Perfectly reasonable things which you unreasonably unreasonable about

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.

Overuse and inappropriate use of the word 'like' at
least 20 times in every sentence. Yes DD I'm like looking at you

Oooohh the word Just. As in "I just make sure my children never eat sugar", "Just peel the prawns", "I just make home made Christmas cards".... "I just climb Everest..."

a pedantic one here too - when the word 'to' is missed out of sentences - mostly adverts admittedly.

"Helps make hair shiny"
"Contributes useless enzymes"

etc.

Teenage boys with their trousers round their knees. You look bloody ridiculous all of you. One day I shall witness them fall down and will piss myself laughing. How do they not fall down anyway? The belt must be done up so tight that it is cutting off your circulation or is it that odd swaggery shuffle that creates some sort of centrifugal force?

And your hair looks shit too.

Women in really tight gym kit and full make up at drop off who then hang around chatting.

If you had time to chat you had time to wear something less chuff exposing and go home and change

We have two of those at our school Pag - the thing is I'm sure they then go to the gym together!

When people say "These ones" and Those ones" You only need to say These or Those, the ones is totally obsolete and really really annoying

my MIL took my 3 kids to the cinema and sat down in the wrong seat. She knew she was in the wrong seat. But she wouldn't budge. Just because shes 70 and doesn't have to.

LOVE my dishwasher am 40 and got one for the first time 2 months ago. Will not hear a bad word against it.

Hate self-service checkouts no matter how few items you have things go wrong. Bought a greeting card and it yelled at me to put it on the scales, like I was a thieving cow, I ended up yelling back at it that it was there.

ditto sat navs

Fellatio - you only think they are going to the gym. The may be lycra fetishistssststs

or however you would say that.

Liv77 yes. And salespeople people who say 'yourself' all the time when they talk to you on the phone.
'can I speak to the home owner, would that be yourself. oh good, is double galzing something you would be interested in yourself - and do you like wood or plastic shite yourself'

shite yourself ?

bitoffun lol at your comment

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

I mean if I hadn't seen the cake before your post then I might have been a bit disappointed.

I am monumentally slightly perturbed by ship assistants and waitresses who call me Sweetheart, and they are baout ten years younger than me.

The phrase should be reserved for the under 8s and the over 80s.

Actually, I'll say it before anyone else does - the over 80's probably don't want to be patronised either.

They pronounce it sweedart, that really makes me want to punch.

I meant shop assistants obviously. I've nver been on a ship. I'm too poor young for cruises just yet.

people who rave about "cupcakes" as if they had just been invented.

THEY ARE BLOODY FAIRYCAKES AND THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOREVER

People with thick stringy saliva forming little pillars between top and bottom lip when they speak

Apologies if this is too Australian, but I've never seen it done in the UK.

Eating those little tins of tuna. From the can. In front of everyone.

Disposing of the said can into the wastepaper basket next to my desk.

Oh God, Gingerwig, I detest that. Especially when they are on telly and the camera does a close up. Uggh.

Balance Bikes. Why?

People who offer me coffee then add, "We only have decaf."

This thread has had me in tears of laughter!

People who have particular sugar requests: '1 and a half for me please' then ask for a bit more when you've done it.

Even worse is MIL and her 1 sugar and half a sweetner....WTF? Did she carry out tea trials with different sugar/sweetner ratios and mark them out of 10??

The final insult to any round of tea is 'None for me, I'm sweet enough!' Always said by the most irritating person in the group (yes FIL, I mean you!)

Grown men, particularly in suits with briefcases, riding those child's scooters.

people who burp close to your face and you can smell what they'v been eating.

Chewing gum, particularly in those who are never seen without it.
what's that all about?
People sucking mints as a substitute for brushing their teeth

parents letting their children have more than their fair share of the best food at social gatherings
