Pet peeves that others may find odd.

[ThishittyLimeCat]

I have so many that I think I should be on an island on my own.

1. People on Tipping Point who don't say please.
2. Describing someone eating as she polished off/ he demolished/devoured...
3. Hun overload, you ok Hun, thanks Hun...
4. Ordering food and drink. Can I get? Probably not from there 😫.
5. People who have to compete with your illness. I had glandular fever I was so ill. Well I had glandular fever twice and I nearly died.
6. Two words I want to kill people when I hear them, one starts with t and means dehydration. But they don't just say it once, they keep saying it without getting a drink.

The second means dinner but used by posh people and elderly, starts with a s.

Agree with you on the S word. Loathe it.
Also despise the word "soup".

Very Unique.

It's either unique of it isn't.

“You smashed it”, “you crushed it” etc.

“See you later” - said by shop assistants at the end of a transaction. Err, I have no plans to see you later, or are you stalking me?

Overuse of word “amazing”. Drives me insane.

“Sorry you have had to look at <some incredibly minor thing temporarily on neighbour’s property>” former neighbour used to say this if they took more than a nanosecond to bring their empty bin back in or if they had something like a delivery of turf left on their drive. Absolutely ridiculous! And did tbey really think I spent my days looking out of the window?!

Every hotel my aunt has ever stayed in is “fabulous”. And if you ask my uncle who went on the same holiday what the hotel was like he says “it was nice but…” and then names a door that won’t shut or faulty aircon or low water pressure because he is a Professional Complainer.

Agree about ‘s**r’.

And ‘very unique.’

Weird my asterisks came out wrong.

Supper.

With you on all, but especially number 5. My Dad died unexpectedly of Sepsis (contracted in hospital). I get asked what he died of, I say Sepsis and get an interjection of, 'oh well that's really hard to diagnose' (from someone who 15 years ago used to transcribe doctors notes on to a computer, so fully trained in medicine etc.). My DDog died, 2 weeks afterwards said same person says 'I'm surprised you haven't got another dog yet'.

What is the t word for dehydration?

Using the word shit for stuff..
I've got to tidy my shit away.
Asking someone to pick their shit up.

Lush
Awesome
Wow

My male friend always makes a (jokey) fuss when I go to a cafe with him and say 'please can I get..'

He starts saying 'you're not an American!' I just apologise to the waiter for him being a twat!

e-mails that are titled 'exciting news' that then tell you you can get free delivery, or an hour free parking, or something equally very unexciting.

also - something being 'a game changer' - it very rarely is

Cooking a roast ‘with all the trimmings’. There’s something so wanky and smug about it.

I hate hun and I hate Can I get....? even more.
The thing I hate most of all is awww bless. It's so patronising.

The word 'wellness' and the whole industry it has spawned.

Clapping. Not clapping for people winning a race or at a ceremony... but clapping themselves, or a plane landing, or at good news...

”Obsessed”. Just no.

Like,like ,like,like×20
No I don't like!

I HATE awwwww bless ... It nearly always comes from people 25-30+ years younger than me (I am nearly 60) and I find it so patronising. I do know they don't mean anything by it though, and are often just being nice, so I don't act arsey about it, and smile sweetly like the gentle little old lady I am. 👵

DH has a particular trait that I LOATHE.

eg, we are out in town at around 1.30pm, and he says 'Oooooh, my right shoulder is killing me, I'm in agony!' Then he rubs and pinches it and winces in 'pain.' I say 'I have some Cocodomol and Naproxen here,' and reach to get it out of my bag, and grab a bottle of water and a breakfast biscuit, and he says 'er no it's all right, I'll have some with dinner later.' (Dinner is 5 hours away!)

It baffles me EVERY time. He is in soooooooooooooooo much PAIN 😖and such utter agony😫yet he refuses the offer of painkillers, and chooses to wait 5 hours for them. I say 'what, why?!' He says 'I prefer to power through the pain.' What the fuck does that even mean? He prefers to power though the pain, but still keeps banging on about it, and refuses the painkillers...'

Slap up meal, visions of a plate piled with food and a greedy, fat diner!

I'm with you there.
Perfectly normal to say "Can I get?" here.

Yeah I know it's not twattish. I was calling him a twat. 🤣 I'm from an Irish/Scottish background.

Just read online about an overweight lady who said she had fat modules!

Sounds like something you'd get in college.
