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?

People who say 'the proof is in the pudding' instead of 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'
People who say ' Busy busy busy! '
Seeing really old people struggling to look after their grandchildren in school holidays

Lol, that sounds fun, I may have to spend a few hours in the public gallery of my local court.

I had reason to make a complaint to the police complaints people, I had fun pointing out that some of the words used in one of the police statements were, "not words within my idiolect" and wondering if they needed to check a dictionary.

People putting a space between the last word in a sentence and the punctuation. It really annoys me !
People using multiple punctuation!!! You are not 12.
People saying 'less' when they mean 'fewer'.
Random apostrophes.
People who don't move down on the Tube.
Litter droppers
Brexit
People walking whilst on their phones and nearly walking into me.
People seeking justification to take children out of school for holidays, do it, don't do it, up to you. If you are seeking justification you know it's wrong.
Nigel Farage.

My 14yr old telling stories. Why does every one she knows talk with a bad American accent?

People who lecture me about getting out more when I'm a single mum with no support network/money for babysitters.

People who pronounce words completely wrong how do they not realise? My ex used to say "icening" instead of icing he had no idea it was wrong. Same with Munster.

Red velvet cake or rainbow cake. It just looks wrong.

Who ever said Grace Dent - oh God yes.
I know it's horribly unsisterly and unreasonable of me but she's got a face like a spoon and the clicky breathy way she talks raises my blood pressure to the extent that I had to unsubscribe from her podcast ( which actually is quite interesting) as I couldn't stand having the image of her wet clicking mouth in my ears.

Any sign for your house that says something like Home, Love, Soak

Twee signs for your house about how it's messy but full of love

People who dress their babies in knickerbockers and tights

Leopard print anything.
I hate it.
I don't aspire to look like Kat Slater.

I also hate when when people say 'as a mother/parent' when putting their point across in a debate.
I don't think it matters whether you've recreated or not in most arguments.
I say that as a mother!

I've done bar work for over 20 years. My annoyances are
People waving money in my face
Telling me the person beside them is next
Tapping on the bar
Giving the exact money and saying to keep the change
Being accused of under pouring (Never over pouring strangely )
Putting the round order in bit by bit (I can pour many drinks simultaneously honest)
Ordering Guinness last.
Trying to order drinks from me as I'm collecting glasses and wiping tables. Get your arse to the bar like all the less important pens.
Asking the bar staff for cigarettes or to use their phone. We're on minimum wage you cheapskate.
I'm not flirting with you. I'm being pleasant and friendly. Stop trying it on.
I'm not flirting with your fella. I'm being pleasant and friendly and nonchalantly avoiding your stink eye Tell him to stop trying it on.

I have thought of some others.

Cyclists on footpaths
Jeremy Corbyn
Kerry Katona
Katy Price
Most other reality tv 'stars'
Road users who don't indicate

very skinny women in their 50s / 60s upwards. It just doesn't look right! I had a colleague like this and it just reminds me of these old women in care homes I saw when I visited my gran - you know when they are too frail/sick/forgetful to eat?

Cat food in sachets. I cannot open the fuckers without getting fishy sauce splashes on my hand or the worktop.

Celebrities who hijack programmes that used to be for 'ordinary people' like Family Fortunes, unless it's a special raising money for charity show.

The zips on undone jeans that almost disappear and lie flat and have to be dug out out from the seams by the fingernails to be able to grip them to do them up. Always when you're in a public loo.

My neighbours have a twee decorative lampost in their garden to light the garden all night every night. It lights up my back bedroom and only blackout curtains keep the light out.

The zip pull (not very clear, there, but hard to describe)

Oh.... snarky one

When you're the permie and I'm the contractor, don't expect me to know all the processes and protocols... please explain so I can just get on with my work and not look pained when I have to ask you where things are stored, filed, archived, etc but cry in personal meetings with me about how sorry you haven't been able to give me much time because you have so many personal problems....

And to share those personal problems on Slack, (team messaging system) virtue signalling about how much you're doing to help certain people and how much you care yet have time to search Amazon for perfumes, bags, shoes, etc. (I have eyes and sit right next to you and don't have to crane my neck to see what you're doing).

I get really pissed off in windy weather particularly when it gets under my hood so it keeps flying off and when I'm wearing a coat with only two buttons and the wind parts the bottom of it so it keeps flapping up... gaaahhh!

I also absolutely hate grating cheese and will go to ridiculous lengths to avoid doing it

Just had a stark reminder of another. Being told I'm posh, glamorous and rich because I have a horse.
Nope I'm cold, covered in mud/shit mix, I stink, have at least one black digit from being bitten or stood on and I'm skint.
I give up shit like nails, holidays, regular haircuts, new clothes and shoes and my soul to afford keeping my horse. And I love it.

So.fuck.off.

People saying x pound instead of x pounds when talking about the cost of something

@ALongHardWinter it's not so much what they blow their nose on it the fact their doing it in earshot 🙈 like in a restaurant. The amount of times I've had to abandon my food because I want to be sick! It's disgusting to do it in public 🤢

Man buns...can't look at them

People who walk slowly. Particularly couples who take up the whole pavement. Just fucking move!!
Long nails on men make me shudder.
Men who walk around with no shirt on in the summer. It's never that hot. Put some fucking clothes on.
Children using my head to balance themselves if I'm helping them with clothing. Get off!!
Also, anyone thinking it's hilarious to use my head as an arm rest to illustrate how short I am (5'0). I have used minor violence in the past in response to this. Touching my bump when I'm pregnant. Ugh! Why?!
Hun and all other cutsey words that are usually spouted by the same people. For example 'my lil prince/princess'
Love my life/living my best life.
Chester draws, could of etc
General terrible use of the English language.
Babies in full designer gear right down to white Adidas trainers
JoJo Bows
Big bows on baby girls
Poor babywearing. Not only is your baby going to be uncomfortable, you will wreck your back!
When you WhatsApp someone and there's no blue ticks, but you can see that they've been online since you sent the message. Stop pretending you haven't seen it.

I am nice, not judgy in real life, honest.

People who put their tongues out in photos.

Yes! Someone I know seems incapable of keeping their tongue in when being photographed. Gives me the absolute rage.

People who feel the need to announce how 'crazy' they are. You're not, you're a fucking bore.

Of instead of have.

'Lil man' when referring to boy child. FUCK OFF

I don't like other people much.

Putting the round order in bit by bit (I can pour many drinks simultaneously honest)
Ordering Guinness last.

This used to drive me bloody mental!

People posting on here or anywhere really asking Am I pregnant? Take a bloody test!

People thinking they are above the law or not abiding by the rules, ie, parking on chevrons near school as they got there too late to get a legal safe spot, taking their dog on children's play parks when it clearly says NO DOGS!

And people not putting their trolley back at the supermarket, they just leave it and drive off and then it rolls into someone's car, it's just pure laziness.
In general, rule breaking is my bug bear!

I know a woman who refers to her DD as "lil princess" and I want to kill someone when I see it in writing. No idea why it bothers me, I think it's the 'lil' part though. It's just vile.

I hate when dog walkers shout "it's ok, he's just playing" when their dog is pinning my spaniel to the ground via her throat. It's the equivalent of me biting your face and my DH shouting "it's alright, she's just playing".

Ordering Guinness last used to make me want to glass them. Thanks so much you inconsiderate twat. Not only do you now have to stand at the bar longer, you are also holding up the people who are next.
I used to put the money through, get on with serving the next few people and make them wait for it. Small victories.
