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?

Can I just ask the veterinary nurse from page one or two... What animals have claws if dogs don't? I know dogs have dew claws but I never realised I was wrong in calling the rest of them claws, rather than nails.

People who get up very early and assume a moral high ground and air of superiority over those of us who are not early morning people.

Weetabixandshreddies · 08/02/2019 20:39

Also brushed aluminium cans, like deodorant cans or the metal banisters in shops, stations etc.

I can't bear how they feel.

letallthechildrenboogie · 08/02/2019 20:40

letallthechildrenboogie · 08/02/2019 20:47

Oh, and people who don't say thanks if you hold a door open for them or wait for them to pass you in a confined space.

SpanielEars070 · 08/02/2019 20:49

People who are stockpiling for Brexit.

Fucking bell ends

The reason we will have shortages is YOU.

LeadMeToTheChocolate · 08/02/2019 20:53

Conservatives.
But that’s not an irrational hatred.

Also, conservative voters.

LouH1981 · 08/02/2019 20:56

The noise of someone eating next to me 😡😡
When your knife or fork falls in the gravy on your plate.
People stood over me watching what I’m doing.
People who phone...what’s wrong with a text?
Really slow drivers - aaargh!!!!

LouH1981 · 08/02/2019 20:59

freddiemercury · 08/02/2019 21:14

Golf....and everything to do with it makes me shudder. and not because I'm a golf widow....I literally wouldn't have married DH if he'd been into it!!!

Teagoanngoanngoann · 08/02/2019 21:16

When a certain someone in my house leaves a mouthful of tea in the cup then scrunches up the biccy wrapper and throws it in the cup with the dreggs of the tea!....aarrgghh Angry

Unfinishedkitchen · 08/02/2019 21:20

The kind of couples who say ‘we’re pregnant’.

People who love Friends. I’m sorry but it makes me think less of them which is irrational I know.

The word nourish.

People who do things really slowly and deliberately e.g. you’re in the queue behind them and they slowly and deliberately take out each item out of the basket.

Then they wait for everything to go through the checkout before deciding they have a bag for life somewhere so slowly take it out and unfold it. They don’t put the items in the bag at this point.

They are then surprised that they have to pay so they rummage around in their bag for their massive purse and slowly unzip their massive purse full of cards and eventually choose one. They also have some sort of money off coupon.

They then wait for the receipt and slowly and carefully put the receipt and card back in the purse, zip it up, put it slowly in bag.

Then they put each item of shopping carefully and slowly in the bag and ask some sort of stupid question to the cashier. They then arrange stuff a bit whilst still standing in front of the till so nobody else can get in there and eventually shuffle off. Slowly.

It makes me so mad!

DontCallMeCharlotte · 08/02/2019 21:22

freddiemercury I can't bear golf clapping (by the crowd) - it's all muted and weird and makes me cringe.

stroan · 08/02/2019 21:26

My neighbours who have decided the visitor parking spaces are their own private spaces. Buy a house with enough space for all your vehicles, idiots.

We rarely need the space, our visitors mostly park on our drive so it doesn’t affect me in the slightest. But i get FURIOUS at their sense of entitlement and general twatty behaviour.

I'd agree with the loving Friends thing if it's the ones who bang on about how much they love Friends in 2019

Yes I'm like Hmm

People who have a nostalgic fondness for Friends because it was part of their teenage years - fine

People who want to go to FriendsFest, own merch and decor, watch it, want to play the board game socially

Grow up and get some current interests!

olbndansmummy · 08/02/2019 21:28

So many I agree with but here goes:
Fearne cotton

Spiders
Ungrateful drivers just acknowledge it takes half a bloody second
Cold callers fuck off and leave me alone
Dirty nails
Pushy parents living through their children
Iggle fucking piggledy stupid blue wanker
Holly Willoughby
Just a miserable old bat me

FuzzyPuffling · 08/02/2019 21:36

People starting a sentence (every sentence) with "so". It is everywhere and is a recent horrible thing. Just stop it. It adds nothing.

Goingovertosusanshouse · 08/02/2019 21:38

Mouth breathing,
Loud eating,
People who stand too close,
The smell of your clothes after someone has microwaved their soup in the shared staff area,
A colleague who actually reads my texts as they come through,
Hinch shit,
Adulting, boobing etc,
Instamums who ‘deserve’ everything and work so hard!
People complaining about the flex appeal campaign who have always worked for themselves and have not had to get back into a position within a workplace after having a baby.
Mental health ‘experts’
Self care being thrown at us by people who actually have time to do it. I don’t! Going for a wee in peace is heaven. What is this self care business anyway?
I dislike most things and most people!

Baileyswithice1 · 08/02/2019 21:39

People who skip queues!! In my experience, it’s mostly pensioners who do this. Like they have some sort of entitlement??!! It also really annoys me when I’m standing in a queue and someone come and stands beside me!! I mean, so they not know how a queuing system works 😐 get behind me ffs!!

I also cannot deal with noisy nose blowers. Especially in the workplace when I’m on the phone and Mr noisy beside me is blowing that hard I’m surprised his brain is still intact!!

Also... people who invade my personal space and people who breathe really heavily...like there’s a full scale gust coming from their mouth with every breath 🤮
