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?

Wet bread, especially in the sink, yuk yuk. Oh and those pull up tops on bottles x

Furbabies.

Handling hot paper out of the photocopier or printer.

People who don’t give way in cars when it’s 50/50 and refuse to move! I was in excruciating dental pain 2 days ago when a woman flew round the corner on my estate and we were both stuck between parked cars. I shunted forward and back several times to accommodate her getting past me ( she wouldn’t even mount the kerb slightly ) In the end she drove past shaking her head at me and looked at me like I was dirt!. A rage came over me like never before...... It took me a full hour of retelling story to people and plotting revenge before I calmed down.

High winds especially at night

I love this - and massive thunderstorms - when I'm snuggled up all warm in bed.

The foil being left on milk carton or instant coffee jars .
Def in aaaately .

Sniffing in the office or public transport (anywhere where I can’t escape from).
Rain getting on my glasses.
DH lecturing me for being messy but never putting anything away or putting things in the bin.
DH having baths that make the bathroom walls look like a sauna.

Really hot baths.
Slow walkers- especially those staring mindlessly at their phones at the same time. You wouldn’t walk on the street/up the stairs at a station etc. reading a book so why the hell would you gawp at a phone?!
Cars and bikes not indicating- use your bloody lights/ arms- I’m not psychic FFS.
I’m sure I’ll think of more shortly...

When someone calls my work and I tell them the person they need is just on the telephone at the moment and then they ask how long they'll be....

UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNABLE TO REACH FOR THE CRYSTAL BALL I KEEP IN MY ASS WHILST HOLDING THE PHONE BUT I'LL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

Makes me mad.

People who drive at 10mph below the speed limit continually.
People who say they “reached out”.
“I reached out to Fred for his opinion”.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

People who pronounce mischievous thus: mis-CHEEV-i-us.

It's bloody MIS-chiv-us you morons. Look at the word ffs - it doesn't even remotely resemble the way you're (mis)pronouncing it. Twats.

People who say I instead of me. WHY?

Comic Sans font. I cannot read it. I physically can’t do it!!

Belly buttons - they make me ill.

I also have a real thing about belly buttons. I can’t bear mine being touched. Unfortunately I’ve just had a nasty wound infection following laparoscopic surgery... yep, in my belly button. It was traumatic!

Fenella - I feel your pain!

It makes me physically sick to have mine touched (or even spoken of - I''m heaving even as I type).

The worst was when I was pregnant with DD, and it turned inside out and rubbed against even item of clothing I had (with the possible exception of socks). It was horrific!

* High winds especially at night*

I love this - and massive thunderstorms

Me too iklboo - I luffs a good thunder and lightening exhibition!

I cant stand velvet clothing it makes me itch

Thought of loads more..

People who think their driving a tank and can't park their Nissan micro for shit!

People who correct others spelling and punctuation. You can read what it says. know that it's probably a autocorrect mistake so why feel the need to point it out! You can read what it's suppose to say otherwise you wouldn't of been able to spot the mistake! So why stick your nose in thinking your all pompous! GOD I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!

Oh and people that take their dogs to cramped places like car boots or markets! Wtf is that?!

People who stand behind you and look at your computer screen when you are working on it.

The Labour Party and Labour voters.

People who insert the word 'like' into their sentences - every other word it seems!

'Can I get' in cafes, and 'enjoy' when being served food.

People who cannot use apostrophes correctly, and bad grammar.

People on quiz shows who say they cannot answer a question as it was 'before my time'.

Ant and Dec.

Katie Price and her various husbands/boyfriends/children.

Bad grammar; to / too / two, your / you’re, there / their / they’re. I know it’s totally irrational, that many people can’t help it (one of my dc is dyslexic), and that it doesn’t matter in the scheme of things, but yeah, it bugs me. And transposing our and are, I just don’t get it.
General bad spelling though? Doesn’t have the same effect.

Sloths - can't stand them. Creepy bastards.

I like Grace Dent. I like how in her Guardian photo and on telly she doesn't feel the need to smile and giggle ingratiatingly like so many women do.

She's very funny as well.

Things that fuck me off are legion but include:

People stopping dead at the bottom of stairs/escalators to gawp at their phone. MOVE.

yourself/myself as in 'Come and find myself when you've finished.'

Liz Kershaw.

'Can I get...?'

Uggs worn in the wet so they're all claggy and wet at the bottoms.

loose as in 'Want to loose weight?'

plinkplink
Nooooooo my dd adores sloths.

Aw no, I love sloths. Maybe because I can relate to the whole slow moving, eating all day and never really doing much of anything lifestyle!

When companies, shops, magazines etc, use the singular version of things that come in pairs. Sounds petty and ridiculous but it just gives me the RAGE. A red lip, a skinny jean, a smokey eye, a smart trouser..... but I saw the absolute worst one yesterday, a shopping centre advertising a "free panty with every bra purchase". A panty!! I actually felt physically sick reading it!

@Dawn96, my boyfriend from my teens, who was also controlling and just not very nice, wore aqua di’gio (sp?) aftershave. It still makes me feel queasy to smell it on anyone now!

Bag pipes they make me feel physically sick
