IN THE BIN

Somebody mentioned chewing-gum spitters. Can we include all chewing gum, chewed or unchewed? Horrible stuff!

if somebody toots their horn at you....it’s me!
Lemongrove: I hope you're not one of those novice drivers who overtake at high speed whilst giving "The Finger" and shouting something, the beginning of which I always miss, but which could be "****hole".
Judging by the facial expression I doubt it's complimentary. Bin them all I say! grin

Whenever a thread like this comes up I feel grateful I don’t drive. It seems to cause so much irritation.

Old age can go in the bin. Yet another birthday soon.

Yes, litter should definitely go in the bin!

People who park cars or vans half on pavement.
Which then means that those pushing a pram or pushchair have go on the road to get round it.angry

Pill packs with tough backing .
Being accused of telling porkies
TV presenters talking about drawrings
Being told I'm ONLY type two, after 20 years diabetes and taking Insulin

Self checkout tills

Is there room for the plonker who pulled out from a stationary queue of traffic, onto the wrong side of the road - despite not being able to see what was causing the holdup (very bendy country road). Very large lorry appeared around the corner and plonker only avoided being pancaked by pulling into the space I had left between my car and the car in front. shock

As per usual. Where did that unnecessary 'per' come from? It needs to be ditched.

lemongrove Fri 01-Mar-19 11:33:06

kitty grin if somebody toots their horn at you....it’s me!

This thread is like the song from The Mikado ( I have a little list, and there’s none that will be missed.)?

Just thought of litter louts, and chewing gum spitters.

People who NEVER let you (me) finish a sentence and talk loudly over what you (me) are saying- my other half.

People who responded to EVERY sentence with "sorry say that again" yet refuse to accept they have a hearing problem- my other half.

You can tell I'm not having a good day....

They get tangled up in each other Lumarei, but usually only when i’m trying to remove a particular item, then that’s the one caught up in its neighbour.

What’s wrong with coat hangers? confused

Nanna58 Thu 28-Feb-19 22:23:04

Damn rude joggers who never say thanks, or, if too puffed, raise a hand, when my dogs and I move aside for them on the pavement!

sassenach512 Thu 28-Feb-19 22:03:52

shirleyhick I did the same thing on our beach when I saw a couple leave their dog's mess behind, the woman got so aggressive that I'd had the temerity to offer her a bag, it almost came to fisticuffs! People just don't like being urged to clean up after their dogs, undaunted though, I will continue to take these selfish, thoughtless owners to task when I see them do it, if I can clean up after my dog, they can ☺️

Mamma66 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:45:43

Can I also add autocorrect!!!

sassenach512 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:45:20

I've thought of some more: shop assistants who pounce on me as soon as I walk through the door asking me what I'm looking for today... leave me alone I want to browse first. Same with waitresses who want to take my order when I've barely sat down and taken my coat off. People who picnic on the beach and leave all their rubbish behind.

Mamma66 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:44:43

I would also like to add people who are unkind or impatient . I would actually live to take out Tyne legs of people who ‘tut’, role their eyes or show any other sign of impatience at supermarket checkouts. Yes they’re boring. No, I don’t want to be there either, but making sarcastic gestures or comments to an elderly person who is ‘being too slow’ in your opinion, or the Mum trying to soothe a crotchety baby; there’s no need for it. I hate it...

Nanny41 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:44:36

Too many to put in the bin I need a bigger bin!

Mamma66 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:30:07

Oh yes, I can relate to this, just about to buy my fourth Mercedes. Unbelievable how many idiots decide they will race you away from the lights in their 1.2 hot hatch when I am driving a car with 3.2 litre engine. It really isn’t a test of your manhood! Nine times out of ten I let them rip the guts of their car out whilst I gently pootle off, but every so often I let them have it by allowing them to thrash the bits off their car and then gracefully glide past (the only time I ever achieve grace these days!) ?

BradfordLass72 Thu 28-Feb-19 21:23:32

I don't really hate anything but one or two things irritate me.

Inspired by another Forum subject, I get annoyed by women's lack of knowledge about their own bodies and how many think the vagina is what we euphemistically call 'front bottom' and sometimes shave.

This is the vulva (or Mound of Venus in the quaint old-fashioned term). The vagina is internal.

One of my students recently said she was shaving her vagina so she could have a piercing ! smile
We got out an anatomy book and looked at what she really meant.

shirleyhick Thu 28-Feb-19 21:17:40

People not cleaning up after their dogs I own 2 dogs and always clean up after them it makes me so mad when people don't I have even offered them a bag but usually get a dirty look or ignored.

kittylester Thu 28-Feb-19 21:16:23

I don't have a Volvo. Mine is a Mazda but also my Honda and my Toyota had them too. They are proved to reduce pedestrian/car accidents.

farview Thu 28-Feb-19 21:02:05

...right now!!! My H!!!!.....

lemongrove Thu 28-Feb-19 19:56:29

kitty and sassenach yes, I know that Volvo cars are made that way ( presumably for dim misty Swedish weather) grin
But not every car is like that, and I have seen my own make of car with headlights on ( so some drivers must simply be in the habit of switching lights on.)

Have thought of another one, shop managers/assistants telling me ‘there is no call for it’ ( whatever item I am asking for) when I am actually calling for it!

NanKate Thu 28-Feb-19 19:49:33

The relentless feminist/LGBT topics on Woman’s Hour.

Before the brickbats are thrown at me I am all for equality, I’m not homophobic, but there are no longer any light hearted topics.
