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?

Brexit anything to do with it
workman who do quote & go out of contact
people whose kitchen are always immaculate (don't they cook do they spend their entire life cleaning up & do all their family always close cupboard doors after them - clue: I binge clean housework is BORING)

People who refer to their "little family" - I'm not sure why that turn of phrase makes me feel so murderous but STOP IT!

"My opinion counts the same as yours, even though it's contrary to all (scientific) data and it's clearly bollocks".
This one really boils my piss.

People talking at me for ages about health problems, Grandchildren, bragging and boasting etc. I'm not interested at all.

People should either bore their families to death with all this crap or pay for counselling.

P&C spaces, but them at the back of the shops or get rid. We all lived without them for years.

Vegans - yeah, go ahead, eat your rabbit food, no one else wants to hear about it.

Brexit

Massive eyebrows! Why??

Plastic, immobile faces.

Newspeak, use real words please.

People who get overly angry over insignificant things, or over things that are expected and normal in a certain social situation, such as rustling sweet packets in a cinema or a neighbour mowing their lawn.

News headlines that suggest something completely untrue.
Followed by a non event.
News articles that keep repeating them selves.
Morons being allowed to vote.
Tv shows that keep recapping every 10 minutes l.

Im home..!!!
Women with pvc eyebrows
And again..'celebs' who have a baby and then have to write a book about child care or weaning
Office workers meeting in the pub after work and having a shouty competition.
Energy salespeople who try and get me to change over then dismiss me when they know my dh pays the bill ( a good way to get rid of them)
Sales assistants who lump your change into your hand with the note on the bottom..

People being continuously late or overly wishy-washy (especially in love.)

Would you like to go out for tacos? Oh maybe.

My mum has been terminally ill and I just find that I have no patience for 'maybe' or 'I'm not sure.' Life is a once around, yes or no, don't waste my time.

Morons being allowed to vote.

I can live with that. I'm more worried about morons being allowed to run for office.

Love this thread!

'Hook Day' topic dress up at the start of each new term at primary school...When did this bollocks start up? Seriously, if you can't interest your class in without asking them to dress up as the great fire of London or what not then go back to teacher school.

On reflection, now that my beta blockers have kicked in, it's not the teachers I take issue with. They are just trying to make dullsville 'fun' no doubt. It's the other parents who turn these things into a massive competition by creating elaborate costumes for their child that make it all a nonsense.

The 'WE ARE JUST SO CREATIVE DONTCHA KNOW" family go and spoil it by dressing their child up as a working thatched cottage complete with collapsing 'burnt' roof.... etc.

Proud she has done it herself but hope we don't get a letter about unhealthy choices at breakfast... They can do one.

People who seem to share everything that comes up on their FB newdfeed clearly without reading it. It may be useful to share that lost dog or person post, but scroll down the comments and you'll see they were found 3 days ago - so I don't need to know.

I know this is a light hearted thread and I have joined in, in the spirit of it. And sorry to put a temporary downer on this but @home77 - you think loneliness is nonsense? I am guessing you are one of those people who have a decent sized family and don't know what it feels like to be lonely? Well I do and trust me it is not fucking nonsense. It is utterly heartbreaking and soul destroying feeling lonely. I work as an hcp and many of my clients are also isolated and lonely. I actually thought this was becoming more recognised and it was becoming less "shameful" to admit to being lonely and then along comes someone smug who illustrates that, for some, attitudes still have not changed

Sorry everyone else. Aside from the comment I mentioned I am actually really enjoying this thread

All of the above and can I add,
Athleisure wear - ffs. Unless you are exercising put on some bloody clothes. The aim of the gear is to support you while you work out not allow your bulges and bumps free reign to keep expanding while you chomp down another McDonalds, with a diet coke natch!

Fog lights on all the time - Is it that you drove out of the garage with them on and not sure how to turn them off, or you just like every bloody light on your car switched on and glaring at all times?

Gemma Collins, who the fu(k does she think she is? Yes I know she's The GC!!! The star of the show? If she is considered a role model God help us all

I have found my tribe!

People who cannot have a conversation with their next-door neighbour/acquaintance/colleague about some perceived slight. People who cannot do someone a favour without getting ridiculously worked up about CFdom. People who 'didn't like to say anything" to the person concerned but will go on every social media channel available to whine about it. And breathe.

A worrying amount of the above!

Adults who loudly delight over kids stuff: Pokemon, fucking books about orphan wizards, etc.

I mean, like that stuff if you have had a lobotomy want to, but don't be under the illusion that it makes you cool or sexy. It makes you an embarrassment of a 32 year old who should be spending their money on moving out of their mums house, and not on some shitty toy figures.

Just about everything above, plus:

People who don't stop/slow at junctions and just speed out and expect you (who has right of way) to be good with your brakes
Anyone who waits at the bus stop outside my house and throws their rubbish into my front garden
Refuse collectors who throw the empty boxes down in the middle of my drive, damaging the box and blocking access (I live on a main road so not always easy to stop and move the box when I'm returning)
People who park across your drive/drop curb
Anyone who offers an unsolicited opinion
Extremely noisy fireworks going off at random times
The morons who are grabbing bags from overhead lockers and standing up in the aisle when the plane has barely reached the terminal
Seat kickers in cinemas and on planes
The use of the word 'parent' as a verb. Don't know why but that one really bugs me.

...just life basically. I could go on and on and on; I'm a right old grump and get worse as I get older.

Grumpy old women moaning about everything.

Live and let live.

Men who make creepy irrelevant "joke" comments on fb posts. Eg: someone posted a thread in a group I'm in which said "show me your dogs and puppies" and the comment from creep followed "these weren't the kind of puppies I was expecting " followed by a gif of a woman squeezing her breasts together.

Schools thinking parents can just drop everything to go in, in the middle of the day when summoned "urgently" just to tell you that your autistic child reacted to something at lunchtime and can you talk to them about it and tell them not to do it again. This could have been done via email, telephone, text, letter in bag, or after school.

Hermes.

People who ruin a light hearted thread!

News presenters reporting live from the scene, we don't need to see a dark beach or you knee high in flood water, just stay in the studio out of the fucking way

overuse of the term 'social anxiety' to describe perfectly normal annoying things that none of us like doing.
the then inevitable 'but I have #socialanxiety and I can't go out and also i have blah,blahblah'
The expectation that simply because you might have offended them, they can play the trump card of offence and make you apologise.
Ed Sheeran and any artist/ X Factor singer who is singing about their dead nan/ ill brother/ soldier father as if this is a badge of honour.
People who call their pets furbabies

People who book their calendars fully up 6 months in advance! Then complain when you organise something that clashes!!

Absoloutley HATE people who are hours late and don’t let you know! Feel like half our family/friends are doing this atm- does no one give a shit about punctuality anymore!

20 minutes- fine! 😒
1.5 hours - you’re not coming in! Sod off!

People who refer to their DH an DCs as their ‘Team’ on Social Media.

‘Just had a great day out to the beach with my team’ or ‘Really looking forward to a quiet weekend with my Team’
