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.

All the local ( busy) post offices, who at any time of day during opening hours have one manned till open, whilst the queue stretches out of the door. Divert some staff to actually serve customers please. They wouldn’t be standing in the queue if they didn’t need help.

The white van man who stopped his van on a blind bend with double white lines, put on the hazards and refused to move. He wasn’t delivering, there was no problem with the van, he just stopped. No one could overtake and the traffic built up alarmingly.

My ex, who made our divorce hell on Earth for me, refusing to turn up at court, refusing to give his paperwork to the court. Eventually Judge ordered if he did not turn up at next appointment he would make judgement in his absence. Also refusing to make maintenance payments for DC until eventually employer had to deduct it from his salary. Then he had the nerve to tell our friends, I had made life very difficult for him and "stole" a big chunk of his pension.

People who hold doors open in cafes, restaurants etc because their friend is behind them ........still getting out of the car etc! Close the sodding door til they arrive - those of us sitting inside don't want to be in a draft!

abw94 · 29/11/2022 22:06

People who park in a parent & child space with no child

Paleo, Keto, and Low Carb loyalists/fanatics.

Can I add Peleton obsessives to that please

Pheefifofuckthisshit · 29/11/2022 22:40

People who smugly tell you all their little angels always slept through the night.

Dawdlers.

People who go food shopping as an entire family outing taking up the whole aisle.

People at tills who are always stunned when the cashier announces the price. They then slowly finish packing their shopping, ask again how much, and then retrieve their purse/Waller, then slowly count out the total in cash. 🙄 Fgs have your card or cash ready, you know it's going to be needed!

People on foreign holidays that post a picture titled "my office today". Just stop.

RainbowCat26 · 29/11/2022 23:18

People who ask incessant questions right at the end of the meeting, usually questions which would have been covered if they were listening properly. Extra points if the meeting is at 4pm or on a Friday!

People who bang on the baby changing door, I’m very unlikely to be choosing to hang around in a dank shit smelling toilet longer than I have to!

Entitled people who think they're special and exceptions should be made for them.

Book your seats before you travel like I did. I won't move to make your life easier just because you think it would be the kind thing to do. For example.

TirisfalPumpkin · 30/11/2022 07:03

Cyclists who menace pedestrians, and their stupid shorts with bum padding.

People who kick off about normal, non smelly food on trains/buses. We’re not talking an entire KFC here, but I’m going to pass out if I don’t eat something.

parents who think the whole carriage needs to listen to their kid’s incipient screen addiction with the tablet volume on max.

non-self-aware slow walkers. It’s okay to be slow but jfc pull over and let people pass. Special mention to the obese woman who used to waddle down the middle of the busy street leading to my previous work, absorbed in her kindle and with an infuriated mass of commuters behind her. Her special place in hell will be a standard Ryanair seat and a flat kindle battery.

calmness and serenity descends, that felt good.

moleeye · 30/11/2022 07:19

@meatyryvita yep, could not agree more!!

I work full time and sometimes have to do a conf call on the school run (equally shared between DH!). This is a compromise so my children aren't in wraparound care every single day.

It won't kill them not to talk to me on the 20 mins or so it takes to walk home.....

Is it a common theme then with them?

I'm expecting to be told off by her this morning 🙄

TopOfTheCliff · 30/11/2022 07:37

Contractors who park their vans in the oncology car park taking up all the patient spaces so I have to park miles away and struggle to walk in to chemotherapy breathless and exhausted before I start.

Weirdos who object to my mask. I’m neutropenic mate. Leave me alone.

The Christian lady who told me God had sent me cancer to teach me kindness and empathy. Look in the mirror lady!

@TirisfalPumpkin I know this is supposed to be lighthearted, but Christ Almighty I'm struggling to find any humour in this nasty little comment.

Bloody hell. Just occasionally I wish there actually was a Final Judgement, for the benefit of people like that.

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!

Would you please come and work at my daughter's school? She's had this since primary - sitting next to / being partnered with the naughty boys to model good behaviour / help them; being sat boy-girl as a whole class because the boys won't stop messing, and more recently being put in the group with the inexperienced, wet lettuce of a teacher because the actual useful, experienced staff are all working with the loud disruptive kids. Outstanding secondary, by the way. Be a bright, quiet girl and watch your education being sidelined....

Covidbegone · 30/11/2022 10:36

Companies who design silly shape toilets who make it impossible to find a replacement loo seat - quite niche?

HeatwaveToNightshade · 30/11/2022 10:52

Agree with @RedLeggedChuff this does happen. In P5 and P7 DS1 was deliberately placed beside a girl because they thought it would help to organise him (he's awaiting ASD assessment now). I wasn't happy about this as it wasn't fair on the girls that they were somehow made to feel responsible for the tidiness of his desk etc. What a message to girls, eh? He was a well behaved child, as confirmed by every teacher, just hopelessly disorganised (like me!) I know for a fact that more challenging boys were also being deliberately placed beside girls. Terrible idea.

TigerRag · 30/11/2022 11:17

When trades people give you a time of between 8 and 5pm and then whine because you weren't in! I have things I need to do
