One thing about the AC forum Every now and and then you get people who write stuff like they are so ill and need help cant cope and all sorts of stuff, after everyone replying trying to be helpful they never appear again.

My pet hate is people who lack courtesy and manners ; those who walk into you ( happens often to those of us in wheelchairs ) , people who park on pavements so you can't get by , people who push past and slam doors in your face etc etc . Jillyb

tjt6768

I'm like you Jilly mi dear.. Cannot abide bad manners. And I'm ashamed to say it but this country is full of awful people with no manners, common sense or sensitivity...

One of my all time worst pet hates is 'positive discrimination'
I mean, what the? How can any form of discrimination be positive?
Utter nonsense....
Equality should mean just that...

Chavs, hate em..

Chewing gum all over the paths

Litter

Junkies

Bad drivers

Nissan Micras (I'm sorry DD lol)

Wasps

Karaoke

Daytime tv

Magpies

Eamon homes (blood is boiling grrrrrrrrr)

Sorry , need to add another ; people who see my wheelchair and assume I use it as I have no brain left ! Hubby and I tend to play up to it now , he tells them not to get too close or pat my head as , " she might bite or lash out ! " Jillyb

tjt6768

haha... Excellent mi dear... Love it. Do you growl at them too :?:

People who address me as 'Guy' .................excuse me I'm a girl or hadn't you noticed!!!! I know it's the modern form of being friendly but its an Americanism which drives me bananas ....................... for those of you who use it aim it at anyone else but not me, I'm a girl and proud of it.

I also agree with you Colin about 1-time posters who you try your hardest to help and you never see them again. They don't even have the decency to say thank you, such bad manners. :roll:

The cold. I hate this miserable cold weather we're having at this time of year I'm still in my winter clothes!

Luv,

tjt6768

Ooops, sorry, Legs. Actually, I don't think I've ever addressed you as 'guy' but, in speech, I'll sometimes say "You guys". It probably comes from having a son over there. I also have a habit (definitely caught from him) of saying "I'm good" when asked how I am. My other son tells me "No, Mum, you're well. It's for others to decided whether or not you're good

I do dislike 'hun' and 'hon'. I've no idea where they came from. Never heard them used in the US, just 'honey' (pronounced 'huneeee').

And, just to make myself extremely unpopular, I dislike tattoos. I just don't see the point. Occasionally, I think a tiny one looks OK - until the owner grows bigger - but the rest? Nah - apart from the woman who had DNR tattooed on her chest. That makes sense.

I have quite a few pet hates, just like anyone, if I were to think about it.

But one of the biggest for me is people working in retail but don't have any clue about retail.

I want to go in to a shop and feel welcome and be treated well. Not get sighs or annoyed grunts or looks when I ask a member of staff for help. Not overhearing conversations between staff about who they had sex with the night before or having a dig about a friend or another member of staff. Keep these conversations away from customers please!
I don't like being ushered through the till like I'm not supposed to be there. When the shop is busy, I understand the line must be moved along, but there is a fine line between being rude and being over-friendly. I don't want to see folks suck in a queue for half an hour while you chat to your friend. I also don't want to be completely blanked if I ask a question about the reciept or something.

Retail is a big big employment sector and most of the time the people who work there have no idea what retail actually entails, and instead they only think about punching some numbers through a till or stocking a shelf then getting paid. It isn't like that at all, sorry to say.

Having worked in retail and being expected to have a very high standard, to walk in to a shop and be grunted at or be left unserved while someone is on her mobile phone or something, just makes me want to grab them by the scruff and shake sense in to them!

If I had it my way, I would take over a supervising/management job in Home Bargains here, which is the worst of them, and kick that place in to shape. I sometimes have little visions about what I would do differently. I know their Head Office is appalling, but it doesn't mean the shop has to be.

I've always wanted a supervising job in retail. I would be a tough but fair boss, I think. Home Bargains would be a massive challange, but I like challanges!

I use 'hun'. But only in text. I never say it in speech, it feels wrong. (except for very close friends who are having a bad day - "Hey hun, are you ok?")

Apologies for past and in advance for any terms I use in my posts that grind on anyone.

"You Guys" is one I sometimes use too. It doesn't mean I see you all as male, it is just a relaxed speech I use. "You guys want another drink?" or sometimes I'll say "Hey guys and gals" or a favourite I used to use frequently in general chat forums/threads - "Folks and folkettes"

Yep!

I find some letters address me as Ms... I cannot for the life of me recall a marraige and divorce! I must have been very drunk!

(who is going to post that duplicate/multiple posters are a pet hate?)

dreamdaisy

I occasionally use 'hon' (an abbreviation of honey) but never, ever 'hun'. Yuk. And fret not Sticky, I will never address that term to you.

My pet dislikes? Hmmmm.

Drivers who sit in the middle lane of a motorway.
Drivers who cannot be bothered to use their handbrake thus blinding me with a bright array of red lights.
The same drivers who then stall when the light turns green.
Drivers who forget to use the flashing orange lights that indicate to others what they are planning to do. THEY know, the rest of us don't.
People who winge and whine and I agree with Colin, those who post, receive answers but never acknowledge them - or only ever post about themselves.
Negativity.
The 'guys' thing and the 'Can I get . . . ' thing.
People who can't be bothered to use the shift key for the word 'I' yet do for other proper nouns.


As for hate, well there's only one: spiders. DD

tjt6768

I'm deeply mortified :shock:
I call of of you lovely ladies on here hun... Lol
It's just a term of affection, I don't mean to offend :shock: My world is over lol..

And erm, well, tattoos.. The less said the better Mrs Sticky lol.
It's not just the middle lane on motorways that the hoggers annoy me.. Then sat oblivious in the outside lane of dual carriageways, hate em..
IT'S AN OVERTAKING LANE, IF YOU'RE NOT OVERTAKING THEN MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!
GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR

Oh boy, the spleen is off again. Haha

stickywicket

Tony, you have a special dispensation both with the 'hun' and the tattoos - though why 'hun' when you come from a county that calls everyone 'love'. Oh I get it. I know our blokes traditionally get ribbed for calling non-Yorkshire blokes 'love'.

DD, I will never call you 'guy', love.

tjt6768

thank you Sticky.. Once again I'm SPECIAL lol

I always do call people luv. On here though I thought people would prefer hun.. Silly me haha..


I also say ey up chuck :shock:

I Hate having to pick food out of the plughole in the sink .
I have lots more but cannot remember them :roll:

kellerman

Oh yes...not using indicaters. I followed a man once from one town to another and he must have thought I was a mind reader.
The cashier in my bank who tries to tell me what I should do with my own money....I think she gets brownie points.
The people in the south east who think I'm from Liverpool

Loads of ads when I'm actually watching something I want to watch on Tv.
People who go out of their way to walk into you as if you weren't there.

People who stand chatting in a shop doorway when your trying to get out.

I'm writing this and thinking I must be a very intolerant person.

dreamdaisy

Fowls, the plughole thing is easily sorted - insert a sink strainer. OK, you have to be there clearing the draining water with a teaspoon or summat to help it drain away but the 'solids' are left and easily cleared. I've always used one to ensure that Mr DD doesn't have to clear a blocked sink. As for the shift thing I phrased it badly. What I should have put was:

I dislike the habit of not using the shift key for 'I' but using it for other proper and Common nouns.


Right, another dislike. Needing the lights on at 9am in JULY. :x DD

tkachev

I have to own up to not always using the shift key for i.......usually because I'm holding a cup of tea or a piece of toastand can't be bothered to put it down.
