Selfish bloody individuals who travel by bus that sit at the back were the seats face each other and think it’s perfectly acceptable to put their feet on the seats 😡
People who insist on sharing their mobile conversations with the whole fucking bus!
Oh and if I hear one more person use the word “journey” when it is totally inappropriate I AM GOING TO SCREAM!
Aaaaand breeeaathe...,,,,,,,

I walked behind someone yesterday who was p l aying music on their phone but without earphones.

Loudly, too.

Is this a thing?

Her musical taste was shite, you'd think she'd be embarrassed.

If you're going to play music in public play something everyone enjoys. Like Queen or ABBA.

People at work getting paid big bucks despite being incompetent. Yes I’m talking about you trips coordinator!!!

StoneofDestiny · 08/02/2019 18:04

What is wrong with using the word journey?

Relightmyfire2017 · 08/02/2019 18:06

😆 there should be a law passed allowing only us ABBA devotees the freedom to play music in public. Ooh I’m just imagining walking through the local shopping centre on a bad day when a flash mob breaks into an impromptu rendition of “Dancing Queen” and Pierce Brosnan sweeping me off into the sunset...
Superram, I wouldn’t know where to start with that one!

Teen boys talking about there sex life in the chocolate aisle in Tesco almost put me off my crap chocolate craving (almost)

Deeedeeee · 08/02/2019 18:08

Journey - used to describe any experience that was "a bit rubbish" then it was "Ok and worked out in my favour" ?? Yep that winds me up too.

kitkatsky · 08/02/2019 18:10

The snooze button! I hate it

Deeedeeee · 08/02/2019 18:11

When I dropped DD off at school this morning a gang of kids were bawling out ABBA, thought was odd but also reassuring for some reason.

pictish · 08/02/2019 18:11

Drivers going 40 on a 60 when there’s no need, gaily holding up everyone trapped behind them.

Nothininmenoggin · 08/02/2019 18:14

The uniform police at my trust reminding us that only plain black socks are allowed. I work as a midwife and I don't think for one second any woman I care for would give two hoots what colour my socks are. For all that is going on in the NHS we have what are known as specialist midwives sending out an email to all staff to remind us of uniform policy and the "black socks" Give me strenghAngryand again Angry

Relightmyfire2017 · 08/02/2019 18:14

Stoneofdestiny sitting in a meeting at work with some wet blanket HR-type and at the end of the meeting (yes, all 4 frigging hours) he/she tilts their head and says “WOW! WHAT A JOURNEY TODAY HAS BEEN”!
Yes, really.
My mother went to hell and back trying to overcome cancer. That’s a journey.
Those adorable kids who ring the bell at the hospital when they go into remission. That’s a journey.
In another context, going on a bus/train ride that’s a journey!

Strength still Angry

My youngest child is obsessed with flipping my slipper off and it drives me insaaaaane! Really fucks me off more than it should.

Nothininmenoggin · 08/02/2019 18:17

*Relight *Definitely agree the word journey so overused for pathetic reasons.

SoyDora · 08/02/2019 18:20

Sausagefingers my 3.5 year old does this too and it was me so bloody angry!! I’m not sure why it provokes such a reaction in me Confused

SoyDora · 08/02/2019 18:20

*makes me

Relightmyfire2017 · 08/02/2019 18:31

I sympathise with you all - it really isn't just me 😂
Other things that annoy me:
Thinking of a really good solution to a problem, telling the boss who promptly say "that's a really good shout" and then nicks your idea.
Those other REALLY bloody annoying phrases like "thinking outside the box" or "touching base". I really am convinced that in order to get on where I work I need to learn the various, and obviously highly secretive office speak because some people are naturally fluent and have those really arsey expressions to match.

'Furbabies'
Snapchat filters
People who don't say please and thank you
People who eat with their mouth open
Shit parking meaning you can fit your car in but can't actually open the doors
They're / there / their
Your / you're
Saying 'free' instead of 'three'
'Lickle' / bockle instead of little or bottle

Slow walkers in the supermarket. Fuck me, I felt like killing someone in Aldi earlier Angry

abbsisspartacus · 08/02/2019 18:48

People say journey i sing don't stop believing

What's hacking me off today is I've lost my job that I started Monday they might ring me next week if the work comes in I mean it's not the end of the world except I quit a job to go to this one and I was really looking forward to working in the office again as opposed to scrubbing toilets

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 08/02/2019 18:55

Quick wins. Bloody quick wins.
This is our management team's current favourite and I may go mad if I hear it again.

JeezYouLoon · 08/02/2019 22:15

Getting caught behind a vaper, bloody boils my piss, huge cloud of smoke and nowhere to go Angry

MissMarplesKnitting · 08/02/2019 22:18

Older men who have been dragged to the supermarket.

They pick up the entire aisle with their trolleys, totally unaware, and looking fed up.

Just. Bloody. Move. To. The. Side.

MissMarplesKnitting · 08/02/2019 22:19

Pick?

Block.

mum11970 · 08/02/2019 22:21

Omzlas if I didn’t know better I would have thought I wrote that list. A very big yes to all of those.
