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.

The PE teacher at school - she was a right bitch. I'd pour boiling oil over her myself if I had the chance.

Rylan Clarke. Can't bear him.

People who keep saying ‘my daughter/my son’ when you know their children and their names. Weird.

Smokers who are so desperate that they light up the second they step outside the supermarket so I have to walk through clouds of disgusting secondhand smoke to get in/out. Just fuck off.

Parents giving children tablets/phones without headphones in the quiet coach of a train, or (my own experience), the 2 blokes who made/answered constant calls in the same quiet coach for the entire 3 hour journey.

Lorries overtaking each other on motorways. Always takes them fucking ages. MOVE!

The landlord in our local encourages it. It's brill!

We were at a restaurant in Berlin with friends once and there was a dog sitting at the head of the next table to hours. He looked so funny.

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.

Litterers 100%. I'd go Dante-esque and say they should be buried head first in their own garbage. Some flats near mine have a tiny garden - and some charmer dumped a rubbish bin there. As if that wasn't bad enough, passers by started chucking their rubbish as well. I cleared it up yesterday but what makes someone think oh I know, i'll just chuck this tin/packet/peel into this garden?

The morons who don't know how to (or refuse to) reverse their cars.

Yet decide to follow the annoying trend of reversing into parking spots in the supermarket carpark.

This. Such a pampered and plucked talent void

Has anyone mentioned PE teachers yet? They can have teir own hell.

Hooverphobe · 08/12/2022 09:05

@sashh an old school friend went to teacher’s training college (as it was back then) to become a PE teacher.

she dropped out after about 15 months as she couldn’t stand the “mean girls” atmosphere. She wanted to pick teams fairly and thought that THEY - as potential teachers - would do away with popularity contests.

People who let their dogs shit on the pavement - then don’t bag it. Same for the beach. Just because it’s a beach doesn’t mean the sea will wash it away, you dirty scruffs. I wish dogs were not allowed on beaches for this reason.

Those who allow their off lead dogs to run up to people and jump up on them. Dogs shouldn’t be off lead if they do this or have poor recall.

People who cough without covering their mouth.

People who make that gross noise then spit on the floor (sorry, but it’s usually men who do this)

People who park in the child/parent bay when they don’t have any kids/kids with them.

People who think nothing of littering.
I just don’t get it? Unfortunately, the parents who do it, pass it down to their kids. I’ve seen it with my own eyes countless times.

fairgame84 · 08/12/2022 10:17

People who purposefully mispronounce words because they thinkd it's cute.
I had an ex whose mum used to say bokkle instead of bottle, and hospickle because she thought it was cute. It was not.

Jeffery Marsh - not lighthearted.

People who walk out at pedestrian crossings without waiting for traffic to stop.

Drivers who think that, if a person is near a zebra crossing and may want to cross, accelerate, or just don't slow down, as they are legally obliged to do.

MrsOnyx · 08/12/2022 10:25

Just about anyone who rides a bike anywhere other than on a public road.

People who park where they shouldn't (keep clear markings, double yellow lines, bus bay/disabled bay near the ATM)

Ie weight lifters in vans, or Range Rovers, who think that disabled and parent and child spots are meant for them! Or people with sturdy teenagers, who they leave in the car.

On reversing into parking spots in supermarkets, it's not new, or a trend. It's what driving instructors teach, as your car is a) more manoeuvrable when reversing and b) because you can see what's coming when you leave and not pull out in front of someone.

Men who wear tracksuit bottoms that hang low and show their full arse/boxers.

Added bonus point - they are walking with a push bike or e scooter.

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet I can top that: my DH and I hardly ever travel by train but both of us have, independently of eachother, been in a very delayed train on Foregate Station in Worcester and then the train driver walked by as if he had all the time in the world, and carrying a Starbucks cup.
I bet it was the same person both times.

Fimofriend · 08/12/2022 11:36

People who "cannot pronounce foreign names". Even the names of their relatives or coworkers and they hear the name several times a week.

Yet somehow they have no problems pronouncing the names of foreign composers, state leaders or random celebrities.

Mybumlooksbig · 08/12/2022 12:04

The parents who drive their kids to school when they can quite easily walk there

IndieK1d · 08/12/2022 15:24

Adults who can't shush for 2 minutes while someone else is talking
