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?

Dummies hate seeing them especially in children walking around trying to speak, also the name of them ‘Dummy’ what picture does it conjure up?

Sandpaper I can’t even bear to touch it

Velvet. I’m cringing now just thinking of the stuff.

Those dusty chalkboard eraser things. It’s the sound they make as you wipe the chalk off.

Drawing pins. Evil bastards they are.

Packaging which "talks" to you. "Keep me in the fridge (I don't like the top shelf) and say hello to me when I spice up your breakfast. I'm tasty, healthy and ready to pour."

Wardrobes; I’ve purposely destroyed three, accidentally destroyed one and put a hole in another.

Welcome mats/runners

STAY STILL FFS

Cat flaps, or my dad's cat flap. It's supposed to stop the cat from waking everyone up demanding to go out, yet it opens and shuts with a thunderous boom.

Petrol pumps - you never know if you're going to get a good quick one or be stuck there for ages with a slow drippy one.

Crocs and cargo shorts with too many pockets, on men that should know better
Long acrylic nails..my friend does nails and tells me about all the stuff she scrapes out of peoples nails.

Cardboard, the rough brown kind, makes me want to vomit, it's a texture thing. I have to break down a lot of cardboard at work for recycle, thankfully it's usually the smooth white kind. When I get the brown kind I have been known to hide it or leave it for someone else too embarrassed to admit why

Plugs with little lights on. Why?! I don’t want little blue lights lighting up my bedroom all night just because something is plugged in. Who the chuff thought this was a good idea?

Those round ear stretcher things, as I worked with a guy that used to remove his and pick the skin off them (mind you, that's not an irrational hatred , is it?)

I can't stand ashtrays or cigarettes either or cigarette ash. I can't sit at a pub table with an ashtray there. DP knows to automatically remove any ashtrays and hide them on another table away from my line of sight.

Also washing up gloves, can't stand them, give me the creeps.

Also those big earrings that make great big holes in your lobe. They make me feel sick. If I am talking to someone with them in I have to purposely focus my gaze so I can't see them.

TETRAPAKS. you can never get the last bit out and it really chaos my hide.

Also banjos. Urrrrrgh so twangy

Toasters. Because sometimes they have mice in.

Rough cloth like Harris tweed. I don't know how people can bear to wear it.

Wall 'art' from Next

Slogan t-shirts, I've not seen a single one that doesn't make me cringe.

Palm trees, or more specifically palm trees in Scotland. There seems to have been a fad for planting them, they look stupid then invariably die after a year or two.

I love my Mary Jane shoes. I've got foot probs due to diabetes and they are the comfiest shoes ever, I'm past caring about fashion.

Rose gold jewelry

Very long fingernails

Jumpsuits on anyone over 2

Bongo's, bloody hate them - and you know some tosspot will put them between their legs and start playing them, all fucking night

Egg shell.

Mittens....gloves are fine, mittens are the work of the devil. They actually make me cringe. Don’t even get me started on mittens which are attached by a string. I’m sure I must have had a childhood mitten trauma which I have subsequently forgotten about 😂😂

Irons with a flex that's just that little bit too short.

DH's shoes (that he takes off and leaves in the middle of the living room floor instead of putting them away).

My bastard of a central heating boiler.

Those Dyson hand dryers that are supposed to dry your hands in 10 seconds. They bloody don't and the slot is too narrow for you to rub your hands together or to wiggle your rings about to dry underneath them. And they make a horrible noise.

Washing machines that use hardly any water and work on the thwacking your clothes against a rock principle. Give me loads of hot bubbly water sloshing about any day.

Erm... how long have you got? I could go on all night

it really chaos my hide.

Absolutely NO idea what this means.
But I like it a lot and am going to use it all the time.
eg:
"You. Hard-boiled egg. With the shell that will only come off in a trillion tiny bits.
Well!
Consider my hide CHAOSED!!!"

Hah. Learned the bastard.

@Bertrand

Henry Hoover. Stop. Fucking. Falling. Over

Oh my god. Fucking bastard of a hoover.

It is so good though, excellent vacuum abilities. Twat to negotiate through doorways and around corners.

The smug cunt smiles at you as he topples over too.

Printers. Utter bastards.

Duvet covers that let the duvet move about inside, so you end up with a great flap of nothing over your shoulder.
