Pet hates huh. Okay......
I hate to see people spitting in the street, filthy! I detest litter and the people that dump the litter! I loath vandals and the total lack of respect they have for this green and pleasant land! Rude peeps, can be rude in many ways, queue jumping, barging around, arrogance and so on. I am sure there are more which I will think of, and I know there are some that I am tooo lady like and polite to mention in friendly company :-/

Hi Mimi
You know I can't think of many pet hates tonight, my mind is blank as usual. I know of only one and that is someone pointing their finger at me or poking me in the arm. I could fell them one with one swoop. I hate seeing unrully children, running wild and mothers not bothering. It really gets my back up. I hate violence of any kind and any unkindness to humans but even worse cruelty to any animal. I cana't watch.
I don't like being overtaken just because I am a woman by one of these young drivers with their stupid hats back to front. Gosh You have me started. There I have anmed some, will think of more if I can't sleep tonight. I hate not sleeping either.

Carol I understand what you mean about unruly children. I work in an RSPCA charity shop and it`s surprising the amount of mums that come in with their obnoxious offspring, they completely ignore them while they`re looking around and the wretched children seem to do as they like. One woman left her screaming monster in the shop and walked out, pretty soon disappearing from view. I yanked him out of the shop, none too gently by the arm, and delivered him back to his mother without a word. I think the glare I gave her was enough. That must have been about a year ago, she came into the shop today minus the horror that is her son. Don`t misunderstand me, I love most children and I`ve had five myself, but I like to think I`ve brought mine up to have some manners and social skills.
-
Was totally phased when lady I knewwas talking to me and, at same time, telling her son to keep quiet cos she was talking, son carried on. We had very disjointed conversation, with her still telling him to wait whilst she was talking! I am a bad person, think children sould br brought up like dogs, good discipline and love!
Whoops, think I will get loads of flack!

You`re right MB, children need the security of boundaries, they must be taught what is acceptable. I have five, my eldest (now married) is nearly 33, my youngest (twins) will be 21 next month
-
pet hates
- the engaged tone on a phone
- drivers not acknowledging me when I let them through (one day I'll be out with an armed tank for this one)
whoever hit my 6 hours old car in Asda carpark and drove away
- the phrase "I'll just have a cup of tea/finish this page/put this away first" which is my husband's way of saying he doesn't want to do what he has said he is going to do!
rumour tumours (malicious gossips)
viagra selling spam
the leaflets that fall out from magazines
insurance
Oh dear, what a bitter old bat I'm becoming - grumpy old womanhood here we come!
-
What a good excuse for a rant......
I hate
.............rudeness
bigotry
disrespect
Uncontrolled children, woe betide my 7yr old if she tries brattish behaviour!
kids staying up too late
men who talk down to you just 'cos youre a housewifey
changing the beds
dog poo on pavements
....ooh could go on and on and on and on....... but I think thats enough for now.
-
Most of my pet hates have been covered by you all -
Unruly kids
Litter louts (especially discarded fish & chip cartons)
People who leave their dog poo on pavements (giving us responsible dogs owners a bad name >:()
Oncoming drivers who put their main beam on right in your face before they have passed.
Loud mouthed women f'ing & blinding in the street (we have a few of them in our village :-X)
I'm sure I could go on.
-
I think most of my pet hates boil down to selfish and thoughtless acts. I detest litter, or more accurately, those who drop it. You so often see people just throw something on the street without a care in the world. The second it leaves the person's hand it seems like they think they no longer own the item and therefore have no responsibility for what happens to it. And they also seem to feel like they have no responsibility for the beautiful planet we inhabit. What do they think will happen to their rubbish? That it'll just magically disappear..? sorry - I'm ranting.
And I also hate waste, partly because it fuels capitalism and just makes the rich richer but mostly because we are using up the planet's precious resources and replacing them with mountains of rotting plastic. After the bomb drops, it won't be cockroaches that take over the world, but plastic bags.
And people who don't not understand that other people have different opinions to them for perfectly valid reasons and that it doesn't make them any less important just because they are different.
-
Oh dear, the board's magic censorship has struck my post rather ridiculously. there's nothing wrong with c*ckroach (that's my editing there!)
And I wonder what will happen when I type Scunthorpe...
Edit to say - I type sc*nthorpe (with the *) and look what it did to it. laughable!
-
no-one has mentioned telephone call centres >:(
Press 1 to be connected to the wrong department
Press 2 to wait in an endless queue
Press 3 if you need an unintelligible accent
Press 4 to be disconnected
and when you finally navigate through the maze of options.....I'm sorry, our office is now closed.
ARRRGGGHHHH
-
Cruelty/neglect to all defenceless creatures by sadistic,greedy and ignorant people. :'( :'( >:( >:(
People who drop glass to deliberately break it.I spend half of every dog walk picking it up to try and save animals being hurt.Oh and those dreadful plastic can 4 pack holders. :o :o
Kids who shriek for attention.I have to really resist going up to them and shrieking back even louder into their horrible little faces.Are their parents deaf I wonder? ??? ???
Being kept hanging on on the telephone.What was wrong with the good old days of just ringing and noone answering,or the engaged tone? At least it didn't cost ;you could then try again later. :-/ :-/
The words "basically" and "you know" AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
-
Reading all your pet hates had really got me thinking. I think I agre with most of what you lot have all said but here is a few more of my own.
Bureaucracy and bureaucrats. Red Tape, official form filling in etc.
Assylum seekers who are realy economic migrants.
The latest Government scheme/ gimmick/ quick fix for (pick one) Education, transport, health service etc
Bad loosers/ people who think it is their g*d given right to be top in what they d o and to h*ll with everyone else.
TAXES. All of them >:( . Too many and too high.
Thats it for now. If i think of any more i'll get back to you.
-
Thinking my relationships are going to turn out really good, then they don't.
That 1 pistachio nut that is mouldy...
-
I agree about the unruly childred but also remember nephew. While travelling from Dubai to U.K with her two sons, the eldest of the two had a 'brat attack'. While she was trying to calm him and hang to youngest, he started shouting "HELP ME HELP ME " at the top of his voice, and trying to hold on to passer bys. People thought that he was being kidnapped. Very embarassing.
-
Children can make you want to be swallowed up there and then.
When my now 18yr old daughter was a cute 5yr old we were walking along a busy icy street, I slipped and nearly fell and said "oh shhhugar" - she very sweetly (and loudly) piped up and said "oh mummy, I thought you were going to say sh*t then". I didn't even now she knew the word!!
-
Ceri - ROFL! ;D
-
Ceri that is so funny ;D reminds me of when my youngest was once messing with things on shelf so I firmly but gently took hold of his hand he shouts out loudly OWWW you are breaking my arm heads swivelling allround me very red faced looks down to see son smirking !!!! good job i love him or would have chucked him in freezer :)
more pet hates are council tax bills defo not value for money

-
one of the boy's at my nursery tells everyone he has to live in a cupboard under the stairs (older brothers reading Harry Potter methinks!)
-
I hate it when people eat with their mouth open..It is just like looking at a washing machine on full spin!!
Even my step children didnt do that when they were six (thats when I met them) so why should grown people do it!!!! >:( >:( >:(
-
Okey dokey..........trying not to upset anyone........but as was previously mentioned earlier on in this thread......we all have reasons for our own opinions.......
I agree with virtually everything that has been said here..........plus:
....Cats.....cr@pping on my lawn meaning that I have to do a poo check in my own garden every day in the summer prior to letting our children out in it..........and in our flower beds/borders......so that a quick dig with the hands can put a downer on the afternoon...... >:( >:(
....and.....not a pop at anyone's comments here.....as I agree with what has been said regarding ensuring that children are brought up to know and understand the full difference between right and wrong, and acceptable and unnacceptable......but......people who look down their noses, or glare if your child is being difficult without fully understanding the frustrations a parent goes through......or forgetting all the times in the past when their child had been "difficult".. ::)
-
....Cats.....cr@pping so that a quick dig with the hands can put a downer on the afternoon...... >:( >:(
definately agree with that one. I've lost count of how many times I've thought, oh what's that, rumaged a bit around in the soil only to find it's... :P
-
Chewing Gum.
People who talk whilst chewing it.
people who drop it on the floor.
Everything about chewing gum there is .It should be banned full stop.
-
Something else that really gets up my nose and makes my BP rise is SNOBS. The people who wear their blouse collars turned up with pearls on and talk in a loud voice so that everyone can hear. YA YA YA YA YA. I know a chappie who is a Marquis, nearly a Duke and HE doesn't talk like the above. OOOOOh Nooooooo. OK YA.
I also get angry at the amount of bad language we have to put up with nowadays. Everyone seems to be f.... this and f.... that I just can't get used to it. I cringe. Now I am not a goody goody, but to me it is the height of ignorance.
May think of some more.

pet hates?
peeps who cant spool or punkchewate for starters ::)
dislike, authoritarian types, loathe sexists, rascist, and isolationist.. hate peeps who discriminate... spesh housing landlords.. look in your local paper at accommadation to rent and see the discrimination with the words "no dss" where am I ?
oh yeah... jury selection, politicians, peeps who vote politicians in :).. royal family
biggest dss scroungers going.. jail the parasites :)
biggst pet hate is society,, such a fuched up mess yet peeps still content to sweep things under the carpet raher than confront and deal with the issues in afrank and open determination to solve problems
an lastly... international borders and passports ad the like... we should all have the right to travel freely and live wherever we want to on this planet.. do away with borders and we wont have anymore talk aout asylum seekers.... personaly I would welcome the peep who has travelled half way across the world with his famly in search of a better life, mahn
tha is true courage and grit and
should be applauded..

Right here l go--
l hate people who have no manners,it costs nothing to say please and thank you,
The biggest thing l hate are these so called super stores where you can not haggle over the price of things. All they are intrested in is for you to have things on credit so they can get a larger commission for the sale.
Thank you very much .

AND ANOTHER THANG :)
Just what the billy bolox is the BMA and this poxy government laying down this cr*p about cannabis?
total smokescreen (hmm nice pun)
Joints are harmfull if smoked with TOBACCO which we all know is for tw*ts anyway :)
Mental illness? do me favour.. peeps who are suffering from schizophrenia or any kind ofpsychotic disorder shouldn't touch pot anyway, that the whole point!!!!!!! also schizophrenics should not drink alcohol... cannabis is a harmless HERB.. the arguements against it are stale and un- educated.. doctors nowadys tend to put everything down to smoking pot because it takes away their duty to listen and treat their patients.
another thing about cannabis, is that in Holland recent test has proven that cannabis maks you a SAFER driver.. so whats my hate... governments bodies playing people like fools..
and heres me edity bit
Nice to see the forward looking Tory party vowing to reverse the re-classification.. must be an acronym for tory.... tw*ts of right y? ooh got it,,, tw*ts on
