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?

People in restaurants who order by reading out the full menu description.

Instead of saying “I’ll have the steak”, they drone on with “I’ll have the 28 day dry-aged ribeye served on a bed of sautéed spinach, with homemade chips and a rich pepper sauce”.

Makes me want to stick forks in eyes.

Sam Smith

I agree. I have to turn the radio off if he comes on.

I like a chatty check out person as long as I'm not holding the queue up you miserable sods. I'd rather that than some ignorant person.

air fresheners. or freebreeze. or any vile smelling stuff. Fuck off weird smelling asthma/cancer inducing shite.

My children; Made worse when I've imagined a really cosy family activity that ends up as a huge fight.

Wedge sandals.
People with nice toenails and feet. I have horrible toenails and ugly feet so it's pure jealousy, but I still hate you.
The Canadian I was listening to on a podcast who kept mangling the pronunciation of Srebrenica. I was shouting at him in the end, even though it was recorded months ago and he's thousands of miles away. Spoiled the whole podcast!

Bruce Forsyth or when any celeb is described as a "national treasure".

People who are "Proud owners' of their children

Rita Ora

coughcoughsneeze I said exactly the same upthread. But your full description is better than mine...

Stephen Fry

But your full description is better than mine...

This isn’t just everyday irrational annoyances, this is M&S irrational annoyances

Sorry I didn’t see your original response as it would have saved me the bother of typing when you completely hit the nail on the head.

People on twitter who are primarily known in a specific field, but their bio reads “mother, wife, neurosurgeon”.

Barack Obama’s is “Dad, husband, President, citizen”.

Yeah Obama, I get that your kids and wife are the most important things to you, but nobody’s really following you on Twitter for weaning advice, are they?

“Simples”

The term exclusively breast fed, rather than just breast fed. Always sounds so sneary to me.

People who hang out their washing to dry...it rains,the washing is still outside,it rains,still the washing is outside,days go by...the washing is still outside!

People who have flags flying from a flagpole in their gardens,also left out in the rain so the red on the flag overtime becomes pink!

The term ‘the wow factor.’ They always say it on Wanted Down Under and it makes me want to throw my shoe at the telly.

British people who say ass instead of arse

Mouth noises. But I found out recently that it's a "thing" and therefore not my fault

The constant use of the word literally. Saying absolutely instead of yes. People who say wait, what? Can I get instead of please may I have? I could be here all night, there are so many....

Missmouse "wAit, what?" My teenage son. All the bleddy time!! Aargh!

People who are late to an event but don't acknowledge it or apologise.

People making a heart shape with their hands, especially for photos.

Leonardo de caprio
Women called Felicity who refere to themselves as “flic”
Text speak
People going on their holibobs
Kids instead of children

I live in a cul-de-sac but there’s a road at the bottom which connects two busy-ish streets. When I come out of my road I absolutely hate having to wait to cross the road because people who do not live on this road are driving down it. Which is quite literally the point of a road. And therefore quite bonkers.

(Also I only know about two people who live on said road so I have no idea if these people who have the audacity to use a road for its intended purpose actually live there and are therefore allowed to use it or not )

People who say “can I get” rather than “can I have”

People from the UK on crime TV shows/news who say homicide rather than murder. Why has this changed recently? Is it another Americanism or is there a reason for this?

@joanne721 we actually didn't buy a house cos next door had a flagpole (well it was a minor factor)
Sniffing. It's disgusting. Got off a bus and walked once as I could stand it no longer
The #soblessed and #myworld #lovingeveryminute crew. No one is loving dealing with a screaming puking baby at 4am

feckin UNICORNS on everything
