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.

Shit drivers
People who deliberately send their poorly children to other peoples homes/childcare/school.

xogossipgirlxo · 29/11/2022 10:28

People who think it's OK to talk to someone you know on the street, and then light a cigarette. Who said I want to inhale it?

ArtichokeAardvark · 29/11/2022 10:32

Slow walkers.

People who play music with their phones on speaker in public.
Anyone who eats hot food on public transport.

catsonahottinroof · 29/11/2022 10:33

People who eat on public transport - there is no excuse to eat anything on buses. Longer train journey, sandwiches understandable but crunchy crisps should be banned! Also people who sniff on public transport, just blow your nose or stay at home!

People who pick up and squeeze every avocado on display to see how ripe they are 🥑

peachescariad · 29/11/2022 10:36

Middle lane motorway drivers
Cyclists
Parents who don't control their kids in restaurants
Owners of bullys and 'barely legal' pit bulls and the like
Arrogant male drivers

....oh and Nicola Sturgeon....had to sneak that one in 😆

The chiselling bastard who decided that you needed to added your reg number to car park tickets so you can no longer pass the unused portion to others. Just imagine what a petty minded anti-social boring little prick you need to be to think this up.

Slow walkers? Really? Sorry for getting in your way 🙄

HectorPlasm · 29/11/2022 10:49

Forgot one - the driver you are stuck behind who goes at 40 all the way through the clear open 60 section and then stay at 40 when they reach the built up congested 30 section - what I wouldn't give for James Bond machine guns behind my headlights at that point! ☠

PeeJayDay · 29/11/2022 10:50

People who start a sentence with "See" Hmm

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 😄

How do you know who is more in need if they are already sat down? Do they need to wear a sign?

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.

My friends husband is that person. They were already late for a christening and he noticed a CD out of place (was a long time ago) on the shelf so had to re-alphabetise the whole collection before they left. Friend was livid.

BuryingAcorns · 29/11/2022 10:58

People who stop at the foot of an escalator or in a doorway to decide where to go next. But especially the escalator blockeras. I once had to shove one out of the way to avoid a serious pile up behind her. They can have a place on a scalding perpetual and overcrowded escalator for eternity.

ToWhitToWhoo · 29/11/2022 11:00

Drivers and cyclists who ignore it when the light is green for pedestrians

People who park their bikes in such a way that the bike spreads all across the pavement and blocks it for pedestrians.

People who stand chatting in groups on the pavement and block it for other pedestrians.

Senior people in a workplace who have a dispute or rivalry with one another, and use more junior people as pawns.

People who try to get me to tell them when my birthday is or in any way disregard my strong wish not to be reminded of it.

catsonahottinroof · 29/11/2022 11:00

People who put their bags on seats on busy trains, then pretend to be oblivious when people are looking for somewhere to sit and make a big fuss about moving their things.

Oh God, I have one of those at home. He starts sorting recycling or rubbing a mark off the floor when we're already half an hour late - because of him and his epic lack of time awareness. But I think it would be rather cruel to consign my DP to hell. I think?😅

Definitely this bastard.

Also the person who invented the horrible, narrow, sloping seats in bus shelters. Short people, such as DD and I, can’t even sit on them. Apparently, they’re like this to stop homeless people from sleeping on them. What sort of person sees homeless people sleeping in bus shelters and come up with this as the solution?

Also:

Brexiteers who’ve applied for Irish passports

The people in charge of customer service at banks and utility companies

Every Tory Health Secretary ever. How do they sleep at night?

Axolotlquestions · 29/11/2022 11:05

Women who promote gender ideology.

fairgame84 · 29/11/2022 11:15

Sam Smith.

DarkNecessities · 29/11/2022 11:38

Motorists who think they have more right to the road than cyclists.

Workmen who don’t finish jobs or turn up when they say they’re coming.

Evri/Hermes drivers

People who claim poverty but spend a fortune each day on take out coffees and lunch.

Snowflake women. Get a grip.

I agree on most of these, especially the deadbeat dads and the drink drivers, but would like to point out that sometimes the people who don't offer their seats on transport may have their own issues that are not immediately obvious. I have always had co-ordination problems which, among other things, affect my ability to balance when standing in a moving vehicle, and put me in real danger of falling. Now that I am older and my disabilities are (alas) more noticeable, I have less trouble over seats; but when I was younger, people often looked askance at me if I failed to offer my seat to older people.

Yeah, he'd deprive the tortured souls there of their last shred of sanity.

Remembered another one that's new in my world.

Dogs sitting on seats in public areas. I don't want to sit/put my handbag on a seat that has had your dog's germ-ridden arse all over it, thanks.

Partner and I were heading to a rather expensive hotel for a long weekend a few weeks ago. We were heading there until I noticed in their visitors' gallery two dogs, with different owners, with their arses parked on seats at tables, and another couple of pictures of (different) dogs lying on beds.

Booking cancelled within five minutes and accurate reason for cancellation provided.

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