Hot weather.
Grumpy husbands.
Seagulls when you're 50 miles from the sea at 4am.

nits

bedbugs - They ruin all my holidays worrying about whether I’m going to bring some back with me in my case

Unnecessary traffic lights on roundabouts. However did we manage before these? Oh yes, we followed the roundabout protocol

People shutting their bastard barking dogs out in the garden before 5am so the whole bloody neighbourhood can hear them and be woken up 🤬

You seem confused here, you don’t get to tell other posters how to post.

Oh the irony 😂😂

“Athleisure” wear on anyone who’s not going to a gym, coming back from a gym, or in a gym, and who has clearly never been to a gym.

So does that mean running trainers if you're not running? Jogging bottoms if you're not jogging?
I wear squat proof gym leggings because they're comfortable and they last are they included?
And why? These clothes are comfortable why does it upset you?

That pampers poonami advert. Absolutely vile and the baby’s staring face gives me the creeps.

ALongHardWinter · 18/07/2022 18:40

Those bloody electric scooters. I'm disabled and cannot walk very fast,and twice in the last couple of weeks,I've narrowly avoided being hit by one because I can't jump out of their way,as they expect me to.

I'd ban those Skoda ads too, those crash test dummies are way too close to Cybermen for .y liking.

A lot of people on benefits (think benefits britain) that say they have no intention to find a job, smoke 50 a day and keep having more and more kids for a pay rise and a bigger house .. and laugh about it 😡 - I would ban them being allowed to have an uncapped amount of children whilst intending for them to be paid for by tax payers .. where we are struggling with two full time jobs to afford to live and buy a house and have to discuss if we can afford and save to have a second child - what a system

Completely misinformed, judgemental, shit spouting benefit bashers.

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

Gammon???

Yes- i'm definitely a snowflake rather than a gammon, but I think both words turn political debate into rather counterproductive personal insults.

Another is the constant use of 'virtue signalling'.to imply that nobody could genuinely disagree with you, and anyone who argues for an opposing view must be an insincere poser.

Okra. Stupid, sluggy, slimy, vegetable fruit.

All exploitation of women including porn and surrogacy.

Lingoflaming · 20/07/2022 06:32

Amanda Holden and David Walliams. Both of them are annoying so banning them from telly will help with my mental wellbeing.

Sleepyquest · 20/07/2022 06:47

Influencers. I'm constantly being advertised to and it's weird.
