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.

From today:

People who think that if you’re turning right at any point on a fuel carriageway you must drive in the right hand lane (at 40mph) even if you are not overtaking.
Cycling clubs riding along in groups of 20+.
People on the supermarket who pick up and turn over every item, read the back and then choose something else.

That is a thing? Does it work and not wash off (especially with a child who might fiddle with the badges)? I have had iron on badges which were useless and always had to sew them. This could be a game changer!

People who ask for something then complain when you give it to them ffs

Oh I have another: adverts for weight loss jabs on FB. I weight 8stone ffs, I need to gain weight not lose it and the adverts are very triggering 😡.

Calendars which start a week on a Sunday

Dogs
Jammy Dodgers
self service checkouts
Phone queues
All advertising

Young men driving loud cars, and bikers revving up and down the bypass.

It worked for us!
Having had one son go through from Beavers to Explorers, when DS2 joined Beavers I was DONE with sewing the fuckers on.
The down side is they can't ever be removed to pass the sweatshirt down, but I was happy with that. They look great as well - no stitches showing, no bunching and less wonky (I was always pretty shit at sewing them on).

Chocolate that tastes rubbish, and full of palm oil.
Pistachio shells/jars/ containers that refuse to open.
Shrinkflation of any kind.
Needing an app to do almost anything these days.
Tights. They are like some kind of nylon frustration device.

Brain fog.
Peri weight gain.
Those that complain about large numbers of people self diagnosing (conditions like ADHD, autism etc) rather than directing their frustration at the long waiting lists and lack of resources.

People on the supermarket who pick up and turn over every item, read the back and then choose something else.

I'm one of these people sorry. I can't have caffeine or artificial sweeteners and if I'm making something for a lactose and dairy intolerant friend then I need to check all the labels for her too. When companies keep changing their recipes without warning it needs to be checked every time.

Those ridiculous burgers that you end up almost wearing as you try to eat it

Cyclists who come up behind on the pavement and start aggressively dinging their bell. Excuse me for not jumping into a hedge or under the wheels of a bus just because you don’t want to cycle on the road where you’re supposed to be!

People who stop in the doorway of a shop. Just why? Keep it moving, it’s too bloody cold out, save your kiss fest greeting ritual until you’ve cleared the entrance

Ah that makes sense of course, the item I was thinking of today was chicken, where the only ingredient is chicken!

Cyclists who ride on the road then cross as pedestrians at the lights.....

Might be country of origin then

"Lean in to it"
"reach out"
"the fam"

or other such drivel.

That vulgar advert with Paddy McGuinness where it sounds like he's saying fucking....why?

SheRun announcing their female only runs are now also open to men trans women.

Ah that makes sense of course, the item I was thinking of today was chicken, where the only ingredient is chicken!

If it's just a plain chicken I probably wouldn't check but if it had garlic and herbs or anything then I probably would check if there was butter for my friend just in case. As a PP said maybe origin? I don't tend to take my glasses (only for reading) when I'm shopping so some labels can be a pain. And yes I know I need to start taking them but I've only just had to start wearing them so I'm not used to that yet. 🙈

@orangesandlemonssaythebellsofstclements I'm glad you are calling out the fat cuddly unicorns sitting up in a babyish way as they've always irritated me in a way I can't put my finger on why.

I’d adding colds to the list. I feel rotten and was only sick in December. Urgh.

Those cuddly toys with the huge eyes.

Or what about "Fugglers" - I cannot post a photo , but some of them look like they'd kill you in your sleep !

People standing three abreast on train or underground platforms holding hands

Customer service surveys sent to you by providers of shite utility services which give you the illusion that you have a choice

Passwords to access every aspect of your online life. Entering them/remembering them/storing them/updating them takes about 25% of my time.

People eating smelly food on public transport

Companies charging to let you opt out of cookies.

I am sure we all have absolutely no idea which companies you are talking about .🤐

People who dither about at the bottom of escalators instead of moving out of the way. If only I was allowed a free pass to kick their arses.
