Worried about the number of adverse comments about cyclists on this thread. I bike everywhere. I do it to help the environment and rarely use a car even though I own one. About a year ago I was cycling on a dual use pavement for pedestrians and bikes. A lady with a dog was in front of me. I rang my bell and all hell broke loose. She turned round, grabbed my handlebars and screamed in my face for making her jump. Threatened to set the dog on me - it was growling horribly. I have never used my bike bell since. Thoroughly shaken, the next few times I used the dual use path I bumped down into the road to go past pedestrians. Three separate lots of motorists wound down their windows to scream abuse at me for not using the cycle path and getting in their way.

Wind chimes

Women who wear white trousers with black thongs or any trousers that are not totally opaque with thongs. All people who let their trousers fall, whether for fashion like New York Gangsta culture or as a builder's bum. I don't want to see their thong, underpants, knickers and definitely not any part of their bum.

Americanisms, bad language, Donald Trump.

I would put in holiday makers abroad who put a towel on a poolside chair all day even when they go out with no thought for anyone else. Selfish doesn’t even cover it ?

I'm with Granny23, but in my case it's all coathangers. They conspire to hook together wherever they are. I feel that they have a grudge against me.

Also those people who constantly moan and criticise about how a club or organisation is run but will never join a committee or take on any responsibility.

inishowan I've got this terrible image in my head that wont go away. I do hope you meant pick not lick grin. But I'm with you 100% on the non-picker uppers and the throw over the hedge owners.

Granny23 wire coat hangers!! I hate, hate , hate them. As for shampoo/ conditioner bottles looking the same without my glasses on .....apparently though it doesn't matter if you use conditioner first. Just as well as I was forever doing it but now I put a rubber band round one bottle so I know which is which. Except of course I can never remember which bottle has the rubber band. Why does life have to be so difficult ?

All religions! No need for explanation, it’s blatantly obvious!

MooM00 Tue 19-May-20 12:32:23

People that don’t wash out things that go in the recycling bin, tinned beans, tinned tomatoes etc. That is just dam right laziness.

Armchair experts who know everything and always know someone experiencing ‘it’ on the front line.
Celebrities on celebrity programs. Who are they and what are they celebrated for?

Phloembundle Tue 19-May-20 12:30:09

Noisy motorbikes.
Every piece of rap music ever composed.
People who let their dogs shit anywhere.
Reality tv shows.
Bananas.
Chinese takeaways and ready meals that use fake meat.

I could go on and on and ...............

Journalists who keep asking the same questions throughout this crisis and don't bother listening to the answers. Questions put by members of the public have been more pertinent.

Puzzler61 Tue 19-May-20 12:16:21

People in a restaurant who are at the table behind you and they shout as if everyone’s deaf, and love the sound of their own voice.
Spoils my evening if DH and I are out for a meal.

Westminster and the royal family.

sarahellenwhitney Tue 19-May-20 12:03:19

BGT without a doubt. I feel embarrassed for those who think they have it but clearly don't.

Notright Tue 19-May-20 12:03:05

Donald Trump.

timetogo2016 Tue 19-May-20 11:59:56

Also,people who feed seagulls.

inishowen Tue 19-May-20 11:57:43

Dog owners who lick up the poo and put it in a bag. Then when no one is looking throw it in our hedge.

Rosina Tue 19-May-20 11:57:21

My next door neighbour, who has over the months ruined my view of the night sky, which was often spectacular, with his profusion of winking, blinking garden fairy lights in primary colours which are all I can see now when I try to look at the moon and stars. He's quite a decent person - perhaps I could pull all the lights down and throw them into Room 101. But then he might buy more.....
