Being called love by a shop assistant who is 30 years younger than me !!
IN THE BIN

I would bin unkind, nasty or unnecessary responses that sometimes appear on here. Love the wit, helpfulness and practicality that mostly occur.

Ramoneh Thu 28-Feb-19 10:12:34

That bugs me too..especially mothers with buggies..

People who staple flyers to trees and don’t take them down when the cat is found or the carnival is over or whatever.

Drivers who cut the corner at speed turning into any road at all, oh and drivers who overtake coming up to blind corners. Add to that the cyclists who ride at speed down the walking lane that I walk my little grandson up after school. He is really frightened by them. Also cyclists who cross on a red light. I had better stop and have a coffee.

Channel 4 news readers and their endless interruptions when they don’t get the answer they want.
Dog owners who don’t pick up poo
People who park right outside the cashpoints, probably because they haven’t got legs!
People who park in disabled or parent and child bays when they are or have neither.
I could go on and on smile

Tailgaters - who seem to object to people not going over the speed limit.

Posting answers/comments on GN/FB etc, when haven’t read or understand the post properly then give wrong information or completely go off on a tangent. In the bin.

Being asked to adopt a snow leopard or a dolphin or whatever. People don’t adopt it, at best they sponsor it but probably they are just contributing to the society. My precious little adopted daughter asked me often, quoting the ads, how much I had to pay for her. Still annoys me.

Being called 'shug' by shop assistants who look about 12. !!!!!

Sarahmob Thu 28-Feb-19 09:55:48

The long ribbon loops they put in tops that then dangle outside your clothes!

weenanni59 Thu 28-Feb-19 09:54:46

I hate drivers who drive too close to me , bumper to bumper and try and make me go faster ?
I also hate people saying .. perfect ! after everything!
2lbs of mince please ... perfect!?

Dog owners who don't pick up their dogs poo..or pick it up and hang it on a treeangry
People who are quick to judge others!!!!

1inamillion Thu 28-Feb-19 06:44:52

People who let their dogs off the lead, then stand around chatting while the dogs foul the pavement.
Poor spelling especially on a menu, I have a rule now - if they can't spell it, I don't order it.
Add apostrophes to that eg ' avocado's' 'petunia's' ?
I knew I'd be back.

Doodle I put an old or foreign coin across the end of my sellotape, or any tape. You can always see it and there's no waste like there is when you fold the end over.

Grandma2213 Thu 28-Feb-19 02:25:47

The pointless and distracting one note drone or two/three note plinky plonk background (I hesitate to call it) music on otherwise excellent radio and TV programmes. It is so irritating I sometimes have to turn the sound off and put sub titles on and they don't always keep up. Grrr!

Grammaretto Thu 28-Feb-19 00:30:26

Full dog poo bags in trees and on paths. Whats that about?
Litter louts.
Nose and lip rings and ear lobe tunnels.

Littleannie Wed 27-Feb-19 23:03:46

People who say 'you guys' when you are with a group of men and women. I have started answering back 'do I look like a man? Why are you insulting me by calling me one? Do you need to go to Specsavers?' I get some very funny looks!

Mumble2 Wed 27-Feb-19 22:19:22

Coat hangers
New wrappers on Cadbury’s chocolate.
Labels inside clothes
People with very load voices

callgirl1 Wed 27-Feb-19 21:33:42

I need to add, all the people, patients and visitors, who smoke right outside the hospital entrance instead of going to the designated area. And officialdom that lets them get away with it.

calamitycarrie Wed 27-Feb-19 19:58:11

Scribbles I was just about to say that about flippin' smokers and vapers in doorways. Also the fact that since the indoor smoking ban, we non-smokers can no longer enjoy sitting outside in the sunshine with our coffee and cake, because the outside areas have been completely taken over by smokers angry.

Scribbles Wed 27-Feb-19 18:20:13

Smokers and vapers who occupy the space outside bar or restaurant doorways so you have to make your way through a smelly fug to enter or leave.

Come to think of it - just smokers and vapers!

Grandma70s Wed 27-Feb-19 16:42:39

Dog owners who assume I love their dog as much as they do, and therefore am happy to be slobbered over.

Kupari45 Wed 27-Feb-19 16:27:21

People who plaster our town with notices advertising an event or auction etc. then they never take them down, and we end up with tatty bits of cardboard telling us about events that were over months ago.
By the way I'm enjoying this thread, had a good laugh at some of them!

rascal Wed 27-Feb-19 16:15:23

Oh this is good, I've had a laugh, oh so true. Drivers who have to be first! They race round a blind bend and overtake approaching a blind summit. They have to rely on other drivers slowing down to let them on their merry way! Complete madness! angry
