Bit of fun whilst the Internationals are still going on.
What are your top 3 all time pet hates in life?
Please keep it clean, politically free, and avoid using FOF as any references.
For example, people who pull up at a petrol station, outside a pump, then go in to do their full weeks shopping.
Let's have yours below..
::beer::
Chelsea, Brentford and QPR
Just a joke, but I hate all three!
1. Not indicating or indicating incorrectly
2. People on their phones all day and type as quick as you like - but NEVER seem to be able to find their app for paying!
3. Ignorance and bad manners.
Dogs, cats and budgies. I like pigs though.
Politicians who say "we will ensure...", when basically they can't ensure anything.
Cyclists who jump red lights, especially cyclists who jump red lights and don't wear helmets.
Cookies. The IT kind, not the biscuit kind.
Speeding motorists.
People who ring the bus bell after it has already been rung.
People who start a sentence with the word So!
People you're on a date with or hanging out with but they're on their phones.
Opposition fans sitting in the Hammy end.
Recruiters who email or message you, you reply within five mins but then they either take forever to reply or don't reply at all.
People who park next to you in an otherwise empty car park,
People at the checkout in front of you who look surprised when they are asked to pay then who make us wait as they fish for the right cash or their credit card, and,
Probably the same people, who have reversed in to the space next to you in the car park, and are now threatening to scrape your car by getting their purchases into their boot.
Yes, people who start sentences with "so" when they don't actually mean "therefore".
"Can I get" for "may I have"
All those creeping Americanisms in general.
People using the word "fun" as an adjective rather than a noun
People who use " less" when it should be " fewer "
Most unlike me ( as I am normally very patient) but as Ron has already highlighted - people at the checkout who seem to take an age in realising that they have to pay and then take an age to complete the transaction.
People who don't seem able to push a trolley round a supermarket without leaning heavily on it as if it's some kind of life support system.
Cats.
Inane shouty tv presenters and participants, especially on so-called reality TV programmes.
Sorry had to re - read the parameters & change my options... apologies
1) Ikea
2) Burnt Toast
3) All other road users
Barbarism, thoughtlessness and primitive behaviour.
A close fourth - people who use the term. 'I'm reaching out'. You know you're dealing with a dick when you encounter this one.
As Shopenhauer once remarked: 'There are two types of people in the world. Avoid both of them.'
(Except supporters of the mighty Fulham)
1) people who hate cats. 2) Rock music. 3) Ricky Gervais !

Plus the royal family !
::scarf::
Don't get me started...
ONLY THREE!!!
1) People who drop litter, especially dumping McDonalds / KFC wrappers in laybys - lazy, selfish sods
2) People who either walk slowly on the pavement or suddenly stop for no reason .. Grrr..
3) People who park stupidly in the street, because they want to be directly outside their house, regardless of the fact that if they parked properly TWO cars could get in the same space.
You've really got my gander up now.. ::angry:: ::angry::
Deep breath... deep breath...
COYW
People using smart phones at turnstiles who often do not seem smart ??
Fans who regularly arrive 10mins late week in week out and then want to say hello to the world and their wives??
Places that don't take cash ?? Not sure if that's more about today's society??
1. Cheating Footballers who rollover pretending to be injured.
2. The Excrement End Toilet Facilities at Craven Cottage.
3. Boomerangs, because I once threw a Boomerang, and I have been living in constant fear ever since.
People who push in queues especially at the bar and get served first
Players on the bench that aren't kitted out ready to come on immediately
Drivers that don't thank you when you've let them go ahead
Littering and fly tipping,
Inconsiderate, dangerous drivers,
Fireworks late at night.
some of these are funny to read, but I get where a lot of them come from.. in reality there are probably a lot more than three, and they're more likely to be things I've a mild annoyance at. People who litter and slow walkers can easily be there, people who turn up at any electric ticket turnstile without having got themselves ready beforehand is another.
I watched the manosphere the other day - those guys are annoying,.. lacking any form of self awareness and just go into hyper toxic masculine sense of self - unsurprisingly none have any male role models in their life, or come from abusive homes.
Pureplay capitalists (and by that I mean people who'll forgo all human grounding for quick money), anyone associated with the Epstein files in any way that implicates them negatively, power hungry people
Anyone who believe aggression/war is the only answer (on both sides!)
People who stop to think/get their bearings or chat by an exit/entry point to somewhere
People who lack any emotional intelligence
People who think in group-think and not for themselves (so common and mad!)
Places that don't take cash
people who you can hear talk all the time during movies
Hunting with dogs (as seen yesterday and they'll probably be back tomorrow).
Littering
When the clocks go back
Biggest pet hate is people that drive into car parking spaces forward. Physics is against them.
Donald Trump
Lack of manners

People who are asked to give 3 examples.
Beetroot
Love Island
Mobile Phones at the Dinner Table
1..Children in Pubs
2..All Animal Cruelty.
3..People shouting on their phones on public transport and in public places(Sorry but I don't want to know your personal sh×t.)

As long as Ricky Gervais doesn't,you'll be fine.
An annoyance in my world are parents with young kids/infants that they can't control, either on a plane or in a restaurant. Kids loud, screaming, crying, a real imposition upon others trying to enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant.
Mobile phones in public (restaurants, trains etc)
Tardiness
Poor use of the English language
Would of instead of would have.
Loose instead of lose.
There instead of their.
Worse instead of worst.
The inability to count to three.

"Can I get" for "may I have"

love your post holders my daughter says can I get , I've blasted her for it so many times alas to no avail . I think it's an American thing that rubs off on Aussies she's 56 and been live down under since 1996 . And the so is terrible too .
Can't think of 3 pet hates right now but getting beat by Brentford stands out .

another supermarket hate is particularly at cosctco people put their kids in the queue while they carry on shopping .
Brentford FC
Cheese
Starting sentences with, "So." I'm really pleased it is not just me who finds this annoying.

My two cats never do it in my garden, unfortunately we get a bunch of fox's every night driving us mad and leaving a mess.
