I was going to call this thread petra's pet hates, but then I thought loads of others on here no doubt get super irritated by things...so room 101 it is.
1. Sticky labels which don't peel off easily - THERE IS NO NEED!!!
There were several others which I've just completely forgotten..so..
2. Having a memory worse than a sieve because a sieve does retain some things.

Oh dear, you do realise what you've done don't you? If you haven't, you will in a minute: 1. Duck faced 'selfies'. 2. Dog owners who let their dogs run riot off the lead. 3. The UK press. 4. Old people in supermarkets who leave their trolleys width wise across an aisle - so you can't get past with your trolley, causing a trolley jam. 5. Bad mannered people. 6. Drivers that shout abuse at pedestrians as they drive along. 7. Five pence pieces (I have big hands) 8. People who think ADHD is a 'made up by the drug companies' thing. 9. Online comments sections where people make 'seagull' comments: i.e. they fly in, shit on you, and then fly off again. 10. The United States of America 11. Cheese with fruit mixed into it during the manufacturing process - if I wanted Wensleydale and apricots, I buy them separately. Don't assume anything about my cheese eating habits. 12. Inconsistent words: Sexism, racism, ageism, and then homophobia? Seriously! What gives? I think that's enough to get me started. There WILL be more

1 Holiday Resorts - I hate plastic places set up for the purpose of organised pleasure. Just, no.
2 Gift shops and "gift idea" sections of ordinary shops. Let's just gift people with quality stuff that they will use and enjoy, and leave out the cellophane packaging and novelty bin-filler items, please. For example, my sewing basket doesn't need any more Cath Kidston floral painted, blunt alloy metal scissor sets from the John Lewis Lady Gift Department. I need precision engineered, hot forged steel direct from the factory in Sheffield. They will cost you less and serve me longer!
3 Fairtrade fruit and veg wrapped in sweaty plastic bags, in order to differentiate it from the unfairly traded stuff. Let the selfish shoppers suffer the sweaty bananas, or just stop selfish trading altogether.
I'm sure I'll be back with more....

A few more..........
13. 'Freemium' computer games. Just let me pay for the damn game and stop bugging me for extra cash! 14. People who stare at their smartphone whilst walking along and then expect me to move out of the way. Apple are yet to develop a 'personal forcefield app' so the should be more aware. 15. Grumpy cat. 16. Audi drivers (generally). 17. Ridiculously over the top crisp flavour combinations. Similar to the the cheese and fruit thing, if I'm so desperate to savour the taste of sweet chilli chicken, I'll buy some. Using a slice of deep-fried potato as a delivery system for a poor imitation of the taste? Nah, you're alright. 18. KFC's 'chicken gravy' - used to be awesome. Now? Well I wished they'd stop bothering to offer it. 19. Vladimir Putin. 20. Basically, essentially, obviously and other words of that ilk. Particularly when used in conversation. For goodness sake, the English language is one of the most diverse on the planet. A veritable bounty of words, phrases and idiom. If you need time to think, then take a breath. Don't fill a sentence with padding. 21. Politicians.
I'm 35. Beginning to think I might be hitting the 'grumpy bugger' phase.

I agree with all of the above apart from cheese and fruit! I like a bit of Wensleydale and cranberry at Christmas I would like to add: ATOS. People eating with their mouth open. People taking pictures of every little thing they do or see. Why do you need to take a picture of your lunch? Housework, it's always nagging in my mind to be done. People that say "Oh I think I have a little bit of ADHD because I sometimes forget things". TV in general, just leave me with iPlayer and Netflix and I will be fine! The News. There is too much of it now days, we have a massive population on earth which allows for the news to cherry pick what they want to show. Why is the news mostly bad, I know there are terrorists and stuff, but the only one that's trying to scare me is the news that shoves it down my throat all day everyday. Cancer. F*ck Cancer. Adverts with jingles that stick in your mind. FU we buy any car! Websites that when you are signing up and you make one small error, it deletes all of your details and you have to start again. People from charities knocking on my door and trying to use emotional blackmail to get me to donate "just £5 per month". I could go on but I am just winding myself up thinking of all the things that annoy me!

If there's one thing I hate more than anything in the world, its hearing other people eat. That moist slapping action of the tongue and cheeks! I can't even stand it when I hear myself eating!! *rage*
I hate when you ask someone a simple question and they reply with a very unreasonably long winded answer which takes half an hour when all they really needed to say was one word.
I hate when people move my things. I put it there for a reason so I know exactly where it is! Move it and I forget it even exists so three years down the line when I have a random irrelevant memory of said item I won't be turning everything up side down to look for it! Even if I don't need it!
I hate parents who let their kids scream in public.
I hate people that get a dog and then leave it outside.
I hate seeing people wear their coats unevenly and their hood is tucked in instead of resting on the outside. Makes me want to sort it out for them.
I should stop, I'll be here for days!!
*edit to add* i hate when I buy myself food because I'm hungry and get home, still hungry but don't want what I bought myself!! Especially when I start eating it before I realize I don't want it!! Omg, waste!

I can't even stand it when I hear myself eating!! *rage* This is the most rage inducing thing for me. I haven't eaten with my brother for probably more than 15 years because of it. I am a very chilled out placid person, but hearing people eat like pigs is enough to make me want to genuinely hurt people. When my dad was alive and he used to come in drunk from the pub I used to shout at him about it. I have lost friends over it & I could meet the woman of my dreams that's perfect in every way, but if she makes loud noises when she eats then it would be a deal breaker. Irrational I know, but I can't help it!

People who feel the need to explain things in elaborate detail even tho iv already said yeah I know what you mean after theyv said the first sentence , sometimes the first word! If I wanted you to elaborate id ask ! .... But to be fare I zone out after I get what they mean which is slightly embarrassing when they ask a question about what theyv just said ?

I hope I do not offend, but here are some of mine.
1. The x-factor 2. Dolmio adverts : they make me uncomfortable 3. Magaluf 4. Geordie shore : I am a geordie and I can't stand the way they go on. 5. The smell of public toilets 6. Cotton wool : yak. 7. Duck faced selfies 8. People who think ADHD/ADD is just a label for badly behaved children : my response is ALWAYS "so is it also a label for badly behaved adults since they are also capable of having a diagnosis?" 9. Odd numbers : when people turn their radio volume up to an odd number instead of an even. 10. System players : I know a young lad (remain annonymous) who receives his PIP payments just for "acting" like a psychopatch when he is totally healthy. Meanwhile most people on this thread really need it.

Today I'm putting calories in room 101. Not chocolate, not biscuits or crisps..just the calorie aspect. I would prefer these foods to be extremely nutritious too, but this just seems to big an ask.

The neighbours who are out in the garden with their entire extended family, singing along to the Bee Gees.
How deep is my love? There are not enough expletives in the world.....

Would it be rude to stick my head out of the window and join in the current rendition of "After the love has gone".....?!

No. Do it. But you've got to record the whole thing, including neighbours reaction and put it on here for our entertainment.
I have a niggling feeling your neighbours might not get it, and join in singing with you. Do it now before you have any more time to think, and report straight back.

Problem here is, with you being invisible...it could appear that one was talking to oneself.

How am I invisible? I have many tabs open, and Downton on the telly box in the front room, so I can no longer hear the karaoke. Or respond to urgent posts about long-forgotten but admittedly previously urgent-sounding plans to perform Earth, Wind and Fire hits! Lady Mary is being blackmailed, Anna has had her pregnancy hopes dashed and Mrs Patmore is questioning Carson over his intentions in the marital bedroom department... it's all go at the Abbey! Edit: With Downton over, I did sing along to Bridge Over Troubled Water, while bringing the cat in. I doubt I was heard over the karaoke though.
