What do you irrationally hate?

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 who have stood in a queue for ten mines then seem surprised they have to pay. Lots of faffing finding purse in bag / credit card / loyalty card / correct cash ....... ShockConfused

Wardrobes... I find them menacing

The word cuddle
When people say/type 'Wow, just wow'..... Just F off!!
Noisy eaters, I can't bear it

Every bloody Christmas with the PIL !

FIL wears a jolly Father Christmas hat and Christmas jumper and likes to hand out the presents making little jokes . My SIL giggles away at them like a school girl ( she is 56 )

All our children are now young adults so it's not as though it's for them

Only had to witness this for past 25 bloody years ( with exception of two when I persuaded my DH that we and the DCs go away - bloody bliss )

People with over developed sense of smell or hearing.

Blaze from Blaze and the Monster Machines. He's a twunt.

Trainers. I hate them. There’s no reason for it, but I fucking loathe them. I refused point blank to allow my eldest to wear them for anything other than PE. The younger two have ASD, and neither cope well with formal shoes. One wears walking boots, the other lives in trainers. I spend my life constantly trying to avoid looking at feet.

Yes, I’m utterly unhinged.

People constantly posting every single tiny milestone of their baby’s life. Especially with those twee little cards alongside with the months and milestones next to them! Keep it in the family album, we are happy that you have a baby, but FFS I dont need to know the date and detail of every time little sebastian eats a fecking banana/rusk/pasta etc... Hmm

Also. Public Yoga wankers. (No not the normal every day yoga-class attending types) I mean the constantly lycra clad ones who obsessively selfie themselves in ridiculous places/poses, and insist on thrusting their downward dog in your face when all you wanted was a quiet coffee in a coffee shop!

Currently lying in bed and my duvet isn't touching the four corners of the duvet cover so it's a bit folded over. I'm seething.

Picky eaters, especially when you watch them pass it down a generation.

People who repeatedly refer to their pets as their children. Or compare your relationship with your child to theirs and their cat.

WellGoshDarnIt · 25/11/2018 23:18

Oh and crap written on living room walls:

Live, Laugh, Love
That wank about learning to dance in the rain or something
Bollocks about loving like you've never been hurt

And my personal nemesis:

'At this moment, time stood still'
(Accompanied by a stopped clock and a picture of an infant. In black and white, natch)

Just fuck right off, you twee idiots.

LittleBittyKitty · 25/11/2018 23:30

Coathangers. Totally hate the things, getting tangled up with each other. I'm sure they do it on purpose.

Sam Smith No explanation required.

#hashtags and people who write #hashtags when none are required.

TheBookThief · 25/11/2018 23:40

people who insist on giving me unasked for parenting/relationship/work advice because they are blind to the fact that that particular area of their life is a fucking shitstorm.

the word 'hun'

Yankie Candles

The name, the often overpowering smell the jars just everything about them annoys me Blush

Bright lighting in houses

Littering.
Is just makes me rage.
I actually dumped a BF after 6 months because he littered. I just couldn’t abode being in the company of a man who couldn’t find a fucking bin.

After reading this post there are so many things I never knew I also irrationally hated! In fact I think most have already been posted but here are my top ones...

  1. Hashtags - especially #twinning and #soblessed
  1. Faux country gent dressing of little boys (flat cap, tweed jacket)
  1. People who post “well last thing I wanted was to end up in A&E today”. And that is it whilst they wait for the replies to flood in saying “what’s up hun” “sending hugs hope ur/your (never you are or you’re) ok”
  1. People who don’t know the difference between your/you’re and there/their/they’re.

Cinnamon. It makes my teeth itch and is in every bloody desert on sale here (not UK)

BakedBeans47 · 26/11/2018 00:32

People who spend ages faffing around at atms
Porridge
How every second person seems to do parkrun

TheRattleBag · 26/11/2018 00:40

Overuse of the word "flavourful" on cookery shows on TV.
