What do you irrationally hate?

[PepperSteaks]

For me it’s letterboards. Especially on instagram. Especially with some joke about pregnancy/parenthood. I have no idea why but it makes me cringe every time! I don’t really have a reason to dislike them. Maybe I’m envious I don’t have one?

Words that are completely wrongly used. Like

"full fat coke" (they mean full sugar)
"triggering" (they mean upsetting or disturbing, they don't mean only people with relevant deep mental trauma phobias might want to avoid this)
"payment by results" (NHS thing, they actually mean 'payment by activity')

There are other common use examples. I mostly manage to blank their existence out.

Can't speak to everyone but I use that as a joke. So I would also say full fat coffee meaning non-decaf. Is that usage ok because I know it isn't actually fat or does that make it worse?

Ooooh, another recent pet hate... People who misuse the word selfie when they mean photograph.
I entered a competition where I had to send a picture of my cat. I took the picture, my cat did not. But they asked for a ' cat selfie '

Those piss awful banjo playing posh boys from Richmond who make out they are proper salt of the earth country folk. I can't even bring myself to look up their name because they enrage me so much.

Fairytale of New York.

Salted fucking caramel everything.

People parking near (alongside, opposite etc) a marked parking space as if that makes it ok.

Shoppers who don't put their trollies back in the little huts nicely (like shoving a big trolley into the queue of little trollies, or just flinging it and walking off)

Children calling sweets candy when they AREN’T AMERICAN!!!!!!!

Also.... Black Friday

People talking to me when I'm wearing headphones! Go away! I'm in my happy place and you're ruining it! (I do take them off when I expect to talk to someone, in shops, on the bus, etc, I'm not that rude.)

People who put on whatever accent of the restaurant they're in to order food. You're in fucking Stourbridge, not Milan!

Ditto people who say an English word in a funny accent, as if that magically translate it to French/Spanish/whatever.

The young woman in the boots Christmas ad ad who says "me mam" in such a try-hard, contrived, fake-sounding way that makes me think she's never said "me mam" in her entire life (specifically the "me" bit).

The way everything is either gin or prosecco or wine related now.

Every-fucking-thing.

Any post on social media that says - my beautiful ....... my stunning ...... my clever ....etc

It makes me think negatively of them even if your child or pet is what you describe.

I hate trying to squeeze out some washing up liquid, and it taking forever to come down from the bottom of the bottle. Each time I shake it and squeeze it and nothing comes out I get angrier and angrier.

Pudsey Bear.

I hate him so much. Fucking yellow bandaged wanker.

Beards on men. Actually, that's not irrational.

Straps hanging down from people's rucksacks on the parcel shelf on the train. Totally irrational but freaks me out. I have to keep my head down on Mumnset

Secret Santa

Wrong post sorry! Don’t even know how that happened.

The ginger farmer from Countryfile

The young woman in the boots Christmas ad ad who says "me mam"

Yes! 'she's me mam' drives me potty.

Men in loafers without socks.
People who say "so I just turned round and said"... "she turned round and said". Who on earth is turning round before they speak it's not Oklahoma!

"Sugar free" If I want sugar, let me make that choice!

Feet.
Ugly footwear.

Snacks and the obsession with them.

They were invented by advertisers to punt us shit food.

Every diet has snack choices - maybe ditching the snacks would mean the average person could ditch the diet!

People speak about snacking...ugh

"Feeling blessed" usually on f/b
"Crowd pleaser" Yes, I'm looking at you Sainsbury's magazine..
"Glugable" what a so called wine expert calls a decently priced bottle of wine..it's so wanky.
I'll think of a few more in a minute..

People who don't like cats (actually not that irrational)
Snap chat filters
Long nails, especially pointy ones
Grown ups who think it's clever and daring to get drunk all the time, you're not 18 ffs.
The way Americans say 'erbs in stead of herbs.
Drivers who think indicators are an optional extra
Drivers who don't give way when the obstruction is on their side and then wave a cheery thank you to me. Like I had a fucking choice.

I need to stop now. My blood pressure is rising.

Yes to Cliff Richard! This has nothing to do with the rumours. I hated him as a young girl, I think it was Mistletoe and Wine that did it but not sure why. If he's ever on t.v I feel my lip curl and either turn the telly off or walk out of the room. Even typing about him is making me feel tense!

Christmas.... I loathe it with a passion.
Did not like it even as a small child.
