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.

Kids using phones/tablets to watch cartoons/play games in restaurants without using headphones.

@panpipeschill I think we'd get on - assuming you haven't banned 'having a good old rant'!

Bathroom doors without locks.
If this is you, guests absolutely hate visiting your house, just so you know.

@SabreIsMyFave

Yes, the nightmare of choosing a password that meets all of the many requirements!

I recently had to change my work password and each time I thought I'd got it, a message popped up telling me it was insufficiently complex, or contained an element I'd used before.

Eventually I got so cross I marched down to IT and told them to generate a password for me that met all of their millions of criteria. TBF they did it.

I need to know the

”And many many more” bit now, otherwise your comment should be banned as per thread title😂

What on earth is "coffee badging" dare I ask?

I've never heard of it

"It is where you show up to the office long enough for a coffee or a meeting expressly to fulfill in-office mandates — while primarily continuing to work from home whenever you can"

I was searching for an Urban Dictionary definition ( in the hope it was rude ) .

I use Google Chrome and it suggests a strong password. Makes it so much easier

Phone zombies need to be banned, as does the amount of disability admin which I wouldn't have to do as much if if people did their job properly

People who walk really slowly (if not disabled obviously) and take up the whole pavement in doing so.

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks that , just how does it happen ?
Blindingly bright light to look at but cast absolutely no light beam .

I don’t have an issue with jeans but for me joggers are for at home, not in the street or even in restaurants and bars as I’ve seen recently!

DS1 (26) would have been ribbed mercilessly if he wore joggers to a party/school uniform day. Imo the post-lockdown athleisure trend has gone too far.

People at work who stand infront of doorways having a natter like they own the place and I don't have places to go or things to do.

Can I pass through please? Nobody cares about your girly weekend away.

Ah I thought it was going to be the little pictures baristas make on the top of coffees, like hearts or leaves or whatever

@BlueRidgeMountain Have you tried a Blisterpack pen? It is basically a ballpoint pen with a needle in the tip instead of ink. Requires less strength and dexterity than signing your name. Various disability aid sites have them varying from c £10 to c £15 which is quite expensive for what it is but worth it for me and DD.

Cats and anything related to cats, including the endless ‘Has anyone seen my Tiddles?’ messages on facebook community forums*. Cats kill birds and crap everywhere. Why do vegans always have cats?

Men who do stretches and yoga poses in mixed-sex saunas. No, I don’t want your wing-dang-doodle thrust in my direction.

Elderly, confused and dithering drivers. You’re dangerous. Stop self-certifying.

’Conspicuous parenting’: the phenomenon of talking loudly to your child and forcefully making all in the vicinity hear how good and child-centred a mother you are. No, I am not interested in which hand dryer in the women’s toilet Tommy would like to use.

*’Does anyone know who the black and white cat in Waitrose car park belomg to? I’m worried about it’s mental health’ was a classic.

Hotel rooms hotter than the sun. Why? Heat stops sleep.

Oh god yes to the cats. I just do not understand cat people.
And if you're going to be a cat person can you at least keep the little bugger indoors for the sake of the wildlife
And if you can't be bothered to keep it indoors can you at the VERY least put a bloody bell on it's collar!!
People constantly banging on about cats on Facebook drive me mad. One lady living next to a train station was very aggressively complaining that the station staff keep asking her to stop her cat hanging around the station and crapping all over the platform because they had to clean it up. She kept calling him "the station cat" and claiming everyone loves him. They don't, love, just you.
Anyway after dealing with enough of Tiddles's (literal) shite someone picked him up and popped him on a train going five hours away. Bubi 👋🙊

There's a parent at school who does this - always loud, very bouncy and over emphasised, drives me bananas. She and her toddler were waiting at a level crossing, didn't realise I was behind, and she talked to her in a normal voice.

station staff keep asking her to stop her cat hanging around the station- by law cats have the right to roam so asking her to stop him is ridiculous
crapping all over the platform just as likely to be a fox . I have 2 cats and they use a tray (each) there's only so much waste a cat will produce and they are much more inclined to do their business somewhere secluded . Whereas foxes are more brazen and they will be loitering about the station as it is a source of food waste .
Anyway after dealing with enough of Tiddles's (literal) shite someone picked him up and popped him on a train going five hours away. Bubi and this is vicious , nasty , cruel and uncalled for behaviour . Hopefully who ever did this is found and it is not one of those Not All Heroes Wear Capes things either . This is a living animal .

Edited to add -
could be feral cats , there are always mice and rats about , the ferals will help to control them , but again they are likely to shit in a sheltered spot not out on the platform

Nope. Every inch of the platforms are covered by security cameras. The cat was seen shitting on the platform, right in the middle of it, several times, every night. I agree, unusual, but that was the case and that's why she was told about it and asked to do something about it.

Cats do not care about their owners. It would have been fine in it's new home, it would have simply hung around the station being fed by all the wierd cat lovers that pass through every day and probably found a new home (or several) to latch onto.
Good news is, noone was wheeling luggage through it's crap any more.

Barbecues.

I’m adding cold sores. I got them when I was about 8 the first time. I hardly ever get them - maybe 3 further attacks in my life but the one I got this week is so sore and right in the middle of my lip. 😣

Wwhhyyy??!!

I can't wait for BBQ season!!

I can't bear them. I know most don't agree with me but I hate it all.
Smoke

Smoky food

Knowing there's a perfectly decent kitchen indoors not being used

Wasps

Have to keep windows closed on a hot day because of aforementioned smoke (I know you can get smokeless ones but people love fires and smoke)

If there are lots of people attending you end up not having a place at a table so you're sat in a garden chair, balancing a paper/plastic plate on your lap, trying not to get sweetcorn butter on your clothes

Compliments to the 'chef' for burning some meat
Perishable food sat out in the sun

I could go on forever. I just can't bear it 🤣

Edited because I can't do bullet points

Oh don't forget - you have a few loads of washing out , just taking advantage of a good washing day .
Then you think "I'll go and bring it in soon...."

Someone has lit a BBQ

I don't really want my clean clothes to smell of smoke (and if I;m honest the smell of cooking meat outside isn;t a smell I want to wear ). I know I can shut the doors etc but if anyone wants to BBQ then they must realise their neighbours might have washing out .

Bonfires are usually done at night for this reason.

Shuuuut uuupp!!!
