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.

A fairly recent one, but people who take their Christmas tree down on Boxing Day. Have a day off.

Oh yes I agree with this! Technically Christmas has only just started...

(Specific call out post) people who don’t like crisps, KNOW they don’t like crisps, and yet each time you open a packet of crisps asks if they can ‘just try one’ because they look so nice and maybe they’ll like crisps this time. Such people will then proceed to take a very large crisp, crunch it with a thoughtful air and declare it’s ‘not very nice’. They walk away. A few days later, you decide it might be nice to have a packet of crisps. You foolishly open it within earshot of such people. They wander over to you, with eyes glinting…. The vicious cycle continues.

It's me! I don't like tea, coffee, milk or water! Trust me I wish I liked water, it's a chore I forget about because it tastes of nothing.

Judgefudgey · 29/12/2024 09:41

Judgey people
I have some relatives who enjoy nitpicking acquaintances and anyone they see on tv / out: ‘why are they wearing/doing that’ etc?
Everyone has their reasons and if it’s not harming anyone/you…. It’s just an ego boost

JohnMcClanesVest · 29/12/2024 09:41

People who claim not to like a whole thing like dogs, Chinese food, film

WinterMorn · 29/12/2024 09:44

People who dress their kids in Juicy Couture. Actually, anyone wearing Juicy Couture full stop. Those little Gucci /Armani man bags worn with socks and sliders. Hood Rich stuff. Huge cartoon onesies. All regularly seem in Magistrates Court.

People who have fake nails and nail art.

I'm one of these people!
I don't like Chinese food, I've tried plenty over the years. I just don't enjoy the flavours.

FoxtonFoxton · 29/12/2024 09:55

I'm a hot drink hater!

I really judge people who don't walk their dogs and people with overweight pets.

Go fund me pages for reasons like 'I'm travelling the world' or 'I didn't buy travel insurance'. Take some responsibility.

Very noticeably crooked teeth in an otherwise groomed and presentable person
