4d scans. They all look the bloody same. Like that bit in titanic when it's present day and the robot thing is going through the rusty old safe at the bottom of the sea.

BreconBeBuggered · 17/09/2020 15:52

People who post daily updates about how many steps they have done today, and where they did them. How many fingers can you see me holding up? That's how many fucks I give. Now on your way.

That made me LOL! They literally look all the same!

People who don't remove price stickers from books.
Nish Kumar
Gangs of middle aged male cyclists in fluorescent lycra clinging to their sunken, stringy buttocks.
Female radio 4 comedians who do routines about veganism. (Bring back Joan Rivers and her 9/11 gags.)
Guys who never skip arm day and therefore have biceps like angry melons.
Men who expect praise for meeting the absolute bare minimum of their obligations.
Randoms who think I am the manager
CHUGGERS
Privately educated, private income brats who call themselves 'socialists' or activists.
People who say they were never supported / taught to breastfeed and then get offended / huffy when you suggest a conversation about breastfeeding and how to do it.

Bloody love how this thread has taken off.

Everything is annoying me right now. Have to keep telling myself to TAKE NO NOTICE.

FKATondelayo · 17/09/2020 16:41

Oh and BE KIND.

Yes! I have to remove them pretty much the second I'm out of the shop. When I see people with them in public it takes a lot of self control not to go over and ask if I can peel it off.

CarrieMoonbeams · 17/09/2020 16:53

People who say "ooh, aren't you being good!" if you don't have a biscuit or cake in their company. No, I don't like biscuits or cake much at all, so I'm not being "good" you twat. Now if someone produced a bag of Doritos, for example, it'd be a fight to the death so I could get them first. Not sure you'd think I'm good then!

So me. Fuck sweet stuff. Where're the pringles?

But the really enraging thing about price stickers on books is when they won't come off cleanly so that you are left with a horrible sticky patch Angry

CornflakeMum · 17/09/2020 17:01

oh, just remembered another one:

People who don't take the stickers off the underside of sinks or the sides of toilet cistens....

WHY?

The80sweregreat · 17/09/2020 17:04

People who post 'round robin' type things on Facebook about ' being there for you hun ' when these people are not that bothered about anyone that much in real life.
I see the likes and the kisses and roll my eyes. ( none of my business , but it is false !)

WokesFromHome · 17/09/2020 17:12

Women uploading photos onto MN and asking "How old do you think I am?"

Seriously love, you are not 13. You are middle aged. Get over yourself.

lakesidefall · 17/09/2020 17:15

I always darkly feel that they are old enough to know better.
Although I obviously keep such uncharitable thoughts to myself.

ImANosyNeighbour · 17/09/2020 17:18

Women uploading photos onto MN and asking "How old do you think I am?"

Ha yes! Just seen one of those threads. My first response is to guess under so as not to cause offence but many poster’s don’t follow this line and then set out to be really nasty.
The other thing I find annoying about these threads is other poster’s not bothering to read the OP’s update saying her actual age and still continuing to guess 20 pages later. Confused

ClementineWoolysocks · 17/09/2020 17:23

I've just seen a post on FB, someone posted a pic of their mum with the blurb 'I'm asking people to post a pic of their mum, only people who genuinely love their mum should post' I mean, what the fuck? Can't these people hear themselves?!

Stickers not being removed from white goods.

salsah · 17/09/2020 17:27

People in outdoor cafes who smoke over the newborn baby at the table next door (I am way past this baby stage but it bugs the hell out of me). Second only to the oblivious parents of smoked-over newborn not noticing.

UnaCorda · 17/09/2020 17:28

People whose write "non" when they mean "none".

Inappropriate footwear, such as hiking boots at a funeral or flip-flops at a wedding.

ReplacementPlasticUterus · 17/09/2020 17:31

People who do things inefficiently (or basically not in the way I would do those things.) See also, people who spend money on things I would not buy.
Men with beards but no moustache - what's that all about?
Men who drive topless in hot weather. I'm never entirely sure they aren't gadding about starkers for the thrill of it.
When my DP slices baby plum tomatoes in half widthwise instead of lengthwise. They taste the same, but it really bugs me.

Misused apostrophes.

People who don't stand on the 2m spots in queues, making the next person have to either also not stand on the spot, and so on down the queue, or stand closer than 2m.

All the visitors to my neighbour (multiple times a day) who park opposite my driveway or tight against my driveway despite no other cars on the road and neighbour having 2 spaces on their driveway and NO CAR!

Runnerduck34 · 17/09/2020 17:34

Baby girls wearing head bands especially when they dont have any hair
Babies with pierced ears
Drivers not saying thank you when you let them out/give way
People who treat their pets like children
Posters that hint at something but won't say outright whats wrong or what it is
Middle aged men in lycra cycling, usually in packs , right in the middle of the road.
