What little things gripe you? Pet peeves? Come have a rant! :)

[jd83]

Yes! The middle name thing is super annoying. What about the memes that say 'share if you love your child'? Or 'share if you're against animal abuse'?

I hate any of those "share if" posts. Apparently you don't care if you don't share, I take it? Yeah, I'm a scroll through news feed kind of gal, not a share every post I come across kind of gal.

And apparently if you don't share then you don't love your children, mum, dad, Nan, cousin distant relative. And God forbid you if you dont share then you don't support the troops.
Oh and Britain first. I hate Britain first.

Cold ketchup is a new one! Could be a cool band name.

My peeve for the day is people trying to talk me into their religion at the door while I am obviously busy. Naked child in one arm and nappy with turd in the other. An no, don't ask me when my husband will be home. We aren't married and he's not interested either.

Oh yea, I hate that, too. I never answer the door anymore because they roam our neighborhood so much it's obnoxious. And it's always around dinner or bath time. If I'm not expecting anyone, I don't answer the door.

I literally just put a sign on the top door of our house (which is close to the street but too far from the living areas for me to hear someone knocking) saying

Couriers and invited guests, please use entrance at bottom of driveway. Hawkers, collectors and proselytisers, please save yourselves the walk.

I wish I had Jehovah's Witnesses/political canvassers at my door. I've never had it but I'd love to be able to discuss things with them, I think it'd be interesting! Obviously if it's frequent it'd drive me mad but at the moment it remains a novelty for me.

Oh no I never share these. My reason being that I don't like my kid and am totally pro animal abuse

When people on Pinterest decide that they aren't going to do boards of interesting things anymore, like recipes, or fashion inspiration, or parenting ideas. Oh no, instead they're going to spend 50 hours pinning picture after picture of some random thing they've decided to obsess over, that it relevant to literally no one else. Like tea pots, or horses, or, more recently, ukeleles. Like one or two pictures, fine, they're nice pictures, but please tell what on earth you are getting out of pinning 200 pictures of a china tea pot?! HOW is this inspiring/useful to you? This is my Pinterest tonight :

Leaf blowers.

My neighbour is obsessed. He blows the leaves up and down our road at least once a day. They don't go anywhere. He doesn't pick them up for compost. Just blows them around a little . Today he got a rake out and I was like, yeeeah! That's more like it, that'll work better. He faffed about for all of 10 seconds, put the rake down and got out the blower .

I don't mind Jehovah's Witnesses at all, I love a good theological discussion!
I don't love that they only visit early Saturday mornings though I often invite them back later but they don't take me up on it, I think my interest unnerves them

A new annoyance. When any little personality quirk, slight fear of something or tendency to want to be tidy gets labeled as OCD.

Liking a tidy cupboard or having a phobia about germs doesn't automatically mean you have a compulsive disorder!

People who use the infant carrier if the buggy all the time instead of using the carrycot/seat part. They aren't designed for constant use but for short journeys. If an adult were to sit in the position a baby is in when in ibe of these it wouldn't be long before they were seriously uncomfortable (think airplane seats). Ours actually said not to have the child in them for more than 2 hours unless travelling long distances.
I get the some babies have reflux problems.

 

[JessicaAnne]

People that can't spell simple words. I'm dyslexic so I know I'm not the greatest at English but I know how to spell trick or treating correctly, trickle treating according to someone on Facebook. And being is "been" ugh.

 

[AnneD]

People forcing highly processed vegetarian food on kids and calling it a healthy and varied diet.

 

[hayz_baby]

People who are NEVER on time...

People who are NEVER on time...

YES! As someone who is always on time this pisses me off royally. Up to 15 mins is ok, but ive had friends and family (hubby's family, not mine) late by an hour or 2 before for no actual reason. What the actual eff?! People found out pretty quickly though how pissed I get with timing, no one is ever late to meet me anymore

Oh mum and sister are quite frequently late, once his mum was over 2 hours late! It was a bit of a shock to her when she knocked on thr door and we weren't there

 

[HBGirl]

People smoking around my trached daughter then getting all pissed off when I ask them to move away.

I hate blatant liars, everyone tells little white lies, but some are just ridiculous.
I work in a letting agent, and i collect rents.
we have a tenant that is in £2k debt with rent, she comes in with mounts of excuses, her dad has died 3 times, yet hes still alive, her mum is always in hospital.. and that's only 1% of the excuses, me and boss decided i would collect the rents from her house on my way home, i went once she wasn't in, so then when my boss pulled her about the rents she told my boss i had been 4 times and each time collected £0 & £20 from her, she even said she had receipts, this obviously made me look like i was pocketing the money. luckily he didn't believe her as he knows shes a blatant liar, but something like that could make me loose my job, or worse!!

My pet peeves are

Oh not standing on the bath mat to get dry and soaking my bathroom floor

Oh hanging jackets over my cupboard door when right inside that cupboard are plenty of perfectly working coat

My mam having a dig that oh parents don't bother with my kids much but she lives literally over the road and only pops in for 5 mins if that a night, she knows I only have a shower and ds loves a bath but never offers to take him over and bath him while I sort the baby out

How my mam tells friends ect she can't go out because she's having my son that night but she actually nevercever has him in the 3 years he's been here I can count on my hands how many times she's had him

My mam telling people she's worried I won't cope with 2 but again doesn't help

Seeing people smoke around children

Seeing children in their prams when it's cold with no blanket and no hat

Seeing people get nasty with their kids in public, I know we all have our cut off point but I just look and think wow you can go on like that in public I hate hate hate to think of what that poor child goes through at home, when my little boy acts up in public I just get down to his level talk really quietly but change my tone so he knows there's nothing worse than seeing people balling and shouting at a child in public

Seeing mothers outside. Of the maternity wing puffing on a fag :S you have a brand new tiny baby in there how the hell is that cigarette more important? The mind boggles!!
