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 
The struggle is real. I hear you.

Thank you for the tip! I will be trying this next time.

People write posts on social media saying ‘I love my husband so much!’ Just tell him?? Why post on fb? Oh and people who check in at brunch, NO ONE CARES!!!!!

People who get rid of all their garden and replace it with concrete/stones/that awful grey slate. It looks vile and is killing nature. Then they complain that card go and shot in it 😂😂😂😂

Cats shit in it.

Oh yes women who proclaim on FB how much they love their oh, when we all know and you do he has been shagging around.

Here goes...

Any horrifically earnest teenager on TikTok.

People who think they deserve a mother Theresa medal for working for charity / social services. You still take a salary. Calm down.

Grown women who think their wedding is the most important (and expensive!) day of everyone else's lives.

People who clearly look at the indicator arrow on the outside of the lift, then say, "going up?". Yes I'm going up, that's what the upward pointing arrow you just looked at shows you.

People wearing odd socks.

Oh wow, so many things. People who say would of. Stupid people. People who litter/don't pick up their dog poo. People who wear their own seat belt but don't bother buckling in their precious children-cannot get my head around that. Sushi.

You can report the fridge and sign on the Fix My Street website. Goes to the relevant council and it's anonymous. Make sure you tick relevant box.

@Ceit

Mothers carrying all their kids' stuff for them.

I’m so guilty of this 🥴 my DS drops or drags his stuff all the time, today coming out of after school club he dropped his jumper, stood on it then dropped his water bottle! Argh

@sapnupuas are you my neighbour? I draw my curtains during the day when the sun is making my living room too hot!

People who sit in their cars outside libraries, shops, doctors' surgeries with their engines running. Are they planning for a fast getaway?

People who walk along the street with their phone on speaker phone holding it in front of their mouth. How is that better than using it like a normal phone!?

Parent parking spaces: being a parent is not a disability.

Sincerely
Mother of 6 with biggest people carrier on the planet.

Actually yes, people on their phone with headphones on, looking at their phone.

Had quite a few in London not realising they were about to walk into me!

Move! Look! Listen!

Totally agree with all of those, but aren't baby on board signs for safety reasons - should there be an accident - they would check for child in the back first?

When there’s a BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG on the door making you think your house is on fire when nope, it’s the postman/woman alerting you of a socially distanced package!

See www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4026004-baby-on-board-sign for a thorough debunking of that myth.

People who don't know the difference between their, there & they're!

Men who think they know about childbirth
Mums who think letting their children go out with matted scruffy hair is a sign of how middle class they are.

God, some of these are

People who fiddle with the stereo in the car while driving.

@HelplessProcrastinator agree with headbands! But you know the real reason behind Baby on Board signs?
It's not to try and stop.people driving up your ass, it's to notify emergency services that there's a child in the vehicle who wouldn't be able to get themselves out of a carseat if there was an accident.
If the driver was unconscious etc

To clear a few things up

Tv faces away from the window (I'm close enough to have been in their house but not to ask this pressing question!), so no glare on the tv

They close them when the child is in the house; when the child is at school; and when one of them is on shift, so no afternoon delight

They close them on overcast days so it's not due to the sun shining on their car

It might be an afternoon nap, but wouldn't you just go to bed if you didn't have a kid in the house that you had to watch?

I don't know why I care so much.

@leiaskye

Boy racers bombing around with really loud popping exhausts. I know that’s how they are supposed to sound, but they sound to me like there’s a hole in it, & need to visit the garage!

Plus they seem to think speed = cool, travelling at 50 in a 30.

Yep, got one of those on my street. He's about 18 and I don't think it's occurred to him that because of his exhaust, we can all hear how badly he drives. We have permit only parking, and we have to fit between the lines or risk a ticket. We've all heard him revving mightily as he goes back and forth to line up properly. I dream of shoving a potato up the exhaust, or perhaps sticking a marshmallow to the car when it's below freezing.

Meanwhile, to those who don't like seeing families going shopping together, I'd like to offer a perspective they may not have realised.

My Ex basically used me and the DC as his sole form of entertainment / company. So very often he'd come shopping with me, even though I'd have preferred to go alone so it was done quickly. No, we had to go together. And not just him, he insisted on the DC coming too, even when they were into their teens.

So he wouldn't stay at home with little DC, and wouldn't let them stay at home when they were old enough to do that. He said he didn't trust them (but would change his mind when it suited him). I felt like a wazzock when shopping, having them all clustered around me.

I think there was a big element of controlling behaviour in there too. It may even have been the main motive. It certainly wasn't my idea. These days I do most of the shopping alone, and sometimes with DD if she's helping with the meal planning.
