What 3 things do you hate most?

1. Bad managers who are paid more than me.
2. People who park their cars in Disabled spaces without being disabled themselves. How would they like a disability?
3. Noise and diesel smells from building work.

Ex pats that treat the friendly local like a stupid pet dog.

Ex pats that turn their noses up at the customs and food of the country they live in and won't even try to speak the language.

Ex pats who behave more English than the English but have never lived in England.

Young men who put their hands down the front of their trousers and into their underwear in public

Being in an wheel electric wheelchair I hate pedestrians who think they need to overtake me . one guy ran and jumped past me ..instead of waiting 3 seconds to let me pass -- crazy

Hate Crimes of any sort and our police & crime commissioner thinks they are so unimportant that he has closed the small team who deal with these cases and left victims with no means of dedicated resolution

Forgot feminists,(the modern ones)
Smoked salmon,Yuk,
Smoked anything ,
Oreos
Any kind of abuse

Mobility scooters that go faster than walking pace

People without manners

People who put their shopping though the checkout and then start sorting out their numerous coupons

no manners, no respect and pure ignorance grrrrrrrr

The extra charge for each theatre ticket however you pay --why don't they just increase the ticket price.
Cyclists on the pavement when cycle lanes are available --particularly in Cambridge!! They never even ring a bell to warn you they are approaching from behind and almost take you with them!!
Folks who have a loud coversation on public transport and think no one can hear them.

Unknown item in the bagging area when there ISN'T!

Enormous differences in sizing labels on women's clothes. (DH can buy things without trying on and they always fit, except in France.)

Hospital parking meters that ask for e.g. £1.45 and don't give change. No other meters seem to take 5p so I seldom have one with me and lose 5p. ( I save my 5p in a charity box.)

1) Telephone calls that go to voicemail

2) Non UK call centres

3) Driving on country lanes in the dark

Brilliant results. Having read through them all, I think I agree with all of them. I didn't realise that I had so many dislikes/hates. I am pleased I started this thread it has made interesting reading.

Tripe,
tins of anything then wrapped in plastic,
people who talk to you one day, then look through you the next like they haven't seen you

People who drop litter

People who drop litter right by the litter bin

People who bag their dog poo and then festoon the trees and hedges with them for The Dog Poo Fairies to collect.

Companies that answer emails with a 'one fits all' reply, and don't answer your question.

Spam telephone calls.

Wasps.

1 dog poo in the street....., drivers who don't indicate.... cyclists who think I should get out of the way....cold callers.... the young who think the elderly have nothing interesting to say.

Opening a magazine to find dozens of leaflets I don't want falling out of it.

Continuing to get fancy brochures in the post from companies I may have bought from once but have no interest in now.(always wrapped in plastic so I have to separate before I recycle)

i couldn't just pick three things - most of the fore mentioned and some!

Absolutely love this one !! I've done it too , but I feel so unclean afterwards .

What were you actually referring to suelow?

Irritated by:
1. Smug or pretentious people

2. Celebrities[?] - actors especially who feel they have to share their ideas on news situations with us. What have they ever done to make us think that their views are worthwhile or valuable? Most actors spend their lives speaking the words of others. Why should their own thoughts be taken as meaningful unless they've actually had some experience to back them up?

3. People who always look on the down side of everything. Don't mean to sound like a Pollyanna, but some people positively relish regaling you with all the 'bad' things that happen to them. Don't they notice all the little things they could be happy about?

1. Cold, dark winter evenings (I try to escape)
2. Travelling (I do a lot of it - son in US and daughter and grandchildren in London)
3. People using mobile phones whilst talking to other people.

1. Getting out of the shower to answer the door especially if it's a parcel for next door.
2. Feeling invisible in certain places, like shops, presumably because I'm old and grey. Any mention of the grey brigade.
3. Difficulty getting over styles when on country walks, it can be a bit hilarious sometimes though.

1 Telephone calls with no-one at the other end.

2 Litter

3 Self-important Scottish Nationalists - 5 million of them, 60 million English

Dog owners who scoop up the mess but then leave the bag and contents hanging on a fence. Who do they think is going to move it?

(1) People who pick up their dog's poo in a little plastic bag, tie a knot in it and leave the bag hanging from a tree.

(2) Cruelty, to anyone or anything.

(3) Marmite

People in supermarkets who put bananas in plastic bags - why?
