Those toilet roll dispensers that only give you one piece at a time. End up using more because I scrunch them into a ball. Who ever uses just one piece?

Gift wrapping services. For one present maybe. But all of them? Waste of effort/money, know it goes to charity but you can donate anyway. Get some gift bags!

AIBU?

Entitled people.

LittleMissLateForWorkAgain · 12/12/2024 08:48

Unnecessary noise and drama like the cleaner banging the hoover and bucket about when I m on the phone.
The bus service. Been without a car for 2 weeks and left standing many times it's late or doesn't turn up.

People who cook. Are REALLY into food and cooking but don't bloody wash up or clean the kitchen after themselves.

Christmas preparation talked about everywhere. Been very ill for 3 weeks and can't be bothered. Just want to run away to a beach somewhere.

Organised religion.
Nosey people.
Gossips.
The smell of burnt toast.
The smell of tuna.
Liars.

People who take up seats on a packed bus with thier bags (and I don't mean if you have a lot of shopping and not much room) I mean people taking up a seat JUST because they dont want to have to sit next to someone. I have to stop my self screaming 'Are all your bags about to have a long hard day and need the rest?!?!? It boils my piss!!!

Chocolately · 12/12/2024 08:55

Boy racer noise at 6am
Self service checkouts
Car parking machines
Emails from companies you've bought from wanting ratings/surveys.
Wrapping paper that the sellotape won't stay stuck to.
Charity collectors who block your path to talk at you. No thanks, smile. No thanks, smile. Just fuck off, will you!

LaurenAction · 12/12/2024 08:57

To see people on TV cleaning their teeth. Just why?? You never see anyone washing their hands.

Back pain.

Bullying and controlling behaviour.

socks1107 · 12/12/2024 08:59

Dishonesty and laziness.

sunsettosunrise · 12/12/2024 08:59

Work secret santa. Every year I put the effort in to find a nice gift, only to get given some tat (this year was a pound store christmas mug).

Stormyweatheroutthere · 12/12/2024 09:01

People who don't drive at the speed limit.
Dc inside the actual trolley.
Ddogs on extendable leads..
Mem with their arses on show..

Christmas.
Winter.

Loads of things! One that springs to mind right now is people without headphones scrolling TikTok , reels etc on public transport and inflicting the noise on others.
Also people who walk slap bang in the middle of the pavement so there’s no room on either side to overtake.

I just say “excuse me could I sit there please” 🤷‍♀️

I4gotmyname · 12/12/2024 09:07

Public transport its awful.
Weed smoking
Shops/supermarkets. Avoid them.

LOveLaughToasterBath · 12/12/2024 09:08

People without empathy.
You have no idea what anybody life is like. You are not perfect. Be kind.

Flossyflop · 12/12/2024 09:08

People who don’t neuter their cats or who breed their pet dogs.

People who sell or give away kittens/puppies for free because of above.

People who get pets just for their own happiness and don’t think of the quality of life of the pet.

People who keep rabbits and small furries in shite cages for their whole lives. Also people who keep birds in tiny cages.

TinkerTiger · 12/12/2024 09:10

BLUETOOTH.

Why does connecting anything have to be so painful?

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/12/2024 09:10

At the moment it’s those large, lit-up, Christmas reindeer for your garden. I think they are breeding round my way, as everyone has a mummy-daddy-baby scenario in their front garden! It’s never happened before, it’s like one neighbour went Christmas-tastic in a tat shop, and everyone else got reindeer envy, lol. My dogs are scared of them and bark at them.

Mnetcurious · 12/12/2024 09:11

Post above reminded me that I also hate the fact that dogs are now everywhere so I can no longer go for a cup of coffee without encountering them.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/12/2024 09:13

Sorry @Mnetcurious, I am now in coffee shops with my dogs avoiding fucking fake reindeer…

Sophiasguitar · 12/12/2024 09:13

People who go to dog friendly places then moan about dogs.

BIossomtoes · 12/12/2024 09:15

Greed.

TheWorminLabyrinth · 12/12/2024 09:15

Charity muggers in Morrisons. A different one every week.

I’d happily avoid dog-friendly places if I could. Trouble is EVERYWHERE is now dog friendly.
