@Therarestone

Posts of peoples dinners.

Posts of their run.

The word meal.

Ugh I don’t like ‘meal’ either.

Litter on the streets, in the countryside, anywhere, especially cigarette ends. Makes me feel sick. Dirty lazy people.

Smokers especially around their kids.

Women who call their partners 'my man', makes me cringe.

People who call someone 'snowflakes or 'sheep!!! as an insult! So pathetic.

My cat who when wants a fuss taps me but forgets to put her claws in 😅

'treating or pampering' yourself - kids get treats, not adults.

'little' families

not staying in your lane on a roundabout

parking over 2 spaces to 'mind' your car

slow walkers

ohmercy · 16/09/2020 23:08

People who say "I'm not keen..." on whatever food. Just say you don't like it!!!

Also when people say "can I steal a chip?" JUST SAY " COULD I HAVE ONE?"

Mansplaining

"PM me hun" on Facebook

An actress on a tv programme I'm watching

Competitive tiredness (FFS FIL!!)

MLM shite.

I could go on and on...

jakeyboy1 · 16/09/2020 23:13

People on meetings who say "who's going to take responsibility for this then"

IT'S YOUR FUCKING MEETING / YOUR ISSUE - YOU SORT IT OUT!

ohmercy · 16/09/2020 23:14

Oh and fuckers who can absolutely use the stairs/escalator but instead take the lift so that people with wheelchairs/mobility aids/prams etc have to wait 😡

@sapnupuas

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

My boss breathing.

polarbearoverthere · 16/09/2020 23:20

This thread is fantastic.

polarbearoverthere · 16/09/2020 23:21

People who say “jump on a zoom call”, DP included

Barton10 · 16/09/2020 23:22

My neighbours who are living in a 3 bed Housing Association house and neither work having their sixth baby.

RightOnTheEdge · 16/09/2020 23:24

When the OP says "things annoy you that are none of your business" but then people post things that do affect them and so actually are their business.

joell75 · 16/09/2020 23:28

Taking a noun and making it into a verb - see 'snacking', 'gifting' and ' napping'.

Teachers.

SionnachRua · 16/09/2020 23:32

Accents that add an -er sound to words really get on my tits. Particularly around names - no, Aoife isn't pronounced Eefer. She's Eefa Hmm Ditto f in place of th sounds.

Knockoff luxury brand items. Everyone knows it's fake if you're flashing a new Chanel bag every day of the week, hun.

ScarMatty · 16/09/2020 23:33

@kerrymucklowe2020

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
Haha! Are you the person that stopped me in the street when DS was 6 months who in freezing weather had nothing on his hands so you gave me a stern talking to?!
parmahampam · 16/09/2020 23:33

‘Shop the edit here’ on websites selling clothes and such.

So wanky.

@carlywurky my MIL does this when she drives away, along with OTT ridiculous flapping of her hand out the window

I love her and we get on great but this really irritates me 😄

Oh there's no pretending. I do genuinely feel bad for someone who has such a thought process

I doubt it. That sort of passive aggressive nonsense is rarely genuine feeling. It tends to be a way of sanctimoniously virtue signalling while actually being judgemental and nasty.

Own your annoyance. You dislike people who think others should breastfeed. Just don't dress it up as something it's not.

Sex scenes in films that are very explicit/nearing pornography.

I just don't get why they need to be so raunchy and don't like it, a passionate snog is fine, we all know where it's going to lead!

honeygirlz · 16/09/2020 23:57

People who press the open lift button just as the doors are closing.

Oh what the hell, people who rock up to the lift just in time after I’ve been waiting ages for it.

It makes me seethe. Is that really bad?

LightUpLetters · 16/09/2020 23:58

Cheap car seats or car seats that are too big for the child’s age.

Lazy parents who give in to their children for an easy life, it teaches them nothing.

ill fitting children’s shoes

I couldn't agree more with this. Why is it needed?😂 I’ve skipped so much in Vikings because it's like a porno most of the times.
