To ask you to share your weird, irrational, petty hatreds?

[WickedWitchInTheCupboard]

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?

I love this
@mummabear2212
Raging at dressing gowns I’m chucking away

When people hold their knife like a pen or their fork like a shovel. I have to use every ounce of self control not to correct them.

I know that I'm being a dick, but I can't let it go.

When DP's ex refers to non school uniform day as 'mufty day'. I know that's a common phrase for it, don't have a problem with others saying it and get on fine with her but the phrase when she says it, sets my teeth on edge

Scottish people that write and say “yous”

MsMustDoBetter I agree, I wish I didn't do this but I have Dyspraxia. Doesn't keep me from writing well though.

Ooh very good thread!

I can’t stand when I’m washing my face and the water splashes into my sleeve. Every. Bloody. Time!

Putting on a pair of nice, clean socks and standing in some kind of wet patch.

When DH adds too much milk to my tea and it’s lukewarm by the time I have a sip, makes me see red.

People touching my arms/shoulders. Makes me shrug them off every time. No idea why it bugs me so much, it’s just an “argh, get off me!” reaction.

Apples. Worst fruit going.

oh yes to the PP who mentioned stupid girly breathy singing voices, esp when doing covers of otherwise great songs (I'm think John Lewis ads here).

Bagpipes. I hate them that much I never know whether to cry or punch someone in the face when I hear them. Or possibly both.

Auld Lange syne because it makes me hate New Year’s Eve. I’m the miserable fucker that won’t do the weird arm crossing holding hands thing while singing a song that makes no fucking sense. Spoils a good night when that starts.

I used to fucking hate how my exs dm said tomatos.. 15 years later I can still hear it in my head. Argh!

I also hate repetitive noise like clocks ticking, people breathing (including myself but only at night) and that sound some people make when they talk, it's like they've got a sticky mouth and you can hear their lips sticking together so each word that comes out sounds minging and sticky too.. urgh.

I also hate when people hint for things rather than just saying what they want. It's so transparent and irritates the life out of me.

I’ve got a weird one, it’s when people use ‘used to’ in what I consider to be the wrong way. I.e. when talking about their week’s holiday in Mallorca, they might say ‘and we used to go to the restaurant near the beach’

Can someone please tell me they understand why this makes me feel so angry? IT JUST SOUNDS WRONG.

When people are in shops and there is music playing and they sing very badly and loudly or hum along. Keep it to yourself! Also performance parenting - it 's everywhere, all the time.

I also hate dressing gowns
They reek of laziness and smell of human
Ugh ugh ugh

Ah yeah just been reminded of a few..
The wind blowing my hair in my face, it feels like I'm being attacked by my own hair.
When you sit around a fire and the smoke actually follows you, suffocating you when you're there just trying to have a nice time.
And in the past I've had boyfriends that talked in a baby voice occasionally. Saying things like "toothies" for teeth etc wtf..

Alfa Romeo cars with their off centre number plates. I get irrationally angry whenever I see one

OH MY GOD THANK YOU!

I say this to DH alllll the time. It's like they forgot they'd have to leave room for the number plate and just stuck it on quickly at the end.

shouldhave
Yep.. exs dm says that (different ex from tomato lady) "just wait until you get used to it" but not used more like in the way you say "used goods"

When my cheap trainer socks roll down halfway down my foot in the trainer. Having to put hands in cold greasy water to pull the plug out & clear debris... having to put hands into bleach left in sink 'to soak' handling raw chicken

People that get in the wrong queue at petrol stations and have to drag the hose over to fill up.

Posters using the phrase going against the grain incorrectly.
That phrase doesn't mean disagreeing with everyone else on the thread.
It means going against your own beliefs

The increasing use of myself instead of me. You don't sound clever, you sound pretentious

People who moan about summer or moan that it's hot when it's a beautiful summer day and not stifling hot just warm enough to wear as dal s and a dress.

Loud people.

Noisy eaters.

People who blow their noses within earshot of me eating.

Nose pickers.

People who don't respect my personal space.

Boring people telling me about dreams or illnesses or other people I don't know.

Dog owners who let their dog sniff me.

Asda.

People who whistle.

Oh goodness, so many....
Redchester instead of register (my DF!)
Of instead of have
My Neighbour's wind chimes
Baby rather than the baby (same as pp)
The crap YouTube videos my son watches (sqishy testing etc)
Noisy eaters
Swimming pool changing room floor (wear flipflops)
All the reality show 'celebs'
When DS eats the last biscuit/chocolate bar etc and puts the empty wrapper back

I'm sure there's more!

Hair. If I see a hair in food, I will vomit. If I get a hair in my mouth, I will vomit.

Kylie Minogue

People who think I'm from the West Country. I'm fucking Scottish!

Chewing gum.

Smoking.

Ppl who hang their dog poo bags on branches.

Ppl cracking their fingers. Makes me stabby

Mirrors - I always look so fat.

Ppl who slurp while drinking tea, esp if they then go "ahhhhhhh"

‘Light lunch’

Completely irrational, but when my Mum, when telling me about her day, says she has been out for a ‘light lunch’ it really winds me up. I’ve no idea why! Just ‘lunch’ would be fine.

Now I’ve said ‘lunch’ too much and it’s gone funny.

I hadn't realised until reading these that I dislike so many things! This is a brilliant thread!
Things that give me the heaves are:
Baked beans
The vagisan moist cream advert
Vegans
Hipsters and all their wankery. When are they going to realise how ridiculous they are?
Wet tissue and the threat of it breaking at any second
Serrated knife marks in the butter
The sudden stop, perfected by the ignorant everywhere
Strands of hair on clothes/seats, etc
Creme caramel
Attention seekers on SM

Chris Martin - just everything about the man annoys me. Remember his version of Careless Whisper?

When my hands are dry and make scratchy noises and catch like velcro when I'm pulling a sweater on.

Deep pan pizza - all that starchy dough.

On the other end of the spectrum, a thing that gives my great joy is freezing cold spots on my cotton sheets. I have to touch them all before getting out of bed so I don't "waste" them. Ooh, add man-made fibre sheets to the petty hatred list.
