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

People who spit chewing gum onto pavements where it creates unsightly splodges that last for ever.

Smokers.
Drunks.
Coat hangers.
Drivers who don't indicate.
Nuisance phone calls (I have a blocker but they still keep coming).
TV adverts.

Mothers who talk EVER SO LOUDLY in ultra posh voices to their children in supermarkets, repeatedly using the child's name. You know the sort of thing: "Rupert, come here Rupert, there's a sweetie. Rupert can you pick that up for Mummy please Rupert? There's a good boy! No Rupert, NOT that one Rupert! Rupert! You're not listening Rupert!" And so on and so on until everyone in the shop just wants to throttle dear little Rupert

People who sneeze into the air

Men who wear socks and sandals.
The dragons at the door of the health centre who think they're doctors.

Coat hangers in shop displays where the one I want to lift out inevitably gets stuck to the one next to it.

the continuous footballs that come over and hit my conservatory roof and make me Jump!

Bellanonna Wed 27-Feb-19 08:55:38

Plastic milk bottles where I can unscrew the outer lid ok but have a real battle with lifting the seal bit inside

sodapop Wed 27-Feb-19 08:55:00

British people speaking in English very loudly thinking the French shop assistant will understand.
Non disabled people who use parking spaces reserved for people with a disability.
TV programmes who refer to birth parents as 'real parents'

People who stand in the doorwell of the bus and refuse to move when I need to get off. Inside the bin, I will put a large notice which says,

‘IF SOMEONE RINGS THE BELL AND STANDS BY THE EXIT IT MEANS THEY WISH TO LEAVE THE BUS’

gillybob Wed 27-Feb-19 07:48:31

Roadworks where no one is doing anything .
“That place”
Know it all’s
I’m alright Jacks’s
Plenty more ......

Re; the bleach . I jam the bottle tightly in the door and turn and it comes off no bother .

1inamillion Wed 27-Feb-19 07:26:14

Litterbugs.
Rude people.
Arrogant young doctors, had enough of those lately.

As Nina say, I may be back.

kittylester Wed 27-Feb-19 07:14:34

Lots of things!

The op rang a bell. I had lunch out with DH and two DDs last week but the only person to be called 'my love' was me. Cheek.

Oldwoman70 Wed 27-Feb-19 07:01:22

Can I add those drivers who don't recognise the flashy thing on my car means I want to turn right and stop across the entrance to the road I want to turn into!

I'm sure I have many other things to go into the bin - I'll go away and have a think

ninathenana Wed 27-Feb-19 06:46:44

Drivers of cars that were apparently built without indicators.

Fly tippers and litterbugs

I may be back.....

Rufus2 Wed 27-Feb-19 04:48:24

The bottle of bleach that I cannot open
Rather ironic isn't it.! "Push down and twist" is supposed to provide "child-proof safety", but all it seems to do is make life difficult for ancient arthritic wrists trying to open a bottle of arthritis pain killers. shock
One solution, short of taking a hammer to the bottle, is to have a child around. They can do it in a flash; no worries! grin

PageTurner Wed 27-Feb-19 03:40:50

People who borrow things and don't return them in a timely manner.

GrandmainOz Wed 27-Feb-19 01:06:58

Stupid new fridge: just discovered it takes an all-in wrestling match to remove lowest shelf and crisper drawer for cleaning! Nearly broke the d@#$ thing. Cost a fortune, tooangry

callgirl1 Wed 27-Feb-19 00:27:47

All the flipping nuisance callers!

Granny23 Tue 26-Feb-19 23:17:01

Coat Hangers

merlotgran Tue 26-Feb-19 23:15:00

All unnecessary packing on deliveries from Amazon.

Assuming it's a recycling bin of course!

Jalima1108 Tue 26-Feb-19 22:58:46

Yes, litter bugs and perhaps they should go in the recycling bin and come out with a social conscience, eager to save the planet!

Washerwoman Tue 26-Feb-19 22:47:49

Anyone who drops litter,throws it out if the car window or fly tips goes in my bin.

MissAdventure Tue 26-Feb-19 22:42:14

Music videos featuring simulated sex in place of dancing.
