What would you ban?

[BlueEyesWhiteDragon]

The dog thread has got me pondering...

I'd ban smoking. Ideally full stop but would settle for at least anywhere outside of your own house. It smells. Its unhealthy not just for you but for people around you who don't choose to smoke. Causes thousands of deaths.

Also wasps. I want to be able to sit out in an evening and not be bugged by them. They can also sting me and have zero consequences. Described as voracious predators. I understand they pollinate stuff but surely we have Bees for that (and other things) why do we need angry Wasps too?

And prawn cocktail crisps. Just No.

When we live in a bluetatorship I will give out free milk and cookies but take away your stupid sounding crisps!

Tv licence

Sam Smith and his stupid, fucking plural pronoun. There is only one of you, you self-important twat!

Any beeping appliances

Cars that want to do the driving for you. I include auto lights, wipers, parking, braking, the lot. I got in one the other day that turned the radio down when put in reverse. As if my brain couldn’t possibly cope unless it did.

Ban McDonald's.. The smell is vile...

@Chocolateismakingmefat agreed! I remember being in the cinema a few years ago and a girl and her boyfriend chomped their way through about 4 cheeseburgers from McDonald’s. Absolute stench. My poor DH then opened a packet of haribo and she hissed across at me to tell him omg to stop rattling the packet!!!

Wasps are great at suppressing other insects and pollinating plants, so I'm going to defend them.

Loud annoyingly crap neighbours and dog shit on pavements.

Parents who live in a city who need a huge 4x4 to pick up one tiny child from school.
People who are rude to waiting staff.
Fortnite.
People who don't give horses any room on a road.
People who get dogs then don't look after them.
Littering.
People who don't own a book and don't encourage their children to read.
Anti-vaxx people.
Conspiracy theory nutters.

These threads that crop up every few weeks pretending to be lighthearted but actually filled with sneery judgemental people making vile comments.

marketing
no-performing
and people who fail to pick up their dog's shit should have their noses rubbed in it

@Maisiecow

Sam Smith and his stupid, fucking plural pronoun. There is only one of you, you self-important twat!

Shouldn't that be..."you self-important twats "?

@AriseMyPretties thanks for articulating my thoughts better than I could. Thought this would be a light hearted thread after a shit day and it's actually really upsetting that given everything that's happening, people behave in this manner and are proud of it

The Royal Family
Dogs off leads
People who shout instead of talk
Noisy neighbours
Parents who don't supervise their kids
People who play music in the garden
Garden bonfires
People who shop in their pyjamas

Men who strip their tops off in the summer and strut around like they are gods gift. My neighbours playing loud boom boom boom music, though I'm probably unreasonable and they are not that bad, but even 5 minutes of it does my ears in. Pot smoke wafting into my garden, I stopped smoking 3 years ago and the smell now makes me feel sick. Litter, just take your crap home with you, it's not that hard. Loud tv presenters, I'm not bloody deaf.

Arrogance
Slugs
Daddy long-legs
People in huge cartoon caracter costumes
Text speak when not texting
Not using capital letters or overusing them

Chocolate easter eggs
Entitled people

Brexiteers

Trousers and jeans that almost come up to your bra, and feel as if they are going to cut you in half when you sit down.

Anyone who thinks well behaved dogs should be kept on a lead.

Builders radios.

The construction noise is bad enough but radios as well is really rubbing the salt into the wound for the neighbours.

Hedgehogs??? Who doesn't love Hedgehogs?

Child poverty
underfunded social care for older people
Institutional racism
Daily mail commentators
Goady deliberate misgendering
