alcohol
Christmas starting in August (even though I love Christmas)
People who make a lot of noise in the middle of the night.
People who play loud music with their windows open on warm days. We don't all like the same music.
People who let their dogs mess in the street or bag it up then hang the bags on nearby bushes and trees.
People who throw rubbish on the ground rather than putting it in a bin or taking it home.
People who use their mobiles when driving.
People who always look perfectly turned out (maybe that's jealousy hmm) but I can walk out of the hairdressers and within 30 seconds look like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards.
Chocolate liqueurs
Alcohol
Drunk people

vampirequeen Wed 28-Feb-18 14:58:38

Yummy mummies who let their children loose in IKEA as if it's some enormous free playground.

merlotgran Wed 28-Feb-18 15:00:00

People who say, 'Tell me about it' when you're having a moan.

'Are you deaf? I just have!' angry grin

MissAdventure Wed 28-Feb-18 15:00:36

Alcohol and drunk people for me too. Drama queens. Show offs. People who own dogs and don't look after them properly, including picking up after them. Big mouths. People with no manners.

Smithy Wed 28-Feb-18 15:03:39

Merlot gran they are just sympathising with you!

Nonnie Wed 28-Feb-18 15:09:28

tanith I'm with you on Richmond sausages, no wonder they are on offer so often.

There are things I don't eat for various reasons, like calamari as it seems to taste of nothing but as far as 'can't stand' goes there is not much in food.

Dates - because I am allergic to them.
Lemon flavouring - give me real lemons every time.

Maybe I'll think of more later.

hildajenniJ Wed 28-Feb-18 15:10:15

Fennel. Although I like the seeds in a curry. confused
I agree about people who don't clean up after their dog.
Cigarette smoke (even in the street).
Beer

Sauerkraut
really spicy hot food - I do use lots of herbs and spices when cooking, just can't eat very spicy
Dark chocolate - the kind that's supposed to be healthy
Feta cheese
Everything being 'brilliant' - loads of other wonderfully marvelous fantastic adjectives can be used grin
Loud, obnoxious, bullying type people

An assumption & attitude of superiority,especially when displayed by a knownort!
‘ knownort’ for the uninitiated = a person who doesn’t have any understanding or knowledge of the topic they may be pontificating on.

Muzak of any sort -in lifts, shops, blasting out of cars in a traffic jam, on phones and worst of all played at the same time as speech on tv or radio.

I like proper music - of all sorts, but not ghastly muzac where it shouldn't be.

grannyactivist Wed 28-Feb-18 16:17:01

Butter beans!!

MissAdventure Wed 28-Feb-18 16:18:05

Ooh yes! Horrible things!

jusnoneed Wed 28-Feb-18 16:41:16

Marzipan although I love almonds.
Tripe, especially the smell when it's cooking.

Music playing too loud anywhere. It really annoys me to see people with youngsters in the car and music booming away, it must damage their hearing.
TVs in pubs.
Two faced people.

Washerwoman Wed 28-Feb-18 17:27:01

Kidneys.The only food I can think of that I can't eat.
Party animals who drink too much and make you feel a party pooper because you only want one or two .
Ditto loud music blaring out on a lovely summers day.
The ridiculously long build up to Xmas and the pressure on families to spend too much
Litter,fly tipping and throwaway culture.Makes me SO angry.
People checking mobiles continually in restaurants.
Rude drivers who don't say thank you,or speed past a row of parked cars on their side of the road even though it's your right of way.
Inverted snobbery, and hypocrisy Thinking about someone specific there!
Cruelty to animals.I understand why some people don't like or want animals in their lives, but don't get a dog/cat/horse etc then condemn it to a life of misery.
