People that feed their kids shit 24/7 (not just a lot of treats or some days, like true lazy fuckers that feed their kids shit). People that underdress their babies ( not toddlers little kids that refuse to wear socks/jackets, but true idiots that put nothing on their baby but wear a jacket themselves). People that go on and on about kids manners, as if their kid is the height of sophistication because they say yes and thank you even though they are little shits.

@TheQueef - Thanks so much for the update, I can rest now. Same again tomorrow?

MintyMabel · 16/09/2020 17:16

DP's colleague told him it's so paramedics would know to look for a baby if we were in a car crash.

People who actually believe this bullshit.

TheQueef · 16/09/2020 17:16

Aye I'm up early to check on number six an their complete disregard of the milk law.

The80sweregreat · 16/09/2020 17:17

Someone in Tesco was trying to describe wrapping on something to someone on a phone call who clearly didn't have a clue what was going on.! ' what do you want me to get then? '
It is annoying isn't it? None of my business of course!

Benjispruce2 · 16/09/2020 17:19

Drivers that don’t indicate.
Young children that can’t tie laces wearing school shoes with laces.
Pouty FB shots if you’re no longer 16.

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 16/09/2020 17:20

More:
People who leave a mess around the kettle and sink at work. Leave it as you found it, FFS.

Fly tipping.

Kids who kick fungi to pieces for the hell of it. Just leave them alone, they're fascinating, you won't die from looking at it even if it is a death cap.

deffonamechange · 16/09/2020 17:22

Beards!!!! Unless you are over 70.

Benjispruce2 · 16/09/2020 17:22

Oh fly tipping!!!!! Angry Just littering in general actually makes my blood boil. Who do these people think they are???

rosecakequeen · 16/09/2020 17:25

Parents that choose to ignore their children's bad behaviour in public spaces. What's wrong with teaching your child how to behave in public?

Ellmau · 16/09/2020 17:25

Novels written in the present tense. Especially when also in the first person.

Novels where the writer has not done their research and a plot point is impossible in the time period.

Historical fiction with anachronistic names. Dodgy dialogue I can live with pretending to myself it's a translation ;)

Accents or regional dialect written out.

Unsolicited slices of lemon in drinks. Especially when particularly requested not to have lemon.

People playing loud thumping bass, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep but really at any time.

underneaththeash · 16/09/2020 17:27

I have many;
tattoos,
vegans (especially ones who preach their apparently healthy lifestyle that is lacking in nutrients, amino acids and vitamins),
gold teeth,
spitting,
people smoking whilst pushing a buggy,
incorrect usage of apostrophes in plurals.......

yesterdayschild · 16/09/2020 17:29

People who throw litter out of the car window.
Kids singing and dancing on telly.
Dogs in stupid outfits
People who use baby voices to talk to animals.
People who look me up and down so obviously.
People at quick checkout who then spend 10 minutes searching for their purse.
People who talk so loudly in a restaurant I can here every word.
Infact just people.

rosecakequeen · 16/09/2020 17:29

People that complain about everything. I once went to a restaurant and the couple that came in just after us were moaning before they were even shown to their table. They were sat at various tables before they find one that that they liked. Then as soon as the food arrived one of the plates was sent back to the kitchen. It was almost like they went out to have a bad evening. But it's none of my business.

TheNewLook · 16/09/2020 17:30

People eating yogurt. I have to leave the room if I see this.

longtimemarried · 16/09/2020 17:30

Joggers who expect you to step into the road to allow them to pass uninterrupted on the pavement. I usually shout after them "thankyou" it makes me feel better! (how sad is that)

TheNewLook · 16/09/2020 17:31

Men in flip flops or birkenstocks. I don’t want to see their toes.

IShaggedAMarriedMan · 16/09/2020 17:32

Fat people especially fat children.

Dinosforall · 16/09/2020 17:35

People on the class Tapestry group who ask a million stupid questions because they can't read/retain the info we were all sent.

vanillandhoney · 16/09/2020 17:37

Parents who let their children run riot in shops or cafes.
Owners who let their dogs off-lead when they have no recall.
People who pick up dog poo but just dump the bags on the pavement.
Smoking indoors.
People who think that non-drinkers are boring.

Benjispruce2 · 16/09/2020 17:39

A pp just reminded me. I have enjoyed gin for 20 years or so. So that means before it was fashionable and it was good old mothers’ ruin. What’s with the ton of ice? I want to taste gin not water!!!

Gancanny · 16/09/2020 17:39

Fat people especially fat children

My child is overweight as a side effect of his disability, it cannot be helped and is being managed by his medical team, good to know he's being judged for this.

The80sweregreat · 16/09/2020 17:39

An ex rep for a tour company I met once thinks some people just go on holiday in order to complain ! Constant moaning gets me down : some people are never ever happy about anything. If I'm in earshot of constant moaning it's so annoying!

Socks and sandals on men or women although I can see why they do it even if it looks a bit silly.

Thenneverendingstorohree · 16/09/2020 17:39

Anyone doing anything less efficiently than they could

MyCatHatesEverybody · 16/09/2020 17:40

@Todaywewilldobetter apparently Home Bargains did actually used to be called Home and Bargain - I guess some people never accepted the switch (a bit like how Starburst will always remain as Opal Fruits).
