Perfectly reasonable things which you unreasonably unreasonable about

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Names with umlauts in them, unless you live in Germany or nordic lands. I don't mind accents in names, or that funny dot above the i in Irish names, but names with umlauts in get on my tits. Especially Zoë. Everyone can pronounce it when it is spelled Zoe. It is just attention seeking.

Just to get the thread back on track:

Loo roll hung so that the loose end faces the wall. I have to turn them round.

People who pronounce "tissue" as "tis-syew" rather than "tishoo". And "exit" should be "ecksit" not "eggsit". Grrr.

Menus with too many adjectives.

People walking two or three abreast and blocking the pavement.

Tourists.

(there are so many more but I'm limiting myself to 5...)

Nickelbabe - why? Why the organ?

I've looked at your profile to see if you are a church organist and there is no evidence to suggest you are, and you seem to have got married in a mass Moonie ceremony.

Ah, should have known better than to post in AIBU even if it is a joke thread! Just because I find something irritating means I want someone to die of course.

fellatio I am not a church organist, and I didn't get married in a mass moonie ceremony
My DH is a church organist, though, and I am a keen chorister.

(and the organ is actually a perfect replica of our real organ - but it didn't play!)

just realised i made the sam comment on playing the organ in my profile.
i have no imgaination

can't type.
but i've updated my profile....

here is a picture of my DH playing the organ at our wedding (not all the way through, just before the service and as I walked down the aisle)

sorry for going OT.

On the subject of loo roll, what about the ones in public loos that are designed so you can only pull off a couple of sheets at a time?! Argh!!

Agreed AGNG! and the ones which shred the loo roll as you pull it out.

I love that cake - what are the organ pipes made out of? It looks like polished asparagus.

That is really clever - I envy people who can make cakes. I am useless at baking and have no artistic sense whatsoever.

Yes you have the getorf wedding cake seal of approval.

Lovely wedding dress as well btw.

Fellation I just pissed myself at the moonie wedding comment you daft bat, it was a dance troop

the pipes are made out of painted icing, with edible glitter on them.

ohhh, she meant the bellydancers!

re the dance troop.

Bless her thinking they were all brides.

WHY would I assume that those pipes were made of asparagus for crying out loud? Bloody good job I don't make cakes isn't it if I think it is NORMAL to put random vegetables on a wedding cake. Am and cannot actually believe I asked you that and at self.

Lol I am like fellation's mum opining abouit Aristotle. Bloody hell i know fark all about cakes so say 'ooh is that polished asparagus then?' in manner of complete loon.

People who are obsessive about recycling.

for god's sake the world isn't going to end because you accidentally put your newspaper in the wrong bin....most of it still ends up on landfill anyway

OOh yes.

People who wash their recycling. I am not rinsing out pop bottles. I used to, then noticed that DP and DD didn't bother, and the recycling men took them anyway.

And i am not recycling food - having a caddy of rotting food in my kitchen, then ecanting said stinking food into outside pig bin, which I then have to wash, all the shile gagging at the mouldy festering bit of lasagne which is stuck to the bottom. Screw that.

well if you can have carrot cake...

I am so unreasonable that I think all the things I am unreasonable about are perfectly reasonable to be unreasonable about! Top hate of the moment:

women who are judgmental and unsisterly about child birth - do. not. judge. your. fellow. mother. for. her. elective. cesarean. she. had. her. reasons.

People on ice rinks who intimidate new/less advanced skaters by whizzing round, cutting in front of them and doing jumps/spins anywhere other than the middle of the rink on public sessions.

People on said rinks who cut me up when I'm pushing my mate's wheelchair round- it does NOT do emergency stops on ice!

Ditto people who stop at the bottom of hills at Alton Towers to gawp at me struggling to control the chair down the very steep hill!

People who say I'm not doing a proper degree when I tell them I'm studying film production

My granddad leaving plates right on the edge of the worktop where they could be knocked off.

People who leave luggage in the wheelchair space on trains despite it being written EVERYWHERE that it's a wheelchair space and there's more luggage space down the other end!

People who look at me like I've got 2 heads when I tell them I can't drive (eyesight is too bad) and go on about how they'd never cope without their car.

Hand dryers that don't actually dry anything just waft out a little bit of lukewarm air and stop every time you move your hands, usually while some old biddy pushes up behind you shaking her wet hands and wanting you out of the way.

Oooohhhhh and people who shove their hands under the dryer above yours! Annoying enough if it's your child or your mum but a complete stranger! What the ...?!

Dysons.

I have one. I refuse to use it, the stupid attention seeking primary coloured bastard. And it weighs more than my car. And you get covered in shitty dust every time you empty it. What is wrong with bags for your hoover (yes HOOVER). Mike Dyson or whatever your name is, i will hunt you down.

people who continue to use the baby word for things when the child is old enough to use the real worg

eg pandy = hand

bikit = biscuit

army = arm

Brownie - my daughter is 14 and we both still call crisps cibbys, which is how she pronounced it when she was young.

Oh dear I have now admitted to using baby language to a teenager, and that my toddler knew what crisps were . I will have to leave MN.

Weddings. Not all weddings just the big, traditional weddings (which, incidentally, are perfectly fine for two youngsters who haven't shacked up/mated already) where the bride and groom have lived together for eons and usually already have kids.

Yet we're not supposed to feel just a tad cynical when she appears in off-white cream satin dress that looks fine on the young Princess Di on her wedding day but not someone nearing 40.

We're not supposed to feel it to be ever-so-slightly ridiculous that such a big deal is made of their wedding night. What a joke. They've slept together for the past 8 years for god's sake.

And as for the 'happiest day of our lives' shite, the thought that goes through my mind is: 'So the past 8 years and birth of your children meant NOTHING compared to this one day of extravagance and stupid dresses?'

Why don't they just pop down register office in a nice (non-wedding) dress/suit with a couple of witnesses and go for a nice meal afterwards?
They're kidding no-one. Least of all a sucker like me who had 2 spend an 8-hour round trip and oodles of cash for the 'privilege' of seeing them have their 'special day'.

sorry meant real word

GOML I have said almost exactly the same thing about dysons
If the bagless ones had come first then the person who invented bagged cleaners would be seen as a genius with people whispering "Look, all the dust goes in this little bag and then you just unclip it and put in a new one"
