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.

People chewing gum. The sound of chewing in my ear makes me irrationally angry

Bluevelvetsofa · 10/01/2025 19:49

Those adverts for weekly magazines that build into some random thing and people get sucked in for years.

Cold feet. I’ve have been cold all day.

Wow! This moved fast!!

Also: shoes that are really comfortable when you try them and then become agony an hour into your fucking day.

People who say "myself" instead of "me".
People who write "should of" "would of" "could of". Or "loose" instead of lose. So many people are trying to "loose" weight.

Actually… some of these have appeared on my ‘Shorts’ over the last year, which I found really concerning, a) cos, why are you showing me this pre pubescent girl gyrating, in her bedroom without parents knowledge and consent, or anyway I didn’t imagine they would be thrilled, comments turned off and why are you doing this anyway, silly girl!!!

It's not even inappropriate content - the crap my 9 year old tries to put on if I'm out of the room for a second is just a boy playing Mario or a girl doing digital dress up of Disney characters. It's the tweens themselves and the way they sound/say things that makes me want to press the big red button on the human race.

5 day working weeks! I miss the holidays 😣

TooManyChristmasCards · 10/01/2025 19:52

People in my way. Talk, phone, faff, do whatever you want to do, but MOVE to the side!

Chocolate selection box. They make me fat.

It should be illegal not to print the bedding/sheet size on the care label.

TimetoPour · 10/01/2025 19:56

Cunts that take their phone calls on louder speaker so everyone has to listen to their two way shouty conversation.

and also the UN should enforce standardised bedding sizes globally and also duvets should have an arrow pointing to the top so you dont waste time putting the cover on sideways and having to redo it.

4x4s in London/big cities. You live in an urban area!!! You DO NOT need a Range Rover!

Also living rurally and thinking a toyota aygo is a good choice....my wheel trims are shagged

Merryoldgoat · 10/01/2025 19:57

@Thepossibility

I’ve ordered one.

I wonder if it’ll stop The Tories knocking too 🤔

People who walk around in dirty tracksuit trousers, especially when they’re grey. Urine in carpets. Nose pickers. Fried chicken shop smell.

Newsenmum · 10/01/2025 19:58

Those horrible loud funfaires and winter wonderland wannabes.

XenoBitch · 10/01/2025 19:59

Selling cleaning products in a spray bottle where the straw does not go all the way to the bottom, and you ending up wasting about half an inch of product.

emmax1980 · 10/01/2025 20:00

Loud cars/bikes, people speaking loudly and inconsiderate parking all at the back of house

NeverKnowinglyUnderstated · 10/01/2025 20:00

Those stupid ultra-bright headlights

Clingfilm that shreds itself so you can't find the end

Unsolicited advice

Pigeons that eat all the food I put out for the little robin

The word "amazing". Why is the most mundane, ordinary stuff described as amazing these days?

People who don't pronounce the "l" in words such as bottle or hospital.

Facetime on public transport.

ETA: Fucking Rucksacks! Stop draping the straps all over the disgusting floor of the tube and then swishing them in my face.

OneSharpPlayer · 10/01/2025 20:01

The messages that pop up when you're browsing for an item online, telling you that "47 people have looked at this item today" etc so that you can't actually see the bloody item. I don't care. Rage inducing.

Absolutely yes! It all makes me so cross.

Newsenmum · 10/01/2025 20:02

I hate it when you’re really tired and trying to clean up, then you drop something and there’s even more mess.

People who can't park properly

I can park but mine is people who edge too close or beep their horns when you are trying to park. How do they think that will help anyone? Hmm

Over-indulgent dog owners. Don't let it jump at people, don't bring it into cafes if it won't behave and be quiet and never, ever call it a furbaby!

Daytime TV adverts. It's no wonder the elderly get depressed, it's all funeral plans, overworked donkeys and suffering little children.
