I’ll start… dogs 😬 Never goes down well & I think if I owned one I’d probably grow to love it but in my eyes they just smell and dribble and are annoying. How about you?!

Strictly. BBC in general.

JK Rowling and that annoying brand of white middle class feminism.

Florence and the Machine

People seem to think I'm lying for some reason - or that I don't like her just because most people do (In my circle anyway). I am not a contrary person at all!

Baths. Too much faff running them. Just want a quick wash!

bingbummy · 14/10/2022 15:51

OMG me too. Dogs are so needy and jumpy, smelly, and dirty with their dribble and hair. Yuck!

Blackberrybunnet · 14/10/2022 15:52

Loose long hair. Just tie it back please. And don't flick or toss anywhere near me.

Thank god I’m not the only one who hates walks! I have a disability that restricts how far I can walk anyway, so basically when I take my dog for walk (who is like my baby because I can’t have children) I walk the same boring route as there aren’t many options close by.

WonkasBooboofixer · 14/10/2022 15:54

Coffee!!!

Nothing pisses me off more than when I see comments like….

”Why don’t you arrange to meet your friend for a coffee?”

“If you’re going on a date, why not suggest you go out for coffee?”

”When you’re back from your shopping trip why don’t I come over for a coffee?”

Why is it assumed that everyone drinks fucking coffee?!

It really gives me the rage.

oldperson1 · 14/10/2022 15:57

People referring to their new kitchen as a 'space'.

...calling any room a "space" for that matter.

I love "Escape to the Country", but I get toothache when they talk about a room being "a great space". It's a kitchen/living room/conservatory, for pity's sake not a f*ing "space".

QueenieL1 · 14/10/2022 16:22

Freddie Mercury. I always thought he was creepy and strange looking with his massive teeth.

Looking it all written down makes me sound a proper misery! Grin

People who are weirdly angry about dogs

Sagealicious · 14/10/2022 16:30

Banksy. I've seen far better street art than what he puts out. The only reason his work gets so much attention is because of his anonymity. Reveal that and he's just another artist. It's all about the marketing, remaining anonymous adds to the mystery and people lap it up. I'm not saying he's bad, just that his work gets far more attention because of the mysterious identity marketing ploy.

Dancing in the Moonlight' song

This has always given me the rage but it’s been great to see so many people feel the same
