For me it’s people who drape their hair over the back of their plane seat. Takes obliviousness to other people to a whole new level.

OP posts:
RobertaFirmino · 02/12/2022 21:51

People who do not cover their mouths when they cough (and allow their DC to do the same).

Allsizes8to14 · 02/12/2022 22:01

People who don’t stick to the 48hr rule after sickness/diarrhoea and therefore spread illness and misery to all

People who use their phones when driving

People who park in disabled/parent child parking spaces

People who turn up late to medical appointments, offer no apology, expect to be seen and then kick off when told they can’t be (with zero consideration for all the people after them who’ve arrived on time but would then be seen late)

LonelyBones · 02/12/2022 22:12

Single people or couples who sit at tables big enough for 4/6 in busy cafes/foodhalls when its busy and have the audacity to look affronted when i ask to share their table with my kids 😂

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 02/12/2022 22:23

People who put used matches back in the matchbox.

SapatSea · 02/12/2022 22:43

People who hang dog poo bags on tree branches and fences or put the poo in a bag and then dump it on the ground. Don't get a dog if you can't be faffed to carry its poo a few metres to a bin!

People who can't be arsed to walk their dogs themselves or pick up their poo. I used to live opposite a small public park square in a naice area. I lost count of the people who would drive up to the edge of the park outside my house in the evening, open the car door and shoo the dog off to the green (used in the daytime by local kids for football) to empty itself.

Litterers and vandals. Basically the bunch of feral kids who are running round our village causing mayhem. Their parents can join them cos there's no way they don't know what their little angels are up to. Latest one was cutting the power cable and smashing up the bulbs of the village Christmas tree. Absolutely no need.

My manager at work
to put it nicely we don’t like each other-fine,you can’t like everyone in life but she really hates me
problem is for her,to upset me,I’d have to give a damn and I don’t give a shiny shite
she’s got an ego bigger than my arse
I don’t think anyone there likes her but she’s that narcissistic she thinks she’s epic
theres a place in hell just for her ego alone

People who are late-my time is an important as yours
people who are half an hour early-and then have the nerve to start ringing and texting,asking where you are
im on my way!I’ll be there at the time we agreed!

people who have a hobby-I have a friend who loves fishing
they will steer any conversation onto bloody fishing
i hate fish-never been fishing and never want to
but it’s all they talk about
ive given up being polite and tell them straight I don’t know nor care about fucking fish
doesnt stop them though

ugh

Which way?

With the 'drop' at the front, if the 'drop' is nearest to the wall the spiders climb on it.

Oh my god. Do we have the same boss?
Mine is a sociopath, who has driven me to the brink of a full on breakdown. I've decided I'm resigning on Monday. I don't have another job to go to, but it has to be better than working for that utter C**T!!

Yes. And in a similar vein, people who throw empty wrappers back into the Celebrations/Quality Street.

Smokers. Selfish disgusting wankers.

If I sprayed air freshener in YOUR face you wouldn’t like it so stop blowing vile smoke in mine.

So don't you mean smokers who blow smoke in your face? A lot of smokers smoke alone and far from people

People who refuse to reverse in a lane when their passing place is just behind them and mine is round a corner 100m back.

People who refuse to reverse on road with parked cars when it's my right of way e.g. I've committed and am 2/3 down and they think it's fine to carry on even though they see me coming and expect me to reverse. No.

People who is stead of waiting for me to reverse by the parked cards mount pavement instead and almost knock over pedestrians.

I do this, I really really hate reversing, it freaks me out especially when people are waiting 😂😂 so I would beg you to reverse haha

70billionthnamechange · 03/12/2022 06:31

@squashedalmondcroissant I own a cafe and people can come in 5 mins before closing. My opening times are til 5 so I'll let them in til then or what's the point in having closing times. I then let them stay while I'm cleaning because I'm nice like that :-)

70billionthnamechange · 03/12/2022 06:50

@meatyryvita glad you said that. People forget exactly what you can do on your phone. I've been called out for being on my phone with my child and was looking at a fucking map. I guess my one is that people LOVE to judge people on phones before opening their tiny minds to the fact it's probably work or something and not just a gossip with the girls!!

WalkingOnTheCracks · 03/12/2022 08:15

@Flippppppp

People at musicals (especially West End ones that cost a fortune) who sing along to allllll the songs.

Oh, you reminded me of another one…

People at musicals.

BringbackSpringsteen · 03/12/2022 08:16

Drivers who don't indicate when there aren't cars around and then get annoyed that pedestrians have assumed they aren't turning and have started crossing the road. Bonus points for trying to intimidate pedestrians with young children.

WhoWants2Know · 03/12/2022 08:45

The person who put wings on sanitary towels. It's harder to find non-wing versions and I end up either cutting them off or risking an inadvertent waxing experience.

They don't have to go all the way to hell, but I wish them one very cold wet sock.

MrsToothyBitch · 03/12/2022 08:48

Oh so many.

  • People who ignore my TfL "please offer me a seat" badge in public transport. You can tell the avoiders because they do anything not to meet your eye or "see" you.
  • People who want the window seat next to me when plenty of other seats are available in the half empty carriage on a train. It's always men as well. Just fuck off.
  • Aimless walkers. You can be slow but be purposeful. People who amble about with no idea and stop dead on busy streets should be shot. See also people who stop dead in door ways, in train doorways or at the bottom of escalators, and their even stupider relatives who go at poorly snails pace round major qroundabouts and don't indicate.
  • People who abandon their trolley for ages at supermarkets and people who treat choosing at supermarkets as a serious, life changing decision and take hours. Pick a chicken, decide on the own brand jam and piss off, Barbara.
  • People who clearly don't work/aren't in a rush who come out at workplace lunch hours or transport rush hours to tie up ticket or till staff with something long and tricky. Bonus points if they complain about how busy it is.
  • Blithering mimsies who won't fuck off out of shops/away from tills after they've paid and keep wittering at the only cashier despite there clearly being other people waiting to pay. You might have endless time to fill but I don't appreciate the waste of my lunchbreak. Selfish, self indulgent idiots.
  • Anyone rude to service/hospitality industry staff.
  • Bullies and abusers inc animal abusers.
  • Anyone with a dog they can't/ won't control.
  • Anyone who doesn't take phobias seriously.
  • The reverse wankers mentioned upthread. Like the arse last night who expected DP to reverse a big estate car back up a narrow country lane in the dark, despite being in a much smaller car and there being a passing spot just behind them. We refused & they did eventually back up. Idiots.
  • Grown women with creepy little girl voices. Especially if they also act all "helpless".
  • The people who ruined DPs life at uni, he's still putting it back together. Extra special circle of hell for them.
  • Gurning saccharine fake idiot moron I went to school with and can't abide. She's the only person I truly wish endless misfortune, distress and pain on.

If we don’t-there’s more than one
oh,I’m sorry-I really hope you get the help and support you so badly need
im sending so much love and good vibes your way xxx

pd339 · 03/12/2022 10:00

The morons who don't know how to (or refuse to) reverse their cars. Learn to drive or just f*ck off.

reesewithoutaspoon · 03/12/2022 10:14

Middle lane hoggers on the motorway.

Slow walkers who insist on walking 2 or 3 abreast with a space between them that isn't big enough to walk through without bumping into them. Leave a space to get past if you insist on museum walking around town.

People who can't get to the point and waffle on about totally unrelated shit and go off on tangents and take 15 minutes to say something that could be said in one sentence.

HeatwaveToNightshade · 03/12/2022 10:22

PEOPLE (ahem) who accompany everything they do with a monologue as if they are some sort of roving reporter. My brain is about to explode this morning. Where are my effing headphones?

Especially now they're supposed to give way to pedestrians crossing a junction or waiting to do so.

Rollin · 03/12/2022 10:25

Homophobes, the royal family, and anyone who mutters passive aggressively rather than just speaking up about something they are happy with.

Rollin · 03/12/2022 10:26
