Deceit

Tattoos, noisy neighbours, salted caramel. I want proper sweet caramel back.

What's vocal fry?

Tattoos on older people - looks stupid in my opinion. I wonder what they will look like when you get really wrinkly!
The usual bad guys - Putin et al.
Over-exaggerated gesticulations, e.g. fanning your face with both hands.
Talon fingernails.
Grumpy old women (me).

🤬All those ‘orrible plastic things known as kimbles that are put on just about every clothing item and more that we buy.

They are an utter menace and even when I carefully snip them off (it’s the first thing I do after any shopping trip) tiny pieces fly off and can be found buried in carpets and other areas for ages.
Ban them! Find some other method …we managed before they were invented.

Wars and tyrant leaders who ruin the lives of millions through their over- reach and power complex.
Cruelty to children and animals
The lack of transparency and obfuscation around the perception that some issues relating to criminal activity is too hot to handle so they can't be discussed.
Right now! the tube drivers on strike, selfish! considering they are very well paid.
Famous people's children who become elevated without any particular talent (not all some are quite accomplished in their chosen field) the ones who haven't trained at anything in particular and just parade themselves around saying "I have to work really hard to get where I'm going"
Cyclists who do what they like whether it's riding on pavements recklessly, going through red lights and think the roads belong entirely to them in spite of not paying any road tax. E scooters as well - no joined up legislation as to their use.
Scammers
People who let their children run riot in restaurants and coffee shops.

Yes absolutely should be taxed, tear- arsing around the streets like lunatics They might think twice if they were taxed & have to have reg plates.

Mt61 - basically - almost! Says it for me - it will certainly do.

And James O’Brien

When you take headache pills from a foil strip and then the foil strip won’t go back in the packet because the instruction leaflet is in the way! Aargh!

Sweetcorn
Plastic
Glitter

I’m adding Coriander to my list too YUK 😝

Reform to fizzle out.
Alzheimers to disappear
The Co-op to forget politics

Most of the above plus pavement parkers. Walking through our village is a nightmare, especially at weekends with cars and vans parked half on, half off the pavement giving one a choice of risk being run over by walking in the road, or squeeze past them and risk being savaged by the hedge or getting filthy from wiping your clothes along the side of the offending vehicle!

Send all coriander to me - I love it ! You can have those nasty little miniature sweetcorns you get in Chinese cooking in exchange.

The first few times I saw someone doing that fanning their face with both hands thing was most likely on some reality tv nonsense…I kept thinking maybe someone had ..ahem.. 😳 passed wind!

Those loo roll dispensers often found in public toilets which have a large roll encased in a container with a slot at the bottom and each time you tear a piece off, the end vanishes up into the container - and you have to spend ages with your fingers in the slot spinning the roll round trying to get the end to drop down again.
Or is it just me?

Witzend

‘Early doors’. I want to thump anyone who says it!
Those perishing ‘Fresh!!!’ TV ads for smelly laundry additives.

Those adverts drive me mad. Models sniffing newly washed clothes which have been drenched in unnecessary article smells and shouting ''Fresh fresh''
