Is there anything that really shouldn't make you annoyed or that you hate but don't know why? I'll start, I hate those long coats that look like sleeping bags! I know its ridiculous to be annoyed by a coat, but... also people who talk into their phones but don't hold them to their ear. Aaaargh.

High pitched female American accent voices.

Globes, no idea why have always hated them

notagainmummy · 20/04/2021 19:05

Vinegar. Can't even bear it on a table near me.

TeddingtonTrashbag · 20/04/2021 19:06

All of these!!!!!
Also:
HCPs who use cringey expressions like ‘poorly’ ‘tummy’ ‘waterworks’ - and the NHS instructions for bowel cancer testing kits that refer to ‘poo’
Male cyclists in lycra who don’t give way at roundabouts or pedestrian crossings
People on Facebook who put passive aggressive posts like ‘ most people won’t re-post this but my real friends will’
People fulfilling their own ego trip to cycle up Mt Kilimanjaro and soliciting‘ sponsorship’ for charidee to fund it
People with dogs off leads

Acne. I have always bloody had it and I am OVER IT.

PissTestRightNowDaniella · 20/04/2021 19:16

Hanging up hooks in every item of clothing ever.

No one hangs their t shirts.

Do they??

PopsicleHustler · 20/04/2021 19:20

Women who do makeup tuition Instagram and YouTube and then spend 2minutes after doing the makeup to pose and run their tacky acrylic nails down their faces. So cringe. I can appreciate the makeup and different looks but come on. We have seen the makeup, there's no need to pose and do ridiculous pouts in various ways to show off your contour.

PopsicleHustler · 20/04/2021 19:20

That was meant to say : makeup tutorials *

FastFood · 20/04/2021 19:21

Kids with party make up, like a tiger or a butterfly, gives me the creeps.

E-scooters / monowheel, hoverboard, e-skateboard, all these kind of vehicles.

People who say "am I the only one who [insert a very generic statement here]?"

Manth0914 · 20/04/2021 19:23

These are great! I realise now that I have many more than I thought 😳

Blue jeans with black shoes! Eugh

Guilty! (Sometimes!)

lollipoprainbow · 20/04/2021 19:23

@petalblossom I'm like that too! I always make out I'm not actually crossing the road.

I can't stand it when people walk close behind you but won't overtake !

Crackers that break in half when you are buttering them.

Amelia2021 · 20/04/2021 19:26

How many things can we list? Grinhaha
People leaving wet towels on the bed/floor
People chewing or talking with their mouth full
The phrase "at the end of the day"

Mangofandangoo · 20/04/2021 19:28

Fucking Crumbs that seem to be EVERYWHERE

lynsey91 · 20/04/2021 19:30

Tattoos. I don't like them anywhere but particularly dislike ones on legs. They actually make me feel slightly sick so maybe a slight phobia.

I also really dislike them on woman's boobs too

DeadGood · 20/04/2021 19:31

@petalblossom

When a driver slows down to let you cross the road when it would be easier to just drive past and let you cross after. I appreciate they may be being courteous and aware of pedestrians which is obviously good, but I always feel awkward and just want to cross in my own time.
Oh god this. I had the timing all planned out, and then you had to go and stop for me.
oopsydaisyyy · 20/04/2021 19:41

when a shoe is upside down, 😩😩 i have to straighten it and its so annoying

oopsydaisyyy · 20/04/2021 19:43

@Cas112

omg this... why do people ask this... "whatcya having?"
ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 20/04/2021 19:51

I hate the lead singer from Keane. It's his giant moon face. Having said that, they haven't been visible for years so he doesn't bother me much day to day 😂

Pbbananabagel · 20/04/2021 19:56

Kiera Knightly.
Bicycles
People with super fast metabolisms that eat everything and never put on weight (I know it’s not their fault, this is irrational)

Raffles1981 · 20/04/2021 20:16

Lorraine Kelly. Bitch makes me mad as hell.
People giving me unsolicited, potty training advice.
My hat being knocked off at work, every time I pass through the plastics flaps on the doors. You would think my sodding hairnet would provide some kind of stability.
When I go to pull my sleeve up and accidentally punch myself in the face.
The fact that I can't roll up my sleeves on my onsie. What's that about? Tightest cuffs ever Angry

Cismyfatarse · 20/04/2021 20:23

The couple who narrow the access to our street with their fecking camper van. They use it as an extra room and go nowhere, even in normal times.

Raffles1981 · 20/04/2021 20:24

@trappedsincesundaymorn - I'm a 4th July baby. Despite being English, I still get "Oohh, American Independence Day!" and I am telling you, they seem to say it like it's a revelation. I know douche bags, been told this for the last 30 odd years!!

getyourfreakon · 20/04/2021 21:59

Scallies.
People who can't talk without shouting even when they're within 2 inches of each other.
People walking around supermarkets with their nose hanging out of their mask.
Anyone who goes out of their way to stare at me and nudge their mate to turn around then smirk or shout a comment - common occurrence.
People with extreme puffed up lips judging me on my appearance.
I'm pretty live and let live until the #bekind crowd are voicing their opinion on me in public while I'm just walking down a street, often hand in hand with my child. Or y'know just being a twat in general.
Heavily tattooed, many piercings, drawn on eyebrows because I don't have any natural but always ready with a smile and naturally friendly. Judge away vipers Grin
