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?

Hose reels, no matter how much you pay for them they always get jammed.

Vape things.

Penis extensions with blokes driving them like knobs with their dyed hair and bald patches on top.

Toothbrush packaging

Have to try and break it in half somehow and lever out the toothbrush. There must be a better wsy

Coat hangers - always get tangled together, completely do my head in.

The words ‘nom nom‘.

Makes me seethe

FUcking colanders and whisks! Never get the bastards clean without a fight

Fly swatters.

Irritating, pointless, smug pieces of landfill.

MiL has bought us about 5 over the years. I never use them, prefer to leave the windows open til the fly finds it's way out. DH will obsessively follow flies all round the house with it... SOO much more annoying than an actual fly. And then if the children find one lying around they use it to fight with.

I've taken to hiding them.

Sorry off topic there. Objects I can’t abide are:

Noisy motorbikes which make me jump out of my skin as they roar past

Tea bags. Hate tea. Hate squashed used tea bags left hither and thither.

Tetrapak juice plastic spouts. The foil underneath never rips properly when you open it and it causes the juice to sort of glop-glop out in uneven splodges so you invariably spill some.

The male of the species will then just walk away but the female will find a cloth and mop it up.

Henry Hoover. Stop. Fucking. Falling. Over.

Placemats. Completely irrational, but you did ask...

Metal coat hangers, and their evil brethren paper clips. Work of the devil.

DH's fucking massive shoes that trip me up when left lying about.

I love my Mary Jane shoes though - I have particularly narrow heels, so anything slip-on fall off. The man in Timpsons told my mum I had an "expensive foot" back in the day when they had shoe shops.

@LaMarschallin

I was at my cousin's last weekend and she asked me to put hers in my handbag as she didn't have a bag. I nearly threw up (she saw my face and didn't insist, I offered to carry her purse instead).

When I got back I was telling my bf and he asked me what type they were. I said I can't talk about it, it makes me feel ill. (I didn't look at them so I don't know what type!)

My nightmares are about people trying to force me to smoke. And, yes, ashtrays are vile things. I can't even cope with clean ones!

Leggings...puke!

Raw dough

Anything on the draining board that either
a) won't balance when I try to put it on there because it's full already
b) randomly falls over when I'm not expecting it and makes me jump

Microfibre cloths. I buy some every now and then I'm an attempt to use less/fewer (grammar wizards can tell me which, I don't know anymore) cleaning products. Then I get them out of the packet and shudder when I touch them. They're all.... filmy.

Dummies, esp on a string clipped to the child's clothes.

Alfa Romeo cars - why is the number plate over to one side, not in the middle?? Gives me the (irrational) rage!

^Can't edit my post above so am going to add
The stupid modifications to cars and bikes that makes them as loud as aircraft. (Although technically this is done for twatty people, and isn't quite an inanimate object)

The coathangers in my DC's wardrobe - either everything falls off them, or they all get tangled up together. Bastards.

Spoilers.

Or Billy Bolt ons A’s I like to call them.

as

Nom nom @Soola haha i get you..its cringe af!

I do, however, like Mary Jane shoes! (As I have narrow feet & normal slip on shoes don’t stay on my feet)

My washing machine, because it lies to me. The display innocently shows 35 minutes for the fast cycle.

The fucker is still spinning 50 minutes later
