Grandchild on board signs.
People who leave their bins in the street for their own convenience or who leave them at the front of the house to make their back nicer for themselves - making the front an eyesore for everyone else.

Women on tv series in sleeveless or revealing dresses while all the men are wearing jackets or sweaters.

Fat people especially fat children.
Judgemental people who don’t apply those morals to themselves

When visitors to my neighbours house park outside my living room window.

Personalised number plates.

Baby showers/gender reveal parties.

Hen weekend/weeks.

I am sure there are more....

People who don't hang their washing out properly. It won't dry like that or will be full of creases for fucks sake!

merlynred1 · 17/09/2020 20:45
  • Anyone who chews their nails or the skin down the sides in my vicinity.
  • seeing someone’s pre-gnawed, sore looking finger ends touching stuff!
  • Really short finger nails below the “acceptable line”. I once cut one of mine too short and was uncomfortable for days!
  • People who don’t know the difference between borrow and lend.
  • Using “pressurised” instead of “pressured” into doing something.
  • Not knowing what a hetrosexual man looks/sounds like anymore. E.g Joel Dommett, seriously confuses me Confused

@MulticolourMophead I will certainly think twice now when I see families food shopping together Flowers

EmmaWithTheGreatHair · 17/09/2020 20:47

@Redbirds DH often hangs the washing out without pegs! It’s the height of laziness!

Violinist64 · 17/09/2020 20:49

Badly behaved and noisy children with indulgent parents who do nothing to discipline their offspring. Dummies used by children when out and about over the age of two or so. Baby bottles with juice in.

Violinist64 · 17/09/2020 20:51

Also piercings and tattoos.

FeeLock28 · 17/09/2020 20:54

Men who pick their underpants out of the crease under their testicles, in public, and then sniff their fingers.

Galdos · 17/09/2020 20:59

All forms of discourtesy inconveniencing others, which should be punishable by a sneer or a painful death, according to mood - you know, blocking pavements chatting, parking on double yellowed line corners while 'just popping in' to local shop, flinging car doors open without looking, runners expecting EVERYONE to get out of their way, people with dogs on lo-o-o-ong elasticated leads which are never ever reeled in …[continues for a thousand pages]

Oh, we're good now, it's been over 3 years since we left him.

Meanwhile, I get irritated by the "we're pregnant" blokes. It doesn't have any impact on me, but I hear that and shudder.

@DimidDavilby "one imperial finger"
That made me laugh more than you realise 😂😂

janj2301 · 17/09/2020 21:09

Nearly everything already listed but add
Sports people spraying champagne, what a waste
Children cycling with helmets but parents not wearing helmets
Wind chimes
Modern trend for names with numbers and symbols.
Guys with pony tails and thinning hair
Changing nappies on public tables in parks and cafes
Passers by having loud conversations outside my bedroom at 3am

Brassica · 17/09/2020 21:10

People who just put hashtags on their Instagram posts, never anything narrative or personal - eg #sundowner #livingthedream #nofilter. And when hashtags are too long and specific to ever work as a hashtag, you’ve missed the whole point of them!

People who say ‘bits’ when they mean ‘stuff’ or ‘things’. “I’ve got to get some bits at the supermarket.” Twaddle, and makes my teeth itch.

The way Gary Davies has no chat, even after 35 years on national radio. Grin

FrangipaniBlue · 17/09/2020 21:20

@Dillo10

The fact that DH eats his lunch standing up. It's usually a sandwich and he eats it while making a coffee that he will then sit down and enjoy. Doesn't affect me one bit, but for some reason I want to scream at him to bloody sit down and eat.
I am guilty of this 🙈

But DappledThings better it's NOT a sticker at all, than a sticker that leaves a sticky mess when you remove it!!

HairyPottyMouth · 17/09/2020 21:24

@sapnupuas

My neighbours closing their curtains randomly for an hour or so during the day (usually about now). Why? Why are they doing this?
Afternoon delight?
RelaisBlu · 17/09/2020 21:26

Thank you for that tip oomymoomy I'll be trying Mr Sheen next time it happens!

OchonAgusOchonO · 17/09/2020 21:26

@Zerrin13 - ^People writing on here ' I've 3 children, I've a dog. Its ive got!!! Say it right before I explode with rage*

It does sound wrong but I'm not convinced it's technically incorrect. "I've" is a contraction of "I have" and "I have a dog" is correct while "I have got a dog" isn't.

Oh I don't know. At least with sticky residue I know I've had a go at doing the right thing! Printed takes away the option....

And I now have the tip about Mr Sheen upthread to cure those sticky problems.
