Just for fun to take our minds off the huge, horrible stuff in our lives.

Tiny, tiny cloves of garlic
"Pull tab here"

People who say 'x years of age' instead x years old.

People who press road crossing buttons THEN look at the road. See there's not a car in sight and cross. When they're long gone the lights change to red and the traffic lines up for nobody there. Look first!

People that leave bins and recycling boxes out on the pavement for days on end instead of bringing it back into their garden or drive the same day as bin day !
They blow over and end up obstructing pavements etc and just make the street look awful.
Take ownership of your bins - aaah!
( Currently have a bin sitting on pavement for 9 days now and yes the lazy gits are in , as I’ve seen them walking by it daily as they stroll up and down to their house )

Also why do they have to have signs for eg CCTV, surely it's ment to catch people and it's eg security etc so why have the sign giving it away that it's there.

Skirting- hate the way it looks and cleaning it and how you’re stuck with it and can’t even change it. Just don’t like it

LaMarschallin · 16/08/2023 22:41

People on Pointless who say "I was just going to say that!" when someone gives a really good pointless answer, then says some utter crap that shows they have no idea what the question is about.
No You Bloody Weren't Going to Say That and Nobody Bloody Believes You!

And bumping my head.
It doesn't have to be a hard bump, it just makes me irrationally annoyed. It's worse because there's not even anyone to blame. If alone, I often thump the offending cupboard door, or whatever, and hurt my hand too.

@beconase
I'd popped into a crystal shop the other day for a nosey and those signs were everywhere. Just the weirdness of this business thinking they were so spiritual but at the same time being passive aggressive judgemental cnuts.

People that use 'infer' incorrectly.

Bloody 67 verses the washing machine sings to let you know it has finished.

Plants - they are so melodramatic - always threatening to die just for attention.

@Hawkins009 images of people are classed as ‘personal data’ and you would be breaching GDPR regs to obtain personal data without people knowing in a public place. So legally, you have to display the signs 😊

Flimsy plastic on freezer drawers.

I know the manufacturers have designed them to break, thinking I'll buy new. No way!!

People who pronounce paella the proper way (instead of pie - Ella)With the accent and everything. Usually smugly. Technically I’m totally unreasonable as they are right but it seems like they are showing off even though they are probably not 😂

My washing machine sings like this:

I hadn't seen this and I posted the same - we have Samsung too! 😡😠

Ibizafun · 16/08/2023 22:47

Americanisms like "reach out" instead of text message, or "jump on a zoom"

Youd think they’d get a Woo feeling if a shoplifter was at large

Not being able to edit posts on MN so I can't change "says" to "say"...

"People on Pointless who say "I was just going to say that!" when someone gives a really good pointless answer, then says some utter crap"
Hmm

Sososadallthetime · 16/08/2023 22:50

When people type in the old texting style that I used as a teen such as nite, 2moz, m8 ect.

People who faff at tills.

People who never admit when they're wrong.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 16/08/2023 22:50

The term 'comfort break'. Just fuck off.

marmiteloversunite · 16/08/2023 22:50

People who say brought instead of bought.

The new stickers on wrapping paper rolls instead of cellophane. I must ruin at least a third of a metre each time I try to open them. Makes me fume!

People who put - This - on a MN comment, it's lazy, you should have your own opinions

Mapletreelane · 16/08/2023 22:52

People who fill up with fuel at the "pay at the pump " pump then waltz off into the shop to pay. NOOOOOOO! AND SPEND 23 MINUTES IM THERE.

If you need to go into the shop use the "not pay at the pump' pump and FREE UP THE "PAY AT THE PUMP" PUMP FOR THOSE THAT......PAY AT THE PUMP!
