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?

Twats on mumsnet pretending the impossible is normal

Tonight,... I've been doing my job for ten years and am a proffesional, but I'm now doing an apprenticeship to do that job.

Twats, oh yes this is totally the norm. You totally need to do an apprenticeship to do a job you're fully qualified to do and have done for ten years,

No it's bloody not, stop being a twat. 🤣

Baby Boomers.
Crushed velvet anything
Vertical blinds
Sniffers

Redchester instead of register (my DF!)

Is he from the NE by any chance?

@SpamChaudFroid Chris Martin came into hospital when my DS was in & he asked if he could meet DS. We're not into his music at all, but he was honestly the loveliest guy. Brought in iPods, iTunes vouchers, dvds, cds... for the kids he met. Had no entourage, just him. Offered to get me nurofen from the shop as I'd forgotten my migraine meds. I now cannot hate him! Lol

People who talk about "hosting". I can't STAND it. Also referring to things as " my" for example: "Oh, I can't miss my Cold Feet," "When I lost my weight," and worst of all "That's my man over there." Man! Bloody hate that as well. Husband, partner, boyfriend: fine. Man? God, no!

Any hoo.
It's Anyhow you fuckers

-wet lip/mouth noises
-people eating with mouth open or, worse, making a half-hearted attempt to close their mouth by slightly curling their lips inwards
-incessant sniffing (fucking blow your nose)
-phlegm sounds
-contouring make up
-all the men on Top Gear
-the word cheeky as in "a cheeky drink" or "cheeky chappie"
-the song "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time"
-DH braying abruptly with laughter whilst listening to podcasts on his headphones

I have many more.

Carrier bags in trees

Fog logs on cars when there is no fog.

When one hand is wet and the other isn't and I have to dry the wet hand on a towel. The difference in texture of the towel between the wet hand and dry hand gives me rage so I always have to wet the second hand before I dry. Irrational and I have no idea where it came from

I do this as well! God I can't stand the feeling of one dry hand! It actually gives me a shiver up my spine.

Yes! I thought I was the only one!

I hate touching wet clothes, especially when having to turn them the right way after being washed. 🤢

The sound that those cheap rubbers make, especially the pink ones on top of pencils. Aaaargh...

The word ‘gift’ used as a verb.

When people in shops say ‘that’s £££ altogether’ and you’ve only bought one thing (this one I know is VERY unreasonable)

As a PP mentioned, ‘yourself’ and ‘myself’ used repeatedly in an effort to sound formal, it just sounds mad.

I can't handle wet hair. Cleaning out the drain I have to equip myself with rubber gloves (which makes it much harder and therefore a longer task) and then I quickly have to discard the hair ball into the bin all whilst gagging and dry heaving.
It wouldn't seem as ridiculous if it wasn't for the fact that's it's pretty much only my hair as I live with just my 4 yr old DS so doubt his fairly short hair is what's clogging the bloody drain al the time

People who walk very slowly three abreast taking up the whole pavement I always want to shout 'get out the way'. Just as bad if they are walking towards you and make no effort to move over when there is enough room for peolpe to pass on either side.

1. People advertising their tat for sale on Facebook - kids toys £2 each, just fucking donate them to charity

1. People selling "draws" - they're actually drawers FFS, in no shop will you see draws for sale

1. People driving in the fast lane of dual carriageway as they'll take the last exit at the next roundabout which is fucking miles away

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

Yes I know... but I hate the term ‘claw’, Makes my teeth itch!

When people my MIL say "Asdas" instead of "Asda". And "brought" instead of "bought."

Adults who are obsessed with Disney films.

My neighbours parking their rank rustbucket of a car right outside my kitchen window instead of on their actual drive like normal human beings.

The wet bit of paper on top of natural yoghurt like Fage Greek Yoghurt. Can never peel it off without it dripping everywhere and it's just bloody pointless!

Bad English...
One of them apples...
We was there...
Vom...

The names Evan and Agatha and any name that is trendy.. Eg lily maes etc... Soz!

People eating noisy/smelly food in places where you shouldn't eat... Cinemas /theatres....

Tailgating
Road rage
Back seat drivers

People who tell yoh the entire story of a film.... If I'm not interested it's tiresome... If I am... You've just ruined it.

People who only EVER talk about their kids.... It's not that I'm not interested... But 10 minutes of very similar photos of your baby ia really more than enough!

Rudeness

Lacn of kindness...

Men with topknots.

Men with those hideous hipster beards.

When midwives refer to you as 'Mum' instead of your actual name.

Ryan Goslings weird face.

And completely agree with people using yourself and myself instead of you and me in a bid to make themselves sound remotely intelligent.

Apologies, I'm full of rage tonight.

The phrase 'a pop of colour'. Add some bright yellow accessories to your grey kitchen 'for a pop of colour'.

Honestly don't know why this enrages me, but it does.

Irrationally "love you lots like jelly tots" might be ok up until about age 2 but beyond that is just entirely cringeworthy - it puts my hackles up every time...

People that reverse into spaces in car parks (and take ages to do it whilst everyone else has to wait for them so they can pass). Selfish!! Jesus but it puts me in a temper.
I knew my best mate was my best mate when she had the exact same rant about this as me. And yes I know they can then drive out quicker when leaving. And I don't care.

This is Mumsnet specific but I've just seen it again and it annoys me so much

Parents want to be traditional and name their child after a beloved deceased parent or grandparent AS PEOPLE HAVE DONE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

Poster :

Well it's not very fair on the child to not have their own name etc

If I share a name with someone it's still my own name and unless you go all the way out and call your kid LOU LOU FOXY YOGHURT FRONT BUM they aren't going to have a name that is only "their own name"

People who put their tongues out in photos. ESPECIALLY the tongue out, dead-eyed expression that seems popular with women who use contour and Facetune on Instagram.

When the fork tines interlock when washing up.

“Get rid. End of.” FUCK OFF.

Outlandish autocorrect errors on Mumsnet by lazy posters who can’t take 10 seconds to read their post.

People who comment in ANY way on what I’m eating at work. Even ‘oh, that looks nice” puts me off. If someone says anything about my food I am likely to fucking throw it in the bin after pushing it around for a bit because I completely lose my appetite. If it’s not actually snowing or raining I’ll often take my food outside but it annoys me because what I really want to do is eat in silence at me desk while watching Netflix.
