Things that annoy you that are none of your business

Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

And what sort of accident do you think is going to befall them? Sitting inside a trolly? And do you think it's actually less safe than them walking around?

You need it pointing out to you how it can be dangerous having a toddler in a trolley? I’ve seen a few attempting to stand up in them, it makes me wince.

You saw a toddler stand up?

Jesus, how did you cope? I hope you sought therapy

Trollies in shops are just movable germs!
Horrid things.

People who say Haitch.

People who say ink, as in somethink

Actually this IS my business, especially when it’s a teacher. What happened to primary-school teachers? Back in the 70s my teachers were Miss Read types or trendy long-haired types with flares. But none of them would have said Haitch [shudder]

Just haven’t been able to face going back in a supermarket, 7 years it’s been. Thanks for your concern though 🙏

children in trolleys

We sometimes had to put DD in the trolley because idiots had vandalised the trolley for kids with disabilities.

Flip flops or sandals with manky toes, or unvarnished toe nails

The Neighbourhood Watch twat over the road who has an All Lives Matter sign in his window.

People who don’t take out travel insurance who then create Gofundme/JustGiving accounts when they get ill or have an accident on holiday.

Genital reveal parties.

Girls dressed head to toe in pink including a t-shirt with "daddy's little princess" or similar in gold glitter, a frilly headband and a dummy clip with pink beads.

Related to the above - all the shops that only sell pink and/or frilly stuff for girls with hearts or cutesy slogans on and blue/brown stuff for boys with dinosaurs or vehicles on.

People who say "my bad". That's not an apology numb nuts!

My neighbour who smokes at the bottom of her garden so the stench wafts into my garden and house.

People who play loud music.

Cyclists trying to get themselves killed by not following any rules of the road, having no protective gear or lights and dressing all in black.

People who never trim their nails or clean under them. My father-in-law is a keen gardener and heavy smoker and doesn't own a pair of nail clippers. I can't bear looking at his hands.

People who mock the Aussie accent. What did we do to offend you??

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm an intolerant bastard.

People who don't have any plants in their garden, just grass up to the perimeter fence. Not even a pot on the patio. I don't know these people but see their houses on rightmove or property programmes.

When overpriced properties don't sell and the vendors wail at the unfairness of why their house isn't shifting - "Identical number 12 sold for £200,000 in February, why isn't anyone snapping ours up at £250,000?" On MN, in real life... I have this urge to shout IT'S THE PRICE STUPID every bloody time.

Genital reveal parties

People who give their daughters names that have May, Mai, Mae, Ray, Rai or Rae in them.

People who argue with the bus driver so that you have to sit at the bus stop for an age.

The fact that my ex husband has the audacity to still be breathing

Friends who agree to plans then cry off at the last minute with some insipid excuse.

Corporate types who strut around clutching a Starbucks cup and using phrases like "touch base" "turnaround" and "reach out"

My stepchildren's mother

People who wear masks under their nose. What's the frigging point of wearing it at all?

Cold callers. FUCK OFF

Roblox. Like crack for kids I rue the day it was invented.

Doctors who glaze over when you tell them about your symptoms, don't listen or think of you as an individual and make a blanket diagnosis like stress or fibromyalgia without doing the proper investigations.

I have more but I'd be here all night 🤪 that was actually super cathartic 😂

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.

And this is why I replaced all of DS1s laces with elastic laces. He's got monster feet (size 4) so velcro is no longer an option. Nor is teaching him to tie them at the moment (fine motor issues). For about £15 to do two pairs of Converse, school shoes and rugby boots, we have no battle, no faff, and no danger of them coming undone.

People who claim their kids eat every single veg.

I was an incredibly fussy eater as a child but loved all veg. Sometimes my mother couldn't be bothered with another fight or wanted to cook something the rest of my family liked so would just give me a plate of veg and a hunk of cheddar for dinner. I still eat every veg going but also enjoy some carbs and other protein too.

Oh yes ‘ Can I get?’ I don’t know, can you? How about ‘I’d like...’

FortyFifty - worse is no grass at all! I live in a suburban area with plenty of parking, so no need for tarmacing the front garden. Yet walking around the neighbourhood I see all these gardens completely covered with tarmac, every last millimetre. No hedges - usually a nasty plastic fence. Or they have those shiny grey chippings you find in graves.

It completely gives me the rage. Why don’t these people go and live in the Barbican if they hate greenery so much? The prat opposite actually hoovers with a hand-held thing his drive twice a day.

Parents carrying their DC's bags to and from school. Nothing to do with me, and it only ever affected me when one of mine were at the age of bringing friends home with him, and little George or Josh would expectantly hold out all his gear for me to take off his hands - I think not, sonny.

Children dressed as adults

Competitive parenting

Fair weather dog walkers

Kids watching "unboxing" videos on YouTube.

My over the road neighbour who cleans his car and mows his lawn every single day. Just why?

All the year 3,4,5&6s playing Fortnite!!! Or should I say the parents‘ of?

Oh, also, parents who park stupidly when doing the school pick up, like literally on the roundabout or across the entrance to the school, just so their precious darlings don't have to walk to the car.

Allotments
Names like Nevaeh
bad grammar

Sweary, shouty parents

Incorrect mask wearing (debatable if its not my business)

Shouty, ruee, disobedient children
