RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE

[lolly]

Special mention to the particularly EVIL coffee shop near my office that doesn’t do takeaway cups, and will only serve you takeout if you bring your own FLASK.

The Boston Tea Party chain (don't think they are in London) started doing that in 2018. I still have coffee there if I am staying in, but I've not had a takeaway from there since.

Any re-usable sippy cup or water flask. Firstly deeply un-chic, secondly I don’t believe any are ever properly cleaned.

Denture cleaning tablets are great on metal ones. I'd be very cautious of using anyone else's, though.

And by that I mean using anyone else's potentially unclean metal flask, not using their dentures, clean or otherwise.

There's a guy from another team in my office who's snorting back mucus all day long (he's not sick, maybe it's post-nasal drip or whatever). It's so annoying.

It's not big up here sadly. Or at least last time I tried.

I pay on grindr when I go on weekend trips to suitable places

THE CLOCKS GOING FORWARD FFS

 

[Soldi]

Oh don’t be DAFT. It’ll still be daylight at 7:30 tonight

 

[Finn]

And it'll stop being daylight at 7:30pm weeks earlier when the clocks go back, you STUPID BITCH!

 

[OutSynk]

Those (usually top) Like fishing comments under Youtube videos like “I think we ALL agree…”.

Fuck off, you don’t speak for me (even if I do agree).

GAS OVENS AND HOBS

Why are these STILL A THING in 2026?

 

[Lucille]

Who on earth prefers an ELECTRIC HOB?

 

[Finn]

Why do you want something less user-friendly that can BLOW UP or GAS YOU TO DEATH?

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I hated gas hobs, until I got one.

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Induction hobs FTW

People in shows or in movies sitting down to eat and not touching the food in front of them. JUST EAT!

People sending a video on WhatsApp and it's like 1:30

"Dad's birthday meal Smith's of London" and it's just a jittery video of a table, some food and a singer.

I mean, yes we ALL KNOW that they can’t actually eat when filming and the reasons why, but the biggest offender was The Big Bang Theory. Sometimes just brushing lettuce with a fork on a plate.

Friends actually did it pretty well - although I understand Matt Le Blanc pretty much ate everything for real.

The Gilmore Girls were so bad for this as well.
We were watching The Testaments earlier and the girls were just sitting in front of their food for about 10 minutes, it annoyed me so much.

Cynthia Nixon was able to do it on SATC, is it really that difficult to put some food in your mouth once for 3 seconds?

USING THE TOILET ON AEROPLANES

No dignity in it. Especially if you have to queue for it beforehand

 

[Finn]

THE FACT THAT 'AEROPLANES' IS THE CORRECT AND BRITISH WORD BUT IF WE'RE BEING HONEST 'AIRPLANES' IS MUCH BETTER

 

[Agneeta]

Introducing a new piece of cutlery half way through a meal.

There’s a special place in hell just for you.

Passive aggressive posts that don’t quote the poster they refer to.

The 108 bus in London. Pointless, stupid route that only ever gets in the way.

Or when they leave most of a drink. Especially an expensive one. And even more specifically in a British show because we all know 99% of people in this country would NECK any alcoholic beverage over the price of a fiver rather than leave it.
