Ooh and a pet hate: people who use their windowsills as a shelf for any old old bric-a brac, ashtrays, milk cartons, cups.
If your house looks like that from the outside god knows what it's like inside.

Jinxed2 · 11/07/2019 17:12

What I really can’t stand is people getting pissed in beer gardens, cricket clubs etc and leaving their young children to basically do whatever they want because they are more interested in drinking.

AntHilda · 11/07/2019 17:12

People with private reg plates

Ringdonna · 11/07/2019 17:12

Tattoos, living in council house, wearing leggings, poor speech and grammar

Lack of manners

findingmyfeet12 · 11/07/2019 17:17

living in council house

Seriously?

Eustasiavye · 11/07/2019 17:18

Eating, drinking or smoking in the street were considered vulgar and common by my lovely gran.
Women should always wear tights or stockings.I
Men wore hats when out and about especially in a Sunday.
Wearing unironed or dirty clothes was also regarded as common.

The2Ateam · 11/07/2019 17:19

Actually it was the stupid auto correct which lives to ruin my life.

BMW6 · 11/07/2019 17:20

People who use the phrase "Grass them up"

Urgh.

LordScamperdale · 11/07/2019 17:21

I would have thought it was obvious. They have attitudes, an appearance, morals, hair, diet, shopping habits, a car, family relationships of which you disapprove.

XXcstatic · 11/07/2019 17:21

What about all the Hyacinth Bucket behaviour often displayed on MN? E.g.

Being overly-concerned with cleaning (posh people are filthy - often in every sense of the word Grin)

Being hung-up about other people using your loo.

Being traumatised by someone wanting to spend the night at your house.

Being horrified by someone interacting with your child, even in a totally benign way.

PoppingOneOutIn2020 · 11/07/2019 17:28

@XXcstatic oh yes! And people who think they're should be entitled to a free holiday to US Disney world for the family because DH is in the UK forces.

Decormad38 · 11/07/2019 17:29

I ate salad cream today. That's it I'm common. Oh god my family are going to be grief stricken!

Ringdonna · 11/07/2019 17:36

Scouse or Geordie accent

BigVern1 · 11/07/2019 17:37

Most of them would see that as unlucky!

Lucky would be them getting a shag off the missus after 10 pints of Stella

BigVern1 · 11/07/2019 17:37

Sorry that was in reply to a poster on the previous page!

unlimiteddilutingjuice · 11/07/2019 17:49

"wearing leggings"
Your talking about leggings instead of trousers though right!?
Leggings instead of tights are good?

My father had a hang up about women wearing trousers with an overcoat, trousers were fine, but you needed a shorter jacket for them. May just have been an issue of style or fashion, though, he was a pretty snappy dresser.
