My husband.
I can't deal with the charity people who stand around busy town/city centres trying to get you to "have a quick chat". Especially when they're blocking a walkway. Ditto the people trying to get you to change gas suppliers. Get out the way!At the minute people that moan about plastic straws but buy apples in multi pack bags or bananas in a bag. Best one was one that started a ban plastic straws campaign but was collecting lol dolls.
Charity collectors waiting at the end of the till. I give to charity but they annoy me it’s pressuring you to give and I don’t agree with it.
People that are clearly ill out in public sneezing on their hands and passing money on drives me batshit take a damn tissue with you.
Just seen that you basically said the same thingThe things i hate
- Half empty aerosol cans left in bedroom eg my hubby and buys more and uses the new ones so we have a cupboard full of bloody aerosols.
- Friends on social media who posts about having a bad day or they are feeling down then when someone asks if they are ok, their response is 'i'll PM you'. No don't bloody bother you attention seeking twats
- Cold callers at my door despite there being a big sign saying please don't knock.
- When people ask you a question then turn the subject back onto themselves.
- When im putting my washing out on the line and the neighbours decide to have a bonfire and don't have the decency to warn you.
- Double standards - family members having a moan about something/someone and then they are at fault themselves for doing the same thing they are accusing others of.
That's just a few things to name, im sure there's more - although it sounds like im moaning
Ergh, chuggers (Charity muggers) are the worst. They usually get a commission for signing people up, or a relatively high hourly rate rather than any interest in the charity itself. I still don’t know why anyone would I want to do that, and it’s really the charity’s hate for making it a thing in the first place. A local high street is like a rugby field these days with all the dodging you have to do!I can't deal with the charity people who stand around busy town/city centres trying to get you to "have a quick chat".

I was in Birmingham when i was in my late teen years and this red cross charity bloke was attempting to get me to sign up to a direct debit. I said I've no time i am going to catch a bus, he said its ok we can walk and talk. He followed me the whole way to the bus stop which was a good ten minute walk. I found it very scary and intimidating.I hate how they have a script to get around the most common, perfectly valid, reasons people might have to say no. For instance if you say “no thank you I already donate to a few charities” they reply “oh great ! Which ones?” Even if you donate to their charity they have a response to keep you engaged.
I find it very manipulative and no doubt quite successful in getting money out of more naive targets. Elderly people say. I know it’s a charity not a scam artist but some of the tactics they use really makes it hard to see the difference...
My way of getting out of this is saying: "I don't sign up for things/give money at the door" and close the door. On the street, I just don't stop. I am rude but so be it.I hate how they have a script to get around the most common, perfectly valid, reasons people might have to say no.

Yeah you know when you look at someone’s Instagram grid and it’s 99% a selfie, making the same face in each one. I really don’t get that. How can people be so lacking in self awareness they don’t realise all their doing is showing how narcissistic they are? And how have they never been tempted to share something else - I don’t know, a sunset, their group of friends typical Instagram stuff?Face selfies.. Why? Those on insta who feel it’s necessary to post a close up selfie of their face on an almost daily basis. What am I supposed to say? “Oh you look amazing“ “gorgeous“ “stunning” when it’s the same face you posted yesterday and the day before ...nothings changed you vain twit!!
SOO many people who have a thread on here are guilty of that.Yeah you know when you look at someone’s Instagram grid and it’s 99% a selfie, making the same face in each one. I really don’t get that.

I recently started following a colleague and her page was the epitome of what I described. It was strange because I wouldn’t have guessed it from her mildly shy but sweet and funny work persona. She posts so many selfies she doesn’t bother trying to think of captions, just hashtags “me” and “selfie” every time.
Just get your phone and pretend your on a call lol that’s what I doMy way of getting out of this is saying: "I don't sign up for things/give money at the door" and close the door. On the street, I just don't stop. I am rude but so be it.
