    A prime minister that keeps telling me to be kind when I am a grumpy old fluffybunny. I don't want to be kind and my name is not Neve.

    Wife's who remake the bed when you clearly made a lot of effort to make it the first time.

    Can relate. Mrs Meldrew has been in Kent looking after elderly parents for the last 2 weeks. Stressful time which she's handled with her usual mix of aplomb, good humour & intelligence.

    First words on coming home and dumping suitcase in bedroom "Have you made the bed differently?...

    I think an apt reply would be "No. But the new girlfriend gave me a few ideas."

    Mate, you need to subscribe to a better class of dating app.

    fluffybunnies who use spreadsheets like they are pieces of paper for them to make their coloured drawings on.
    worthless generalists trying to tell specialists how to do things: H&S, compliance/regulatory, 'management'.

    people concreting the fuck out of sections so they can be 'low-maintenance'.
    fat fluffybunnies with supermarket trolleys full of coke and chips.

    fucking clickbait shit:
    '10 reasons why... Number 6 will make you...'
    'person xyz DESTROYS person abc' on your chosen topic of confirmation bias.

    morons with strong opinions.
    and whingers. them too.

    People who can't use capital letters.

    People who add an "s" to the end of your name or spell it incorrectly when it's really fucken easy.

    So is your name (I assume without capitals): really fucken easy, or: fucken easy?
    (The second sounds a little Italian, to my ears).

    Well I apparently do have Italian heritage and did grow up in a village largely settled by Italians...

    Honestly it's 5 letters and 99% of the time people spell it wrong.

    You know how sometimes on the Fern a thread takes an unexpected turn, and it turns out to be awesome?

    Yeah, that didn't happen here.

    Singers who randomly alter tones and elongate words in anthems at sports events so the crowd can't sing along properly.

    When the whole crowd still waits until the English part of the kiwi anthem to start singing.

    No, the people who use them are not usually men.

    I think you'll find there's a large quantity of men who use women.
