We all have them, be interesting to find out what everyone else's is? This is a bit of fun by the way, no way intended to upset people on here, or a thread to have a dig at others, this is genuinely about pet hates outside this forum, and, definitely NFR..
Mine are..
1) People who queue at cash machines, and literally do their weeks banking, checking the balance on every account, printing statements, and not drawing out any cash.
2) People who don't indicate, especially those on the motorway, who see a gap, and just jump into it.
3) people doing a weekly shop in the petrol garage, should be shot where they stand.
Yours?
Agree with your no 1 especially when they use card 1 and then put in card 2 and sometimes even more!
No one indicates these days and it drives me mad!
People that take a basket as full as possible to the quick check out counter in supermarkets, when there are plenty of self service tills available.
People that never use cash and use a card for silly little amounts!
All good shouts. Nature is bringing me down, Croydon seems to be under attack currently, my top 3 are:
Foxes digging deep holes all over my lawn.
An invasion of ants.
Finding slugs in the kitchen sink & dishwasher.
People who can't thank you when you hold the door open for them.
Loud background music in documentaries (or any programme).
That will do for now.
People who think that indicating gives the the right to pull out in front of you when there's not a space and expect you to drop back to let them in.
People.
People with those bloody wheely bags, that think it's a good place to stop at the top/bottom of an escalator, or any other bottle neck.
Those cyclist that wear full Lycra outfit but only have a Brompton.
Full kit w ⚓️S.
Those a-hats that get the seat next to you on the train, and then proceed to unpack all their worldly possessions, whilst you stand like a lemon in the aisle.
And people.
People in front of you at supermarket checkouts who look surprised when they are asked to pay...then spend an age looking for their credit card or laboriously start counting out cash. Meanwhile all the other tills that you might have chosen move smoothly.

All good points especially number 3, which I agree they should be shot where they stand, disembowelled, then buried, dug up and shot again.
Other than that, I have no pets I hate, I even get along with my pet Dung Beetle.
I think we are all in the same boat here. Bottom line is people with poor manners.
Mine....
heavy traffic, with only one person in each car. I thought it was just an American problem since I have lived here but on visits home (to watch Fulham) it is the same madness! I spend a lot of time in Vermont now, little or no traffic. It is wonderful.
advertising on tv (or anywhere for that matter)
basic bad manners, as stated, holding doors open, indicating etc.
TV Football Commentators eg ITV.
People like Postie and deliveries who leave the Garden gate open..."Shut it That's What Its There For"😡
People mostly females you have to dodge in the street as they walk into you as they got their mobile 6 inches from their face,and haven't a clue where they are.😡

My three pet hates (amongst many).
1. Idiot drivers who don`t move up in a queue (they usually wait for the car in front is 200 yds away before moving themselves).
2. Down the beach, some "Grockle" asks "Where did you buy that" pointing to Kayak or SUP.....I mean you buy petrol for your Jam Jar at a Petrol Station don`t you?, so if your going to buy Water Sports equipment your going to go to a water sports shop/ E-bay/Amazon.......FFS don`t people think these days.
3. The God Squad to get into my property trying to tell me how to live my life, fat chance of that happening now, got security gates up now :005:. rant Over. 092.gif
Drivers who sit in the middle lane of the motorway even when it's empty.
Fans who arrive late for a game, leave early for half time, arrive late after half time and then leave before the end. Why bother to come at all?
People who can't say a sentence without "like", "innit", "no wot I mean" being said several times. I'm sure they have something to say but I just listen for the next "innit".
Grumpy old men who make lists of things that annoy them........

Mine as well 064.gif not forgetting the bit where you plonk your 6 articles on the counter and the cashier asks if you need help packing!
1 Those who at the check out told how much they owe then take ages getting their method of payment out.
2 Those with a lack of good manners

Don't completely give up on him.

Oh that loud background noise on TV (not really music) which makes you turn down the volume and switch on subtitles is so annoying.
Look at channel 81 , old programmes from the fifties and sixties and it doesn't happen.

Not cyclists in general but those that think they have a right to ride on the pavement, was on my way to the Cottage a couple of years ago when one ran into me right in front of two policemen he rode off and when I asked the coppers what the would do there answer was "what can we do"
I take it is still illegal to ride bikes on the pavement.
1. Reading the gripes above an nodding furiously at most of them there are others. Aggressive motorists who join the motorway and immediately move to lane 3 cutting everyone up in the process.
2. Motorists who come up behind you and sit right up you ass as if it is going to make me drive faster. All I do is slow down.
3 people who ride down the escalator and step off and immediately stop and look around causing a human pile up, before casually walking away oblivious to the chaos they have caused
Many of the above, but one I notice seems to be occurring more frequently - people who preface a comment with "If I'm honest." Oxymoronic.

3. Fat people who clog up the NHS .
Had this on a flight recently, I'm in the window seat my wife who weighs 7-1/2 stone has middle seat.
Bloke waddles up to sit next to my wife he's the size of an Elephants back end dumps himself into his seat and half my wife's not a millimetre between his belly and the seat in front, he has to get an extension for his seatbelt and that just about fits around his bulk I reckon he was between 35and 40 stone , good job it was only a 2-1/2 hour flight because we didn't want the hassle of him getting up so we could use the toilet.
Now here's the bit that boils my pi$$ my wife's case was 3 kilos over weight and she had to pay extra for it to be taken😬

Number 2 happened to me on the A3 not that long ago. I was in the fast lane (not going slowly) and a muppet in a Punto was right up my 'arris. I could have easily out done him but thought I'd play a little game and slowed down a bit. He ended up undertaking me and literally leaning out of his window to give me the finger as he went past. I was hoping I'd find him on his roof a little further down, but alas I didn't.

Litter and the last one in particular: It's "I have done something or I could have done something" NOT "I of done something or I could of done something".
Rising intonation at the end of a sentence that isn't a question. The source for this is "Neighbours" circa 1970s.
Starting a response (see 6 above) with "so" instead of "well". This is fairly new.
"Can I get" when they mean "may I have". The customer asks if he/she may have it, the person serving is the one who gets it.
Media as a singular when they mean medium. "This media" - I ask you!
"Referendums" when they mean referenda.
"Stadiums" when they mean stadia.
"Forums" when they mean fora.
American spelling by non-Americans.

Part of my commute is walking between Waterloo Station and Soho, and I have three major gripes:
People who are walking along but aren't looking where they are going because they are busy on their phones, or reading their Kindle, or watching something on their iPad, as they are walking.
People who use golf umbrellas the size of Belgium when it's raining.
People who drop litter.
People who walk along the street in front of you smoking furiously, leaving a trail of smoke in their wake, because they know that they won't be allowed to in the office.
When you're queueing for petrol and the person in front of you parks at the pump and goes and buys a paper and no petrol

I did it during the night as the cat kept jumping on my head so went down stairs to see if it needed food. I didn't have my glasses on and had bare feet. I suddenly felt something squisy oozing up between my toes. You've guessed it I'd trodden on cat sick!!

We get these turds on their $5000 bikes, wearing spandex and a hat that looks like an avant-garde, inverted fruit bowl. They pedal along as if they own the road and one often has to reduce speed to a crawl because you can't see far enough ahead to swing across the line to get around them. As often as not, it is 8AM or 5PM when people or going to and from work. How can you afford a $5000 bike when you aren't working on a Tuesday?

Agree with it all.
The worst culprits are kids on way to school, just drop or leave their crisp packets and pop tins anywhere.
There is a young girl who was fed up with it and started picking up all the stuff on her way to school.
She got bullied for it and called Trashgirl,she had to change schools...

And "Kosher".
Use of "if" when people mean "whether". E.g. "RSVP if you're coming" "You haven't replied" "That's because I'm not coming". Whereas RSVP whether you're coming would have elicited a response either way.
Can I get instead of can I have.
People who start every sentence with So.
People who write are instead of our.

BTW, while reading this thread I had to Google four different words. You guys may have invented the language but your slang is often odd.
Your absolutely spot on. We did invent the language, and it is Cosha, and sweet as a nut, sweet as. A right touch.
Sorry to be pedantic Woolly but since this is about language it should be: you're.
And "Kosher".
People who attempt to correct me at spelling.
Cosha is cool or acceptable, kosher is food.

No, not for me
I'd never heard of it so checked on Google and it isn't there. I assume it's dialect or slang - where does it come from and how long's it been around?

People who say SOCCER.
The weekly football magazine in England in the 1950s/1960s was called "Soccer Star", so it's not an 'Americanism' - though in USA they need to say 'soccer' to differentiate it from their national hand-ball game which, strangely, is called 'football'. Football can be Rugby, Association or American (maybe others?). At least 'soccer' means only one thing. All that said, it's not a word I would ever normally use.
Anyhow :
Shop assistants, etc. who say (or sing) "See you later", when you probably will never see them in your life again. Everybody seems to do it these days. In this context, 'later' used to mean 'later on today'. I'm not fond of 'speak soon' in emails, either.
People who don't even acknowledge e-mails, especially when you've sent them something to their benefit.

Since the Stone Age, like me.
It originated from Isle of Dogs near Millwall.

Litter louts and fly tippers. I despise people who don't respect our environment.
Whilst on the subject of respecting the neighbourhood environment; dog owners who don't pick up their animals' poo.
Agree with it all.
The worst culprits are kids on way to school, just drop or leave their crisp packets and pop tins anywhere.
There is a young girl who was fed up with it and started picking up all the stuff on her way to school.
She got bullied for it and called Trashgirl,she had to change schools...
Terrible.
I belong to a local volunteer group who do area clean ups. The prevalence of beer cans from Polish breweries is horrendous. Don't want to stereotype but the evidence is worrying.

Thank you. I never heard my Millwall-supporting ex-colleague use it and it's a totally new one to me. I see that there's a female singer of that name, perhaps there's a connection.

Your welcome, i am happy for your Millwall - supporting ex-colleague if he wishes to contact me to confirm the details, that's fine by me.
Unfortunately I have not heard any singer called Millwall.

Peopele in front of you at supermarket checkouts who look surprised when they are asked to pay...then spend an age looking for their credit card or laboriously start counting out cash. Meanwhile all the other tills that you might have chosen move smoothly.
i haven't read the whole posts on this so mine maybe duplicated.
My pet hate is people who leave their kids with the shopping at the check out and carry on shopping , hence not ready to pay and keep the queue waiting, urggg! Total selfish inconsideration.
