer]

Printers which are sold cheaply but then the ink costs a fortune and the printer stops working properly after a year and has to be replaced. Such a waste. I'd rather buy an expensive printer that lasts.

[Darnsquirrels]

@JaneJeffer we're buying a printer year. Makes me furious to have to throw them away!

[fitgirl26]

Posting daily photos of children eating or playing (as children tend to do) with #makingmemories

Yes like they're going to remember smearing tomato sauce all over themselves when they were 13 months old 🙄

[Mumof1DS]

Generally I'm quite easygoing...

But people feeling the need to stand in the doorway of a commuter train gives me the rage. Move down inside the fecking carriage and let other people get on for fecks sake

[merrybloominchristmas]

parents who don't parent their children

for the love of god-teach them that no means no, and to do as they are bloody told and life will be a lot easier all round
feed them adequate nutrition and their behaviour will be better
make sure they get enough sleep and enough exercise

you know-do the bloody basics consistently before you moan about teachers and the way they respond your child

[woodhill]

Reducing product size then charging the same price e.g. wine

[Lydiaatthebarre]

People assuming that 'family friendly' restaurants mean their kids can scream and roar and tear around to their hearts' content.

People assuming that a modern housing estate means young families trump everyone else's rights so 'go and live somewhere else' if you don't want kids out playing loud games of football at 11 pm or running across your flower beds to retrieve their balls or gathering in big gangs right in front of your house instead of their own houses.

[BitOutOfPractice]

Printer companies' whole business model is predicated on them simply being vending machines for their ink. That's why printers are so cheap and don't last

Second hand shops calling themselves 'vintage'

Marginally better than 'pre-loved'!

A furniture shop near me described its second hand stock as "previously enjoyed"

[BitOutOfPractice]

I tell you what else gets on my last one, enboldening fail

[Clionba]

All of the above.
I have found my tribe!
People who have zero scientific knowledge, giving ridiculous advice eg a dairy free diet "cures" genetic disorders, water is a "toxin", stuff is full of "harmful chemicals" and - full rage on "de-toxing"
Your liver and kidneys do that every day, you twonks. Buy a book about the human body.

[Giggage]

Two faced people.

Grow up or fuck off. You claim that you're not, but there you are..... "she's nice enough but....."

[OVienna]

I manage to watch a lengthy stream of depressing TV last night. By the end of Cold Feet I was thinking: Bring back Downton Abbey, with Matthew alive and well, all is forgiven. Honestly - yes, you're picking up lots of Important Themes we're all facing daily, weekly, monthly, if not hourly (although I think they missed out elderly parents needing support.) But my gosh, I need an hour off!

What do you do when even 1995 P&P is growing stale tho?!

[Ifangyow]

People who move to the countryside then want to change everything!

Drink drug drivers.

Boy racers who drive their mum's old corsa's, which they've chopped up, replaced the exhaust with ha catering sized baked bean can, stuck a few go faster stripes on and installed dustbins in the boot for speakers, then deafen everyone with a blast of some rapper Shit as they roar past.

Cars that have 'powered by fairy dust' or some other shit sticker on them. Usually girlfriends of the above boy racer. No, it's not powered by fucking fairy dust, it's powered by petrol that you've just bought at the filling station.

Unicorns.

Women pissing about with their faces, filling this, botoxing that. Fucks sake, unless you've had a disfiguring injury, leave your chops alone. It doesn't make you look sophisticated and mysterious, it makes you look like coco the fucking clown.

Trout pouts. You look like a bloody duck billed platypus. Ridiculous. Stop it.

People who say yeah and like when speaking. So like yeah I was walking down the road like yeah. For the love of God, stop!

Martyrs.

My fucking sister who has Crohn disease, yet doesn't follow dietary advice given by the doctors. Then she fucking sits there clutching her stomach whinging. Fuck off. You will find sympathy in the dictionary between Shit and syphilis!

I'm sure there's more, but I don't want to give myself a headache.
