What’s your pet hate

groups of people standing at the top of escalators chatting, right in the way of where everyone needs to get off. Grrrrrr

Where do I start!! I'm with you, BlueBelle when it comes to shopping. I just can't bear wandering round with someone else looking at things I have no interest in. Another pet hate is being called "Lovely". Seriously, I can't stand it. Another one is people who end phone calls with "Love you". I really am Grumpy Old Woman - in fact I have a Gold Medal in Grumpiness.

Oh my goodness - all of the above now!!

People saying 'it's happened, get over it' !

Yes, BREXIT

oh and TRUMP

Agree bluebelle I love to go shopping on my own. I also not impressed when people copy things that you buy clothes I mean, same thing same colour same style . Same hairstyle shoes etc copycats in general. Gossipers. Bad manners. Snobs, I could write a book on pet hates

So I'm not the only one who prefers to shop alone .
I don't like shopping anyway - unless it's for plants or books .
Nothing is more irritating than being told what I like or what I should wear .
The last time that I went clothes shopping with a friend - she drove me so crazy that I vowed never again . I had to go back into London to change my purchases .
The girls in the shop said that they knew that I'd be back and were relieved that they didn't have to listen to her medical history again !
A couple of weeks ago one of my friends tried to stop me when I wanted something savoury , because she wanted something sweet !
I enjoy going plant nurseries or to see a film with her -but eating out has become unenjoyable .
The older she gets -the more pedantic she's becoming .
It would be nice to sit in the car with her without listening to her constant criticisms of other people's driving or being stuck behind a learner .
Otherwise , I dislike bullies , rude people loud mouths , who swear...

Also trying to read best before dates and trying to open certain lipsticks in particular that seem to be wrapped so tightly from top to bottom with awful cellophane when opened your fingers are sticky

Hate shopping of any kind.
People who don’t pick up after their dogs and/or who think “Dogs must be on leads” doesn’t apply to their dog. I love dogs by the way and don’t blame them for the above.

1) People who are racists ..

2) Slobs who do not take care of themselves regardless of age.

I never go shopping with anyone regardless what I wish to purchase.

I enjoy browsing and purchasing at my favourite supermarkets, specialty shops and also Zara, my favourite fashion shop(s) ..

Reading these posts makes me feel a most intolerant person - I could so easily screech 'ALL OF THE ABOVE'. Except the women talking with silly girly voices - 'haven't heard that, but most likely I would hate that too...

People who jog round the park leaving trails of pungent smells. Why? And what is it? Hairspray? Deodorant? Shower gell? Can ruin the walk which should smell of lovely rotting leaves at this time of year.
Loads of other hates but this one came up first.

I’m another who prefers shopping solo. I don’t mind shopping with my DD who’s very honest and knows what I like . I find if I shop with friends I end up returning stuff . However it’s not a pet hate .
My pet hates are smokers , litter louts ( I’m on a litter picking group ) . Rude people , bullies, aggressive drivers in big 4x4s SUVs , who think they have right of way and barge through , even when I have right of way. I have a small hatchback and it happens so often !!!

Litter and fly tipping.A blight on our country.How hard is it to find a bin or take your rubbish home?!

People who sniff! I just want to shout 'for goodness sake just blow your bloody nose!' Drives me mad.

I'm with you on this one! So many times on trains I have to stop myself passing the sniffer a tissue aargh!

I have 2 pet hates swearing and people who eat with their mouth open

escaped

Queue jumpers.

I really don't think people really queue much any longer, except at shopping tills. It really annoys me.
Our bus stops are just a free-for-all, I take my grandchildren to school and have to make sure I'm holding their hands when we get on so that nobody gets left behind.

I have been known to pass people tissues, most refuse them or simply go on sniffing anyway.

Little yappy dogs on long leads threatening to trip me up.

It isn't just escalators, there is a certain type of woman who will just stand still chatting with her friends and stop anyone getting through - it can be footpaths, doorways, corridors - it just doesn't occcur to them to move out of everybody's way.

Spiders ….. need I say more?

One of my hates: strangers within 2 arm lengths of me, talking at me.

At the swimming pool, people who stand at one end and just have conversations with each other, and are in the way when others are touching the edge to do a turn. Or they swim along side by side talking and make it difficult to swim round them. Personally when I go swimming it's just to swim. Talking you can do when you get out.

Hate shopping full stop, also the people in cars who pass by my house and throw out beer cans(!!!), sandwich wrappers crisp packets on the verge for me to pick up later. A more recent hate is hearing so many presenters not pronounce the "ing" at the end of words as in "endin" instead of "ending".
