@Inappropriatefemale

People that overhear conversations on public transport and put their 2 pence in because they heard something they don’t agree with! It boils my blood!Angry
Meant to add it’s esp annoying as it’s usually older people doing it to much younger folks, it’s like they feel entitled to do so simply because they are older and therefore feel like they know best...piss off and keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself.

We tried those but she burst through the zips!

@JesusInTheCabbageVan

Noisy snorting smacky kissing in films. Car engine idling (although I very much regard that as my business, as it's helping to fuck up a planet I happen to live on) 'Chaps and chapesses ' People who want to see me on Skype calls (no, I have chocolate round my mouth and I haven't brushed my hair in three days.)
Chaps and chapesses?? Surely not.

All the utter arseholes on my local Facebook page

Whining little bitches the lot of them

keekss · 16/09/2020 21:08

People who load their shopping on the checkout conveyor belt and don't put the divider down for the next person behind them.

keekss · 16/09/2020 21:09

And holly willoughby and Phil Schofield

What about elastic laces? You can cut them to size to give her the stretch she needs.

I bought these. In black, white and red for various shoes

cologne4711 · 16/09/2020 21:09

People who use the phrase 'Karen'. Its just another way of telling women to sit down and shut up

Yes.

OchonAgusOchonO · 16/09/2020 21:10

People who stop to chat to the driver of the car coming against them on narrow country roads and then take ages to move on when I come up behind one of them.

TheVamoosh · 16/09/2020 21:10

Uncomfortable and impractical clothes on babies and toddlers. Like a collared shirt and flat cap on a baby boy, or those patent leather Mary Janes on a toddler girl. Small children need clothes they can play, run and nap in, without any uncomfortable seams and buttons.

On the other hand, I also think it's horribly lazy to keep babies in babygros with feet on them both day and night until they start walking! 😅 Those are pyjamas!

OchonAgusOchonO · 16/09/2020 21:10

Tractor drivers who won't pull in to let pass.

goose1964 · 16/09/2020 21:11

People who have unnatural frozen faces, just relax about getting older, you're not fooling anyone.

Reubenshat · 16/09/2020 21:11

My best friend not leaving her dick head dh

Pregnant women smoking.

Yes to Phil & holly

I did that until my eldest was about 6 months old. I didn't know they were meant to be pyjamas. The name doesn't suggest it, nor does the american term (romper suit).

I did the same for dc 2 and 3. I knew they were pyjamas then but I didn't care as they are so practical. It's not like they managed to keep the same one clean for longer than a couple of hours anyway.

[quote Justpickaname]@mamanrose did it maybe occur to you that some women chose not to breast feed due to personal issues such as body image issues, fear or lack of confidence because of previous experiences, embarrassment of having to expose their breast?
I Think you're being very judgmental.[/quote]
Yes just like some women choose to get Botox and fillers etc and choose to do every other thing mentioned on this thread that people are criticising

cologne4711 · 16/09/2020 21:17

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

To have an afternoon nap (and no, that's not a euphemism for a shag)

mamanrose · 16/09/2020 21:17

@ScarMatty

People like *@mamanrose* who clearly has a very sad little life. But I guess people like that don't necessarily annoy me, I just feel bad that they think in such a way; what a horrible life to live.
I bet you formula fed
MrsTolerance · 16/09/2020 21:18

Personalised number plates, artificial lawns, men with no interest in football, phone calls which could have been a text

The mum in my area who does a full face of towie style make up and eyelashes for her 11 year old

AdoptedBumpkin · 16/09/2020 21:24

Certain women with connections to my village who think they are really tough because they live out in the wilds. Chances are they would be eaten alive in a rough city, especially with their unjustified superiority complex.

KitKat1985 · 16/09/2020 21:25

Oh fuck everything annoys me:

People smoking when pregnant or around children.
Women who describe themselves as "full time mummies".
Any MLM type scheme and the bloody annoying posts all about it on social media.
People who don't wear their facemasks properly.
People that don't say thank you when you give way to them when driving.
Babies and young children with pierced ears.
People that share completely false right-wing crap on social media (you know the type of crap, things like Christmas won't be celebrated this year in case it offends minorities).
My colleague who seems to take all day to do a simple task that should only take 30 minutes.
Group Whatsapp conversations where I regularly have to trawl through 20-30 posts of stupid memes, thumbs up signs and love hearts to find any actual useful information related to the purpose of the group.
Sandwiches in supermarkets which look really nice but when you take them out the packet find they have hardly any filling in.
People who use the petrol pumps and then stay there blocking other car users from using the pumps whilst they spend 20 minutes in the shop before paying for their bloody petrol and moving their car.

Mammabear23 · 16/09/2020 21:29

@MintyMabel oh crap. I dread this happening!

Millie2013 · 16/09/2020 21:33

The “stationary” drawer in one of the classrooms at DD’s school.

They are having sex
