[Rupertgrintismyguiltypleasure]

Cricket - just

Downton Abbey -

Opera music

Classical music

Bill Bailey..... he’s just not funny

There’s probably more I can’t think of right now, they are the main ones..
What’s yours?

12 year olds hormonal outbursts aimed at me.

Watching any sport unless I personally know a player.

Keeping the house tidy only for to to be back to messy within hours.

Trying to lose weight. My body clings to every gram of fat it can.

The DVLA.

Golf and also F1.

Any song by Coldplay.

When dh is flicking channels and finds a film he likes that has already started but I have never seen before so am left wondering what is happening, my dad also does this so it has been a problem most of my life!

Quite a specific one...marking books at work when the students haven't stuck in the worksheets/homework so I have to spend ages rummaging through their book to find it. I always end up gluing their sheets in for them which I shouldn't do but I can't stand the messy books!

Chippy people, selfish people, people who just want to talk about themselves, Facebook, begrudge. Also, a controversial one, football bores the life out of me.

I meant begrudgers.

Voice notes sent by my friend that are usually between 2.5 and 5 minutes long. I just reply 'can't listen' now. But she then asks me later, so did you listen to what I said? NO.

The masked singer.

Waking early 😭

Having to repeat everything at least twice to my husband in order for him to absorb what I've said. And then having to repeat it again, an hour/ day/ week/ month later, when he says I never told him.

@Lndnmummy

Science fiction, endless "stand ups", people chewing noisly, really strong male perfume, my dh's endless faffing, my dh endless narrating his todo list. It gives me hives. His list is miniscule compared to mine and he goes on and on and on "so i need to finalise the congestion charge payments, oh and I also need to conclude the nectar point registration". And he sends me endless voice notes, they drive me insane. There are hundreds of them"hello, its just me. Just pulling up outside MS, tricky to get parking today". Followed by "hi, i was going to do petrol but then I thought I hetter nip to the dry cleaners and THEN do the petrol". He is kind and loving and brilliant in many ways but oh my lord i need a break.

I feel your pain. My DH does this. He is literally the world's busiest person with his list of jobs that urgently need doing and list of phone calls that need to be done now. And then the worrying in case we run out of washing machine capsules or something as if our house will implode on itself if we don't wash at least 3 loads a day. It's exhausting.

@Ecosralayce

ringing HMRC, trying to get them to sort out my tax code which they messed up back in October. Many phonecalls, several hours on hold and months of frustration later it still isnt sorted and the b**s are still taking too much money off me.

I recently had a similar issue and was dreading contacting them. I called at 8am on the dot and got straight through, causing much flustering on my part.

The man said 8am is always quiet, and if you miss that try bang on 9am as that's when the majority of staff log on.

Jigsaws. I just hate them.

Tories

Specific people in my life who are always late by minimum 1hr and they say "ooh you know what I'm like" - I do feel a need to point out that none of these people have children

Cookery programmes
Small talk
Khalil Gibran
Country & Western music
Eurovision
Hot weather

Watching football, or even worse the waffle ‘analysis’ that they spout out before and after the match!!! Soooo boring and I can’t stand how full of themselves they all are and how seriously they take it… it’s just a game.

Golf.... I love mini golf but I cannot stand normal golf, it’s soo friggin boring zzzzz - Agree

Cricket - just - Agree

Downton Abbey - Love it

Opera music - I like some arias and some operas

Classical music - I enjoy most classical music. Heavy metal though, god no

Bill Bailey..... he’s just not funny - I love bill Bailey. His humour is so dry and so intelligent. He manages to be really funny without having to resort to swearing or smuttiness. And I think that is why his humour is so clever. I saw him live once, and he was brilliant.

@whatsoccuringnow

Tennis Golf People on cocaine

Definitely agree with people on cocaine!

DH talking to me from a different floor of the house despite being asked many times not to.

My FIL calling jigsaws 'puzzles' - it fucking drives me mad.
My OH asking me where something is without even attempting to look for it.

Football - and all the drama that comes with it
Slow drivers
Monologers

Someone telling me their dream. ( Not dream as in a life goal. Their literal dream when they're asleep. Makes me want to cut my own throat.)

Recipes that use cup measurements, so inaccurate and differences between the US and the rest of the world, also cups measure differently for different items… worse still are ones that mix a precise weight then other items in cups… it take no effort to list items using bloody metric weights…..

Recipes that have a huge preamble, introduction to their auntie who once lived in a shoebox and handed the recipe to the local butcher and the recipe gave the dog food poisoning etc etc etc etc, don’t care just give me the recipe. Only exception is recipetineats where she explains precisely the pitfalls of said recipe ( really hard to stuff up her recipes if you can read)

DH when he starts on about Nottingham Forrest … Brian Clough… the glory years… I loathe footie but can tell him every year, they do badly up until Xmas, then they sack the manager, then everyone gets a bit smiley because they win a few, super smiley if they beat ‘ The Sheep’ Derby and they’re not being relegated but not near the top of the league thingy…. Every … bloody… year

When DH watches said Forrest game via a dubious link ( can’t get games down here by any other method ) stuffs up his pc with malware and I get the joy of fixing things….. DH also being Mr Snoozy bunny after a game because he watched it live via a ‘ reliable’ feed at 4 am….. then snores all Sunday afternoon along with boxer dog … synchronised snoring festival on a Sunday … I do make an exception at World Cup times and ‘source’ the games for him ….

Oh and Bill Bailey, another vote for unfunny. Talented musician though

Job hunting!
