Things that annoy you that are none of your business

[bonsaiii]

Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

Oh my god, so much.

Headbands / bows on baby girls

People who step off a train or bus and instantly stop dead while working out where they’re going next

Dogs being called ‘Loki’

Those ultra long, pointy shaped fingernails that are so popular now

People saying ‘you’ve got another thing coming’

Jack Vettriano

Identikit new build houses with grey walls, grey carpets, grey velvet sofas, grey velvet headboards, mirrored furniture, diamanté light shades, fake hydrangeas in mercury glass vases and black and white ‘arty’ prints

People posting photos of their kids with disgusting food smeared all over their faces as if it’s cute rather than repulsive

Ok, I’ll rein it in there I’m a judgmental bitch but in real life I never express these views!

Chavvy people yelling the street "Beckaaaayyyy , SHEILAAAH, have you got me fags'

Gross

People who don’t say thank you, or even smile, when you have stood back and waited to let them through.

Parents who think theirs is the only child on the planet and that your child should play second fiddle to theirs all the time. That other people are not real and just a 2D image in their movie with their DC as the main character. They usually emphasise their own DC's importance and their magnificent parenting by saying things like MY child.

Honestly, please people. I really don't give a shit about your kid. I'm happy to ramble along with you and be nice to them so long as they are nice to mine back, but I really don't care about your DC. I have DC of my own.

My neighbour and her cunt of a dog

People who have lots of relatives. You need to elaborate lol

@sapnupuas

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

They're shagging.

Isn't that their point tho? You only worry about your child, only like your child and their child are only relevant if they interact with yours. Surely that's what you're complaining about?

Children in shopping trolleys what? Why?!

When people don't spell my name right when I've literally just written it to them in an email/message. Happens ALL the time and it infuriates me. I have a bog standard name which admittedly can be spelt a couple of different ways - think Carl/Karl - but if it's right there on your screen how oh how can you get it wrong?!

False eye lashes
Sculptured eye brows
Long nails on women and men
Flattened straightened hair and that bit that goes over their face that they have to move out the way with their horrible hands, showing off horrible nails.
Headbands on babies
Earrings on babies
Babies in maccies eating chips
Kids (with parents) in shopping centres with footballs, kicking them everywhere
Grown women putting pouting pics up on social media

@nettytree how do you feel about sandals?

People calling their kids a ‘handful’ when they mean badly behaved brat..
People who actually leave the house with chipped nail varnish - my sister, I am looking at you!
People who clearly let their young kids name their pets and condemn their poor dog to a life being called Fluffy..

Women and girls wearing leggings you can see their thongs and cellulite through.

Hipster cafés/pubs who serve things on planks, and have blackboard menus, this means you.

DH and I went to a cafe my brother recommended. We sat at a school lunch hall style table and it looked filthy - coffee rings, smudges and smears, sticky looking things - so I tried to wipe it with a wet wipe and realised that these things were painted on and it was meant to look dirty on purpose. The menu was full of 'whey brioche with sheeted egg' and 'sprouted artichoke toast with asparagus drizzle' and 'lentil crusted beetroot and chicken sausage pizza'.

Fucking hipsters.

My 3 year old will wear nothing that isn’t pink

When I can’t find a 2 child seat trolley (basically every time) I put my eldest in the trolley

I definitely have an ill fitting bra & therefore potentially 4 boobs.

I close my blinds every afternoon to get the kids to nap

I dress them in matching outfits sometimes

Didn’t realise I was so annoying

@Sanitisethat People who step off a train or bus and instantly stop dead while working out where they’re going next

I bet they are the same people who do it at the top or bottom of busy escalators too!

@JudgeRindersMinder I'm glad you wear what you like and it really is none of my business - but it looks to me like either your clothes got shrunk in the wash or you've recently been attacked by some savage wild beast! Never mind. You do you!

That's immediately where my head went when I first started noticing but they do it when just one is home with the child.

@Roseivy44

Oh and people on slimming world posting photos of their dinners which I cannot believe are ‘recommended’ for weight loss - I.e a big piece of gammon, a huge pile of home made chips and a whole tin of baked beans.

My friend does this! It's things like pasta with "low fat" cheese, "skinny" sausages, and not a single green vegetable in sight.

No wonder she's been doing SW for 5 years and is still the same weight.

Idling. Turn your stinky f%€$ing engine off.

The local chavs dressing their kids up in traveller type/posh royal look outfits and big bows. One local mum who's been banned from the town center and done drugs all her life dresses her son's up in the prince George type things. Another chavvy couple near us have given their son a gypsy haircut and he's often in big belts, shirts and wears gold chains. Their daughters are kitted out in very grown up clothing. Fur. Spanish dresses. Knee high socks. Shiny shoes. Big bows. They are already pouting and hands on hips in pictures (under the age of 10)

I dont like to see it. Let your children find their own style.

Wannabes.

I know my comment will annoy. But it's how I feel. It's become so common around here.

People who take their DC to soft play, sit down with a cup of coffee, browse their phone or sit chatting to friends whilst their DC bomb round unsupervised. The amount of times I've had to help children, some really tiny, in various states of stuck, hurt or upset was ridiculous.

My neighbours who stand outside their house smoking all the time and watch me trying to reverse park. I can park fine when they're not there but as soon as they are standing there watching me I cannot do it.

They also wear the same clothes all year round.

The way the Radio 2 newsreader Justine Green pronounces her own name.

Vegan cheese/sausages/ whatever.

It's not effing cheese. Call it by its ingredients.

I don’t think vegan ‘cheese’ can actually be called cheese! The brand I use - violife - doesn’t say the word cheese anywhere on the packaging. Other brands sometimes call themselves ‘cheez’ or ‘cheese-style substitute’. I think it breaches advertising standards to call non-dairy products cheese.

Sausages are a bit different imo because sausage is a shape rather than a specific, identifiable food. So you get pork sausages / chicken sausages / Cumberland sausages / vegan sausages etc.
