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?

Starmer and Reeves. They can both fuck off.

The current trend to call everything 'iconic'. I'm going to start counting up the amount of times it's used in tv shows, ads, the radio. Stop saying everything is iconic!!!

Is the fucking a verb or adjective?

People
the short, dark days of winter
housework of any type.

People who are unkind. To others, to animals. Cruelty. I hate it.

When a radio show phones someone live on air and you her the ring tone and then inevitably the person doesn't answer. Then they try two or three times with the same result. Makes me unreasonably rageful. Im thinking the Sara Cox Totally Teavoted shtick. To be fair, I hate it when they do answer and say some inane phrase too haha

What is it with young kids standing in the exit door off the bus, not attempting to move out of the way, and also not hearing your request of 'Excuse me' because they've got their buds in. Everyone has to squeeze between them as they block the exit.

Surely, it is just common sense not to block a doorway?

Managers who take any suggestions as a personal insult.
Colleagues who barely do any work over the summer then make snide remarks when you’re tired.
CEO’s who barely show their face then wander in expecting massive changes.
Being on the minimum wage and having to tolerate being everyone’s verbal punchbag because you can’t find another job, not even cleaning, despite having a masters degree.
Thanks, that was quite cathartic.

Public transport is a challenge isn’t it..
My dh who was told that his g/ child aged 1 and a half probably wouldn’t like the ( annoying ) singing Christmas tree much and was disappointed when I was right ( she shrugged it off as a bad Christmas tat purchase I think , wise one)

People who can’t or won’t use headphones

People who stand still on the moving walkways at the airport. It's there to speed everyone up ffs, not so you can stand there like a plum looking at your phone.

Any request shows on the radio. They waffle on about nothing much and get asked inane questions which nobody can hear that well and have to be asked again.
Then the kids come on and they have to be cut off to play the old 80s hit for their parents!

Babies - or more specifically, being expected to be interested in them because I'm a woman (eg people passing babies around the office - I tend to go for a long toilet break) 🤮

Shit hand wash facilities - cold water, no soap, shit hand dryer which is completely ineffectual and you end up with freezing water running down your sleeves 🤮

Slow drivers

The whole of Christmas 🤮🤮🤮 from start to finish. Commercialised claptrap. Give me a holiday any day

The thought of my daughter leaving home for university next September 😢😢

The summer holidays. They are long, tedious and expensive
People sticking out their tongues in photos
People sharing photos of me on social media
Barbecues

I agree that toilets in public places are a disgrace anywhere.
I hate the all in one affairs for the soap : water , dryer that doesn’t work. Or the lack of loo paper in a big supermarket that has an aisle dedicated to it. That’s if the loo is working that is.

Customer services numbers that appear to be unmanned. AAGHHHH. I'd rather an automated message taunting me stating "we're never going to answer this you loser" than being left on hold, on my lunch break, listening to sad music that makes me want to stick my head down a toilet.
And then... you find the chat bot option. Promising start, it's eager and engaged. Then advises they've passed it on to someone. And then silence..... You have £100s of my money!!! How DARE YOU!!!!"
This is cathartic.

Cleaning the bathroom

I hate seeing people doing weird things with their tongues in photos or the tongue in the cheek thing.
It’s just not funny or cool.

Customer service is a thing of the past , sadly.
Hived off to bots and ‘ chat’ lines where it’ll take you in a big old circle.

People who can't use motorways - MOVE THE FUCK OVER!! if you're not overtaking, STAY IN THE LEFT LANE! 😤😤

I worked with teens for a while and the 'I have ADHD' seemed to be the go to line for
(a) excusing bad behaviour.
(b) not wanting to do mundane tasks like completing application forms.
(c) brazenly asking for free stuff.
(d) lack of punctuality
(e) can't be arsed attitude.

Interesting how selective ADHD is, as some of these kids had no problem filming, editing and posting tik tok videos, playing complex games on their phones, writing and posting on FB, explaining how the algorithm worked on Instagram, one ADHD girl sitting quietly for half an hour and photo editing a selfie she'd taken...

As one of my cynical colleagues used to say; 'these mental health alphabet diseases are the new 'bad back'.

Im going to go with petty hates rather than the serious/political ones.

The word "soup"
Having to get up for a wee in the night - particularly in winter
Drippy slow "warm" unsatisfying showers - hot and powerful jets pls.
Being touched by a shower curtain when in the shower - cold kiss of death on the bum/back.
Aniseed, licquorice, lemonade
Anybody who pulls out in front of me in a big rush and then drives like a snail
Caravanners
Bunched up clumps of cyclists riding in a way that nobody can pass the annoying fuckers
cous-cous - devlis grout
People trying to strike up inane conversation while im eating, particularly shit like "ooh what you having" "smells nice, is it nice?" "cant beat a bit of xxx can you?"
tea or coffee when it passes optimum temperature
grey marl joggers - dont want to see your cock in Aldi, Dave
Nail trimming - i put it off for ages because its a boring task, but then realise EVERY TIME that its a quick under a minute job and i couldve saved myself a week of being annoyed by my nails.
Meghan Markle

That will do for now.

The words Hubs, hubby, hubster, holibobs, and fucking FUR BABIES 🤬🤬

Signing into ANYTHING online.... Password not recognised... Forgot password... Reset password... That email address is already in use... Ad infinitum... Argh!!

Loving this thread... I'll stop now 🤣

People who stand right on top of the luggage carousel so NOBODY ELSE can see it or get to it 🤬. Step back and let everyone get to their bags FFS

Those people who bring on stinking takeaway McDonalds, greasy smelly KFC, rancid Kebabs, etc, onto trains and buses (or any enclosed space).

People who eat in the theatre.
People who eat in the cinema.
People who make a noise in the Quiet Coach.
Fuss over adult birthdays (& especially mine).
Reality TV.
Christmas starting in October (obviously).
Housework, because it's so pointless.
Sentimentality.
Women who won't go out (theatre, cinema, restaurant etc) on their own - you're making men think we're all weak and useless!
People who make a big deal about their minor ailments.
(And of course, big things like anti-Semitism and racism).
