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?

Those stupid fucking adverts EVERYWHERE (except on my desktop where I block the bastards) for clothing websites all run by the same fucking scammers glowers at the Stylewe one at the bottom of this page

Autocorrect - hate the bastard and have turned it off.

My total inability to write and spell correctly any more on an iPhone without having to backspace a million times. The phone and screens may be getting bigger all the bloody time, but the keyboard seems to be shrinking! And no, I won’t turn autocorrect back on. I hate it.

@HeronLanyon

Yeah I do feel a bit bad abut how much he annoys me because I've seen him on TV and he seems very nice!

Any mouth- or nose- noises other than speaking, singing, breathing.

MondeoFan · 11/02/2019 13:09

I hate Brillo pads/scourers whatever you call them. Makes my teeth on edge.
Hate people spelling things wrong like "draws" Chest of Draws for sale etc
I also hate the smell of coffee.
I hate people that don't reply to invites. Is it so hard to say whether you can make it or not!

@Oysterbabe
People who can't sleep for no real reason. I'm amazing at sleeping and never get chance and there they are just not sleeping. They should each be allocated a baby so that the baby's mother can sleep.

Lolololol.I have chronic insomnia and only managed to sleep 2 hours last night,with medication.My children are 19,16 and 14.So I definitely am too old to start over but honestly YOUR IDEA IS A GOOD ONE.Even if you are a bit hostile against us insomnia sufferers.🤷‍♀️❤😊

At this moment....My washing machine that has decided to do a crazy fucking dance across the kitchen to let me know it has an uneven load!

I absolutely adore Chris Kamara. I always have done. He absolutely made my day once when he sat next to me on a 3 hour train journey and had me in stitches all the way. He really is a genuinely nice man. He even bought me a coffee when he was going from one for himself from the buffet car. 😍

Oh my goodness I giggled about the throwing up thing.My poor mom used to sound like she was hollering "Ralph" when she got sick when we where kids.We would stand outside the door and die laughing.We all laugh about it now.🤣😂

@HeronLanyon I think they should be locked up for using the terms FEDS alone let alone anything else’s they may be guilty of (too harsh? 😂)

JemSynergy · 11/02/2019 14:38

I can't stand it when strangers blow their nose really loudly in restaurants when I'm eating. Makes me feel sick especially if I can actually hear that it is a really snotty one.

Frickssake · 11/02/2019 14:54

Would of instead of would've. ETC

Bignosenobum · 11/02/2019 16:10

I loathe people whistling. Tapping metal cutlery especially forks on the worktops. Plastic on products, especially shrink wrap. Cellophane that crinkly noise. Barking dogs (have two yappy dogs lol). Bits in the bed - hubby's genitals excluded. mmm ..what else ...ball of wool over my teeth...

Bignosenobum · 11/02/2019 16:13

Herolanyon wtf people using multiple abbrevs...

Bignosenobum · 11/02/2019 16:14

The phrase "gobsmacked" it is so bleeding common. lol

Bignosenobum · 11/02/2019 16:15

People who speak and spell likethey are from the East End when clearly from Bucks...

Bignosenobum · 11/02/2019 16:17

Frikssake fitto. Loose instead of lose. Loose as in you have a lot of loose skin arround your scrotum. Or for fucks sake lose that baggy skin.

The lady at work (who is, generally, a real gem) when she goes on about ww and how she's been sooo bad and how she may or may not attend the weigh in (can't believe she pays to get weighed weekly). Then when our youthful colleague drinks full fat coke and crisps for dinner, she ALWAYS comments and tries to rope me into it...which I refuse. I just say let her enjoy her youth, it doesn't last long enough.
Also, folk holding in their coughs.....until they get to my row (near the door, sadly). It's fucking gross. I do not want to wear your lung or nasal linings. Disgusting.
Folk parking next to me.....when I've parked farthest from the store.

KHTeach · 11/02/2019 16:48

Loads as a teacher. My main one though is kids shouting Miss over and over

Blompitude · 11/02/2019 17:24

The EastEnders theme tune. I can't stand the drums at the beginning, and that clapping accompaniment makes me murderous.

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 11/02/2019 19:19

People on here saying "luffs". And "foof ".

Catamaran1 · 11/02/2019 19:28

Things that infuriate me more than they should

  1. When I'm vacuuming and i accidentally start sucking up the curtain, a lead or a plastic bag under the bed.
  2. When i park in the school car park when picking up dd from a club. There are plenty of parking spaces but some parents seem to think that parking in a space is just for other people and they just stop in the car park lane and wait for their dc, blocking in people who've parked as well as people who need to pass them. Bloody irritating.

I hate seeing people (usually women) wearing all black. It’s none of my business what they wear but it reminds me of my old workplace where, if you wore colour (but still smart, not dressed like a children’s entertainer), people would comment. To be invisible was to be professional.
