People who don't like any hot drinks. A hot drink for me is the ultimate comfort. Someone told me they don't like them because they don't want to have to wait for their drink to cool down if they let thirsty. Who drinks a hot drink due to thirst?!

People who say they don't like water. How? You need water to survive. Not liking water is like not liking oxygen. And when you're dehydrated there's nothing like water.

Personalised number plates. What a waste of money and why would you want to be recognisable when driving.

People who refer to themselves as empaths.

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 29/12/2024 20:42

People who arrange the food at the table in restaurants when it arrives purely for the 'insta' pics, like some contrived M&S advert (whilst it gets cold!)

@Staywithmemyblood I've seen several Stanley cups in charity shops ( I gave the one I received to charity shop before Xmas unused hoping some would get it for Xmas) they are really cumbersome and annoying (imo)

I agree @Hskatkat but that’s a good idea for my DD to try and find one in a charity shop. Santa refused to shell out for a full price one!

Well I’m in Ireland and it’s not so common. My sil’s all say this though as they would like to be of a certain class. They are in their 50’s and just sound needy and pathetic.

I take it you don’t get along?😂in Belfast it’s mummy

Hskatkat · 29/12/2024 22:09

I judge the absolute weirdos on here that follow you on different threads because you disagreed with them once 😂 trying to make snarky comments.
Or the ones who @ you hours/days later with their "witty" come back.

Oh no someone I don't know and will more than likely never met disagreed with me.....I must seek vengeance

People who drive like dicks then start threads seeking absolution from other dickish drivers
People who park on pavements
People who don't like dogs or horses
People who overreact to the presence of a wasp
People (with the possible exception of Santa) who schedule meetings for 3pm on Christmas Eve
People who put milk in coffee

FizzyBisto · 29/12/2024 22:50

People who put milk in coffee

Eh? Isn't that very much the norm for most coffee drinkers? Or do you mean that they should put milk in the cup first and then add the coffee?!

Range rovers (or any big car tbh, especially when there’s just a single person in it and no big dogs/sports equipment warranting such a large vehicle)
leaving the tea spoon in a cup of coffee
ugg boots
people who make a huge deal about not liking sprouts/mince pies/turkey etc (just don’t have it then but please shut up)

when people don't say /to/ so it's "i'm going tesco". makes me EURGH

A friend of mine says “I need to go toilet” 🤮🤮🤮 I want to tell her off like a naughty child.

That sounds like she is just going to wet her knickers where she is !

CeceliaImrie · 29/12/2024 22:59

I just got to dustpan and brush eyelashes as well 🤣😂🤣

I’d never heard of a Stanley cup before this thread. It sounds like a minor tournament on the pro golf circuit.

One that springs to mind for me and it's just a small, very specific thing, is when people say 'going to get food/going out for food' etc when referring to going out for a meal. It just sounds like you're a farm animal at feeding time to me, I don't know why! Much prefer to say e.g. go out for lunch.

I've only encountered this since I moved to Wales.

How did you miss Stanley cups?! They were everywhere I don't use social media and still ended up with a massive cup! (Present)
I prefer my chillys sports cap, rcup or my teapigs bottle depending on situation .

Luck, by the sounds of it!

People calling their children baby when they are older than 5. Example in a shop. A mum shouts to their 7 year old, come on baby! Get a grip.
Or someone I know on fb. It’s my baby girls 21 birthday! No she’s a grown women

Hah this is me. I can't help it, I called my youngest Baby for too long when he was an actual baby that now its stuck more than his actual name so I still call him Baby more than I call him by his name at 6. His big sister only ever calls him Baby, she has said she'll still call him Baby even if he's President one day.
Its definitely capitalised though, he's not baby, he's Baby.

People who overreact to the presence of a wasp

God I hate this, my bloke completely overreacts to wasps which undermines me trying to teach the children to calmly ignore them, because overreacting just makes the wasps mad. But he's scared of them so he can't help it so I just have to hate it quietly.

Savvysav82 · 30/12/2024 06:20

People who say "I'm so ocd" seriously educate yourself.

sashh · 30/12/2024 06:23

This is very specific.

People who write / produce / act in things with great big errors.

I don't mean a zip in a dress set in 1914, it will make me snort but not totally ruin the show.

BIG errors. When I last visited my dad he was watching a Touch of Frost. There had been a murder with a note found at the scene that they thought was Chinese. So far, OK.

Then, THEN, and sorry my heckles are currently on the ceiling they discover it is Vietnamese.

No one, even a semi literate recluse would confuse the two.

Vietnamese is written using the Roman alphabet.

Easy example the word 'bread' or 'baguette' is bánh mì in Vietnamese and 面包 in Chinese.

i have looked up stanley cup
and that would fall over if i owned it

People who have no concept of regional variation in language, and assume only they are correct, and others couldn't possibly also be correct.
