Dominic Cummings.

People making fake apologies by saying “I’m sorry you feel that way”.

Girlzroolz · 14/09/2020 06:17

Casual cruelty

Dawdlers (down the middle of supermarket aisles, one-way streets, etc)

Hand-wringers who’d prefer to do the ‘woe is me’ dance for years, rather than take some simple steps to resolve a situation (and put us all out of their misery).

Sticky/grimy handles on sinks or cabinets.

Chronic lack of punctuality, when other people have expended extra effort for the group.

Quite a few things, clearly Grin

Littering
Not picking dog poo up

Cyclists WHO CYCLE IN PAIRS

People who don't understand the Highway Code. Example above!

Hand-wringers who’d prefer to do the ‘woe is me’ dance for years, rather than take some simple steps to resolve a situation (and put us all out of their misery).

and OMG THIS!! Basically anyone repeatedly moaning about a situation that they have the power to change or control

EsterOdesavitch · 14/09/2020 06:46

Utterly unnecessary bitch-plopping (when an MN or FB post is quite clearly lighthearted or tongue-in-cheek). Such arrogance makes my innards boil with rage.

Also, the sound of my lovely DH's eating, swallowing and breathing. He eats like a horse eating an apple through a letterbox, swallows his own saliva loudly and always does a self-important little sniff afterwards, and at night in the dark breathes really fast.

But I am also perimenopausal like many PPs, so I think the poor sod's existence is driving me mental at the moment. I really hope my irritability levels decline when the hormones balance out, I'm already on HRT.

Dog mess on the streets - gets worse as the nights get darker too. Take a torch you lazy fuckers.

Littering.

Cyclists on pavements.

Baby Jake on Cbeebies.

Burnthurst187 · 14/09/2020 06:53

Vehicles blocking 100% of the footpath, had two in a week so I have to take the pushchair into the road

KatherineJaneway · 14/09/2020 06:55

Weavers. They look like they are heading to one barrier to tap in but at the very last second they swerve to the one you are heading for Angry

WhoWants2Know · 14/09/2020 06:58

People who let their cats, dogs, rabbits pregnant instead of neutering. "Just one litter"

PhilCornwall1 · 14/09/2020 07:04

My 18 and 13 year old boys. They've morphed into complete tossers over the last couple of months.

Piglet89 · 14/09/2020 07:05

@KatherineJaneway I read your first word and was like “What?!? Some of those tapestries are stunning!”

ShinyGreenElephant · 14/09/2020 07:06

@WhoWants2Know this!! HATE it got one friend who insists its cruel not to let them have one litter... no its cruel to breed your pug who wasn't even 2, then sell off all the puppies to god knows where and go on holiday with the money, that's whats fucking cruel.

TheSultanofPingu · 14/09/2020 07:08

Cars blocking pavements forcing people into the road.

The fact that we have a completely incompetent Prime minister.

Discovering that my gym thinks it's OK for male people to use the female changing rooms – but not actually telling their women and girl members Angry

Bagpipe music

There's an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

CV threads posted outside the CV topic, and "Trending Now" is once again starting to get cluttered with them.

SantanaBinLorry · 14/09/2020 07:21

- people clicking fingers or shouting "Oi!"
The come back for these... "sorry, i dont speak dolphin" and "...oi! savaloy!" whilst walking away and leaving them to wait longer ;)

Unfortunatly Im not as quick with the quipps when my 12 yr old instantly (somehow everytime!) blames ME for something he's done wrong. It's my fault he kung-fu kicked the telly because of where I put it in the room. RAAAAAAAGE!

Somanysocks · 14/09/2020 07:49

All the usual things plus -

The man who won't cut back his conifers that are growing out blocking the pavement which also has a lampost which means you risk hitting your head if you try to walk inbetween.

And ndn who are growing cannabis in the back garden next to adjoining fence so that my garden always stinks of it too, on top of the stink when they're smoking it out there.

ShebaShimmyShake · 14/09/2020 07:59

When anyone says that women are as bad as men. I don't mind someone complaining about his terrible ex, and it's entirely possible that the worst individual you know is a woman. But no, women as a class simply do not attack, harass, objectify and kill men to anywhere near the same degree that men as a class do to women.

Being called Dear.... I.Have.Not.Got.Fucking.Antlers!
