I’m in a mood. What should be banned (lighthearted)

[Merryoldgoat]

Fucking door knocking charity callers. Why is it allowed? It’s intrusive and I bloody hate it.

Pink deodorant - always cloying and horribly floral.

Having to refill rinse aid

I think the menopause is hitting hard today.

Dog shit on the pavement, people who don't pick it up should have it posted through their letterbox.

Wearing Dryrobes as fashion wear..

People dressing inappropriately for the weather.
Admittedly this is a 'me' thing but it's 1C today and Ive seen a lady in cycling shorts and a man wearing pool sliders with bare feet....I swear i get cold on their behalf!

but what constitute fashion wear?
They're brilliant when it rains, when it's cold, pretty much all year round.

Unless someone is bright red and sweating wearing one, I can't see when they should be "banned"

Mine does this too, he throws them into his mouth and I can hear them hit his teeth before he starts crunching them.

Oh this reminds me of taking driving directions :

MIL (non driver so I'll excuse her )
Me- "where are we going now" ?
MIL "It's where that car's going"
Me thinking : Which car ? There are dozens of them. "Which way ? Left/Right/Straight"? (I;m approaching a roundabout , don;t know the road and I really need to pick my lane now....)
MIL- "Oh just round here "

Aaaarghhh

I agree with this, you could put 20 different fruits in a smoothy and it would be fine , add a ¼ of a small banana and it becomes a banana smoothy.

Well, it is already banned. You can get fined for leaving dog poo in a public place.

Police officers on TV shows saying GSW when 'gun shot wound' has fewer syllables

That sodding tesco, I've got the power, advert.

Yes! I fucking hate it.
And the Lidl one... "ooooh". Arg!

When I was still teaching the caretaker brought a fairly large box up to my classroom, it was very light though. I opened it and there was nothing in there which I found quite puzzling. It was only a while later, when I was on the point of chucking it out, that someone said, What's that under the lid? There was a book we'd ordered, just a smallish paperback, it was stuck in a plastic envelope to the inside of the lid!

To be fair to politicians (and it hurts me as much as it hurts you), there are some sites where you have to wear protective clothing on the entire site, even if you are nowhere near the dangerous bits.

People that open plastic packets that have that re-seal strip and they don't re-seal it and just leave it wide open so the food goes stale.

As of this second, female tennis players who grunt and moan and shriek when hitting the ball. Sometimes it really sounds like a porno movie playing in the background. Someone's watching tennis in the next room and all I can hear is eh!, ugh! oh! eh! Ahh! eh-eh-eh Urrgh! Oh! Ah! I'm thinking fucks sake! Shut up! At least its not as bad as Maria Sharapova used to be.

Anyone who writes "u" for you and "b" for be. "Will u b going to the shop later?"

Mumsnet acronyms! Sometimes takes me ages to work out what I am reading.
Grown men who wear shorts in freezing conditions.
People who hang bags of dog poo on tree branches.

The use of the phrase "one hundred percent" on The Traitors.

DH suggested turning it into a drinking game, but if I took a drink every time one of them said it I'd have passed out by the end of the episode.

There was a radio show recently about people who wear shorts year round and people were phoning in. Nearly all the guys that do it work outdoors or were tradespeople so probably used to working in really cold conditions. I did wonder if it’s the working outside that has hardened them to year round short wearing or whether having a constitution that enables year round short wearing also enables you to do a job in the cold 🤣

One guy also made the valid point that it’s better than wet trousers if you do an outside job.

People who say “I know you’re on lunch but….”
socks/pants/clothes thrown NEXT to the empty wash bin
crumbs in the butter.

Shouldn't that be l8er 😜

Some years back saw Serena Williams play I think it was Sharpova at Wimbledon. After a few times whenever Serena served, she mimicking Sharapova's weird wobbly 'grunt', maybe about 3-4 times - Sharapova stopped the 'grunt' for the rest of the match. Crowd thought it very amusing.

Train stations with no toilets

Me too. And I take my bra off as soon as possible. 😆

Especially the ambiguous acronyms - DF could be father, friend, fiancé, DS - sister, son…. Mostly it can be worked out from the context, but there have definitely been times when it isn’t very clear.

Tourists on the tube during rush hour. Especially those with suitcases who convene at the entrance to the platform!
