Being called love by a shop assistant who is 30 years younger than me !!
IN THE BIN

People who stand in the doorwell of the bus and refuse to move when I need to get off. Inside the bin, I will put a large notice which says,

‘IF SOMEONE RINGS THE BELL AND STANDS BY THE EXIT IT MEANS THEY WISH TO LEAVE THE BUS’

British people speaking in English very loudly thinking the French shop assistant will understand.
Non disabled people who use parking spaces reserved for people with a disability.
TV programmes who refer to birth parents as 'real parents'

Plastic milk bottles where I can unscrew the outer lid ok but have a real battle with lifting the seal bit inside

bikergran Wed 27-Feb-19 08:56:15

the continuous footballs that come over and hit my conservatory roof and make me Jump!

Bellanonna Wed 27-Feb-19 09:00:39

Coat hangers in shop displays where the one I want to lift out inevitably gets stuck to the one next to it.

Men who wear socks and sandals.
The dragons at the door of the health centre who think they're doctors.

Bellanonna Wed 27-Feb-19 09:13:34

People who sneeze into the air

Bathsheba Wed 27-Feb-19 09:22:46

Mothers who talk EVER SO LOUDLY in ultra posh voices to their children in supermarkets, repeatedly using the child's name. You know the sort of thing: "Rupert, come here Rupert, there's a sweetie. Rupert can you pick that up for Mummy please Rupert? There's a good boy! No Rupert, NOT that one Rupert! Rupert! You're not listening Rupert!" And so on and so on until everyone in the shop just wants to throttle dear little Rupert

Smokers.
Drunks.
Coat hangers.
Drivers who don't indicate.
Nuisance phone calls (I have a blocker but they still keep coming).
TV adverts.

annodomini Wed 27-Feb-19 09:24:03

People who spit chewing gum onto pavements where it creates unsightly splodges that last for ever.

Bellanonna Wed 27-Feb-19 09:30:32

All TV ads, especially those about electric toothbrushes and leaking bladders

Gonegirl Wed 27-Feb-19 09:38:09

They've done that 'squeeze here and push down and turn thing' on the little Baby Bio bottles now. Heck of a job to get it open. Surely it's mostly us old 'uns that have the houseplants, and how difficult is it to keep a tiny bottle like that out of reach of toddlers?!

KatyK Wed 27-Feb-19 09:45:32

Drivers who don't I dictate. So called friends who suddenly stop speaking to you for no apparent reason. (It's just happened to us) Grrr

Grandma70s Wed 27-Feb-19 10:01:17

People who think it’s acceptable not to be punctual.

Inverted snobbery.

EllanVannin Wed 27-Feb-19 10:07:16

The displays of bare pregnant bellies in summer.
Men's bare beer bellies hanging over their trousers/shorts.

Incompetency !

Many more as I have a " hidden" low tolerance of many things .

henetha Wed 27-Feb-19 10:20:15

The way men's shirts are still often sold, with masses of uncessary packaging . Why not just put them on hangars like ladies blouses?

sunseeker Wed 27-Feb-19 10:22:14

Grandma70 - oh how I agree with you. I have a friend who is continually late - usually 15 to 20 minutes and she lives closer to our meeting place than I do.

People who don't close my gate - it is there for a reason!

People who park on double yellow lines but think it is OK because they have their hazard lights flashing

A local radio presenter who has the most irritating voice I have ever heard!

Self assembly furniture - I am not a carpenter and if I pay several hundred pounds for something I don't see why I should have to build it myself

I think I had better stop - I can feel my blood pressure rising!

Guineagirl Wed 27-Feb-19 10:32:58

Self entitled neighbours

Mapleleaf Wed 27-Feb-19 10:53:18

People who stop at the top or bottom of escalators to have a chat with their friends!!angry

Jane10 Wed 27-Feb-19 10:53:36

Ooh yes Gillybob - road work hold ups with no actual work going on.
People who park on pavements forcing pedestrians on to the road.
Tailgaters,
I could go on.

Mapleleaf Wed 27-Feb-19 10:55:04

Oh, another .. builders bums!
(I'm sure I'll be back with more)

littleflo Wed 27-Feb-19 12:27:31

Oh yes to bare flesh. Revolting sweaty bodies urgh.

Gonegirl Wed 27-Feb-19 12:28:33

The lazy scumbag of an Amazon driver who says he left my package yesterday in the garden. He didn't. Grrr.

Jane10 Wed 27-Feb-19 12:45:03

People who reply, 'Good' when you ask them how they are!

EllanVannin Wed 27-Feb-19 13:37:53

That's all you hear in Australia, Jane10, along with " hey, how ya goin' " as a greeting.
