If you had the chance to shelve your worst pet hates, what would they be?​

 

[Josie]

People that litter is one of my pet hates - they are also likely to be the ones that then complain how awful everywhere looks!

 

[Mad Murphy]

apart from the above..
People who think that indicators on cars are like Christmas tree lights and only to be used once a year!!!
Im not psychic !

 

[Kara 1]

Inconsiderate people ...

 

[excuseme]

indicating to turn right when at a roundabout and not remembering/bothering, to indicate left when getting to the correct exit.

Like Mad Murphy, I'm not a mind reader!!

 

[Sezzy]

Spitting

similar to prior complaints - people who complain about dog poop from our therapy dogs but dont say a peep about the FOREST of cigarette butts on the ground.

EDIT: to clarify, therapy says they pick up and its the visitors who arent... but even SO.... this is a nursing home, the dogs are for the residents... the cigarette butts are just for your own cancer.

Militant cyclists that think it is ok to go through red lights or cycle up the wrong way on a road and generally ride around thinking that the rules of the road don't apply to them

I have another one which is dog related....

I can't believe how many people will allow their dogs to approach the dog I am walking when I have very obviously given signals that the dog shouldn't be approached (Both problematic dogs are entire males) I put the dog on the lead and either take an alternative route or pull them to one side and gather their attention.

If I ever see anyone act this way I always put Dennis on the lead until we've passed out of curtesy.

Oh lord save me from the 'dogs love me' idiots, even though I warn people Murphy is not good with strangers they lean forward into his face and hold out a hand and coo in a silly voice 'oh but Im alwight arent I? oh he knows I just want a cuddle' .. I feel like slapping them
they are up there with the 'my dog just wants to be friends'type

It's so frustrating! I just can't understand how people cannot read the signals or understand that what you say is true

 

[Flobo]

Agree with both the above, I get it when walking a couple of my dogs with issues who I have on a lead, if I call to the approaching dogs owner to call their dog back please I generally get the response ' it's ok my dog is friendly' so then I have to say 'yes, but mine isn't!!' and by that time there could be a potential problem .. If someone asks me to call my dog back I assume there is a reason and just do it, I don't feel the need to question it.

I hate people using abbreviations to replace words! it is the laziest form of writing and texting, certainly not clever. It can take a long time researching to find out what is meant.!!
