I also don’t like long dirty fingernails on children. Or snotty noses/chocolate round their mouths for ages after they’ve finished eating. It’s so grubby

Mothers who do not breastfeed

I hate the whole idea of utterly ridiculous gender reveal parties. Anyway.....they should be called "sex reveal parties" ..but that's a whole other thread 😂😂😂

Brieminewine · 16/09/2020 18:10

Kids playing out after school but still in their uniform, don’t know why but I just think it’s so chavvy!

@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 did not know about this!!!

Flowers left at the scene of an accident still in the cellophane. You can't see the flowers and a week later there's a pile of muddy litter blowing around.

CareBear50 · 16/09/2020 18:15

People that can't have a conversation without peppering every sentence with swear words and blasphemy.....it is so common!

@Gancanny

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.

I don't judge the child, I judge the parents.

If a child is overweight as a side effect of a disability then I can see that my thoughts might be unfair, but I see many fat children and I doubt that they all have a disability.

auyi · 16/09/2020 18:15

People who talk non stop about themselves and only themselves and if you try and get a word in they will loudly talk over you and carry on draining on about themselves. Me me me. I have both a next door neighbour who I now hide from because of this and a colleague who I also try and avoid. It's so fucking ignorant and I haven't got time for that sort of people.

garlictwist · 16/09/2020 18:16

I hate seeing people drinking energy drinks in the morning. I feel like they've already given up on the day and admitted defeat. I know that's weird.

@ALLIS0N

Wait, I need to know - Why is finding out the sex of a baby so annoying to a good portion of posters here? 😐

It’s the not the finding out that annoys people . It’s

Telling everyone else and expecting them to be ecstatic, when they all knew already that the baby was a boy or a girl.
Having parties, events and reveals and expecting others to attend and bring gifts
Calling it gender when they mean sex
The nasty and predictable stereotyping involved “ oh a little princess for mummy “ “ oh a strong boy to play football with daddy/ be a Man U supporter “
The obscene amount of money spent on designer accessories, furniture and buggies “ for the baby “ when it’s in fact for the parents as the baby certainly doesn’t care. And expecting everyone else to gush about it.

THIS !!!!

And that they refer to the gender, not the sex.

A couple I know who earn well over £100k between them, have a reasonable mortgage payment and yet CONSTANTLY complain about being skint. Unless they are snorting it I have no idea where there money goes.

Re: curtains, perhaps they are trying to keep the heat off the room OR up to something naughty 😆

IDontDrinkTea · 16/09/2020 18:18

The neighbours at number 5 park their car outside number 7 because they don’t like parking outside their own house as they say it spoils the view. This bugs me so much, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with me. In fact, whenever I have guests I tell them to park outside number 5 as part of my small rebellion 😂

The80sweregreat · 16/09/2020 18:19

Auyi, I hear you ! 😊
I've got to endure dinner with someone like this soon : my supervisor is like this too : me me me! Oh, let's talk about me..
your news is terribly boring. ! We all know these types or related to them! ( my sil is another one😆)

tsmainsqueeze · 16/09/2020 18:20

People who say - can i get ? ie in a bar, coffee shop .
People who show their hauls on you tube , how can they afford it ? , where do they put it ? - and yet i find them strangely fascinating .
The people who live in a house at the back of my garden that have dark blinds at every window that are never ,ever open, even in a heatwave , windows shut too .

Orphlids · 16/09/2020 18:22

Women who breastfeed with a big cover over the baby as though it’s something to be ashamed of.

Hugsgalore · 16/09/2020 18:22

Women wearing baseball caps

The80sweregreat · 16/09/2020 18:22

I shut my blinds in summer to keep out the sun because the sun and very hot weather is my bete noir! I wished it would stay out of my business of trying to stay cold! .. 😊

People not indicating....drives me 🤬

Men - it's always men - who choose not to park in a designated parking bay in the supermarket car park whilst waiting for their wives who shop. Instead, they lurk close to the door for a quick getaway like some sort of bank heist.

RobinlovesCormoran · 16/09/2020 18:29

Low slung jeans and what I call mushroom haircuts on teenage boys. And why do they dress all in black?

areyoubeingserviced · 16/09/2020 18:30

Drivers who don’t thank you when you have let them go past

Go fund me requests seeking to raise ridiculous amounts ( eg 30k for a funeral during lockdown)

People who take up the whole pavement

People who don’t look after their front gardens
