I would ban playing music on speaker on public transport. Also, calls, videos etc. Wear your earphones!!

Me too! Me too! Especially when you’re in the garden and you hear all your Wfh neighbours’ calls. Argh

Also loud music played in gardens

Banks and other businesses that ask for your date of birth for ID, and then use it to send you birthday greetings or to send special offers 'to help you celebrate your birthday'. I'm birthday-phobic anyway, and certainly don't need strangers reminding me of it in the hope of getting more money off me!

The words 'snowflake', 'woke' and 'gammon' as political insults.

I'm sure pp's must have said this already, but drivers are now obligated by the highway code to prioritise cyclists and pedestrians.

This is not correct.

Jackanackanory · 18/07/2022 00:21

I would ban everyone from saying or writing ‘bore off’. It’s such an unimaginative and childish phrase. It’s like something an eight year old would say.

If you ever decide to run for Prime Minister, I’m going to vote for you. Make this a national policy.

ImustLearn2Cook · 18/07/2022 00:48

I would ban building homes and apartments etc without adequate soundproofing. I think we’d all be a lot less stressed, annoyed, sleep deprived, angry at our neighbours if we didn’t hear every tiny noise the neighbours make or be worried about disturbing our neighbours with the normal noise of living and socialising.

I’m so fucking sleep deprived 😵‍💫

Bonfires other than on bonfire night

cyclists

all unrealistic baby-related adverts - pampers and those pristine homes and skinny mothers

most of Instagram

adverts on Facebook

men wearing those tracksuit bottoms which highlight their penises

Car chases in films (so boring)

any form of thing which makes tooting or whistling sounds during cricket/football matches

seafood

teenagers mumbling

flip flops unless on holiday (I do not need to listen to the sound of your sweaty foot flapping as you walk)

high heels

any sentence starting with ‘I had a dream last night…’. I. Don’t. Care.

I love this thread but will stop now as am revealing my inner grinch, I have so many more things I could add…

IncyWincyGrownUp · 18/07/2022 01:05

I’d ban owning more than one home. No landlords other than social landlords. No air B&B bollocks or quaint little bijou holiday lets in the lakes.

All new builds should also have decent minimum square footage, as well as excellent soundproofing, inbuilt storage, and properly efficient heating and cooling.

Kaileighohkaileigh · 18/07/2022 01:07

Oh and Piers Morgan (but I barely think that needs saying)

God ! Me too!
Put your head phones and be quiet ! No one wants to hear your music / film (etc) you selfish idiot !
… and stop shouting down the phone on public transport .
’ Yes, Jonathan. Yes . Oh . Well I’m not sure . I’m on a train you see. I can’t really hear . What was that Jonathan??!….’
SHUT UP

LeevMarie · 18/07/2022 02:03

Animal testing would be my number one. Actually, just any animals used in production in general.

Also trampolines in gardens, letting dogs bark in gardens and the use of noisy power tools on Sundays. . . Can you tell what sort of a day I've had?!

Notable mentions for domestic fireworks, fake grass and children in pubs.

ASMR - especially on cooking videos

Agree - It's painful.

Kaileighohkaileigh · 18/07/2022 04:21

Ooh yes ASMR - it's SO creepy. My dd gets the tingly response thing and she still thinks it's creepy!
