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?

Sequins. Can't bare them. They make my teeth itch.

People who call their young children/babies "sexy" followed by "sexy lil man" makes me highly uncomfortable.

Long fingernailed shop assistants who bang the tills because they can’t touch the keys properly.

Long fingernailed people using their smartphones. This gives me the shivers.

Dog owners who tell you their dog is really friendly. I don’t give a shit. Keep it away from my kids and me.

And those wall stickers that say Live,Laugh, Love, Remember to Breathe, And Eat, And open your Eyes ..... etc I had to peel an entire bloody monologue off my kitchen wall when I moved in to my house, took forever.

Crushed velvet furniture. Hate the look, hate the feel, no idea why.

Blue lights in public Loos. Yes I know it's there for a reason but bloody hell I can't hardly see what I'm doing.

People who mock me for ordering Diet Coke with my Mac Donald's. Yes I get the irony but actually pal, I'm not saving calories, there's so much sugar in regular coke that it makes me thirsty and makes me teeth squeaky. So bugger off and mind your own sodding business.

I hate the phrase 'things are hotting up'. Heating up, you mean. Growl.

My DH and DD both leave their socks half inside out so when I take them out of the washing machine I have to put my hands INSIDE them to turn them around so they don't take 100 years to dry. Lazy sods.

Like a PP, I'm the only person who changes the loo roll. FGS, there's no special training required. Lazy sods again.

Also, I hate loose hair wrapping around my fingers when I am trying to have a relaxing bath.

Hate people calling pets 'fur babies'
Hate the phrase 'forever home'
Infact any twee way of talking about pets.

Like a PP, I'm the only person who changes the loo roll. FGS, there's no special training required. Lazy sods again.

I've come to the conclusion that the toilet roll must be DNA secured and it's only mine that activates the unlocking device to allow it to be changed.

The washing machine is also DNA protected

iklboo I think you might me on to something.

No! Be, not me. For Pete's sake, I am so enraged I can't even proof read any more

French fancies, they disgust me.

Dogs. Noisy bags of shit.
My neighbour opposite. The fat mouthy bastard.
Bad manners. It seems to be a sin to say please and thank you these days.
People insisting on showing me pictures of their holidays and kids etc.
People wittering on about their kids and grandkids. Yes Sandra, I get that your grandchild is the most marvellous, funniest, gifted, cutest child ever to have graced the planet, now please go fucking kick yourself to death.
Lateness.

Someone upthread mentioned nuns. I'm confused as to why nuns are rage inducing? Made me giggle though.

Bit harsh

The use of "fast forward" when recounting events on a thread.
"I met my husband in 2004. Fast forward to 2006 and we got married" etc. It's used so much on mumsnet.

My mum would say nuns on account of them being utterly sadistic cunts to her and her school mates while attending the convent in southern Ireland in the 60s. One of them broke my mum's thumb with a metre long metal ruler. When my grandma went to confront her she was unapologetic about it and even threatened my grandma about publically spilling details of her mental health battle and hospital stay.

I know Bussels. But it's every single day. Right down to what grandkid said to grandad and how many chocolate buttons it ate etc.
Every. Single. Day.

People who say 'I'm not being funny but...' before they start moaning about something.

Filters - someone I know looks like she's gone back 30 years in time on her profile. Looks nothing like that in RL.

Having to fill my car up with petrol/screen wash.

Attention-seekers

Ah right @cheddar. I was thinking of the ones who float about in their wimples collecting for charity.
Right, that's nuns added to my list then.

Yeah my Irish mum, uncles and Aunts were treated appallingly by nuns, priests and the brothers.

People who don’t indicate accurately on a roundabout. Why are you inmediately indicating left when you are taking the third exit you absolute joker!!!

Attention seekers

People asking questions on any social media when they should be consulting a professional

Yes yes to those wall decals bollocks
'home'
'cook'
'Bathe'
'happy ever after'

Martin Lewis!! I'm not sure why but I can't stand his smug face

That 'bedgasm' ad. Fuck off.

Fart humour. Not funny.

Any "hilarious" MN thread.

A certain family member that uses FB/Insta/Snap filters and tries to pass them off as natural.

And the people who encourage it by telling them they look amazing are even worse.

Martin is a family member of mine and is so lovely that he would apologise for upsetting you with his face.
He's really poorly at the moment though.

You look amazing hun 😘
