Calling vegan food vegan chicken, vegan bacon, vegan cheese.

Plant based milks; it isn't fecking milk.

I'm on a roll now Blush

Carl and Deborah having fat sex/exercising with their curtains closed!

loobyloo1234 · 16/09/2020 16:13

People that decide they dont want something whilst in the supermarket and leave random food in the wrong aisle rather than take it back

wheresthedoobrey · 16/09/2020 16:14

Yes, I agree. Wait until the child is old enough to decide whether they want holes in their ears! x

SVRT19674 · 16/09/2020 16:14

People who rant about others finding out the sex of their own baby
People who say gender when they mean sex
People who fill their FB with anti Government_Opposition party hysterical commentary
People who go into the 2020 politically correct bullshit vocabulary
People who police others' pregnancies
People who consider themselves very sincere when they are just rude losers with no filter
People who when you have been sick, they have been sicker..likewise with any other subject
People who occupy one and a half lanes on the road
People who don´t signal on roundabouts
People who consider first cousins distant family
People who moan about other people´s kids going into pubs
People who park crooked
Honestly some of the ones on this thread have me in stitches...

@Dawny65

A group of teenage girls, lined up for a photo on a night out. Why do they all stand sideways with their knees bent? Some of them look as though they're almost in the pooping position! Makes not a jot of difference to my life, but still annoys me..
I actually laughed out loud at this 😂
feistyoneyouare · 16/09/2020 16:16

Sizeist comments like some that have been made on here

fairydustandpixies · 16/09/2020 16:18

@sapnupuas I'm probably your neighbour - because the sun shines on my tv for that hour and I can't see the buggery thing unless I close the curtains and 😂

iloveeverykindofcat · 16/09/2020 16:19

"Speech marks" on "signs" for no "reason".

leiaskye · 16/09/2020 16:20

Adults on scooters

Cars parked outside my house (long road, with loads of space not outside anyone’s house)

Thick painted on eyebrows

Lip fillers

Drivers not indicating

Seeing young small children sitting in the car without a booster.

Nando’s. I don’t even go, but the price they charge for just chicken!

LanaDelBoy · 16/09/2020 16:20

@OverTheRubicon

When strangers on the tube are wearing jackets that still have the little X at the back that holds together the back flap, which you're meant to unpick after buying it.

So incredibly unimportant to niggle me so much. I might even be posting here in the hope that it makes somebody check the back of their jacket and fix it 😳

I'm with you, this drives me absolutely crazy. The fact I've managed to never say anything to anyone about it is one of my life's greatest achievements!

It's ALL THE TIME as well!

attillathenun · 16/09/2020 16:20

Another one from recent observations- people who come on Mumsnet to ask about weaning their baby. Baby isn’t 6 months and/or showing the signs, but thought they’d come on Mumsnet to check with someone with no medical experience just in case instead of checking the NHS advice 😑

leiaskye · 16/09/2020 16:21

Men going round the supermarket with no shirt on. I don’t care how hot it is, I don’t want to see your beer belly or your nipples!

Ishihtzuknot · 16/09/2020 16:21

People who decide to drive at 30mph on a 40/50 road then speed up when the road is 20/30. Also the same people that don’t bother indicating. (Story of my life on the school run)

SerenDippitty · 16/09/2020 16:22

My neighbours closing their curtains randomly for an hour or so during the day (usually about now). Why? Why are they doing this?

My house faces west so I draw close the curtains of our bedroom on summer afternoons to stop it getting too hot.

It makes me angry when people won’t move out of the way when I’m trying to photograph a nice view.

stoneysongs · 16/09/2020 16:24

So-called left-leaning liberal and socialist types, who vocally support all the right and noble causes, but send their kids to private school.

This is my brother. He also lies about going to university on his Facebook profile.

In addition: lip fillers, fashionable eyebrows, men wearing jeans with smart black shoes. Posts on here that start "you do realise..." or "you do know that..."

My neighbours, who will park outside my house when there's space outside theirs, to leave room for their second car.

leiaskye · 16/09/2020 16:24

Boy racers bombing around with really loud popping exhausts. I know that’s how they are supposed to sound, but they sound to me like there’s a hole in it, & need to visit the garage!

Plus they seem to think speed = cool, travelling at 50 in a 30.

Yerroblemom1923 · 16/09/2020 16:24

My comment wasn't a fat shaming thing, someone commented about closing curtains to exercise as she felt she was fat. I don't really care about anyone of any size having sex/exercising/closing curtains!

Lululemming · 16/09/2020 16:25

Everybody who gets an adult dog says they have "rescued" them, who are you? Fireman Sam

Ellmau · 16/09/2020 16:26

People smoking anywhere they then breathe it on me. Espeically in queues/waiting to cross the road.

Cyclists cycling ILLEGALLY and unsafely on the pavement, who then have the nerve to say thank you when I leap out of the way. Er, I've done it out of self preservation, not to do you a favour!

Food manufacturers who CHANGE THE RECIPE of what was your favourite thing ever. Or discontinue it.

People who don't read signs. Or your e-mail.

vanillandhoney · 16/09/2020 16:26

Big headbands on babies.
Children messing about on bikes/scooters in car parks.
People not picking up after their dogs.
Drivers who don't say thank you when you let them past on narrow lanes.
Attention-seeking Facebook statuses.
Littering.
People who let their dogs act like dicks in public and don't apologise for it.

iMatter · 16/09/2020 16:27

People who can't park properly

Double barreled surnames

UnaCorda · 16/09/2020 16:29

People who don't proofread their posts, so don't notice that autocorrect has turned what they've written to gobbledygook.

Hiddenmnetter · 16/09/2020 16:32

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

Must be really fucked off by all those parents in Australia, USA, Canada and NZ where that's the standard advice. And when the NHS changes it's advice back to 4 months you'll be even more enraged...

MumChats · 16/09/2020 16:32

[quote Reclinehard]@helplessprocrastinator I used to find baby on board signs weird but DP's colleague told him it's so paramedics would know to look for a baby if we were in a car crash. [/quote]
Won't they know from the car seat? Or are you meant to place and remove the sign depending on if your baby is actually travelling with you each time!
