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.

Lessons will be learned.

No they won't.

People (usually DM) who call, leave a message on my phone saying 'Now, I'm calling you at, hhmmm let's see, 3.45 on a Tuesday afternoon, no, actually it's more than 4pm now...'

I CAN HEAR THE MESSAGE ENVELOPE

I agree perfumedlife anyone of high rank in the public sector whose minions have fucked up thinks they can spout this phrase to the media and it will act as a get out of jail free card.

Security passes that swing from the neck when all your colleagues know who you are anyway

Day-glo jackets on people who don't need them

Dogs

Keeping the tray on the table in a cafe

Mornings

people who blow there noses into a tissue or (worse still) a hanky ugh.Then look at it ugh then put it into their pockets!gross. Then bit later get in back out, give it a shake and reuse it ughhhhhhh!BOAK

I had to leave a training course cos a bloke did this all day with the SAME hanky.
Why would you do that? Wouldnt wipe your arse then put it back in pocket to use later.
And hankies. Who tf washes them?
I just hate snot and bogeys. When i was nursing i would trade with other nurses for pooh or vomit.

People who dislike animals.

People who sing along with the radio,or who burst into song for no apparent reason.

People who lick yoghurt lids,or who scrape their plate as though they're starving.

People who play music on public transport sans headphones.

People who whine about how mean others are being to the OP on AIBU?

People who ask AIBU? then whine and call everyone bitches because they dared to tell them that they think they are being unreasonable.

Anyone who asks 'Whatever happened to the sisterhood?'.

Anyone who says 'Karma will get them'.

Innocent smoothies. Firstly, they are stupidly expensive and boast about how little fruit they have in them. Secondly, all the boasting on the carton about how good they are and they're not even organic.

people saying
"what goes around comes around"

No there is no evidence at all for this actually

agree about children answering the phone

nct Mums far too busy to meet anyone else non nct . And for whom coffee meetings are their new career.

Just fuck off you snooty madams.

Grrr issues.

Oh and people who think all dope smokers are harmless And chilled...

I'm a real killjoy, got a feeling that I'm going to enjoy writing this...

Use of the phrase "I wouldn't mind but..." when explaining something that is obviously causing the speaker to mind so much that they are ranting to me about it.

The word "Ta" fullstop, although despise it when toddlers are told to say it in place of "Thank you"

Visitors that spill coffee on my sofa due to their leaving the full cup of coffee on the sofa arm - FFS, why?

Networking

Talking utter bollocks at Committee Meetings, turning the quick 20 minute meeting into another 3 hour one

Being harrassed into digging my allotment - I've paid my annual fee, please leave me alone!

White top, grey bra

Parents with snotty nosed children who insist that they give my DS a kiss, poor child

Randommers who insist on talking to, and touching my child in the street and on public transport, please leave us alone

Use of the words Xmas, Chillax, Nom nom nom, sik, and "apps"

People unable to say NO to a toddler - you are the parent, they are your child, just say no - it really isn't that hard

They'll be more...

sunshine,
nom nom nom is just about my most unreasonable hate of all and makes me feel violent inside

People that say 'H' as "haitch" instead of "aitch"

Hand towels in other people's houses - you don't know how long it's been since it was washed (I may just have particularly grubby friends...)

Whistling through your teeth - sets my whole body on edge and I want to punch out!!!

People finishing off my sentences - OMG were you there, NO so FFS let me tell it!!!

DH eating cereal in bed whilst i'm reading - aarrgghhhh.......................

Well-dressed women of a certain age. Particularly when they're in M&S.

'Celebrity' autobiographies 'written' by WAGs, models, BB contestants etc.

Ditto Greatest Hits albums released by artists who are in their 20s; have been famous for a year or so and have only released 2 or 3 albums.

Now I like a well dressed woman of certain age. I find them mesmerising. It gives me hope. I like to imagine that I might, some day, be one.

Don't know why really because I've made sod all effort throughout my 30's and 40's so I can't imagine that's going to suddenly change overnight just because I've turned 50.

i'll never be a well-dressed woman of a certain age for exactly those reasons, Fellatio.

I'm a 34-year-old woman who still wears cartoon ankle socks with short skirts.
(although, I'm allowed to, because I work in a children's bookshop and ooh, yes, I'm the boss!)

What does nom nom nom mean?

Agree re NCT mums and racer back/halterneck/strapless tops with normal usually tatty and greying bra.

Black bra under white tops.

Boobs and legs on display

fleeces

Those sort of cropped combat trouser things worn by women in their 50s and 60s

the way my Mum says "with it" when she's trying to sell a place/person/item/concept to me "it's very with it you know darling" guaranteed to put me off.

the way my Mum goes on and on about how "marvellous" Aldi is all the time likes she works for their marketing department or something.

the way my Mum really overpronounces french words mid sentence in a really affected accent such as croissant and restaurant.

Can you see a theme emerging?

Nom nom nom is the new yum yum, I think, minx.

I have to confess we do talk to the dog about her noms (food).

This thread has pretty much made my year never mind my day.

Ringtones.

Anyone who calls anyone else (especially me) babe, man, dude or says cheers when not in fact clinking a glass to mine.

(((((((((((hugs)))))))))) from people who are having "snuggles" with "my lil princess/prince" or who "

Bad grammar on shop signs! Why didn't the sign writer/printer say something?

On bad grammar in shops... I was in my local asda yesterday and noticed that one of the large, green signs they place above the aisles says 'DVD's'. I think it's a bit unreasonable to get annoyed about them in smaller shops, but surely asda can pay someone to check the grammar on their signs (which I assume are mass produced).

"on board" signs in the back of cars, particularly "little princess on board"

Being horribly picky - dvd's is poor punctuation, not poor grammar - but whatever it is, it infuriates me too.

I think we should found the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to the Innocent Apostrophe!
