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?

M&S and their current Must Have campaign.

Jess Glynne. 

When people refer to Yorkshire puddings as yorkies... sets me right off I dont like it and I dont know why.

Wire coat hangers
Dummies on kids that really aren't babies ie 3 years old!
Egg Custards
Facebook fitness posts of how far someone has run etc
Cake smashes
When the word their/they're/there etc is used incorrectly
People who reply to a question with "So...."
People in towns with clipboards aka "chuggers"
Holly Willoughby
Hairs in my bathwater

My Henry Hoover I HATE IT

Earlier this year I broke my toe proving how much I hate it.

I would never recommend anyone having one. You have to wind the cord in and out manually, You have to direct it around corners and such by picking it up you can't just pull it and it follows you its gets stuck on furniture corners doors etc etc. There is absolutely no manoeuvrability to the damn thing. Its heavy and awkward, It won't go in the cupboard without a fight ..... and so it goes on I really hate it with an unreasonably amount of annoyance!

So many things....

• "bang on trend". I read a home style magazine and I cringe every time I read that phrase.
• food not served on plates - ordered a hot wrap and salad on Saturday and it came on a slate. Coleslaw was hanging off the edge.
• people selling raffle tickets "oh it's just 50p a strip" and then when I get one they expect you to get 5 for two quid.
• that nursing home smell of pee and mashed potatoes.
• the random autocorrect choices my phone makes. I hate going back and having to put an apostrophe in "its".
• parents and pil expecting me to do Christmas shopping for my children for them. They are 7 and 8, just talk to them.
• so many more things but don't want to set myself up to be negative too early!

German words for enjoying food. "Lecker"- tasty. "Gönnen Sie ein..." means "treat yourself to a...". I don't much like the English equivalents either but the German ones set my teeth right on edge.

People who drive while wearing hats. It's usually an indication of shitty driving
I thought I was the only person who noticed that! At the one end you've got the boy racers in baseball caps, at the other the older chaps who check the oil levels before every trip out to the shops and who never really properly learned how to use gears because they started driving before the test came in.

School dinners (in my day they were all brown and smelled terrible).

This thread is making me smile 😂

I hate people who get on the bus and either don't know where they are going, or don't have the right money, so it holds the bus up.

People who sit next to you on the bus and expect to have a mundane conversation about the weather with you. I just want to read my book, fuck off.

People who treat their dogs like children, and let them bark "oh, hes only talking"

My dc acting like I've cut their limbs off when I say enough screen time.

People in my office who use terminology like "touch base" and "feedback"

Shop assistants who just chat to each other and don't even look at you.

People who play loud music and inflict it on others, why do you think anyone else wants to listen to that shit?

I get worse as I get older.. 😁

@ProudAunty2nine I hate my Henry vacuum for all the same reasons. Plus the metal part of the house keeps coming apart. Very fed but of having to pick it up and reattach it multiple times during vacuuming.

Alot of things my 13yr old says these days. I feel very nasty saying it but alot of her stories have no point or make no sence as I wasn't there.

Children using Americanism's like trash, candy, diaper and pacifier.

People who touch me while talking and hugs/kisses as greetings. I really don't like being touched. How I have 3 children is beyond me as physical contact makes me feel sick.

People taking a mouthful of drink when they already have a mouthful of food - the thought of it all mingling makes me feel ill

Couples who pet each other. My lodgers stroke each others' heads while watching TV - fucking bizarre.
Jess Glynn. Someone once described her as a 'flat sheep' and now I can't ignore the bleating.
Work colleagues who hilariously talk about sexually risqué things as 'banter' to appear edgy. Last week it was labia shaving. I work in a school.
All parents at festivals. So smug.
Marie-Ann Hobbs - she laughs as punctuation. There's no joke, Marie-Ann, just play the music.
Cashiers who continue their forced conversations with customers after they've paid and are now just chatting about fucking party food while the queue watches their fantastic chemistry.

Cars letting people in when I've been stuck for 10 mins already and they've just rolled up and jumped right in.
The race to prove you know how to use a card by putting in your pin number before they say 'Just pop your number in'.

The word 'pop'.
Flip flops at any time apart from the week of tarmac melting heat.

People

Weather presenters telling us there'll be "a touch of frost". They're all guilty of this. They never use an alternative like:

...layer of frost...
... covering of frost...
... smattering of frost...
...some frost... Or even just:
... there'll be frost...

It's always "a touch of frost".

Life in general (actually, not ALL of life. I’m not that sodding miserable!)

People like me who think they are funny with their odd remarks on threads like this...

Poor uses of spelling and grammar.

Intolerance of others’ disabilities and shortcomings.

Lack of compassion for others.

I’m sure more will come to mind in a bit.

I’m looking at my list and thinking that some of it isn’t that irrational (misses point of thread). I’m too tired at the moment to care though...

Argos. I hate the website, it's full of things which don't appear to be in stock. Searching for anything is a pain keywords don't bring up all the relevant items.
In store is just as bad, hate the reverse shopping experience, hate the catalogue ninjas who flip them closed the second you step away from them, hate the depressing chairs you sit on staring at your item on the shelf while the grumpy staff shuffle around ignoring it, hate the fact the screen with your number is useless.
Most of all I hate it's one of the only shops in my town that sell stuff I might need, I don't want to shop at Argos but I do want to buy things from physical shops in my town.

Hospital parking
Tom Hardy
Cheerful up-sells on menus 'why no add fries for £1.50?'

The word satsuma, don't know why but it makes me cringe even though I like the taste of them...

Pudsey Bear for me too. I hate him

Unnecessary terms of endearment. I recently went to Specsavers and was called guys (DH was with me) followed by darling, my love and (cringe cringe) sweetheart. Believe me I am not going back.
'Bless you' and worse, when saying goodbye 'blessings'. Ugh.
Glad I am not alone in preferring not to listen to Cliff Richard. And we muted Rod Stewart on Strictly.
I agree about people who touch each other too much. We have a couple like that at church. She continually strokes his neck and shoulders. Mention the touchy feely couple and everyone knows who you mean even if they don't know their names.

People who say 'I was sat/I'm sat' instead of 'I was sitting/I am sitting.'
If someone else actually picked you up and plonked you in your seat, I would agree, but no doubt you simply placed your own backside there?

Bright lighting in houses

It enrages me

Whereas I hate dim lighting I hate lamps. Find them really prissy.
