Theres a new mum up the school who wears almost matching out fits to her daughters and it makes me unreasonable angry. Think doll costumes. On a grown woman.

The dad at my dds school who comes to parents evening dressed in exactly the same designer gear as his 15 yr old. His son always looks so embarrassed

YY. There’s one mum at our school who comes to parents evenings in really high stripper shoes, skin tight leopard print trousers and a slightly see through silky top, loads of make up and very done hair.

She makes that clip clop noise when she walks down the corridor and everyone tries not to look at her but gives her the side eye.

All the other 400 mums wear office clothes / work uniform / normal casual clothes. Her kids seems oblivious.

Incompetence/laziness, when you are at work do the job you have been trained to do as efficiently and accurately as possible. Think of the people you are assisting and do the very best you can for them; it is your job they are a customer not some random person asking you for a favour. Don't guess the answer to something, find out. Don't try and deal (badly) with a matter you have no knowledge of but escalate it to someone who does. And to all companies out there stop letting poorly trained people with little support represent your company and stop doing away with more senior team members who might actually grasp the problem and have the ability to assist, nobody wins in the end currently.
Unfortunately, training is almost nonexistent in a lot of companies, working it out for yourself is encouraged and bothering higher ups is discouraged.

He always thinks he is right on everything!!!!
I even have to google things he say sometimes to try to catch him out

He is so irritating 😠

Cryptic Facebook posts - just attention-seeking. Also women who describe themselves as ‘full-time yummy mummy’.

Pierced ears on babies.

People who walk slowly on the street and you can’t get past.

Gender reveal parties.

People that buy lovely old houses and RIP out the nice original features. Obviously I know I'm completely unreasonable as they can do as they wish.

OchonAgusOchonO · 17/09/2020 08:44

@ScarMatty - But in all seriousness, I honestly do feel bad for them. It's not a pleasant way to live to be judgemental of people for something that is often out of their control

But yet you choose to be nasty about only one judgemental attitude here. Pretty much every post on here is judgemental, many regarding things that are out of people's control. Your attitude is equally judgemental and pretty nasty. Do you feel bad for yourself too?

MrsKingfisher · 17/09/2020 08:48

Facebook groups (Trinny London being one) where the ladies feel compelled on a daily basis to share a selfie of themselves followed by a list of the make up they're wearing. More irritating is the videos of women showing their outfit of the day. It's not even the young self absorbed types it's the older ladies showing no shame. There's 2 ladies in particular that jam up the Trinny page with their bloody inane videos. I don't care if your eyeshadow matches your shoes!! You can't even hide these people so I've had to leave the group.

Obvious fake tan

Another defensive ff mum

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they formula fed. Do you honestly think your breastfeeding makes you so special that formula feeding mums instantly hate you?

I breastfed four children for two years apiece, I think your original comment was deliberately goady and had no other intention than to make yourself seem superior and others to feel inferior.

I could give a shiny shite whether someone formula feeds or breastfeeds, its not indicative of their parenting ability.

It's not that they disagreed with me, it's because they called me a 'knob' because they disagreed with me Smile

@mamanrose

I didn't call you a knob because I disagreed with your opinion, it was because someone like you who judges others for not only something that is often out of their control, but for something that is so very personal and already filled with emotion as giving birth is already a difficult time, is a knob.

Also I think this entire thread is intended to make people feel superior. There are many posters stating they hate Botox/fillers, certain baby names etc. How do think people who have had work done to their face due to insecurities feel? Or those who have children with the names people hate?

Pets inside the house. They will have faeces and urine on them somewhere. 🤢

Pets being allowed on carpets, beds and furniture. Oooohhh I'm so kind to my animal that I let it leave excrement on my bed sheets 🤢.

Litter trays. Why have a box of shit in your house. You are disgusting and it doesn't matter if you clear it up or use a special kind of litter your house still smells of cat shit.

Kids with ears pierced.

Baby on board signs (I'm not moderating my behaviour for them as most drive like they don't have precious cargo).

People who wear active wear and don't exercise, especially if I am having to queue to go into a shop that sells said active wear behind them.

Range Rovers. They're shit to drive and are really unreliable and there are so many nicer SUVs out there so you must have one as a status symbol or you're a moron.

My neighbour who takes literally all day to strim the edges of her lawn, mow it and trim her hedges. 7 fucking hours.

People who park near junctions.

People who post on Facebook that their kids have streaming colds and then moan about not being able to get a test.

People who share their illness or weight loss journey on Facebook.

People who sell Herbalife or Scentsy posting calling people Hun 🙄 and telling us we can earn a couple of grand before Christmas being an annoying twat like them.

Pink clothes, big hair bows, frilly socks, patent (sp) shoes and nail polish on young girls.

People who post pictures of their overweight children having a shake as a treat when it has a waffle, half a pint of cream and a mars bar balanced on top.

Off the top of my head. I could probably go on and on.

Totally agree except for "nobody wins" the winners are senior execs and shareholders who benefit from cost reductions and even get bonuses when they fail.

Boys with perms. People dressing their kids alike. Boys with slicked down hair and a shaved in parting. Kids in full on formal wear to visit parents in prison

@mamanrose

Getting fillers or naming your child is a choice Hmm

mamanrose · 17/09/2020 09:38

So is choosing formula over breast milk in most cases

@mamanrose

I think you need to educate yourself a bit more if you think a majority of people FF through choice.

It's generally because of lack of midwife/HV/GP/general support and advice, not through choice.
