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.

Dyson - totally agree.

Marantha - are you me?

In no particular order:

• the labels in baby/child clothes - why are they always so scratchy? Why can't they use a nice soft material? Always have to cut them out or DD ends up with red area on back of neck.
• Chris on BBC breakfast news - so smug and cocky and seemingly everywhere. He was on Strictly Come Dancing (did he win it?) and said "When I'm reading the news at 6 in the morning..." he doesn't read the news - he's a bloody sports commentator!
• People who think it is more important for their smelly dog to stay in the dining room when we're all eating as he's "part of the family" than putting a toddler at ease by moving the bloody dog into the kitchen. Toddler was too nervous too eat as fucking dog kept licking her toes under the table. I put dog in kitchen, much to the annoyance of the entire family (not my family - DH's).

I've got a Dyson...i hate it too. hate the way the stupid extention thing comes out of the top of the handle....and the ball doesn't make any sodding difference, it still doesn't do edges properly.

O no I thought of something really unreasonable that I am unreasonable about:

Cleaners. I have only ever had two that were not completely inadequate. I know how wrong this is. I know I should actually be grateful I can afford for someone to come and clean our house when really we should be doing it ourselves but MY GOD - when I pay you £10 an hour to clean the house, please, JUST CLEAN THE FREAKIN HOUSE. Don't break the hoover, ignore the dust under the sofa, 'forget' to do the cooker, or only clean the bits of floor you think I can see. I CAN SEE ALL OF IT.

Getorf I'll help you kill Mike Dyson. I hate him and his fecking stupid hoovers as well - even though I can't stop buying them (on my third one, you'd think I'd have learnt after the first wouldn't you?)

And what's so great about the HEPA filter which is apparently good for asthmatics (me) when you have to empty all the dust and crap straight into a binbag and it goes everywhere, including on my lungs?

AND, and it shunts along that is bigger than a speck of dust, rather than picking it up. (upright model - spectacularly crap) And the hose doesn't quite reach up the stairs but the machine is too big and heavy to carry up with you.

That Mike Dyson needs a slap. Does anyone have one of his ugly purple washing machines that cost a squillion pounds?

What about his lean mean fat reducing grill? Anyone?

And his garden at Chelsea was the worst I've ever seen.

Mike Dyson is a boxer.

George Foreman does a grill.

He is a boxer

Were those hoovers therefore invented by Muhammed Ali?

I loathe them. Mine fell down the stairs once, i was overjoyed, but it still worked.

I regsue to use it now. i would rather use a sweeping brush (I do, actually). Thank god i don't have any carpet.

James Dyson is the hoover man who must die, Getorf, Mike Dyson is a figment of your imagination. Mike Tyson on the other hand is a boxer/rapist/loon.

And yes, George Foreman did the grill. Although he is also a loon as I believe he has called several of his children George.

oh yeah

I don't know, GetOrfMoiLand, are you bitter and twisted, too?

Perhaps I am unreasonably unreasonable because the highlight of My 'special' day was telling the chip -shop owner that I'd just gotten married and by way of congratulations we received a portion of fish 'n' chips (each!!).

George foreman called all five of his sons George.

but then again Jermaine Jackson called his son Jermajesty.

i inherited a Dyson vacuum and a i agree that they are total shit.

it goes along fine for a while, then i stop it and a massive loads of dusty stuff falls out of the bottom! wasn't the sucky thing supposed to be picking it up? no, it was the roller, just spinning it round.
(i know it works because big things appear in the see-through bit)

Dyson hand driers are pretty cool thoug - drying hands at 4G

and i think he's called James.

all labels in clothes - not just baby ones - i spend hours and hours scratching my neck when i've got labels in my clothes.
ow :(

Oh yes i am bitter and twisted. And I would be chuffed to bits with free chips on my wedding day

Really love the name Jermajesty. I am reading that godforsaken shitty 4th twilight book and one of the characters in it is a baby which was named after the 2 mothes: Renée and Esme. They called the baby Renesmee.

I would like to see what MN would have made of THAT!

Perhaps they are all really the same person?

Love the cake in the shape of husband's organ.

I get unreasonably riled at my mum knocking at the front door, getting no answer, and then letting herself in with her key. To bring me some homemade soup or something, so it's terribly churlish of me, but I might be having a shag on the couch, ok?

I especially like the fact that she coated his pipe in glitter, BoF - now that is true love!

I am unreasonably riled that the chances of me having a shag on the couch are pretty low...

I'll take the soup...

Renesmee? How to ruin two perfectly lovely names in one fell swoop.

I am unreasonably riled that the chances of me having a shag FULL STOP are pretty low

I've got an unexplainable aversion to Stuart Broad - really not sure why but I can't bear him.

Also spelling Christmas 'xmas' - eugh even writing it then made me shudder.

My mum is the same about not using 'she' 'her' etc as she finds it offensive.

If me, my mum and my sister are in the house and my sister leaves the room and I say 'does she like these biscuits?' my mum will say ' who is she the cats mother?'
