We've had 2 birthdays in work today and I didn't join in with the singing of happy birthday. I hate it. Have a great day and all that but I don't feel the need to go and join in.

I also hate Christmas, it's a waste of money. Love the time with family but the rest of it can fuck off.

I also hate going for a wee and stopping for diesel.

What do you hate?

People who congregate in shop doorways or the middle of shop aisles to have a chat.

Fuck off out the way you weapons, go to a cafe or something to have a catch up, not the middle of the fecking veg aisle.

MrsSkylerWhite · 05/12/2025 12:17

Topping up tyres in howling wind.

coronafiona · 05/12/2025 12:18

Emptying the dishwasher. Cleaning the pets out. Food shopping. Having to be in charge of dinner every day. Washing my hair.
apart from that life is great! Grin

coronafiona · 05/12/2025 12:18

Hoovering the stairs too

HalfWayAroundTheLoop · 05/12/2025 12:21

Fucking everyone 😃

Titasaducksarse · 05/12/2025 12:24

Putting the food shopping away. I HATE it.
Deciding what to eat for dinner every night. The ballache. I need someone just to feed me!

Ugh this, they need to invent a stair-capable Roomba already!

People who faff about at the supermarket kiosk or the post office counter while a queue builds up.

people who walk 3 abreast on a narrow pavement.

people who have a go at a bus driver for being late.

hurry up, move up SIT DOWN

YorkshireGoldDrinker · 05/12/2025 12:30

I think that's probably a case of waking up on the wrong side of the bed, honestly.

I get it, though. Christmas is commercialised to the point of being performative cringe.

Birthday celebrations can also be a bit full-on, and you're labelled anti-social for not wanting to join in:

"Yes, yes, well done for making it another revolution around the sun." or "One year older and another year closer to kacking it." Been there. I'm the resident office grump. "Don't mind her, she's been here too long."

Motherfucking crumbs in the motherfucking Lurpak.

Sometimes when I open that tub it contains more bread than butter Envy

Lottapianos · 05/12/2025 12:31

I'm with you about singing Happy Birthday. Lovely for children, absolute cringe for adults

I hate most Christmas stuff as well. It's the most over hyped thing ever and it's the same old bollocks every year. A meeting at work yesterday (4 December) started with the chair excitedly asking everyone if they were 'ready for Christmas' 🙄🙄🙄 even my Christmas loving colleague thought it was way too much

There's about a million other things on my list and at least half of them refer to people and their mobile phones, but I'll stop there 😁

x2boys · 05/12/2025 12:34

People who unload a massive trolley full of stuff and only then realise they have to pay for it and start looking in bags and pockets for their purse

Oneearringlost · 05/12/2025 12:34

Brushing my teeth.

Ah, one of those billionaires I’ve heard about 😁

ResusciAnnie · 05/12/2025 12:37

Hate having to get in and out of the shower. Getting cold and naked and taking everything off and getting dry and dressed Ugh. I do it every day obviously but it’s the worst part of my day. (I do appreciate it when I’m in it, but getting in an out isn’t good).

Zempy · 05/12/2025 12:38

Definitely brushing my teeth. Again and again and again…

Nigel Farage and Reform

Other racists

Cyclists (irrational)

Stompythedinosaur · 05/12/2025 12:39

Going to the supermarket.
Work nights out.
Matching socks.

I think I'm becoming more intolerant as I get older!

Ketzele · 05/12/2025 12:39

New Years Eve. Spiders and slugs. Dogs without snouts. Bar stools. Smear tests. Populism. Standing in pubs. Illogical thinkers. Mobs. Shellfish. Terracotta paint. Putin-Trump-Farage. Left wing antisemites. Right wing Islamophobes. Bifold doors. The smell of bacon. Small print books. Primary colours. The lack of vocational career paths. Perfumed pantyliner. Posters who say Eww that's grim on MN threads about personal hygiene or housework. Framed prints of Kate Moss/Marilyn Monroe/Audrey Hepburn. Air freshener.

I could go on forever. I have so much hate it's exhausting.

Happyhousehappyheart · 05/12/2025 12:40

White Teslas and Range Rovers
Chav central

ImWearingPantaloons · 05/12/2025 12:40

Talky bits in songs.

People who can’t read / follow simple instructions.

People who don’t squish up when in a queue of traffic.

Reform.

People who defend Reform / Trump / JD Vance

Im sure I’ll think of more given time.

FishPie2 · 05/12/2025 12:43

People who get on the bus then fiddle about for what seems 5 minutes looking for pass or money then want to chat to driver about why they can't find it. How long have you been stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus. 😒
4 people walking abreast on the pavement then give me such a look when I ask to get past them. Shift.

thetallfairy · 05/12/2025 12:43

Idiots who have loud conversations on trains and buses

Idiots with their phone volume up high and no headphones

Passive aggressive assholes

I used to have to visit a clinic once a week and the lady in charge treated me like a piece of shit ( I was usually there 9 to 3pm as part of my job description)

She came running after me if I tried to get a cup of tea
She marched me out of the kitchen once Into a meeting she had set up and not told me about

She started to demand I go in at 7am rather than 9am

People like that are utter shits

So in short I hate rodents who walk over people who are trying their best
