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?

What do you hate?

Sitting in miles and miles of roadworks

The walk of grief.

Email subscriptions - inbox flooded daily with emails from companies which I bought something off years ago! (Yes, I need to unsubscribe asap!!)

People who do not indicate

People who don't listen to something you're saying or telling them about but constantly have something 'better' or that outdoes your conversation, therefore, having little empathy or not bothering to care or question about what you've just said (MIL!)

Very rich influencers on Instagram or TikTok who cannot spell or use grammar correctly

Dexterrolledoffthesofa · 12/12/2024 13:14

People who misuse the word 'myriad'

user2848502016 · 12/12/2024 13:16

People who pull up when they're driving, holding up traffic, and stick their hazards on - when they're not broken down and could have pulled up further down and not caused a problem. Just entitled

stayathomer · 12/12/2024 13:21

Cleaning the large outside bin and then suddenly it’s as bad!!

When people leave weetabix in a bowl and you only notice it the following day!

when the cat tries to trip me up as I’m carrying stuff

Cleaning our horrible bathroom!

when you need an app to pay for parking!

Nevermind91 · 12/12/2024 13:23

About 90% of road users and Christmas 'specials' on tv. Otherwise, life's good.

mumtotwo11 · 12/12/2024 13:31

"Influencers" all doing the same "viral hack " -- I do not need to see a tension pole wrapped in foliage etc 27473 million times

Also, influencers who apologise for not being online ... like anyone actually cares

Cyclists who don't follow the road rules, who mount the pavements to avoid traffic/lights, then drop back onto the road

People who just stop to chat to a friend in the middle of a busy shopping centre, at Christmas time ... MOVE TO THE SIDE!

Drivers not indicating

Flaky people

I am sure I will think of more ...

WalterdelaMare · 12/12/2024 13:49

Utterly naff Christmas lights. In my village alone, we have attractive houses with completely tasteless icicles on soffits, strings of lights following roof lines, strings of lights draped across bushes in lines, bright lights on one bit, yellow on another… people have no idea whatsoever.

idrinkandiknowthings · 12/12/2024 14:04

Jotstuki, don't sit on the fence, tell us how you really feel lol

Drivers who don't indicate
Drivers who take corners and lean into a 45 degree angle doing so
Drivers who ignore the reasoning behind a boxed junction
Drivers who block roads
Drivers who don't thank you when you let them out
The driver who didn't thank me yesterday when I risked my place in a huge queue of traffic to pull alongside him to tell him his fuel cap was wide open.

Drivers, basically 😆

Oh! Cyclists who think the rules of the road don't apply to them and sail through red traffic lights.

My face. I have (or so I've been told) that I have a resting "friendly, approaching person" face. Strangers chat to me often, and if I'm on a packed bus with just a few seats left, I'm almost always the one people choose to sit next to.
This would probably be really nice if I didn't have social anxiety and just want to get from A to B with nobody talking to me 😂 (just adding in that I'm never rude to anyone, I do chat back and they're none the wiser that I'd like them to go away 😅)

changedusernameforthis1 · 12/12/2024 14:18

Also, take out places that make non-spicy food, spicy.
I'm looking at you, my local Indian, who gave me a Korma that was so hot I couldn't finish it and god knows what they did to the chips.

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 12/12/2024 09:43

This. ^

The 'tell it like it is' brigade. The ones who think that being blunt and rude and 'honest' is some kind of positive attribute. Sometimes it's OK to just say nothing. If your opinion has not been asked for, why are you giving it?

The ‘tell it like it is’ brigade also feel this rule in no way applies to them and are the most defensive and aggressive people if you give them any constructive criticism or offer a different opinion.

Iloveyoubut · 12/12/2024 14:37

People who order from an Italian menu and use an Italian accent when they’re not Italian.

The Human Race. I WIN.

Mokel · 12/12/2024 16:07

Self entitled people

Parents say their DC have autism etc when it’s actually their crap parenting

Retired people who shop on Saturday morning. Hear more working aged people getting frustrated with their antics of dwelling over which jam they want. People of working age just want to grab a jar of jam and go.

People who don’t cover mouths when coughing

HangingOver · 12/12/2024 16:07

Bloody bloody bloody COVID

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 12/12/2024 18:11

A little tip re: Chuggers.

I simply tell them that I already have a DD with them.

Glasgowgal200 · 12/12/2024 18:18

The scarf one - I do that😂😂😂🧣🧣🧣🧣

Rubyupbeat · 12/12/2024 18:29

My only real hate is drug dealers, the ruined lives they leave behind is heartbreaking . I actually can't put into words the hate I have for those filthy scumbags.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 12/12/2024 19:33

People parking on zig zags.
People who don't flash to let people out.
People who get right up your arse when you're literally in traffic approaching traffic lights.
People aggressively beeping you to go through the light even though it's about to change and its already queued so bad that if you go you'll be stuck illegally in a junction box blocking traffic from a million directions. And you've got baby on board stickers on. I've actually stuck my head out the window and shouted to the van driver "Where do you want me to go!?" And he meekly apologised.
