My pet hate has to be.....

Babies drinking tea. I semi hijacked the bah humbug thread with this so as per request started this thread.


Yesterday saw a girl pushing her baby down the street in his push chair with a bottle of tea in his mouth :gag:

Why would you do that? Tea is an acquired taste why would you even need to give it to your child?

That has to be one of my all time pet hates.

This is singularly theee most ridiculous pet hate I've ever heard in my life....lol.....but I defend your right to voice it.

My pet hate is the 180 calories in a McDonalds latte vs the 35 calories in an ordinary coffee, I mean how the hell do they get 180 calories in to a distilled fat free UHT milk drink, do they drop a knob of lard in the chuffin thing or what......WTF..:shrug:

Customers who blame me for their car breaking down & have a pop at me for not doing the work free of charge 2 weeks or 6 years outside warranty....you had the chance to buy an extended warranty !

Men & women who say " I can't drive a big/small / 3door / manual / auto car cos I've never done it before.... get a grip & learn...it's a car , they all operate basically the same .

People who say " my cars oil/water level light is on & dash is saying to check the level....what should I do ? " ....... hmmm...let me think about that one ...

Customers who need their phone/ipod fault fixing then don't leave them in the car so we can check....& then complain we have'nt fixed the problem...no ****** sherlock !

Customers with rattles/noises that need fixing immediately if not sooner but then can't spare the time to test drive with a tech so we can hear what they're complaining about....then moan for england when we can't hear let alone fix what they're unhappy with !

Customers who say " well , it's been faulty since I bought the car ".....when they bought the car 1 or 2 or 3 years prior( on one occasion 6 years prior).... & you left it this long to report the fault for what reason ????

How I wish the service advisors where I work had this attitude to customers sometimes! Wouldn't end up wasting half my week looking for faults that aren't there.

Nothing to do with the spaces being wider so people can actually get their kids out of the car safely. That's if the people that actually park in them have kids.

+1. I actually asked someone today if they had forgotten their child as they put their 2 bags of shopping in the car parked in a parent & child space. She just looked at me blankly while I struggled to get my toddler into his car seat as there were no wide spaces left.
 
People who get into the 'hand baskets only' checkout queue... With TWO fully rammed jammed baskets, and carefully balanced 2lr pop bottle in the crook of each arm, with bread loaves tied to their waistband. Yup.. Seen it!

Self serve tills at the local Tesco which clearly are for baskets on saw a couple with a rammed full trolley using it struggling to put all the shopping in the bagging area!:thinking:

Non disabled people who park in disabled parking bays :razz:

That annoys me also, although it also annoys me when there's a gazillion disabled spaces taking up half of the car park and you end up having to park about 1/4 mile away.

Completely with you on this one, it drives me nuts; however, as was once loudly pointed out to me (by someone I suspect was married to her own brother IYKWIM), those damn signs generally do say baskets only...plural. Wasn't a lot a I could say to that :needagrrrrrsmiley:

Well, this is annoying, but it's also annoying when a disabled person parks in one of our parking spaces. I mean come on!!!! That's just bang out of order!

:D:D

Found a new one.

People that make a huge fuss when they sneeze. Instead of just an achoo, achooee or an achahh, they do a massive ACHOOBLUBLUBLUBEHHHH.

Its literally like they are sitting there yelling "LOOK AT ME EVERYBODY I'M SNEEZING!!!!"

I knew someone like that. He'd be walking along stop and then explode, the only person who could sneeze, cough and fart all at the same time.

Very risky, last time I did that it was a very gingery, slow walk back to "base".

In fact a bloke noticed my plight and said to me "hey mate, why are you walking like that?"
I said "there's been a major catastrophe, Ive **** myself"
He said, "Well you dont want to walk like that, you want to walk like this then" and demonstrated a slow tip toe walk.

I said "I will when I've finished."

Don't get this one. You left the innocent checkout girl in the doodah because of a rude customer. I hope you felt proud of yourself... :cuckoo:
Click to expand...

I still see the same check-out girl now and then and we get the giggles over that episode. Apparently management were called after I left and asked the other customer to get off the phone otherwise she would be escorted off the premises.

"Innocent" - nah - she loved it - really brightened her day up she says.

Nobody would stay close enough to find out :) He was certainly someone you didn't want to get into a lift with :gag:

So anyone with a mustache is a homosexual? Nice stereotyping.

Do you know anyone with a moustache under their bottom lip?

Well mine has been here as long as I have been able to grow it.
( I was probably about 6 at the time :p)
And to the best of my knowledge its never been near a scrotum, in its life :p)

Moustache or ST? (I won't mention the offer you made to me a couple of weeks ago - I understand it may be getting a bit tiresome! :p

Too lazy to shave? :p
Click to expand...

Yup! And got better things to do with my time. Weirdly, I actually enjoy shaving but apart from being lazy I also suffer from absolutely horrendous razor rash when I do remove the face fungus. Probably less traumatic to use a blowtorch than a razor (wet or electric).

The other one I hate are the people who love to tell you how much things cost. As if it puts them in a higher tax bracket than you.

Or the ones who have/ have had everything you mention.

I hate those things more than you do. And have done so for longer.

With more intensity.

I dislike being asked how much stuff that I have bought cost. I have (or had) the money, what does it matter to anyone else?

Nearly peed my pants for laughing so hard!!
 
Another shop related one... people who shop by price: "Can I have the 6.99 vodka please?" That's a funny brand name for a drink....

Perhaps they might want to buy the same for themselves, or asking just out of interest. In general it's just a way of finding out how much something costs, not how much money you had to spend.

Fair doo's I'll give you that one then. :thumbs: Tis not pleasant at all :shake:

Fair do's I misread.

Although as I have both a moustache and a "scrotum tickler" as you so eloquently put it, I must offer my thanks for making me aware that I like men :clap:
 
My pet hate is liars and girls that are obsessed with their weight, especially when they have great curves but want to diet themselves to death. I had the displeasure of living with a guy for a year (student house) who lied about literally everything. He tell mutual friends that I was bad mouthing them behind their backs to gain favour with them which was just retarded.

My girlfriend falls into the other category though as shes so damn self conscious when it comes to her weight. Shes in great shape and I love her for who she is, yet she just doesn't seem to be able to let it go. Weird thing is, I've put weight on since I met her over a year ago and my general "look" has vastly changed, yet she loves me all the same. Its strange how she can't even see the same logic she already applies.

Must be a female thing :P
