When my children were smaller and inclined to moan now and again, I used to say “tell me what you do like, not what you don’t”. So with that advice in mind, here is a list of my pet hates:
(and in no particular order)
people who Cc you in emails instead of putting you either in the ‘to’ line or sending you a personal email
toast crumbs in bed
people who can’t control their dogs when they’re out and about
people who can’t control their dogs when they’re out and about and then put them on those ridiculous extending and dangerous leads*
making lists
making lists
people who insist on telling you about their religion
those same people who then become offended, or try to convert you, when you tell them in answer to their questions, that in your opinion there is no god and that you’re happy believing that there is no god
those people who then try to threaten you by saying that only believers go to heaven (good grief - what are they on?)
solicitors
greenfly
cold feet - mine
husbands - mine
spiders that insist on coming inside
builders’ bums
men whose main concern is finding a woman
women whose main concern is finding a man
cannulas
burning the end of your tongue
feeling like you should be putting ‘one’ instead of ‘you’
noticing any spelling and grammatical mistakes in everybody’s text but your own
being called darling, sweetheart, love, term of endearment by strangers
being addressed at boob level
*Lily doesn't count!
*Lily doesn't count!
