that is a pet hate of mine too. I think it's a really personal thing and I don't want to talk to anyone when I'm on the loo. I'm glad I'm not alone there - my husband thinks I'm odd.

Oh that gets right on my nerves too, I refuse to tell them... last time I did it she got proper annoyed I use the automated telephone booking system now.

 

Bratty, obnoxious screeching kids also grate on my last nerve too, especially when accompanied by parents who just let them run riot and generally don't give a feck

Aaah but they may have been asked by the Dr to try and divert patients to the nurse...or as in the case where I work, i always ask if poelpe phonedemanding an emergency appointment....about 75%  upwards of the calls do not requre the same day appointment people are demanding....
If your sick note has run out that is not a medical emergency!!! If it more convenient for you to come that day that is not a medical emergency...especially when you phone at 4pm demanding to be seen that day cos you have work/school the next day...if it really was an emergency you wouldn;t even be thinking about going to work/sending your child to school the next day....

 

Guess what I hate??

 

OOOh an patients that phone up 'can i see the doctor today?'  ''no sorry fully booked but I can book you in first thing tomorrow'....;no i'll leave it!' the n bugger me if they dont then phone the next day when all the appointments are gone..'can i see the doctor today?' and then go on a massive whingefest when you tell them again that they are fully booked....

Well exactly....i get poeple phogning saying its a medical emergency cos they have had a call from their kids school saying they have to be picked up cos they have thrown up....

 

I vomit does not an emergency make!

 

I also get the ones that call up in the morning...wanting an 'emergency' appointment in the evening..then when told we are fulyl booked (and quite often already have 4/5 emergencies booked in) start saying 'oh but i'm having chest pains'....WELL GO THE A & E THEN!!

 

They are nearly as bad as the ones that phone up, get given emergency appointments and don't turn up!

 

And I also hate the ones that phone up or come in and start telling you the ins and outs of their ailments...normally the ones that involve shit or fannies...I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Croctacus

Self-appointed know-it-alls offering their good advice

 

Hiring DVDs only to find out that almost all the film's budget must have been spent on the DVD cover shot

 

One to one appraisals and general hoop jumping bull***t

 

Likewise, business speak and management cliches

 

When shopping for formal shirts, finding out the only ones that don't look like cheap tat are often double-bloody-cuff (yes, that's a very petty one)

 

Chromebook computers, just what is the point?

 

Couples who seem to think arguing with their partners/kids is a form of street theatre to which we're all invited.  I think some people do like making a scene in public.

 

Almost all ITV2's materialistic, wag worshipping brain-dead output.

I love that, proper entertaining Same with people having rows on the phone in public, I was gutted that I didn't get to hear the end of one girl's row with her waste of space bf cos she got off the train before my stop

* Able bodied people who park in disabled spaces because they're too lazy to walk a bit further.

(also applies to bus passengers who go straight for the nearest seat without thought for others)

 

*Spitting in the street, footballers who spit on the pitch, etc.

 

*Parents who think it's okay to swear in front of their kids.

 

*People in queues who stand so close to me that they're almost touching me. Back off, you're not going to get served any quicker by being that intimate!

 

*The new wave of cheap, fake reality tv (Only Way Is Essex etc)

 

*Jordan and her reliance on OK magazine, her media exploitation of her kids, and the people who buy OK magazine and lap up all the media related to her.

 

*People who sneeze or cough open-mouthed and don't have the manners to cover their face.

 

*Being on holiday from work and still getting calls and texts from staff. Leave me alone!!

 

*Thunderstorms and rain in fecking July!!

 

 

That's it for now, I'm sure there will be more pet hates to come

 

 

Katerina

Hi all, not been here for a while,i have loads of pet hates but the one that gets to me the most is TEASPOONS,when  i was growing up a teaspoon was a teaspoon they were all the same size,now there are all different sized ones,at work i have to keep a teaspoon with me,i like my coffee to be the same every time,i have recently replaced the ones at home with a set of 12 all the same size(a size that is to my liking).

I have vague recollections of having this conversation on here before 

 

Maggie xx

maggiep

OMG too much stuff and too many people to list, but I will try.......

 

People walking REALLY close behind me...like in town or the shopping centre... There is TONS of space; why walk 4" behind me!  Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck!

 

Kirsty Allsopp and that baldy git who does that proggie with her.

 

Any programmes on redecorating and refurbishing the house or on cooking!ïŧŋ

 

JEREMY KYLE! (Odious twat).

 

Michael Buble's music and singing..HE is OK but I detest his music.

 

Take That!  (Sorry TT fans...I used to like them, but now find them over-rated and annoying and generally crap..., and the fact I hear their accents in the singing (especially Mark's) is really off-putting...ïŧŋ

 

Hollyoaks and Eastenders.

 

The 'One Show' hosts who grate on me something awful!

 

Most ads (Meercat.com being the main one.... the novelty wore off this about a year ago!)  And ads for loans loans loans, (STOP making out it is a good idea to get in DEBT!) and the personal injury claim ones annoy me too!

 

Loose women!  Used to think it was 'ok' but now it's had its day.  Annoying contentious, sanctinonious, drunken old hags, getting pissed and acting like 19 years olds at uni, when they're 50 odd and grandparents, and thinking it's 'clever. to act like slappers'  Whatever anyone says to me about how ANY age person should be allowed to have a good time; *I* am in my mid 40s and would never behave like them, as I have too much respect for myself and my husband and my children.. Women who behave like that at that age make me cringe...  Yes you can enjoy yourself at any age, but FFS, there are limits...

 

Women who date much younger men and have to 'boast' about how great the sex is.... why?  Is that all you have in your relationship tha tis actually any good?  And why do you think we care?

 

Celebs losing tons of weight and ranting on about it, telling us how amazing they are,, smugly implying how much better than us they are, and how we should ALL be able to do it, selling DVDs and books and making tons of money from it. Then piling all the weight back on, and not really caring to talk much about that and moaning that the press are papping them looking podgy when they were quite happy to use them to promote their 'weight loss.'

 

Nathalie Cassidy (see above gripe) ^^^ What the hell has she done since Eastenders except lose loads of weight and pile it all back on and do programmes and magazine stories about her weight?

 

Claire Richard from Steps.. See the gripe above the one about Nathalie Cassiday ^^^  Same reasons......what has she ever done in the past 5, 6, 7 years that doesn't involve disussing her weight?

 

Katie Price and Kerry Katona... obvious ones those...

 

Jason Gardiner.ïŧŋ

 

Shit proggies like Geordie Shore and The Only Way is Essex, and vacuous thick bimbos and chavs becoming 'famous' for f*ck all!

 

Controversial one........... The McCanns.  they make my skin crawl.  (PLEASE don't ask me to say why...)

 

People who have to offer an opinion or 'advice' when it is neither wanted or asked for.

 

People who moan and gripe and bitch and act like nobodys life is tougher than theirs, and how they could 'write a book' about what they have 'been through;' as if nobody else has ever suffered or had problems...

 

Other peoples small children... especially when they are being little shits and the parents do sod-all to stop them! 

 

People who cut queues!  Who the hell do you think you are that you assume you are SO important that you can get served/get in before people who have been waiting longer than you?

 

People who are continually LATE... my eldest daughter has a 'friend' who is always always always 10 to 20 minutes late... I think 'who the f*ck do you think you are, that you can continually make my daugher wait for you?! '  I tell her, wait 5 minutes, then leave, but she never does!

 

Rebecca Brookes and Rupert Murdoch!

 

Public displays of affection... I see one of these at least once a week... who are they trying to convince that they have an amazing loving relationship?  I don't give a shit about you, or how cuddlesome and 'loved up' you are.

 

People who spend lots of money on material things, or supposedly earn a lot, and just HAVE to tell you how much it was/how much they have.... "my daughter's prom dress was ÂĢ600 and was from America...."  "this jacket was ÂĢ150 from a shop in Mayfair," "my husband is on forty grand a year...."  Are people so insecure that they need some kind of affirmation and nods of approval, and 'impressed looks' from people about how much money they have spent and how 'well-off' they are..? Pathetic.

 

James Bond films... sorry but I think they're crap and all the same and if a WOMAN behaved like him, she would be called a slag!

 

Films where the sound effects and music are loud and the talking is quiet..

 

Charity muggers, and people genrally badgering the f*ck out of me when I am shopping with my family or just on my own or with my friend or whatever, and asking me to spend my money: give to this charity, give to that charity, switch to our energy company, sign up to this and that magazine or catalogue. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

 

People cold calling at the door AND phoning me.  AND people who ring asking for Mr Perry who has not been on this number since 2007 when WE took over the number!

 

People talking LOUDLY on their mobile in public.  SHUT the f*ck up!  I do not CARE about your conversation!

 

People who type in txtspk on forums, and on twitter, and even in texts, and whose grammar is awful "I shouldn't of done thatïŧŋ."  "Let's go too the park"  ARGH!

 

Girls with big stupid hair and orange faces...who dress like slappers. Like this lot...

 

ïŧŋ

 

ïŧŋ

 

Wish you hadnt asked now?! 

 

I am sure there are MORE!

 

OH MY GOD, I feel soooooooooooooooo good after that HUGE rant!ïŧŋ

I get that the Dr asks them to ask patients that but it's such a nonsensical thing to ask Croc. For example, say I phone up with stomach pains. It could be anything from cancer to indigestion with hundreds of different complaints inbetween.

Firstly, why ask me what is wrong with you? I'm not a bliddy Dr, I don't know what's wrong that's why I want to see the Dr - so he can decide what is wrong

Secondly my GP wouldn't give me a diagnosis over the phone without examining me, in fact, he wouldn't actually know how serious it is until he's examined me so I can't see how a receptionist with no medical training whatsoever can feel competant to decide how urgent something is.

And relax................

 

Actually i do have sympathy for receptionists with some of the idiots they have to deal with, but they should keep a blacklist of offenders (people who book emergency appts when it's not an emergency. people who don't turn up for appointments, drama queens etc) and persecute them instead of the rest of us

I know doctors receptionists have some twats to deal with but I find every one I have ever dealt with to be a snooty cow...

oh that's one of mine too, it's utterly crass

SazBomb

 BRAVO to that

I was at a training course - subject "Stress and Ditress"

Cue all the people claiming how dreadfully stressed they were and several embarassingly "honest" personal stories about how they were taking anti-depressants.

Later we were asked if we wanted to "go on to do another, quite demanding"  training course.

ALL those moaners' hands shot up - literally pleading to do the course

Bloody idiots

Saint

People who keep snakes/rats/tarantulas as pets and they escape

 

Paedophiles no rehabiltation is really going to work

 

People who have a dog and dont take care of it

 

People who just stand blocking an aisle in a supermarket chatting and look annoyed when you say excuse me

 

People who let there young kids live in filth or toddlers being allowed to roam the streets

 

Racists

 

Yobs who bully people

 

Frankie Boyle

 

People who get annoyed that Big Brother is returning when it has no effect on them at all

 

People who allow there 12 years olds to go on f/book and post pics posing in next to nothing

I love all of these Renton and agree with them all too...

 

Particularly the last one....; One of my cousins who is 40, has 2 daughters aged 12 and 13,   (and also 4 other kids...all older...the oldest is 22..)  And their facebook statuses has them in bikinis, plastered in make up, looking provocative and frankly, slutty.  When i mentioned this to my aunt, if she thought it was ok, for them to look so provocative, she said 'it's not up to me; they're HER children,' and the next thing I heard, was that I was jealous because my 15 and 16 year old daughters are not as sexy as hers. 

 

And I agree with people getting underfoot in supermarkets and looking disgusted when you say 'excuse me.'

 

May I also add to my list of pet-hates: the people doing the 'dotcom 'stuff for Tesco.. I mean the actually workers in there collecting the stuff from the shelves that people have ordered online, ... they shove you out of the way to get the stuff and are so bloody rude!

Oh, I agree with you there sparkles We went to see Arthur Smith (of Grumpy Old Men) fame a few months back. Just before the interval he asked the audience to write down their pet hates and leave the notes on the stage. When he came back on he read some of them out. I wrote about this very thing, and the whole audience erupted into cheers and clapping when he read it out.

 

There has to be a better system
