Things you hate.

[divorcinganabsolutewanker]

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?

Also…
-Red velvet cake
-pork scratchings
-recipes that sneak in something that takes overnight prep… when I haven’t fully read it and get caught out!
-DD annoying cough that driving her (and us) pretty crazy
-when the plane tilts to change direction and my brain tells me it’s going to roll over

Rain (see also wind, snow, ice, fog)
The fact that local roads don’t seem to be able to cope with the above, plus potholes, poor street lighting, poor road markings.
Roadworks especially when they don’t fix the above issues.
Drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, horses.
People changing or cancelling plans at last minute.
Having to choose what to make for dinner, happy to cook if someone tells me what they want to eat.
Food shopping, especially when I have to choose what to cook.

My dreams because even those don’t go well :(

Head tilters
People say things like ‘bless, you are having a tough time’. Usually also head tilters
Fake sympathy
Grief/misery junkies (no, MIL, I don’t want to hear all the details about the terminal illness and slow decline of someone I don’t know.)
Gossips

I really don’t like people who are fake about stuff

Artificial grass
Rapid flashing fairy lights
twee car stickers
Most lifestyle columns (surely they must be satire?)
people who don’t use box junctions properly
people who can’t park
people who don’t let other people out/change lanes because they are self important and drive too close to other cars

I would pay very good money for a slinky robot vac !

'that Starbucks have lots of decaf coffee options but don’t have any decaf tea (wth!)
-baristas who add milk to tea as they make it. so it’s awful pale undrinkable and tepid'

YES to all of this! Tea drinkers get treated like absolute shit in cafes. Three pound fifty for some hot water on a minging tea bag. No tea menu anywhere to be seen. Far too much milk being put in your tea instead of being served on the side. Really awful. Going out for barista coffee is a genuinely nice thing for coffee drinkers, but its total crap if you want tea instead

Tea drinkers are treated like second class citizens.
We demand better.
My brain when I remember the times I messed up. Which is a lot!

Work Secret Chuffing Santa!

Boycott the secret Santa nonsense.
Shouldn’t have been invented. Adds to the stress.

Winter
Bananas
Sourdough bread
Showering
The word 'chav'

In no particular order:

trying to lose weight
winter
cheap wine
dawdling shoppers
motorways
ketchup
cold callers

used to hate Christmas so cancelled it! Would recommend

Yep, I hear you !

Washing my hair is a pita. Drying it is even worse

Every morning I get on tbe bus with the same woman EVERY DAY she faff arses around looking for her pass.
Even in the dark mornings we can see the bus from about 5 mins away because it has to go around a round about and then back on it's self ( really annoying junction ! ) and yet she always gets infront of everyone then buggers about for what feels like ages .
I always want to say look the bus is coming find you pass NOW

.GRRRR .

Slow walkers.
Slow Drivers.
The plastic seal on bottles of milk.
Putting the Christmas tree up.
Putting the Christmas tree down.
I could go on!

Websites that crash after spending half a day inputting an order. You can see what I’ve been doing today!

Hair washing/drying/going to hairdresser (either expensive or shit).

Being cold

People who faff w their wallets/phones when getting in a bus/at the til. Unless you’ve run for the bus there’s no excuse.

CBA w Xmas this year. I’m Jewish but I do the turkey etc for the fam - we have crackers and a jolly afternoon but it’s been a shit couple of weeks and my spirit has nosedived. Also need to get Chanukah presents - which is in just over a week.

Peoole who say ‘hollibobs’ and ‘fur babies’ - just no.

Obviously Trump & Farage, but also any populist leader left or right.

Antisemitism from both sides, but particularly the left. Know better, do better.

Housework. All of it. Used to flatshare with someone who loved ironing and offered to do mine, in good conscience couldn't let her.
Slate roofs - need repairs, no roofer is interested in small jobs. Honestly will look rubbish but just put big sheets of something up there. I've never once had an issue with extension roof and it's been on there since late 60s it's got wavy asbestos sheets. :-)
Microsoft - monetising everything and making your life hell with it. Today has been hell with Power bi licensing.
Shrinkflation - new lipstick is so short! Got an old box for 12 Asda OB wipes, it's huge, 80 wipes per pack.
En$hitification - see huggies babywipes - avoid new 48 size packs they've just changed.
Don't have one but cars with subscriptions to use them. Stop with the subscriptions.
Corporate greed. Offshore our jobs who is going to have money to buy your products.

Edit - popups - websites, microsoft, yes I've got it, and the insanely needy Cult beauty, don't leave me popup because you moved cursor towards edge of browser and 'we saw you looking' follow up emails.

I have been known to attack the plastic cap on milk bottles. The bottle came off worse.
Also those caps you get on skin cream and some on toothpaste and condiment bottles.

Ohhh God yes ! Wtf do they need to be so complicated.
If I choose to use 12345 or PASSWORD and someone hacks my account it's my fault and I am happy to take that chance

So true. I only drink herbal atm as can’t drink coffee due to gastric issues (don’t really like regular tea) and over £3 for a herbal teabag and water.
V different having a coffee out as I can’t make barista coffee at home. I have an old Nespresso but even when I drank coffee it wasn’t the same as a good coffee shop offering.
I bloody miss coffee!!

How everything is ‘ subscription’ or put up with the rubbish adverts. At least I can go to the loo during the break, but the money these people make is shameful.

Clothing. Getting dressed and undressed every day. So boring! Put them all on then endure all day and then just bloody take them all off again.

Did you know that people who wear PJs out have special 'going out' PJs? What is even the point?

Edit: sorry I was intending to violently agree about voice notes but got distracted.

Clothes are a faff. You wash them , wear them , back in the wash and drying process , round it round it goes.
Trying your find any to wear isn’t easy now either , the fashions are just awful for older women unless you want to pay a fortune

Slow shoppers or almost in a sort of trance like state.
Why everything you buy just before xmas has a use by of 24 or 26 December.

Narcissistic Influencers - I was recently on a weekend away at a place of interest and we were stuck outside in a queue in the freezing cold because... wait for it... some has been, ex-realty TV Z lister and her boyfriend were taking pictures for her Instagram.

If I'd have been closer I would have thrown rocks at them!
