Which inanimate objects do you have an irrational hatred of?

[ThePinkCushion]

It's acoustic guitars for me. If I see someone with one in public you can pretty much guarantee that its owner is going to start playing the bloody thing even though no one asked.

Shower cubicles are another. Why are they so bloody hard to clean? Between the glass and the little crevices. I hate them.

I need time to think of others though I'm sure it's a long list. What objects drive you crazy?

Balloons. Hang about the place for fucking ages getting gradually more flaccid.

Wall stickers, especially love laugh love bullshit.

Glass furniture. Why?! It shows every fingerprint, streak, bit of dust.

Microbladed eyebrows and drawn on eyebrows - they just look utterly fake! I can spot them a mile off, they are so unnatural looking purely for the fact that they are so ‘perfectly groomed’.
Toothpaste boxes - what an atrocious waste of packaging! You take the box off and lob it straight into the recycling bin - it serves literally no useful purpose.

Emails where I'm called 'babe' or 'lovely' or some other pet name. I'm nearly 40 and I'm not your friend.
(Also couples using the pet name 'babe')

Other people's headlights that blind you. Stupid wintertime driving.

My bastarding handbag which hides my car keys from me several times a day.

Women's shoes, especially pumps, that they've bastardised with a dinky little bow. Bows. Bows on knickers and bras. Bows give me the absolute shits.

A lot of these are not irrational.

Misplaced prepositions

See thread title

You did say irrational

Fiat 500s. Fucking hate them. Every time I see one I get the irrational urge to overtake it and cut them up. I had a dream once about rear ending one in a tractor.

No Fiat drivers to date have been harmed.

Baby on board signs are actually there for a very good reason, if you were in an accident it's let's people/responders know that there is someone in the car that cannot get out themselves

I feel the same way about VW Beetles. It's that ghastly tacky flower that really makes my teeth grind. So tacky and twee!

And smart cars too. Insufferably smug little shits.

That's a myth re Baby on Board signs.

Total bollox about the baby on board signs.

Beams on ceilings of old houses give me the creeps and if there are suspended beams, even worse.

Four poster beds with canopies.

Staircases where you can see through gaps.

@Iamthewombat 🙈🙈🙈🙈. So wish I hadn't.

Disappointing isn’t it? (Noddy Holder)

CHAPS my hide? CHAOS my hide? Is one supposed to be more lucid than the other? I can’t understand either. What does it all mean?

Chap as in irritate or rub. Hide as in skin.

So something is pissing you off.

Thanks, was thinking cowhide not human hide!

Those fabric slip on shoes for men, they are vile 🤢🤢

No problem!

Twink

Upside down books on a shelf
Patterned pants under cheapo nearly see thru leggings .
Sporty stripes on otherwise "smart" trousers.
Hair in a bun so far forward its practically sitting on their forehead

You’d love it where I work. We tick all of your boxes. Especially the buns (is it a twenty something thing?)

Massive bows on the heads of newborn babies, particularly when the baby in question is bald so definitely doesn’t need a hair and on her head

Hair and = hairband

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

Those threads are my happy place! I thought I was the only one!!!

Oh, this! Because the baby in question is always sooo ugly but the proud mama wants you to say what a precious little girl.
It's always a girl.

Baby on Board signs. Yuk.

Baby on board signs are actually there for a very good reason, if you were in an accident it's let's people/responders know that there is someone in the car that cannot get out themselves

Ah, right. Paramedics/first responders drag out the driver, cast a quick glance round and say, "No Baby/Princess/Cheeky Monkey/Babe On Board sign. Right. Step away, mates. Nothing to see here". And don't check for eg the unconscious person in the rear seat.

The only use of "Baby on Board" signs is to give the message:
I may be ugly as sin. But somebody had sex with me once - so there!

A relative of mine is a paramedic and HATES these signs. He also says that "Babe on Board" ones inevitably have absolute mingers in then.

But he'd had a bad night.

And, if it was really true. That people search car wrecks in dangerous circumstances for the baby on board...
And the whole thing explodes because some idiot person with whom I worked couldn't be arsed to take the "Grandkiddy on Board" sticker off when it wasn't appropriate.
