Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

Couples walking down the street when she is pushing a baby in a buggy with loads of heavy shopping hanging off the handles, a large bag over her shoulder and dragging a a toddler. While he holds A Phone.

MJMG2015 · 16/09/2020 14:24

@TheTrollFairy

People who use the name Karen (or similar) as an insult

People who take forever to move when you are obviously giving way to them

I have another but I would get flamed for it!

Oh come on - indulge us!!!

^^
God yes - and you see them on the trains too - bloke goes and takes a seat all alone with his phone, while she grapples with buggy, toddler and shopping.

People who park next to me in an almost empty carpark. Why do they do it?!

Spied · 16/09/2020 14:25

Using 'My bad'. WTF?

Thesearmsofmine · 16/09/2020 14:25

I have a couple more.

People posting something vague as a Facebook status so that others will respond ask what is wrong. If you have something to say just spit it out or if you don’t want to share then don’t post at all.

Those Facebook posts where they say my real friends will share this.

Influencers sharing every detail of their child’s lives for all the see.

TheDuchessofMalfy · 16/09/2020 14:25

So many of mine have been said - except for “picking you nose in the car” which is perfectly reasonable Grin

TheDuchessofMalfy · 16/09/2020 14:25

Have we had people who park across two spaces?

JamNutellaOrHoney · 16/09/2020 14:26

People who dress their little girls in school dresses with bare legs, ankle socks and open shoes on chilly autumn/winter days, but their boys are in trousers with proper covered shoes.

DuchessOfAmbridge · 16/09/2020 14:26

People describing things as marmite or binary.

MondeoFan · 16/09/2020 14:27

People that smoke when heavily pregnant.

Cars that go around corners without their indicator on.

Middle Lane Hoggers

People driving cars in car parks generally.

percheron67 · 16/09/2020 14:27

People who don't say thank you to a courtesy. Long dog leads (so dangerous). Drivers who donlt slow down for horses. People saying Haitch. People using their fork as a spoon. Talking with mouth full. The rude woman who stopped outside my house this week to collect from the "freebie" box and mentioned that she had thought about polishing the brass plate by my front door!!!

giantangryrooster · 16/09/2020 14:28

That no matter what subject on MN, within the first ten or so posts there will be a diagnosis. Depression, narcissism, dementia, all kinds of Sen.

Helocariad · 16/09/2020 14:28

People who don't use apostrophes properly. Really annoys me. People who confuse bought and brought.

myusernamewastakenbyme · 16/09/2020 14:29

People who get involved with MLM scams and then call themselves a small business....newsflash...its not a business its a pyramid scheme hun !!!
My friend who copies and pastes all the shite you can possibly imagine on Facebook...its cringeworthy.
Finally...people usually overweight tattooed women wearing vest tops with huge flappy labels hanging out at the back...check in the mirror before you go out ffs.

tillytoodles1 · 16/09/2020 14:30

Watching How Clean is Your House. It drives me mad that people who are too lazy to clean up their own mess get the professionals in FOC, just because they're bone idle. And I always think theze people must stink too, and are made to shower and wear clean clothes too.

MondeoFan · 16/09/2020 14:30

People that start giving their babies food at 3 or 4 months and think it's acceptable to do so.

People that say my child is potty trained when they are only 12 months.

People that constantly ask you why you are still breastfeeding and banging on about the baby not getting any nutrition from it even though the baby is only 10 months old.

MyCatHatesEverybody · 16/09/2020 14:30

People who hold their knife in their left hand and fork in their right hand.

The phrase "my/our little family."

Martine McCutcheon.

IhateBoswell · 16/09/2020 14:31

Children in shopping trolleys what? Why?!

I meant in the actual trolley part, not the seat. I’m always worried there will be an accident rather than hygiene reasons.

nettytree · 16/09/2020 14:32

[quote awsomer]@nettytree how do you feel about sandals?[/quote]
Sandals are fine. Just flip flops annoy me.

Batfinklestein · 16/09/2020 14:33

@rosiethehen Are you me?! I have genuinely laughed out loud at that. Especially "people who have too many relatives" Grin

I would like to add, people who put every single thing they do on Facebook. No none cares that you went to Costa and had a great latte this morning, Gary!
And happiness coaches. FFS.

CornflakeMum · 16/09/2020 14:34

People who call their pets "my furbabies"

Kids on scooter/ roller skates in supermarkets or shopping centres

BaitandSwitch · 16/09/2020 14:35

Men going topless (except on the beach). I don't care how fit you look (or in a lot of cases clearly not fit) but please put your top back on. I think it's really tasteless and any decent man with class would not do it.

jojobar · 16/09/2020 14:36

thought of some more:

women describing themselves as BossBabe or CEO - when basically they're shilling Juice Plus or some other MLM

Balloons (the nitrous ones) and the dumbasses who use them then leave the bloody canisters everywhere

Men wearing loafers and shorts
Men wearing any shoes with no socks, especially if teamed with ankle grazer trousers

Neck tattoos
Face tattoos

Performance parents

Parents who let their kids play (unsafely) in the street rather than taking them to the park

People who are hopelessly lax with their personal security - basically advertising where they live, where kids go to school, when they've bought a new house/ car, etc etc. Including having your company's registered office/ address as director as your home address.

RedWine123 · 16/09/2020 14:36

When people tell me about the “really weird dream” they had last night. So boring and pointless!!!
