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.

So many.....
People who are always late
Tailgaters
People who eat in the cinema or theatre
People who talk on their phone/play music or films when in public spaces, especially on the train
People who don't send a thank you message or letter for a present
People who bring their mobile phones to the table at meals

People who fanny about and can't just leave the house. We'll be running late and after taking 1000 years to get ready my husband will decide he needs to package up a parcel that needs to go to the post office the next day, or some other similarly non time critical task.

Parents who think their right to park near the school overrides trivial things like double tyellow lines, pavements and peoples gardens....

gogohmm · 29/11/2022 07:42

People with those ultra bright headlights. So annoying

@BenCooperSuperTrouper

You are forgetting "use private jets" to get a a climate change conference!

The lady who barged into my pram yesterday with my 6 month old ds asleep in it, at Christmas Market while we were shopping just so she could reach a keychain. 😡

NooNakedJacuzziness · 29/11/2022 07:47

Slow walkers used to annoy me until I hurt my hip - it's very uncomfortable but I need to get places and I'm painfully aware of how slow I'm going and it's a wake up call to be noticing all the huffing and tutting (that used to be me!). Please try and be patient - unless people are walking slowly because they're glued to their phones and not looking up, they can get to fuck.

Syrax · 29/11/2022 07:48

People who get off an escalator the stop a foot from the bottom to look around and see where they want to go, with absolutely no thought for the people behind them.

loudbatperson · 29/11/2022 07:59

People with no lane discipline/who don't use indicators/pull out without looking and then look at you like you're the arsehole.

People who stop dead in the middle of an aisle for a chat or to use their phone.

People who stand blocking a doorway, move to the side!

Groups of people who insist on walking abreast with each other and expect you to move to let then pass (nope, I will stand there like a rock and wait).

People who talk on their phone on speaker phone in public.

People who put bags on seats.

People who stand in front of ticket barriers looking for their cars/ticket.

People who stand on the left of escalators.

People who go into a cafe/restaurant just before closing time 😡😡

GTFO no one wants you there at that time we have a lot to do after closing and we want to go home at a reasonable hour!

This is unreasonable, if you are open, and there isn't a cut off ordering time, then you are open.

Those utter arses who eat loudly/ talk/ check phones in the cinema/theatre....why??? Sends me skywards!

Ooo yes them too!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/11/2022 08:11

People who wilfully waste food. I would add a resounding slap in the face for people who post on MN saying e.g. ‘I’ve got a packet of bacon that’s still within date but it’s been open in the fridge for 2 days - is it safe to eat?’

Thehop · 29/11/2022 08:11

Parents who persistently collect their kids late from whatever childcare setting they're in then want to chat. Selfish Bastards they are, the lot of em.

bigbluebus · 29/11/2022 08:16

People who park where they shouldn't (keep clear markings, double yellow lines, bus bay/disabled bay near the ATM) because they're only "popping" somewhere. No consideration for the fact that in the time they've "popped" they've caused traffic chaos as there was nowhere for vehicles to pull in on the road to let other cars past or a disabled person has had to park further away.

ScotlandEuropa · 29/11/2022 08:17

People who let their dogs shit all over pavements or any small patch of green space whatsoever, then have the actual fucking brass balls to walk off and leave it there (for my toddlers to stand in) 🤬

Suffrajitsu · 29/11/2022 08:46

Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Suella Braverman, Pritti Patel, and everyone who enabled them.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 29/11/2022 08:53

People who turn up at the supermarket checkout with a wallet full of lottery ticket which the assistant then has to check on the machine which is situated at the baskets only till. Double dose of a prod in the arse from the devil's trident for the woman who lost track of what tickets had been checked and what hadn't and wanted the checkout assistant to go through them again.

saltrock123 · 29/11/2022 08:55

People who occupy the aisle seat on a bus and refuse to move next to the window when other passengers are getting on and looking for a seat, happens a lot on my local bus.

IglesiasPiggl · 29/11/2022 08:59

The makers and purchasers of wind chimes.

Once had a woman attempt to paint her nails beside us on the plane. The stewardess went ballistic!

Why?
Not something I’d do but I can’t think why it’s an issue

GoodnightJude1 · 29/11/2022 09:06

People that don’t say thank you when you’ve spent time cooking for them.
People that slurp drinks and eat with their mouth wide open.
People that don’t offer their seats on public transport to anyone more in need of the seat.
People that get away with not paying child maintenance to the other parent.
People that drink drive.
People that get dogs and then don’t walk them and leave them at home all day every day and then constantly try to palm them off on to other people so they can go away for the weekend/week without having to pay for someone to look after them.

ahhh that feels better 😄

Anyone in the bank or Post Office (or the Railway Station Ticket office) who appears to be making their yearly visit to enquire about something ridiculously detailed that takes 45 minutes of discussion........

Sandsnake · 29/11/2022 09:12

Phones on loudspeaker on public transport or other confined areas. This extends to calls, videos, music etc. It’s ridiculously selfish and I try to mention it to the person every time. Just wear headphones! I feel like the more people don’t say anything the more ‘acceptable’ it becomes.

Also, people who are loud in quiet zones. It’s one thing if there’s no other room and you have a baby or something but most of the time I see groups being really loud in the quiet zone where there’s loads of room elsewhere.

I get the train a lot… 😳
