People who think we should crash out the eu with no deal.
People who think saying cunt makes them cool.
People who post in Aibu and then throw a strop when people tell them they are indeed being very unreasonable

Cliques of middle aged women on weekends away - just been away and had to listen to group on the train basically slag off everyone they knew - they were teachers and no one was expect...- colleagues, parents, support staff. Unbelievably unprofessional.

Fillers and whatever it creates. Really sad to see the puffy face it creates.

Dislike of gin if you’ve never really understood it....been drinking the stuff and collecting it for 25 years...very much understand it and drink it infrequently, but don’t understand people, hating it without checking it out.

Overt expense on fake looking beauty treatments as in...fake nails every two weeks; eyebrows; lashes; hair extensions.......then wondering why they are ‘skint’. Be natural save your money and enjoy a nice holiday.

Bad manners generally
