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.

People who hold their phone In front of there face to talk while it is on speakerphone so everyone has to endure the conversation.
People who eat with their mouth open, or loudly sucking fingers clean after eating

I have to have my phone on speak if it rings in public and my dominant hand is busy with something else. I do make sure it's quick etc. But I don't do it to be a twat.

People who click their bones loudly every 10 mins.
I just don't believe it needs to be done that often or they pain they claim to be in if they don't click

People who lie and then expect you to believe the next thing they tell you

My SDC’s uncles, who has been encouraging them to ride their bikes without helmets, because it’s safer that way.

I’m not even joking.

People who reach over you to get to a shelf in the supermarket! fuck off and wait your turn!

are you one of these people that spends 3 hours selecting a chicken?

Nope just check the date and move on. People who spend a lifetime inspecting every single thing 3 times over are equally as bad!

Staff in schools who set homework involving craft. My children have zero interest in painting cardboard boxes or similar and I have zero interest in cleaning up the mess and/or managing their wildly unrealistic expectations of what I am capable of making.

(I generally have massive respect for everyone working in schools though...)

I guess it helps him to pretend the place is busier than it actually is with paying customers.

Each to their own. 😉

Packed out at the weekends.

No idea. Because I don't go in mid week.

Girls who put an entire face on makeup on whilst on the train. Argh. Just stop it.

BobSacamono · 29/11/2022 15:27

Personally sick to death of people posting updates about having to face their personal struggles alone and will remember the fam that was there for them and those who weren’t.

Yes! This gives me the rage!

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 !

Ah see now this one gets my goat for 2 reasons: 1. just mothers and not fathers? 2. some mothers WORK and have to step out of their home office to collect their kids but still try to attend meetings and the like. It's a really hard thing to juggle at times.

Sennelier1 · 29/11/2022 16:22

I hate it when the people just in front of you and you all have been queueing for ages and then finally it's their turn and they don't know what they want to have. "I might buy steak today but maybe susages? Hm, difficult. What would you suggest?" Or start messaging their DP about what kind of sandwich he/she would like, and to the person behind the counter "just a moment, I'm waiting for an answer here".

Fair enough.

It's also fair enough that you're happy to place yourself/your handbag where a dog's dirty arse and/or balls have been whilst I'm not.

Different folks, different strokes.

My cat sleeps on my pillow. So where I place my bag is the least of my worries.

Dog walkers who wear the the dogs lead around their neck and walk on leaving their dog to run up to and annoy dogs on leads ...oh and they dont pick up their dogs mess as they didnt see them do it 😡

People who park in disabled spaces without a blue badge.

Smokers.

Teachers who spread girls out in class to improve the boy's behaviour. This might just be the reason girls are not choosing computer science for GCSE or A Level. A girl might spend all of her classes siting between two boys, is it any wonder she picks childcare, or health and social care when she knows she will not be next to or between two boys.

Eh? I’m a teacher and I would never, ever do this. Nor would any teacher I know. As for this being the reason (as you put it) girls would pick childcare or health and social care?! Wtf? Such a bizarre comment!

The people who ONLY go to the pub on Christmas eve and expect to be served before all the locals who drink there every week.

Surely the first person to the bar should be served first wether they’re a regular or not? Can’t stand the whole parochial “this is a local pub for local people attitude”

Lakeyloo · 29/11/2022 16:44

People who don't say thank you when you hold a door open/let them go first/let them pull out of a side road into a queue of traffic.

People who walk 4 abreast (normally very slowly, chatting away, and oblivious to anyone else) across a pavement so that no one can get past.

People who hold their phones at a 45 degree angle to their chin while they speak into the bottom of it (What IS that all about ??)

People who fill up with petrol at non pay at the pump petrol stations and then proceed to do their weeks shopping when they go in to pay.

People who dawdle down the middle of a supermarket isle with their trolley and entire family in tow.

People who wait until the cashier tells them how much their shopping is before they start searching for their purse/wallet... Surely they didn't think it was going to be free ??

People who think they are too important to join a traffic queue so bully their way in at the last minute.

Definitely anyone who abuses animals, children, or anyone else for that matter.

Whoever scraped my car (badly) and drove off without owning up

My other half's ex boss

JemimaTiggywinkles · 29/11/2022 16:54

People who go into work when sick and play the martyr. All you're doing is spreading your germs around and making other people sick. My boss did this last week (and ended up taking a couple of days off anyway) and now me and two colleagues are off sick with flu. Stupid, selfish behaviour.
