I'll start...

It's incredibly immature and irrational but there is a certain (fairly common) name I cannot stand purely because it's the name of both a girl who bullied me when I was young and DHs ex, who is difficult.

I literally hate any mention of this name and automatically dislike anyone with it (ok, not really but in my head for a few moments I do!).

Another less petty but more bizarre one is that I HATE the tops of bottle caps scraping on my nails. It makes me want to be sick. Shuddering thinking about it right now!

Anyone else got any weird/petty/irrational dislikes?

Wet cutlery makes me very angry

When my the cuffs of my sleeves get wet or my socks .. also Charlotte Crosby.

The smell of cold tea - makes me gag.

Pk37 · 07/02/2019 14:34

When the ! Should also add Autocorrect..

CallMeSirShotsFired · 07/02/2019 14:35

Those fucking meerkats and people who collect them.
People who say "simples" like those fucking meerkats.

I really detest those meerkats.

A particular football team because all the bullies at school ardently supported them I wish them naught but failure so those boys are miserable Blush

HowlsMovingBungalow · 07/02/2019 14:38

Excessive cup stirrers.
Wet bendy fingernails.

ElfridaEtAl · 07/02/2019 14:38

@Pk37 OH was watching The Charlotte Show (Hmm) the other day and I didn't used to mind her but that bloody voice she puts on when she's faux upset about something! I can't stand it.

ChrisPrattsFace · 07/02/2019 14:39

I can’t cope when someone says ‘claws’ ... it infuriates me.
I’m a vet nurse, I will happily clip your dogs nails, but I’m not cutting your dogs claws.

BartonHollow · 07/02/2019 14:40

Also I know I'm in the minority but I hate humour that involves bodily functions.

I know it makes me seem like a prig with a stick up my arse but I can't find it funny because it involuntarily makes me physically nauseous. I don't mean to be humourless Blush

When the sleeve of my jumper / cardi catches on the door handle

CruCru · 07/02/2019 14:43

I absolutely hate being tickled. I am not ticklish, it just makes me angry.

I can’t stand chewing gum and judge people who are chewing.

Snapchat... Annoys the hell out of me when people post pictures of themselves with them filters, even more so when they do it on babies.

CruCru · 07/02/2019 14:44

I’ve always hated the saxophone. It’s something about the sound. I feel that way about the clarinet too to some extent.

Lambbone · 07/02/2019 14:45

Anna Chancellor

I simply can't bear to look at her.

Don't know the woman at all - she just has a face that annoys me beyond all reason.

CruCru · 07/02/2019 14:45

Yes! There’s a woman on FB (possibly doing MLM) who only takes photos through a filter. She keeps saying how healthy she is but it looks like she’s been airbrushed.

NaiceHamPlease · 07/02/2019 14:47

Machines that beep insessantly when finished, no need to goad me until I attend to the dry clothes/clean dishes or what ever.... I know your there. It fills me equally with rage and anxiety.

Waterbottle1999 · 07/02/2019 14:49

People who get in the way when I'm going shopping. The unreasonable part of me would love for people to clear out while I'm shopping. Obviously that doesnt happen though

llangennith · 07/02/2019 14:52

ChrisPrattsFace dogs have claws not nails! Ever heard of a dew claw?

SileneOliveira · 07/02/2019 14:53

People who clap along in time to music like fucking performing seals.

JayoftheRed · 07/02/2019 14:55

Long finger nails. I hate them.

I hate them on myself, and cut my finger nails weekly. I hate them on men, they look weird. I hate it when my children's nails are long, and I don't want to touch them or hold their hand until they allow me to cut them. I hate it when women type with the nails (looking at you Karen) instead of the pads of their fingers, and I hate it when they're fake and are growing out and there's like half an inch of real nail sticking out from under the false one. Also I hate them all painted in stupid colours.

Yes, I realise that I am utterly unreasonable.

YouAreKiddingMoi · 07/02/2019 14:56

People who sniff... get a tissue and blow!

People who shuffle... pick up your feet!

FreshBoomBatImaTouchIt · 07/02/2019 14:56

I've stopped patronising my local cafe as they use the words "Nourishing" and "Properties" on the menu now.

StopMakingAFoolOutofMe · 07/02/2019 14:58

Minions. Those yellow little bastards are so annoying.

People who have my name in a real life situation. Extremely childish I know, but I hated working with another "my name" and was glad when she left. It's MY name Grin

toddman70 · 07/02/2019 14:59

I live in the U.S., so certain fans of U.S. pro football teams, and some U.S. college football teams. They tend to be overly obnoxious, and think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.
