One of mine is interviewers on tv and radio who take over the interview and constantly interrupt with their viewpoint. Very,very annoying and there seems to be a lot of them these days. We need more like the wonderful Michael Parkinson.

Team building exercises/role play during work training.

Bags of dog poo left dangling from the bushes on my favourite walks. Why do people do it?

When people say "The trouble is is that...." Why do people do it?

MissAdventure Sat 23-Jan-21 16:40:50

Oh yes, dog poo!
In bags, on paths, grass, or anywhere it shouldn't be. Ugh!!!

I'm with Lucca with the excessive lip fillers.
They all look like cod's heads grin Look at a whole cod in a fish shop and you'll see what I mean. hahahaha.

You could hang a kettle on the bottom lip.

The word "snowflake" to describe the younger generation
Oh and "nitpickers"

Pushing the envelope

What does it mean. I push envelopes into the rubbish bin but I don’t think that is the same ?

People who accentuate their local accents. A friend used to operate the autocue for Cilla Black when when did blind date. She had to type "lorra, lorra" instead of "lots of", or "many" so that CB would remember to say the words in a Scouse accent.

hubby, brew and cuppa.

Feedback, and being constantly asked for it NO !!!!

Ladyleftfieldlover Sat 23-Jan-21 19:00:38

People referring to children as kids. Hate that. People who don’t say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’. People who pick their nose.

Packaging, I shouldn’t need to get scissors or a knife out to undo so many things, porridge oats yesterday, particularly when they spill ( the oats didn’t), white sugar is another culprit.
People who don’t use their indicators in cars.

Jaxjacky I open packages with a knife or scissors then notice a sign that says

Do not use ? or ✂️ to open

Jaxjacky Sat 23-Jan-21 20:18:31

Callistemon ??

am offended by the afternoon funeral ads by various tv people, Michael Parkinson, Debbie Mcgee etc.

Grannynannywanny Sat 23-Jan-21 20:27:44

lemsip I laugh that off as the graveyard shift by washed out actors and tv presenters

TrendyNannie6 Sat 23-Jan-21 20:32:38

Bad manners, Snobbery, Smugness,

MissAdventure Sat 23-Jan-21 20:34:22

Pet owners who don't research, train, or look after them properly.
(Particularly dog ownwers)

Middle lane hoggers on the motorway. Why do they do it ? Arggghhhh

Bodach Sat 23-Jan-21 23:13:15

The widespread misuse of the word 'literally'; as in: "OMG, I literally died of fright!" And illiterates who don't know the difference between "imply" and "infer". And those who pronounce "February" as "Febuary". And people who profess themselves as being proud of their total inability to understand mathematics.
And...that's probably enough for tonight.

nanna8 It's down to personal taste really isn't it. I very much enjoyed Michael Parkinson's interviews when he first did them. However, as the years went on and he became somewhat of a "celebrity" in his own right, I think his chummy chats with his interviewees became a bit too self-referential and annoying.

People who block the supermarket isles with their Trollies whilst gossiping and take no notice when you stand saying 'Excuse Me, can I get to the Yogurts, Butter, Biscuits, or whatever else you need to buy! It gets even worse during the school.holidays, The Gossip still continues, but their children are allowed to treat the Isles as a race track, or worse still a football pitch, using a brightly coloured ball they have just removed from the shelf in the Toys section! Then there are those people who think.it's ok to 'Try before you buy' and open several packets of snacks, sweets, or a cake off the home bakery and eat it before they get to the till, often depositing the wrapper on any old shelf along the way!
Then there are those who believe it's ok to make Sandwiches and take Fruit and Cakes from a Hotel Breakfast buffet, maybe a couple of Yoghurts and a few portion packs of Butter and Jam, slip them into their Big Beach bag, and head off with the ingredients for their free lunch safely stashed away! We have even seen Childen get dragged into the act, fetching whatever the Adult who is with them asks for!

Being told how to comment on a thread.

Sorry, not very 'nice' but then I'm not five.

Feel free to ignore it if you are not interested.

AGAA4

Ludicrous warnings on labels. One on a top I bought told me 'not to iron while wearing'. On my pack of almonds 'contains nuts'.

I love those ! Gave me a laugh,thanks
