Little girls dressed head to toe in insipid pink

Slug like eyebrows - embracing naturally bushy eyebrows is great, virtually tattooing what looks like a large dead slug over your eyebrows definitely isn't

People who don't say thank you

People who drive less than 2 miles instead of walking when laziness is the issue rather than mobility/time

Bad dog owners (the ones that can't control their dog, don't attempt to control their dog, smile and say "they just want to say hi" when said dog is trying to climb/jump on you and don't clean up after their dog)

Psycho cyclists...not the highway code abiding, easily visible ones but the traffic light/zebra crossing ignoring and dressed head to toe in black stealth ones

I could probably come up with more...I'm not known for my tolerance of other people's sense of entitlement which most of these fall under!

Oh & I found out the sex of both kids whilst pregnant, I didn’t have a gender reveal though if that redeems me at all... Wink

PopsicleHustler · 16/09/2020 13:45

People who allow their dogs to go to the toilet in the garden and then immediately allow them to sit with their dirty bum on the sofa or even their bed. Ewwwwww

I mean come on , would you allow your child to go for a poo and then sit with no pants on on the couch and not wiped or washed.

But hey.

GabsAlot · 16/09/2020 13:45

[quote bibblebobbleblackbobble]@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![/quote]
😂😂😂😂😂😂thank you!

@Chicchicchicchiclana

The way the Radio 2 newsreader Justine Green pronounces her own name.
How does she pronounce it? (Out of interest)
Wejustdontknow · 16/09/2020 13:48

People who don’t say please/thank you
Those earrings that expand and make a bigger hole in your earlobe 🤢
People who don’t come back and update a thread with a resolution, I get invested!
My neighbour who never opens any of their curtains, ever.
Performance parenting

Tudorblue · 16/09/2020 13:48

Really long fake nails.

Ohmygoodnessbreathe · 16/09/2020 13:48

People who eat with their mouths open or with excessive noise

BlueDream · 16/09/2020 13:49

@WokesFromHome

Siblings dressed like twins.
I also know one who does this with her kids, and she also dresses to match them. Angry
Gancanny · 16/09/2020 13:49

Oh & I found out the sex of both kids whilst pregnant, I didn’t have a gender reveal though if that redeems me at all...

I found out all four of mine and with DC3 and DC4 I did have a mini-reveal but it wasn't filmed or shared and was just for our other DC as a fun way for them to find out whether they were getting a brother or a sister (gave them a coloured bath bomb for DC3 and cupcakes for DC4).

I also let youngest DC sit in the main part of the shopping trolley as I usually use one of the trolleys adapted with a seat for older children so older child goes in that seat and youngest child goes in the main part of the trolley.

ThighthighOfthigh · 16/09/2020 13:49

People who look hatchet faced inside their own car. That makes me so angry, I always mutter 'hatchet face' under my breath to teach them a lesson.

Ludo19 · 16/09/2020 13:49

Mostly all that's been mentioned but also

In hot weather men who go topless in supermarkets with sweaty hairy backs and cracks showing 🤢

Wejustdontknow · 16/09/2020 13:50

Oh and my biggest peeve, loud adults. The ones who are incapable of talking at a normal volume and it’s quite clear everything is done for attention. Really gives me the rage

ravenmum · 16/09/2020 13:50

People who let their small child cycle on ahead and stop at a busy road.

Chocolate4me · 16/09/2020 13:50

Slow walkers, even elderly slow walkers in my way annoy me, even though I know it's irrational to feel annoyed at them 😌

MyShinyWhiteTeeth · 16/09/2020 13:51

People referring to their children as 'my baby/babies' when they are toddlers, infants, preschool, school age, teenagers or adults.

People referring to their boy as 'my little man' and talking to their children as if they are idiots.

Bald baby girls being forced to wear pink headbands which they are clearly not happy with and keep trying to remove. Why?

People buying pink shit for girls when the parents have clearly expressed the wish to have gender neutral clothing only. Why does everyone need to be able to recognise with no error what gender a child is?

The parents responsible for 'the indigo/crystal/rainbow child'.

Chocolate4me · 16/09/2020 13:53

Oh and my neighbours constantly being outside or out the front when I want to leave the house but can't be arsed to be social and have to smile or say hello!

drumandthebass · 16/09/2020 13:53

People who park on double yellow lines, fully on the pavement or other idiotic places because they think they're special.

TenDays · 16/09/2020 13:54

People walking around with their coats hoods inside out.

TheVanguardSix · 16/09/2020 13:54

Neighbours' bonfires. It's just an invasion of acrid stink.

Building works boil my piss.

Thesearmsofmine · 16/09/2020 13:54

People who wean stupidly early (not on medical advice) or feed absolute junk to their baby

Kids wearing heelys in shops

People pushing gender stereotypes on children by not letting them have certain toys or colours of items because they are “girls toys” or “boy colours” or whatever.

My neighbours who are having a pretty small extension which has taken 2 years so far because thiey have hired cheap builders who seem to tune up randomly for a couple of hours here or there. It kind of is my business I guess because they leave a huge mess every time, building materials in our garden etc.

TheNewLook · 16/09/2020 13:55

People who stand up on the plane as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off and gather their bags then stand there impatiently waiting their turn to exit the plane. It makes no difference that you stood up first. Everyone knows you leave in an orderly manner row by row.

TheVanguardSix · 16/09/2020 13:55

People who let their small child cycle on ahead and stop at a busy road.

Oh this, with bells on! This and running ahead and scooting ahead. It all gives me such anxiety.
