Things you hate...

[Makingchocolatecake]

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?

I hate this too. Joe Biden banged on about how he was 'IRISH!' when he first became president. Err, no mate, you're AMERICAN. His Irish ancestors go back many generations in AMERICA. The first one of them to come to America from Ireland came in the early 1800s. All of them were born in America after that, including Joe Biden who was born in the early 1940s. He's not Irish FFS! 😆

I am one of the bags on seats because I hate sitting in an empty bus or carriage then some smelly big person eating wotsits and listening to loud game music on speaker SITS NEXT TO ME!

This made me LOL sorry @ismu 😆 It was the 'eating wotsits' bit! Don't wotsits STINK when someone else is eating them?! 😬

I was in the waiting room at the doctors yesterday and I was sat like, 10 chairs away from anybody else. (There's about 70 chairs in there altogether,) and some great big fat sweaty middle aged man decides to come and sit right next to me. Like just why?! He stunk as well - stale ciggies and B.O! And his legs spread out so he was almost touching me! 😖

After about 2 minutes, I got up to go to the toilet, and then just went and sat somewhere else. He kept looking over at me for about 5 minutes. 'Just bore off.' I thought. 'I don't have to sit next to you! You entitled, man-spreading twat!'

Litter and swearing. Unpopular opinion I'm sure.

The person who delivers leaflets with their dog and lets it run around my front garden shitting in it.

The sodding Santa sleigh that has charity workers knocking on the front door and standing there for 10 minutes.

Groups of slow walkers who take up the whole pathway.

Gentle parenting which has resulted in a generation of rude and feral children.

@Potatowonkeyes I feel your pain !

The group of 6-8 mums where i live who have to shop together with their pushchairs. When only 1-2 of them actually buy something. They clog up the shop.

The simplest of things now has to be "an experience" ffs I just want to see a Father Christmas in a little grotto for £5 not to spend all day in a field paying £20 for a hot dog and £40 for a shite key ring photo

Apostrophes indicate a missing letter, or letters. As an example, you're is short for you are. They also indicate possession, for example the girl's bag (the bag belonging to the girl) or parents' evening (an evening for parents.)

They're never used for plurals, such as I bought flowers today or I was born in the 80s.

'80s would also be correct as the apostrophe indicates the missing 19, but it is now acceptable to write 80s. Just don't put the apostrophe before the s!

Oh god yes to retired people who spend forever picking up and putting back every item on the shelf, reading the packaging in between. Just pick one! Booths is the worst for this (as you have to be retired to afford to shop there).

Oh and now, the new flavour of “original” Pringles. They taste disgusting, they haven’t advertised that the flavour has changed and they are certainly not original!

When one person on a large WhatsApp group wishes someone a happy birthday or get well soon and every other person does EXACTLY THE SAME so your phone pings with unnecessary messages all day!!

Men pissing in public, men with their hands down their pants in public

Smashing things, I absolutely hate it. Often seen in FB posts like 'little Billy absolutely smashed his role as sheep number 3 in the nativity today.' 'yeah mate, smashed it.' honestly makes my feel almost violent!

Also double negatives, I didn't do nothing and the like. Argh!

People that are on the phone at supermarkets going through all the different types of pasta available to whoever is on the other side of the phone.

If the person on the other side of the phone is the one who usually shops is unable to due to illness, injury, surgery etc - write the list with the type of pasta you want. Also include size, flavour, brand etc of the other items on list.

Apps can fuck off. Being pestered to download apps so you can access something.

People who cheat and use their phones at pub quizzes. We were on holiday recently and one of the evening's entertainment was a quiz. There was an announcement and a general acceptance that phones weren't to be used, as is the whole point of the game. Still, the table next to us claimed one person wasn't playing, so that person was permitted to sit scrolling on their phone. Of course, they were googling answers and showing their players under the table. I feel like pub quizzes have been spoiled by smart phones.

You could write, I like 80s’ music (music belonging to the 80s).

Yes! I had an American Facebook friend unfriend me after I made a polite but speculative comment under her many St Patrick's day pictures marvelling at how differently it was celebrated in America vs in Ireland and the UK. She was highly aggrieved to hear it wasn't 'authentic'.

People who brake and slow right down in their car then only when turning the corner put their indicators on.

Secrets and lies

Because they're c#nts with no brain cells.
It does not need doing.
I had a breed that people used to crop the ears of i can't imagine anyone chopping his lovely floppy ears.

Yes, you certainly could. To indicate possession again. Music of the 80s. That's not what is seen though. All over SM you see 60's, 70's, 80's. It's awful.

Yes, this is the point everyone wilfully forgets.

No they aren't pointless, it's cathartic to rant.

Add also people who park on pavement.

I had a really good one yesterday. I was in Winchester, walking down a narrowish road on the pavement. A van drives past quite fast, drives onto the pavement, and then starts reversing back along it. I yell at him, and he stops. Everyone turns to look at me (and him). Plonker.

In a similar vein, I was walking home and started walking across the mouth of a side road. A van came and pulled in as if he was stopping, but then started to reverse into the side road he had very clearly seen me crossing to turn round. Another plonker.

I want a really loud bell that I can ring at these people!

Yes! And bonus points when they part park on the pavement (with their engines running) too!
