AIBU in hating...

[TiggyCBE]

...everything in the list below?

I thought I'd get everything out in one thread.

-Dresses with only one arm. You see them at award ceremonies and stuff but they look silly. I think of them as bowling dresses because the only practical point I can see to them is that it must help your bowling to have your bowling arm unencumbered by sleeve.

-People who walk too slowly. Just get out of my way! I've got stuff to do!

-People who walk to quickly. Calm down and stop jostling past me. I don't care if you've got stuff to do!

-People who start an answer to your question by sucking air through their teeth in an attempt to make it seem like their response will be truly earth shattering.

-People who think of animals as their babies. Even worse are those that dress them up in human like clothes. Get a grip women! (And I do mean women because it is only women who put bonnets on cats)

-Decorated cars. They look shit. If a VW Beetle looked so great red with black ladybird spots and eyelashes then VW would make them like that. They don't because they look shit. You're not being wacky, you're being a twerp.

-Kitchen utensil drawer. Why are they made to jam shut? Why is that thought of as a useful feature?

-Idiots that take pride in not being able to function. "I can't use a computer!" "I always avoid those self checkouts!" "It took me 5 days to put together an IKEA spoon rack!". It's a bad thing that you can't do it, not good.

-Netmums. Humourless establishment prissy doily-using maiden aunts.

-Precocious children. Yeah, but can you drive? Can you? Can you? No! because you're a child!

-Ian Hisplop/Jeremy Hardy/etc. Every silver lining has a cloud. Negative negative negative. They say everything is crap and if it's not (Olympics for example) it's quietly forgotten. If a scientist were to find a cure for cancer, they would bang on about how the scientist once got a parking ticket, "Shamed drug scientist" they would call him. And if they know everything about how to run things to make the world a better place, why don't they?

-Comedians who talk about the royal family being "German". Very lazy and xenophobic. Her family came here over 300 years ago but they're still German?

-Orange juice with "Bits". Unless they specify what the bit are I'm not drinking it. Would you eat pasta that was advertised as containing "Things"?

People who say that everything was better in the old days. Actually, I think you'll find that before the 1970s at least 50% of children were shoved up chimneys or down t'pit where they died of cholera, polio, mal-de-mare, plague, dynasty, smallpox and elfshot. Now that sort of thing doesn't happen in the South of England.

I should probably have a rest now for a bit.

Oh yes, rude people.

I may out myself here if my friend in question is a fellow MNer, but when she and her husband were in dire need they stayed with another (now ex) friend for 2 months. They gave her money for bills, bought all the food while they stayed there, did all the housework etc - then after they left she came and asked them for more money to cover the council tax for the time they stayed there!

The same (its becoming clear why she's an ex) friend was an almighty nightmare on my hen do, then turned up at our wedding without so much as an apology or a card. I was obviously not impressed and said so, after which she pointed out that she's got us a card and gift, but decided that the postage on them had cost her a bit more than she expected (£5) so she had decided to just keep them herself. WTAF?!!

Fantastic op

I can't match your wit or irony, but my list includes:

Ball point pens that seem to have a piece of gravel in the tip rather than a free flowing ball.

Mild cheddar/Wax really interchangeable

Wasps, or any insect really. (How was this intelligent design?)

Fire drills; as if I am going to behave like that if there is a blaze behind me.

at panda hating-how could you?

I want to know what is the point of jackets and cardigans without sleeves.How do they keep you warm?
I also don't get padded body warmer/gillet things.They look cosy but my arms are COLD

I've got a biggie......

when you hold a door open for someone and they just sail through without acknowledging you....arrrrggghhhhh!!

Gemma, I like to say 'You're welcome' passive-aggressively

I agree about chuggers. "Do you want to cure cancer?". Not personally; I'm a drama student and would invariably fuck it up, maybe if you asked someone with a bit more medical knowledge....but really, soliciting on the street isn't going to find someone who can cure cancer for you, sorry.

People who judge drama students. We don't all wear ridiculous short shorts with quirky patterned tights and Ugg boots, we're not all there because we failed our A Levels and Mummy and Daddy wanted us to go to university so that Mr and Mrs Next Door wouldn't judge. We aren't all into interpretive dance and method acting.

Most other drama students. Most other drama students do wear ridiculous short shorts with quirky patterned tights and Ugg boots, most of them are there because they failed their A Levels and Mummy and Daddy wanted them to go to university so that Mr and Mrs Next Door wouldn't judge, and most of them are into interpretive dance and method acting.

People who dislike manatees. HOW?

People who complain about being short, but then do a little giggle and say "But good things come in small packages!". So what you really mean is, "I'm better than you, you tall fat cunt". Fuck off

French housemates (any housemates really, but French ones in particular right now) who move their girlfriend in, doesn't expect her to contribute, lets her throw a big party and use everyone else's glasses and bowls, then breaking them, smoking in the bathroom when there is a strict no-smoking-in-the-house rule and we'll all be fined by landlords if they find out, and having REALLY REALLY LOUD FRENCH SHOWER SEX at 1 in the FUCKING morning, and wondering why we're pissed off about it. I don't want to hear "Ooh la la, sacre bleu, mon vagin" when I'm trying to sleep.

Posting-history-stalkers and profile stalkers on here. It's a really dick move to be in the middle of a debate with someone when they're actually putting forward rational arguments, you check their posting history - oh, they're young, how can they know anything. The next response will invariably be "You're 19? Come back when you've grown up a bit". I believe that's shorthand for "I don't have a strong rebuttal, so here, I'm going to make you feel like your argument is worthless because you were born after me".

People who write really really long posts about what pisses them off.

Sarcasm.

Irony.

This thread is therapeutic!

Rub out pens. Pricey and go against all I've been taught.

Bobble hats.

"Ooh la la, sacre bleu, mon vagin"

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune, Moomin, but that IS pretty fucking funny.

Also, so 'vagin' is masculine? How interesting.

Three quarter sleeves- it's either hot enough for no sleeves or it's not. Grrr
When you let people in cars 'out' in traffic and they don't acknowledge it.
Stingy people
Most politicians.
Early morning flights
Rats and mice
People who don't wash themseves
Nits

Moomin, I now know why my love life was never that great when I lived in France - I hadn't perfected the sex chat :)

On Lego - it's not the colour, it's Lego actually marketing it as girls only that grates. It's restrictive to boys and girls.

Ahh..I feel at home on this thread..so many irritations..

My contributions
Worthy or philosophical FB statuses- I don't care!
The sad face status that prompts the what's up queries..followed by I'll pm you - either tell us or don't put it on there!
Statuses that gush about the persons wonderful DC/DH/DW and you know they are as dysfunctional as you can get..
Those that describe their DD as princess when you know they spend the day shouting at little princess or dump on DGP at every opportunity.
Those that describe DC as sexy! They are toddlers ffs!!!
wonders why she uses it!
Text speak..The English language is expressive and extensive just use it!
Colleagues who have an overinflated ego and are a total pain in the arse!

Oh for the one where people refer to pets as DC..a friend was in a pub with us with his lazy old Labrador that was sprawled across the floor..a woman bent down and said 'who is your mummy or daddy? Like the dog was going to bloody answer! Our friend piped up 'I have shagged a few bitches in my life but he isn't my son!' The woman was and walked off quickly!

Anyone who says 'myself' instead of 'me' or 'yourself' instead of you.

Teenage sons who keep forgetting to use antiperspirant.

Anyone who starts a sentence with "I'm not racist but..." or "I'm not sexist but..."

People who over-emote on Facebook about how much they love their little bub / gorjuss princess / man of their dreams.

Mouth ulcers

Michael Gove

Holiday homework

YY to herbal teas.

And weak tea. People who drink 40 of those and every 20 minutes say 'i am dying for a tea'. Just have one strong then. What is the point of having 40 cups of weak tea?
People who 'love' tasteless things. You can not love a rice cake, or polenta. You just cant.

People who always talk in cliches. Like they have swallowed one of those womens glossy magazines.

Bulky/awkward shaped plugs that mean you can't plug more than one into a socket even with a double adaptor.
I know you shouldn't overload sockets but FGS things like LED Christmas lights? usually pull less than 100 w - normal domestic socket that can take 3000 w you could plug in more than 30 sets! You would have to try really hard to overload a socket with appliances than use transformers- but no they have bits that sticks up or down so you can only plug in one at a time... unless you buy one of those bulky 4 plug adaptors...more chance of overloading and some of them trailing wires etc - why?
Why not just make it fatter? Grrrrrrrr.....

It's very reassuring that there's so much hate in the world.

For the right things of course.

I've just thought of something else that fills me with rage.

Posters for events that have already passed! Take them down. Paste something else over the top. But don't keep them up for months after the event has passed.

Nunquamnonparatus, I am a woman if that's any help (begins melodramatic wailing). I obviously meant it's a word as well as a name. I am, however, a bit of an idiot in the past few days.

All printers.

Did I mention rosé?

Milk.

Anything advertised as 'for her'. Apparently I'm not even capable of buying patronising sexist crap myself and need a manly man to do it for me.

Fountain pens.

OTT menu descriptions. What is the food and what is it made of? That is all I wish to know.

Being given a pint in two half glasses, or a tiny glass for bottled beer when the guys I'm with get things as they are normally served.

That petite jeans and trousers are still to long for me.

Nope, can't figure it out boy

Credit.
It's only lunchtime and this morning two rl shops and one online retailer have offered money off my purchases if I sign up to their credit cards. The post came with an envelope from American Express, Visa and Barclay card - I'm pre-approved apparently.
I could have applied for SIX credit cards in the space of four hours.
And that is ignoring the solicitations of the bank.

I'm pretty much fuelling the dark side single handed today.

People who say 'wow. Just wow' instead of making an actual comment. It's the internet equivalent of a silent pass-agg bosom hoik.

Advertising campaigns directed at 'mums', as if (a) only 'mums' are the only people supposed to wash/clean/buy frozen food, and (b) all women must be 'mums'.

Pointless additions to existing phrases, like 'to change up', instead of 'to change', or 'to pose up' instead of 'to pose'. And words that only exist in Grazialand, like 'luxe cardigans' and 'sports casual' and 'a go-to lip'.

"Oh and lastly, if I'm invited to a BBQ where you have to bring your own meat (in two minds about this). Please don't help yourself to my yummy steak/homemade burger/posh sausages when all you have contributed is some shitty 2p sausages made from swine foreskins."

That has made me laugh a lot!

Today it is people who park their car to far on the pavement that I have to push my kids into traffic. Douche-canoes.

People that have conversations in the middle of the road/pavement.. Move two feet to the side to let others pass it is not rocket science!

L33T speak and text speak. Especially on forums- makes my eyeballs bleed.

People who offer my kids candy or soda without asking me first discreetly. If I say no I just look like the mean strict mom.

People correcting my American English to British English. Yes I said trash can instead of bin, but you knew what I meant didn't you? I'm sorry my 28 years of living in one country hasn't quite rubbed off yet.

Those who fish for compliments/sympathy on facebook or in real life. In the same vein, those that blindly share crap political or religious statuses (looking at you Mom! We know you love your guns and God. Thank you for sharing that yet again eye roll)
