Second lot.

Drivers who go round bends in the middle of the road as though they own it! Dangerous!
Gardeners who blow all the leaves into the road! Dangerous!
Drivers who park on the pavement so that I have to walk in the road. Dangerous!

I agree with Marmark1's extra hates - all of them, especially pseudo celebrities. smile

RosElghaly55 Fri 16-Oct-15 09:13:26

1.Noisy neighbours
2.Litter bugs
3. When you hold a door open & the person behind saunters through without even acknowledging you !!

I agree about not 'hating' things (or people)

With things it is a matter of extreme irritation, with people annoyance and, very rarely, dislike.

Dog poo on the DGC's play park
The people who allow their dogs to go on the children's play park
Cleaning dog poo off shoes

Insincerity ,far too much of it now.
People pretending to be what their not.
Arrogance .
Bad manners.
Nastiness
So called Celebrities ,Who the bleddy hell are they?
Any program with shouting and screaming.Donk,off it goes.

3 things which annoy me most (hate is a bit strong") are :

Drivers who lane-wander, particularly at roundabouts
Phoning a company & having 6 options, followed by 6 more and then another 6...........
Noise, specifically music blaring from next door's builders. I want to be in my garden and hear the birds not effing and blinding to the background of rock music angry

.......can we have another 3?

1) ... Cold call phone calls such as the PPI, house insulation, please do a survey and your computer has got a virus type calls as well as those asking for charitable contributions and initially take no for an answer by trying to make you feel guilty. AND, what's really infuriates me are those that don't introduce themselves and those that slam the phone down as soon asthey realise i'm not interester without any sort of apology for disturbing my peace. Grrrrrrrrr.

2) ... Being ripped off by the building trade (was ripped off by over £45 000 + nearly £20 000 so far to put things right with a lot still to do - legal battle ensuing, but the builder is crafty so doubt will get return despite contracts and loads of evidence. Solicitor has said, even if we win, we'd only recover 70% of the loss, assuming the builder has the ability to pay - Sheriffs here we come)

3) ... Reality and cooking programs on TV as well as sex on demand channels in my TV package - we have young teenagers in the house.

Noisy neighbours.
I dont actually have noisy neighbours, but I always imagine that I would struggle to cope with that.

I don't hate anything or anyone. It's a waste of energy and time, and it doesn't solve anything. I'd be happier on a personal level if;
1) People were kinder and more considerate in all things
2) Cold calling, either in person at the door or from call centres, wherever they are located, was banned
3) If everyone reading this post had a really good day!

shysal Fri 16-Oct-15 08:48:56

The idiot in my family.

Racism.

War.

(Not exactly light-hearted!)
Plus most of the above, mentioned by others.

annodomini Fri 16-Oct-15 08:46:04

1. Cold, damp weather that gets into my bones
2. People who speak loudly on their phones in the confines of a train carriage.
3. Emptying the dishwasher!

inishowen Fri 16-Oct-15 08:38:09

1. Housework, it's such a bore
2. Religious people ringing my doorbell and assuming I want to speak to them.
3. Cars parked across two spaces. Apparently the drivers do it because they have a fancy car and don't want anyone too close to it.

Spidergran Fri 16-Oct-15 08:31:12

1. Dog dirt that people do not clean up. My town has pavements littered with it. The same for Scottish beaches and woods we visited in summer.
2. People parking cars half on the pavement so grandchild's buggy cannot pass and I have to walk in the road
3. Litter everywhere and nobody will pick any up that doesn't belong to them!

rosesarered Fri 16-Oct-15 08:25:31

Elegrangrin
Hmmmn, just three?
Litter in my area( obviously if it's in Sheffield say, or Plymouth, then I can't see it)
Any cold calls, or at the door.
Sales assistants who believe they are too good for the job they are doing.

Getting the Daily Mail delivered insteAd of the Guardian

Getting the Sun delivered instead of the Guardian

Reading them

soontobe Fri 16-Oct-15 07:05:29

I assume we are keeping this lighthearted

Call centres that are abroad

Cold calls

I'll come back with a 3rd

kittylester Fri 16-Oct-15 06:46:57

The Idiot

Drivers speeding through our village or anywhere really.

And, like others, people who park without any consideration eg, on the zigzags by the pedestrian crossing, on the pavement or double parking outside the school!

ninathenana Fri 16-Oct-15 00:02:35

Bad, inconsiderate drivers

People who don't control their children in restaurants

The low lifes who mock those disabled in any way.

gillybob Thu 15-Oct-15 23:59:33

Know it all's.

Russell Brand (again)

Don't do as I do, do as I say.

TwiceAsNice Thu 15-Oct-15 23:56:27

Drivers who pull out in front of you at the last minute and then you realise there's no- one behind you for ages and they only had to wait another minute to pull out safely!

Parents who swear at their children or scream at them in public. If they do this in public what do they do to the poor kids in private!

Waiting on hold to inane music every time you have to make a public service enquiry phone call!

I could go on.......

Indinana Thu 15-Oct-15 23:27:19

Drivers who don't indicate at junctions and roundabouts.

People announcing on Facebook that they've done all the hoovering and washing up and have got the roast in the oven hmm

Insincerity

rosequartz Thu 15-Oct-15 23:17:51

Litter including polythene bags along the verges of roads

Loud applause and screaming on the tv when someone does something well (can't watch Strictly any more for the inane noise)

School run mums who block the way and are then arrogant and rude

Leticia Thu 15-Oct-15 22:05:41

I agree with Russell Brand- I can't stand him.
