I hate

This one was made up by idiot Americans and subsequently commercialised for the thickest segment of society.

By Americans you mean the Irish.

Controversial opinion here; but I enjoy fun events and celebrations.

Ultimately you get out what you put in. Which I guess explains the bitterness here.

I hate wanten littering. In the park and by the cafe is a table full of rubbish. Two bins within 5m.

West coast of Scotland too. We use to go trick or treating, or guising as it was called locally, when I was a kid in the 1970s. All the locals did it, so I think it must've been well established a long time before that.

All Hallows Day is still a public holiday in most of Europe too.

That's interesting, makes sense I guess.

I hate shit zips.

Solid 10/10 hate that I can get behind 👏

Blue plastic shoes covers at the swimming pool.

Take your shoes and socks off on the bench provided, less single use plastic. You are about to have bare feet anyway FFS!

Fucking Fly tippers. Some cunt has just dumped most of a kitchen in a river about a mile from an actual tip FFS

Yeah the absolute worst. Someone's tipped a load of asbestos panels in a field near me.

Still a few quids of hooks there though if you wanted to salvage them...

The fuckin worst, hate it so much

Absolute death to flytippers. Solid hate.

Fly tippers = Landlords

I always assumed the covers were to go over your outdoor shoes so that you don't spread dog shit and mud where people are in bare feet.

Yeah…you don’t take your shoes off.

you don’t take your shoes off

I've tried swimming in my shoes and it sucks. You are weird.

The shoe covers are for the people not intending to swim

There was a family of 3 putting them in as I left. Parent and two kids that are too young to swim without an adult in the pool with them. No lessons at that time of the day. That's six pointless shoe covers.

I don’t understand what this is supposed to mean?

Shoe covers (I agree wasteful) are not for swimmers but for spectators on poolside who don’t want to take their shoes and socks off.

I went swimming on Saturday. There were a load of people that were swimming who were putting on shoe covers in the entrance to the changing room. I hate it.

Spectators aren't allowed poolside. There is a separate spectator area which has access elsewhere.

The shoe covers are reasonable for parents of young children having lessons but nobody else should be using them.

Ok those people are doing it wrong

The last place we used that had them, people would hoard and re-use. We just use indoor flip flops

Our local pool had them for a while. People were meant to use them and put them back in the dispenser as they weren't disposable. Lasted about a week as too many idiots used them and lobbed them in a nearby bin when done.

The pool took them away and did two things instead:

• staff challenged every single person who appeared poolside in outdoor shoes (either making them take their shoes off, move back to the area where you can have outdoor shoes on or, for some elderly people, give them some shoe covers)
  
• upped the frequency of the floor cleaning in the changing area where outdoor shoes can be worn
  
  

I'd prefer it if they brought back the foot dip pools between the changing rooms and poolside that couldn't be avoided (unless you spoke to staff and got let in a side door). At least that stops anything that bare feet have picked up from getting into the pool.

I hate the person in my home village who dropped a note through my mums door asking if she was interested in a council house swap of their 2 bed for the 3 bed which has been our family home for 40+years.
No problem with making an enquiry but we haven’t event got my late father’s casket of ashes back yet. FFS!

You insensitive fucknugget.

(FWIW She will likely do a swap but in her own time when she is ready and for one of the bungalows in the village)

We got a note through the door of my Mother-in-Laws house within days of her passing away asking if we were selling the house.
Since then we have had multiple “so sorry to hear about Jenny, what are you doing about her house” conversations. Some with added “it must be a bit run down, you’ll be wanting to shift it quickly” avarice.
