Hearing DP's brother moan about not being able to afford to move out of DP's parent's house but then him saying he's spent over a grand on something completely unnecessary.

Low level anti-social stuff like litter, dogs with crap owners, shouting swearing, drinking, smoking weed and litter from balloons, noisy neighbours etc. And then more serious stuff like kids selling drugs and junkies shooting up

Even more so that it’s people who don’t live on my street that use it for the above things and fly tipping and pissing and shitting of course. Just because it’s council doesn’t mean that residents shouldn’t be able to enjoy where they live! Angry

One guy marched over with a dog and a child and hurled a child’s bike at the balcony above the bins, it bounced off and fell on the grass. He stood there staring me in the eyes daring me to do something, I was watering my plants. And then marched back off to where he actually lives.

People being rude and inconsiderate on public transport and to retail staff

Groups that take up the whole width of the pavement, people you expect you to walk in the road and people on their phones allying a snails pace. You are not multitasking you are a zombie!

People not wearing masks properly when and where they are suppose to. It’s not for you, it’s for everyone else

Also all this anti-vac 5G Covid global conspiracy shit.

Nannewnannew · 14/09/2020 10:39

People letting the phone ring 3 times and then hanging up, NO, I’m not sat permanently by the phone, and don’t be so bloody impatient! Oh, the irony of that comment! 🤨
Drivers who tailgate make me angry.
Unexpected visitors😤

Oh yes!

And also people who spend loads of money and then complain that they don’t have any

The other half leaving his coffee bag in the sink instead of putting it straight into the bin. There's absolutely no need

Animal Cruelty
Litter droppers
People who can't control their kids in a restaurant

The phrase 'ok, boomer'
Jeremy Corbyn
Cyclists who insist on riding in the middle of the lane so overtaking is bloody difficult

All my in laws to be honest

Coronavirus and how it's taken everything from me that makes life worth living.

Onxob · 14/09/2020 11:05

My children's incessant whinging/hanging on to my leg while I'm trying to make dinner - gives me the fucking rage every time! They always end up banging their heads on a door handle or something idiotic, the crying then escalates and I have to work insanely hard not to flip my lid at the pointless stupidity of it all!

Redrosesandsunsets · 14/09/2020 11:09

Lying. Why lie, just tell the truth? I don’t understand people lying and acting like they don’t. Sad.

Mascaramademehappy · 14/09/2020 11:10

Small cars tucked right into the furthest spot of the car parking space luring you to think you have found an empty place only to discover it’s taken.

KarmaStar · 14/09/2020 11:11

Dog meat trade.disgusting.
All animal cruelty.

RunningFromInsanity · 14/09/2020 11:11

Seeing someone litter. Chucking a cigarette butt out of a car window is a particular trigger.

The world is not your ashtray you scummy bastard.

chocolatemademefat · 14/09/2020 11:11

Men who clear out their nose onto the pavement by pressing one nostril at a time and shooting snot out of the other one. Never seen a woman do that. Vile vile vile!

I think I could honestly projectile vomit over them.

onlyreadingneverposting8 · 14/09/2020 11:14

Cruelty to children and animals
Most government decisions (both Tory and labour when they were in power)
All council decisions
Schools - particularly their petty rules and uniform

Silentplikebath · 14/09/2020 11:15

People who actually question my need for a wheelchair because of illness and disability. At least they’ve moved on from telling me about their friend of a friend who was cured by a special diet!

I get angry hearing about healthcare workers and the police being assaulted. One of my DCs is hit and spat at most days and I worry about them every day while they are working hard doing their job.

TravelDreamLife · 14/09/2020 11:16

Clothes dumped in the laundry basket just after I've just put the wash on.

Parents who stop in the middle of the school drop off zone at peak time then chat to their kids/other parents for five minutes. There's a carpark right there, ffs!!!

Drivers who aren't paying attention, miss the green light, then go just before it turns red. They get through & I have to wait!

People who let their kids tear my house apart & break things, apologise, then leave me to clean it up.

Asking DH 'can you bring the washing in while I'm out'. Without fail, he forgets.

WitchQueenofDarkness · 14/09/2020 11:17

People mostly.

People who passed their driving test many years ago and don't think any changes the the Highway Code apply to them.

They are very annoying. I mean they are probably good/safe enough drivers but they need to keep up with the times and adhere to any changes. Stubbornness probably prevents them...

TheDuchessofMalfy · 14/09/2020 14:07

Everything I think!

Our current government
Misogyny in all its forms
Seeing men saunter past a long queue for the women’s toilets without a car in the world - why hasn’t this been sorted yet???
All forms of selfishness
Bad driving
When kids are unkind to each other and the parents don’t care / justify their little darling

TheDuchessofMalfy · 14/09/2020 14:08

Oh - my ex husband

Yeahnahmum · 14/09/2020 15:16

MNers that post about their cheating husbands and ask what they should do. And everyone tells them: LTB. But then op tries to backtrack and justify and patch all his lies op with "but he is such a good dad" crap. And then op ends up staying. With the miserable cheating Bastard. Envy

justanotherneighinparadise · 14/09/2020 15:18

Petty antisocial behaviour. Littering, graffiti, spitting in the streets, swearing constantly particularly in a family area, just stuff that makes it obvious you couldn’t give a shit about anyone else.
