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.

Normal wine can be filtered using fish and cow parts or enzymes or something. Vegan wine doesn't use these and is normally done the traditional way. Same with some beers.

Ahhh I have a few....
People who step off an escalator and then just stop and stand still, move out of the way you ignorant muppets, other people are coming off the escalator and have nowhere to go except to stand on your heels!

People who go to the supermarket in their pjs and dressing gowns in the morning, if you're too lazy to just change into a pair of jogging bottoms or jeans then I'm assuming you haven't even showered/washed and are in the pjs you slept in all night, bleurgh!

People who have to practically sit on your shoulders in queues like it'll make them get to the front quicker, I now have a 'stance' that means they can't get in my space as my foot acts as a barrier (yes I know I'm strange).

People who sit in the aisle seat on a packed bus leaving the window seat empty like they deserve two seats and everyone else should have to stand. I get on early in the route so it never affects me but I sit by the window and keep my bags etc to my own side. Love watching people make a beeline for them and ask them to move up.

And breathe.......

Also, heavy breathers, noisy eaters and constant sniffers, ahhhh that feels better :)

NeedABumChange is correct. Lots of alcohol (wine and beer) uses isinglass (fish bladder) so it isn't vegetarian.

Quite a few (mainly red) wines show egg and milk as ingredients/allergens as they are used in the fining process. This means they are not suitable for vegans but okay for vegetarians.

Fortunately spirits are almost always vegan, along with champagne. Quite a few ciders are vegan too.

Ooooh, I have many!
People who take a young baby to sit in an audience I.e that screams and ruins whatever you are watching for everyone

When a mum AND dad take a screaming baby/ toddler to the supermarket. One of you stay at home with the fucking child while the other does a food shop. It's not rocket science.

People who use 'should of' instead of 'should have'

People who have no idea that 'a lot' is 2 words

Jeremy Clarkson- biggest dog knob we on the face of the earth

I judge people who name their kids stupid named

I commit the grand crime of theft by consumption. What's worse I make my kids do it.

I have an irrational fear of never eating sugar again

I think I'm funny

I know IABU about these things (and many more).
what are you going to do about it?

meat eaters who moan about vegetarians!

smokers

people who stand in front of you when you're looking at something on the supermarket shelf!

People who hunt and call it a "sport" ....actually people who hunt in general...gives me the rage!

People who wear real fur.

Crying babies and tantruming toddlers grind my nerves. Which makes me feel terrible, because I have a baby of my own. Other babies just annoy me.

Grimble - 'gotten' is in common enough parlance in some English speaking countries, such as the US, Australia and NZ.

Another username reminded me of this - people who say the following:

• "needs his bum changed" (sounds dangerous)
• "the floor needs cleaned" (here's the "to be" you forgot to use)
• "fell pregnant" (how unfortunate you tripped just as he had his penis out)

And people (doctors, often) who call adult women "mummy" and their child "baby" like they are their names. I know they can't remember everyone's name, but it's ok to just say "you" and "the baby" - isn't it?? Does anyone at all in the world like to be called "mummy" by another adult who isn't their child?

Stupid made-up names. It's a horrible thing to do to a child and should be banned.
People who never say thankyou. Dsis- I mean you. Just be bloody grateful for once in your life.
People who eat the middle of the pie and leave the pastry.It is not going to kill you.
Big, grown up men who carry teeny dogs around make me feel queasy.

emmelin

people who eat pastry but not pie middle.

your people and my people should marry and share pies forever more

I really need to find ethical sources of meat.

Also I am not thin and love a latte and syrup, Oxen. :o

People who hang up prints of hunting dogs and such. (Happens all the time around here.)

Every time I have to get my arse off the sofa to answer the phone.
Very unreasonable, I know. I still silently swear at the phone before being all nice to the person calling. Except if you are a cold caller. Then feel my wrath.

People who invade my personal space. If I'm backing away from you, you're too close. Don't follow.

People who touch me when talking to me, and then don't take the obvious hint when I flinch or move. I really can't concentrate on what you're saying at that point because I'm on edge about when or if you'll touch me again

When my Swype app autocorrects to the wrong word. How many times do I ever mean wad. Really, the statistics show I probably mean was. Same with are, you and or, they are the ones I want, not ate your or our! Why can't you be psychic?!

I have more, but my keyboard is now playing up!

I have no problem with vegetarians at all, but don't tell me I'm ignorant or stupid for my choice to eat meat. I'm not rude about your choices. I have known plenty of vegetarians who do NOT do this, but a few who have done pissed me right off, especially when I get into an informed debate with them where I don't insult them but use examples (like the milk and eggs) and they just resort to personal insults.

Like pp said, people who stand still in stupid places like doorways or the end if an escalator. Get out of the way!

People who pronounce bottle or hospital as bockle and hospical. Just can't stand it. It does not make you sound cute or innocent, it makes you sound like an idiot.

Phew!

Aaarghhh OP, you've opened the floodgates! One last one. When I all someone to repeat something and they just say the last couple of words of the sentence. I didn't hear what you said, so those random words mean nothing to me and now I have to take even more time to explain that to you and ask you to say the whole thing again.

It's been said before but smokers...

When I was pregnant it would make me sick to be walking near a smoker. I hate smokers in doorways. I hate fag butts. I hate people dropping fag buts (especially on the beach) and most of all I hate people who drop litter!

I usually like these threads but the judging vegetarians/vegans does touch a nerve I am sorry. I get drunk regularly, but never drunk enough to forget my beliefs, and from my experience, meat eaters who have a bee in their bonnet are the preachy ones. The amount of times they learn I am not one, so judge and scowl and try to taunt me with their supposed evangelical attitude and how do I get my protein etc. I never say a word about their diets!

'I took the dog a walk'
Ditto to 'I'll change his bum'.

'The car needs washed'

'It needs cleaned'

'Somethink's going on with her'

'Do you need anythink from the shop'?

etc etc
I joined.

Sometimes I just dislike other people's kids. Would never say it out loud as i know it's horrid, but sometimes love my own obviously i have to do a 'fake' friendly act with them. This makes me feel like a psycho and kids can tell when you're being false.

To the pp who mentioned people sitting in aisle seats on the bus / I do that! Contrary to popular belief, I'm not trying to take up two seats, I just like to sit in the aisle seat!
I don't like being 'trapped' in the window seat, so sit in the aisle but am happy to move to let someone sit down in the empty seat. Fwiw I do this on trains, buses and planes, and do sometimes get filthy looks, but I don't care

Cyclists on busy dual carriageways.

I know I am BU but FUCKING HATE THREADS LIKE THIS.

I hate capitals, hate when people say 'and', hate it when people breathe, hate vertical blinds, hate rugs on carpets, hate cushions aaaargh

I'm SUCH A HYPOCRITE.
