(lighthearted) petty things that make you judge a person

[witchycat2]

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.

I would have said the same about Stanley cups, until someone bought me one. As a breastfeeding Mum it serves me very well!

Thank you.

Sorry I was stabbing the key board, I should have proof read.

People who walk diagonally across a pedestrian crossing and so get tangled up with the folk who are going straight across. Doubly annoying when they're “armed” with a pram or a child on a scooter as often seems to be the case.

People who refuse an offered edible treat by saying "No, I don’t need it".

People who conflate England and the UK

People who think the UK left the European continent when they left the EU.

Yes! Yes! Drives me mad!

That’s just a regional thing. I was brought up to use "dinner" for the midday meal (as in "dinner ladies" at school), "tea" for a quick bread-and-butter snack about 4pm when I got home from school, and "supper" for our evening meal at 7:30pm (regardless of the number of courses). We didn’t eat any more after that.

What is?

Such as lack of punctuation and capital letters, perhaps? 😉

(I very nearly let that post with a typo, making me look even more of a twat!😂 And hypocrite!)

Is his name Neil, by any chance?

I've got to be honest, I know several languages and am familiar with several more; but I wouldn't personally know what alphabet Vietnamese uses. It's not a country I've ever been to, nor had any connection with; neither is it one of the most prominent 'leading' countries or languages on the world stage.

Where do you draw the line though? Another example is Russian which is spoken by probably several hundred million people, but often in films and shows someone literally speaks one Russian word per 10 or 15 of gibberish with the subtitle "speaks in Russian." Personally I don't care that much about these things as long as the film/show is good overall.

People who fast for non-surgical and non-religious reasons.

People who don't read books or listen to music.
People who say "brought" instead of "bought".
An intolerance to Christmas. I'm not bothered at all if they don't celebrate it, I just hate the whinging. Same with Halloween, etc. Same thing every year and it's a snooze-fest; especially when they don't know their history.
People who don't like cheese! Cheese fiend here and it baffles me. 😂

However, I'm deathly scared of wasps and will flail and scream if I see one, so I'm likely very annoying in my own way. 😁

You get annoyed because people choose not to eat at certain times??

People who not only have artificial grass, but don’t clean up their pet’s shit off it.
Personalised number plates
‘Less’ and ‘fewer’ mix-ups.
Make-up that is totally the wrong shade and doesn’t at all match the natural skin colour - it just looks odd and distracting. Maybe it’s a fashion statement?
Treating kindness as though it’s a weakness.
Adults who can’t drive but also need lifts all the time.
The word ‘staycation’ when they mean ‘holidaying in the UK’

Because quite frankly Christmas is shoved in your faces from August... I could give a billion other reasons too.

Meh, Easter is the same and it never bothered me tbh. It's the complaining and the "I don't understand why people like it" that I think is daft. I don't believe for a second people don't get why people like it, and a lot of the complaints come across as just pissing on people's chips. Each to their own, but it isn't going away so I don't see the point in the constant complaints. 🤷‍♀️ It's only a few days. But each to their own! 🎄🎅

Just looked up Stanley cups as I was unsure what they were. I can confirm that I have colleagues that use them as a team thing (as in one member of the team bought one for all the other members in their preferred colour). They’re really expensive though - what’s the attraction?

I find it annoying when people make a big thing of it and it's oh look at me "I'm not eating for 3 days and giving the money I save to support, preservation society of bagpipe playing" Then you see them later scoffing something like they haven't eaten for days on end.

Only a few days. It lasts for months. What planet do you live on for Christmas to be 'only a few days?'

Blimey, don't need to get so irate - it's a lighthearted thread.

In my house, Christmas begins in December. I don't buy all kinds of stuff in the run-up, nor do I watch much telly. I don't buy things or even really look at things until I start Christmas, nor do I burden myself with all of the chaos alone. It's not that difficult!

I suppose if you're letting yourself get worked up about it from August, it might be stressful for you!

People who take their dogs on walks next to roads with those long leads! Twice Iv nearly ran over a dog due to the dog running onto the road!! Luckily I was on the ball and saw the dogs coming. Not even a sorry or acknowledgment by the owners.

People who say they hate onion. I mean,what savoury dish isn't improved by adding onion?!
