I’m always baffled by the comments that middle aged men make about women’s looks on social media, when they resemble a mouldy packet of Billy Bear ham

Misuse of staycation. Going on holiday in your own country is not a staycation, it’s a holiday. Staying at home and doing days out is a staycation

Why do some men think it’s ok to make a comment when you’re minding your own business? I was in a queue waiting to pay for a top earlier and the elderly man behind me said ‘surely that won’t fit you?’ I looked at the top and for a few seconds actually wondered am I too fat? Then I told him he was a cheeky sod! It was just so unnecessary! 😕

I purchased something online from a small business and have since been bombarded with beggy emails about supporting small businesses, re-ordering, summer discount codes etc. I got five in one day

I unsubscribed but they seem to have a back up email address where their brand name is set out slightly differently. Unsubscribed again and they started texting so I've blocked them
I'm never ever going to make further purchases from a business that does that. Honestly, it feels like harrassment

People at the self-service checkout, who bring their own bag but then don't put their bag on the till shelf, and only pack their shopping into their bag (very fucking slowly) after they've paid. Why, why? 😭
Because the bag collapses and when you have to keep adjusting it it alerts the assistant, who then gets fed up of constantly being called over.
I thought I was in trouble the other day as I listen for the beep as I can't see the screen properly and even though it beeped it didn't show the item. The assistant came over and pointed it out and corrected the system.
I was thinking how the hell did she know as no alarm went off.
The stupid till even used to set off when my shoulder bag kept banging into it as I packed my bag.
Hence why I till everything through and then pack!

People faffing about with overhead bags when people are trying to get to their seat on the plane. Then they're always in and out of them throughout the entire flight.

Because if I put my bag on the till shelf, it says 'unexpected item in the packaging area' - stupid machine, it's a shopping bag!! So I scan it, pay then pack it 🙂

It is one of the pleasures of being 62yo and post-menopausal - these men are not interested in making nasty comments to me, they probably take a look at my dgaf resting bitch face and know that I can give as good as I get!

But it was a different story years ago - I have not forgotten all the comments they made to me years ago when I was more vulnerable and less able to defend myself.
I'm convinced that men do this to (predominantly young) women to get attention, as they know the woman would never be interested in them in a million years, men hate women for this.

8am on a Sunday, and one of neighbours has their two small children playing in the garden. That didn’t irk me. What did irk me was the mother coming out to tell them off. Loudly. Shouting at them at length like a fish wife. After a few minutes of this, I shouted ‘shut up’ and she carried on defiantly for another minute. Then it went quiet. Lovely. I could hear the distant hum of the A47, birds chirping, my neighbours washing machine on full spin. Now it’s 8:30, and someone has fired up a power tool.

Call me old fashioned but I would be reluctant to make any such noise outside much before 10am on a Sunday.

We have a WhatsApp group for our road. It’s a very friendly road and most people know each other. There are often messages asking to borrow something, or if anyone has recommendations for tradespeople etc.

One lady replies to every single one of them. Always, “oh sorry, can’t help but hope you get sorted”

Every single time. It just irks me. I know she’s being nice but after the 100th time it grates.
It's on par with online reviews "haven't used/been yet" nobody needs to know this useless information

My mum does this on purpose to annoy me, and she bites her kitkat whole instead of eating each finger separately
An old work colleague jokingly chastised me for eating a Kitkat whole. I told her that if I was eating it at home, I would have nibbled the chocolate off the sides first, then carefully extracted the top layer of chocolaty wafer with my teeth in one whole slab, eaten it, then scraped the sugary layer off with my bottom incisors. After that, I would extract the second plain wafer layer, eat it, and then finally eat the bottom chocolaty layer. And if in 2016, this was still in the old foil wrapper (pls bring it back) I would have started the whole process by running my finger over the top of the KitKat, so the logo embossed the foil. I’m obviously not going to do any of that at work. I’m not an animal.

Charity people outside shops who ask if you have a few minutes to talk. Then you say no and they say oh it won’t take long. It honestly just winds me up, I’ve actually contemplated driving out of my way to go to another supermarket just to avoid them.

The sudden oversaturated use of the word "Bro", it honestly makes me want to spontaneously combust with rage.
Especially if you're over the age of 13/14, I might be old school, but that and all this plastic road man patter that's crept in is infuriating.
I find myself out in the wild, struggling to keep my hands in my pockets. 😁
