Tell me about things YABU about - and don't care!

[WyldChyld]

I view vegetarians as being unnecessarily fussy and daft. I have friends who are veggies, I will cook for them. Likewise, if someone has an allergy, I will respect that to the nth degree. But I still cannot shake my prejudice that veggies are attention seek-y or making a grand statement mainly cause most of my "veggie" friends stopped so they could stuff their faces with kebabs when drunk and said that they didn't eat bacon as a comment on society xD

Also, I am very, very judge-y about people who use text speak or lazy grammar. Even on things like Facebook. If you're dyslexic, fine. However, I am genuinely on the brink of removing a friend (well, friend of DH who latched on a bit) because her statuses make me want to throttle her.

All of this is wholly internalised and I would never say anything, obviously - tell me yours, no matter how petty / mean / judge-y they are.

A man on my course has stopped speaking to me and i make little digs about it to annoy him and get a laugh from the rest of the class. It feels great

manchestermummy is it hartlepool? When I first moved there, have thankfully left now, I was wondering why all the foreign tourists would visit such a place, then realised belatedly, they were speaking english . DHs DD has the most shocking accent, poor girl.

People who phone me after I've text them. I hate speaking on the phone, and have memory problems so if it's in writing I won't have to keep asking what time we said we'd meet.

People who shae things on Facebook without checking if they're remotely true i.e. the one about the state income of pensioners vs immigrants, without a single correct amount on it.

The sound a toothbrush makes - non-battery ones.

clueing

but I am a Hun. Attila was my great great great.........grandfather. you must call me hun. Hubby does!

I am very unreasonable about many things:

The mugs, plates and bowls in the dishwasher have to go black, white, black, white and so on...

When the dishwasher is unloaded, the mugs, plates and bowls must be lined up and stacked in the same way.

Other people who put too much washing in their machine, even if it doesn't look overloaded.

Open cupboard doors. JUST CLOSE THEM!

Shirts hanging the wrong way in DP's wardrobe. The buttons have to face right!

DVDs not in alphabetical order. (With the exception of trilogies and sagas. They go where the first one fits alphabetically and then in order e.g Harry Potter and the... etc.)

The pebble dash covering on buildings winds me up. Even more so when people paint it!

When the reminder thingy pops up on the television. Yes, I know, I know, I put a reminder on it, but I changed channel in preparation already!

Books with a page corner folded down. Why not just remember the page number you have reached? Or get a bloody bookmark.

Plenty more, but I will leave it there.

Talking of mugs...I hate those kind that are wider at the top than the bottom, so they're top heavy. Your coffee goes cold and they are far easier to knock over. People who buy them are silly.

Excel worksheets disseminated without print margins also give me the race.

Documents that include a date ref without the year and or different date formats.

Commuters knobheads that:
Sniff loads
Put bags on seats
Try to get on the train\bus before others have got off
Strike up pointless conversations when I'm reading
Sit like they are doing the splits
Stink
Play music on their phones with headphones
Talk non stop in the quiet coach
Type loudly and take over the table
Aren't me

People who are persistently late. It's just rude. Sort your fucking lives out and stop whining about how busy you are. We're all busy.

Music and tv snobs. Just get over yourselves.

Anti-smokers. All the tutting and hand flapping when someone lights up (legally) outside just makes you look like knobs. (and I don't smoke).

People who dither about at the cashpoint, take ages and then look totally surprised to see the queue that's built up behind them. Just get on with it and move out of the way.

Age isn't just a number and it does matter.

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back any more,
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door,
I don't care what they going to say,
let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway

I really hate that 'go to' thing. It's a go to meal in our house. It's my go to hairstyle. He's the go to person.

Go fuck yourself.

pictish - I'm with you on the madulin birthday tributes. I saw one a while ago (needless to say on FB) where someone had put "Happy Birthday, Great Grandma. You would have been 101 today" To which, someone else who hadn't read it properly replied "Wow! She's 101 - give her our congratulations, hope it's a good day".

Mine are -
Vegetarians and vegans who force their children to also be. (adults can do what they want to themselves but babies/small children don't have a choice imo)

OTT anti -smokers. I try my best to not bother others with my smoke, I don't stand in doorways smoking, I might need to come closer to the doorway to put out my cig if that's where the ashtray/bin is but sometimes and only sometimes, if someone makes that fake exaggerated cough sound then I will poof my smoke towards them. I know IBU but please do fuck off with ridiculous over dramatising.

I also know this is U but I hate it when people say 'I'm having a glass of Prosecco or Pinot noir' - It's just a glass of wine, I don't need names.

Heath Cliff! It's me! Your Cathy!

I have another
People who can always get things cheaper.
I have just been to Whitby, lovely 3 days windy and cold but great.
But my friend has just been to Venice for 39 including flights and hotel.
Beat that for oneupmanship.
Everywhere I go she says "Oh, you didn't pay that did you"

Similarly, if I don't recognise the phone number I will not answer the phone, nor will I answer the door unless I am expecting visitors

Blimey LeQueen, that's a bit harsh.
Numbers I've not recognised but glad I answered are my mum ringing up from her friends house needing to spek to me.

The school to tell me DS had collapsed (it wasn't a regular number)

My boss ringing me telling me what a change of plan was that saved me lot of but rang from her home.
All these are within 6 weeks

I answered the door when's wasn't expecting anyone to find it was theyoungman who lived 2 doors down to tell me his mum had died earlier that day. I wasn't expecting that ( to be fair neither was he)

Sometimes people call upon you when you least expect it.

When driving and people let me go first or turn out first even though it's their right of way.

Confuses things and Bugs. The. Shit. Out of me.

I'm not grateful, so just drive.

Me too moomin, particularly if it is because they can't be arsed to do a proper perpendicular turn.

Similarly, if I don't recognise the phone number I will not answer the phone, nor will I answer the door unless I am expecting visitors

Or my sister when she showed up during a miscarriage.

Sorry about the terrible typos and not making much sense. My post seemed fine until I re read it with my specs on!!

Another public transport one...... Men (and it is always men) who just assume you need them to help you with your pram and just grab the end and yank it completely off balance when you're trying to get yourself on and off trains/tubes.

"Going forward" used to start a sentence, usually by some arsehole in a suit. Fuck off, you egregious spunknozzle, and learn to speak Human.
