People who really, really love Disney

Wall decals with live love laugh or similar

Descriptions on Facebook Marketplace...like ‘chester drawers’

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!

Nooooo same as PP i had my son in these until he was about 6 months old! I didn't take him out in them though but i thought they were perfect for in the house. Lightweight, comfortable, easy for nappy changes. I just hate seeing babies in uncomfortable clothes!

Big cars.
Energy drinks.
False nails.

I obviously have no standards then. Mine were only out of babygros in the first 6 months if it was something special, like a wedding.. I did have slightly posher looking babygros for going visiting and stuff though, if that redeems me in any way Grin.

And I'm with you on the impractical/uncomfortable clothes.

So let's add people who give ridiculous clothes as presents to babies and then expect to see them wearing them. I'm specifically thinking of the dress one of the in-laws gave my crawling daughter. Luckily she was on carpet the one time she wore it and caught her knee on it and ended up face first on the floor.

Keep the thread nice(ish) please.

Pre-schoolers at the park in long dresses while the boys are in comfortable clothes that don't hinder play

@Orphlids

When you go to see a Shakespeare comedy, and some members of the audience laugh much too loudly at every joke, no matter how unfunny. It tends to be men in their fifties. We all know they’ve heard the joke a thousand times, and we all know the joke certainly isn’t funny enough to make anyone laugh out loud. But they do it to let everyone around them know that they’ve understood it, even though it’s Shakespeare, so they must be dead clever!

More recently... Heavy breathers on skype/Teams calls at work. Just mute your bloody microphone!! Gah!

Yes!! I attend several calls a week where the guy sounds like he’s out running and is out of breath. I always think what the fuck are you doing?

All mine wore babygros for at least the first six months. I don’t like seeing babies in “outfits”, I inwardly judge the parents for cramming their tiny limbs into uncomfortable tights and little shirts like mini adults. Babygros all the way.

kennycat · 16/09/2020 22:22

Fat people (usually teenagers but not always) wearing shorts that are shorter than my pants. I wish their friends would tell them they look awful.

WeWantTheFinestWines · 16/09/2020 22:24

People who drive 40mph on a perfectly good A road.
Hair bands on babies
Parents who walk their children in a harness like they're dogs
People who fill up the kettle for one cup

WhatDoIDooDIoDtahW · 16/09/2020 22:24

Those frilly, personalised, cheap-colour-pink or cheap-colour-blue silky, lacy, death hazard accessories people put on their baby prams. How much of a chav do you need to be to think that looks.. what, nice? Cool? Sweet? Cute? WHAT?!

Shizzlestix · 16/09/2020 22:26

Balloon releases. Helium balloons. Chinese lantern releases. Just stop, it’s dangerous for wildlife and shit for the environment.

Bosses sending like 10 emails after hours. Fuck off, nobody is dying (in my job) and this can wait til we’re actually in work.

nevernotstruggling · 16/09/2020 22:27

Any long dresses on little children.

Naticus · 16/09/2020 22:27

People that screenshot images to share instead of saving them.

Notanapplelover · 16/09/2020 22:28

@sapnupuas

Karl and Debs indulge in afternoon delights every single day?

Animals.

...and for an hour!!!
Thurmanmurman · 16/09/2020 22:33

Animal ears/nose filters. No you don't look cute, you look like a dick. Also constant fundraising on FB, if you want to do a triathlon and boast about it then go ahead, but let's not pretend you're doing it for charidee Angry

CostaCosta · 16/09/2020 22:33

Lone walkers who make you and small toddlers cross the road/jump in a hedge to abide by social distancing rules.

CostaCosta · 16/09/2020 22:36

When people imply they have invented something. I saw something about "at Christmas, I get something to wear, something to read..." made it seem like they had come up with the idea. Ohhh and the Christmas book advents. We all know about them, it is not your idea. And finally, in lockdown when people made mcdonalds boxes and set up a drive through and then posted it on fbook. Not your idea.

Credenhill22 · 16/09/2020 22:36

Other people's children...

kerrymucklowe2020 · 16/09/2020 22:37

Babies / toddlers in pushchairs and bare feet/ hands in cold weather.
Ditto in snowsuits and wooly hats in warm weather
And babies / toddlers with NO sun protection and parents / carers put them in forward facing pushchairs so the sun is in their eyes
People who smoke and / or let their dogs in playgrounds

Therarestone · 16/09/2020 22:41

Posts of peoples dinners.

Posts of their run.

The word meal.

People who weave when walking so you can never get past them.

Dithering - just get on with it!

People who try and push in a queue
