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.

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

Because it stinks and it's rude to subject other people to it in an enclosed space.

Hoppinggreen · 29/11/2022 09:18

People with perfectly ordinary sized cars that park over the lines in a car park space

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!

See, I don't get this. If cafes etc don't want to serve people after a certain time, they should close their doors to new customers. Or put a sign up saying nobody gets served after such-and-such a time. Rather than staff grumpily serving people, then wiping tables and cordoning off areas and stacking chairs, making the customers feel like crap when they haven't done anything wrong.

I am now so irritated after typing this that I want cafe owners who let people in near closing time, then resent their presence, to be on THE LIST🤣🤣

People who sit with their car engines idling.Especially the mums parked on double yellow lines ,junctions and across driveways near our local school.Our children have to walk through you filthy fumes.
People who ill treat animals.Get dogs that are totally inappropriate for their lifestyle, put no effort in and let them behave badly giving responsible, caring owners a harder time from the anti-dog brigade.
Fly tippers and people who litter.Especially out of car windows.

Knnniggets · 29/11/2022 09:27

People who lean on the window in public transport to take a nap and leave a greasy hair stain. Yuck.

Brightstarowl · 29/11/2022 09:29

People who leave their trolley in the middle of the supermarket aisle whilst browsing. 😡

Saz12 · 29/11/2022 09:33

Parents picking up/dropping off children at a club who fly into /out of the very badly lit carpark (in the dark) at 30+mph, stop the car just anyhow as close to the entrance as possible (seldom in an actual parking bay, except the disabled ones beside the door) and leave in similar way. Hardly any of them EVER consider waiting to reverse or drive off if there’s a child waiting to walk past them (or maybe they’re just not looking). It’s jaw-droppingly dangerous. Obviously I walk mine across the carpark to/ from the door, and am more assertive than most under 10’s would be!

SocksAndTheCity · 29/11/2022 09:36

Men (only because I've never seen a woman do it) who can't swim the length of a pool without splashing and drenching everyone in the room. We know you're there, we can see you 🤬

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........

Oh yes…..

People who go for a walk in the country ( also some horse riders) and spread themselves across the single track road, yabbering away so they don't hear the warning sound of any other vehicle or cyclist or runner behind them, then instead of moving to the same side of the road, split into two groups and there's always one who can't decide which side to join!!

Drivers in the dark who slow down when a car comes in the opposite direction - particularly on an open road, then they speed up to a normal driving speed only to slow down again with the next oncoming car! Don't bloody drive in the dark if you can't drive in the dark!!!

Yes! And often with their handbag sitting on display. Seems a bit risky as well as bloody annoying.

But a deeper circle of hell for people who drive excessively large vehicles which won't fit in normal spaces properly anyway, and which cause unnecessary pollution and waste energy every mile they drive. (I don't mean people who actually need large vehicles for good reasons).

Appleass · 29/11/2022 09:46

Those who give up their dog when child comes along!

Mothers on their phones when they are walking their kids home from school, they haven't been with you all day, talk to them and give them your attention !

7upandup · 29/11/2022 09:46

People who park in parent/child spaces without a child, especially during the Xmas period where everyone is scrambling for a space

People who refuse to accept the fact they are ageing and dress like they are still 20, spend an absolute fortune on Botox, lip fillers, tans, nails and eye lash extensions. You are fifty! No amount of Botox is going to change that!

People who post selfies of themselves crying with a massive essay on why they are hard done by

Surely this can just be summed up as People wanting to shop at the same time as you? 😂supermarkets are a lot more pleasant without other people

The creator of passwords.

I'd definitely consign the thieves, fraudsters, troublemakers etc who make passwords and increasing levels of security necessary. Blame the burglar not the locksmith!

People who park on double yellows so they only have to walk a very short distance to the school.
What makes you so special

ErrolTheDragon · 29/11/2022 09:56

People who flash their headlights to 'thank' me for giving way, especially at night and especially on the bridge at the end of the village. No, I don't find being blinded conveys gratitude very well.Hmm

HavfrueDenizKisi · 29/11/2022 10:02

People who write long messages to their spouses on Facebook for birthdays/anniversaries. "You're my rock, my best friend, and amazing father to our perfect children etc etc" when their partner is no doubt sat on the sofa next to them.

People who phone in radio talk shows and give their usually shit and inarticulate opinions. No Beryl from Bognor I don't give a shit what you think about the migrant situation.

Anyone who voted for Brexit but now won't admit to it. Plus people who voted for Brexit.

Drivers who don't use their indicators. Oh so I'm suppose to telepathically know you're turning left then?

People who spell my name wrong even when it's written down in front of them eg my email address and how I signed off my name to the email I sent you. Are you fucking blind?

I am sure I can think of more. I'm becoming an intolerant menopausal woman!

People who breed XL Bullys then don't give a monkeys who they sell them to, no matter how inappropriate the setting they are sending them to.

People who are already late meeting you and turn up with a takeaway coffee in their hand.

That’s really unfair in this day and age. Most people order from transport via Apps so the cup is literally waiting their to grab as you walk past on direct route from transport to office door. If someone called me out on this it wouldn’t be pretty as getting that cup would not have delayed me past the 1sec (literally) it takes to check name in cup/lid is mine before grabbing it on my way.

If you are organised enough to arrange that shit - you should be organised enough to be at the meeting on time.
