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. Apart from a few chosen friends and my family (and even then, they need to be in small doses) I could do very well without other people. I'm autistic and despise the fact that people will not say what they actually mean. They skirt around issues, make subtle hints about things instead of just asking outright and rarely mean what they actually say. And don't get me started on "small talk"! So yeah....people.

Oh, and large forks and spoons, thick mugs and artificial scents....to name just a few 😁

I was at a holiday camp in Italy few months ago

All the restaurants and outdoor eating areas oh my gosh the smokers

I used to be a smoker and it drove me mad

It was so bad

Even on the fringe of the outdoor area close to the j side the smokers were all gathered there

Couldn't beliveve it

I thought of another one: when you're sitting having lunch, clearly exuding 'I'm on my own and that's deliberate' vibes and someone comes and sits next to you and jabbers all the way through your nice quiet break.

Fucking everyone 😃

Menopause.
( I hate everyone at the moment too.!)
Enforced fun
Family calendars from adults. ( I don't want serious pictures of family posing with fecking pumpkins or doing 'thumbs up" from various parties. Why would I want you dominating my calendar with your forced smiles and posing. Jeez!!

Being talked to in the super market.
Sanitary towels that unstick and weld to my leg.
Itchy labels.
All people at most times of the day.
And Broad Beans.

Having to shower and wash my hair,hate being wet. Carrying heavy bags of shopping from where I park to my house, getting out of bed in the morning esp winter.Having to make small talk, online work meetings, Anything but lying in bed ,eating biscuits and reading really!

Carrying heavy bags of shopping from where I park to my house,

I hear you. My friend has to park a good bit away from the entrance to her flat. She gets a lot delivered, but when she doesn't she uses one of these. I think they look great and would be useful for lots of things around the house/garden. So no more backache! Although you do have to lift the bags from the boot to the cart I suppose!

Hoovering the stairs too

I always used a hand brush do clean my stairs. I would start at the top & work down including woodwork then sweep/hoover the pile at the bottom.

When your bra hooks dig in, because the piece to go under isn't long enough.

Ah yes, because we have to pretend this category of humans doesn’t exist and everyone is the same, and those judging others is a thing that only arseholes do and nothing to do with human nature. You can try to convince people not to use the word but they will just use another meaning the same so what are you achieving?

A tangle of coat hangers ...I end up shouting fuck off...but they take no notice..
Sitting on the lav and realising that I need more paper and the cupboard is across the bathroom
Bastards who ring me or knock on the door while I'm in the bath...I don't get out of the bath for anyone.
Cold wet weather...and the sun shines.
Having my hair coloured .it's like having a bath wearing socks...

Oh god yes coat hangers , how is it you can put them down and in the time it takes you to pick up a t-shirt they are so tangled you'd think they were having a orge.
Put a socktpuss any where near them and you may as well chuck the lot in the bin !

the80sweregreat · 10/12/2025 13:53

Coat hangers are the devils work! They do have a mind of their own.

DancingInTheMoonlights · 10/12/2025 14:55

Dishing up dinner and buttering bread.

HelloDandy · 10/12/2025 15:33

My fucking Manager lately. Needs to fuck off to the far side of fuck and take her assistant with her.

Hicupping · 10/12/2025 17:17

The new Witchfinder generals puritanism. Teenage girl been through a lot and of course in a long frustrated post makes a reference which is unimportant but of course they all jumped on it on Reddit going 'that's got nothing to do it it', age 15 needs support but nope she failed their purity test and gave them a reason to put themselves on a pedestal and pat themselves on the back for putting her in her place.

FB photos of a carefully curated Christmas tree and mounds of artfully arranged presents, captioned "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

Fuck.
Off.

Absolutely 💯 this. It's the pits. When I think that i was so healthy aged 30 and now nearly 15 years later, I feel like an old woman!

Socktpuss. Eight socked sea creature?

DeanStockwell · 11/12/2025 15:41

@ArabellaSaurus one of them .
While I admit they are good for hanging socks , underwear, pot towels and other small items , put them near a coat hangers and they will grab and hold on as though it's life depended on it.

People who take their tops off in summer.

People who drive up your arse.

Ed Sheeran songs (not him - he seems like a nice bloke. Just his songs).

Tommy Robinson/Farage/Reform/Trump/Musk/Tait lovers.

People who eat with their mouths open.

Gail Platt.

Totally with you on Gail Platt!🙃

I almost can't wait to be dead so that I don't have to recycle or shower,/ wash my hair.
