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?

The latest thing where when you're checking out... they say, 'can I have your email address so we can email you the receipt'

This has happened when I bought a shirt for DH, when I bought a pot plant, a dress, all manner of shops.

When they say it I want to scream do you think I'm stupid, this is just so you can bombard me with tripe and clog up my email inbox. Just give me the effing receipt like shops used to be

I don't say that, but I do say... 'I'm sorry??? Why would I give you my email address? Don't you do paper receipts now?'

I know it's petty. I can't help it.

Netflix asking if I'm still there in the middle of a binge watch - so what if I'm not? Just play the bloody programmes I'm paying you for.

Tattoos.

Some tattoos are unique, clever, and meaningful works of art.

The other 99.9% are utterly ghastly and look awful. I often look at pretty young women who have defaced their beautiful skin with tattoos and think ‘oh dear, what a shame...’

Fitted wardrobes. I fucking hate them.

Bit mad but I hate people eating crisps near me. I hate the smell, texture, everything - especially salt and vinegar or anything cheese flavoured. And when they tip the bag so the last few crisps go straight into their mouth I'd never say anything to someone eating crisps near me 'cos I know how unreasonable it would sound but it makes me cringe so much.

The Grammarly adverts that play before the majority of YouTube videos I watch. I don't know why but they just wind me up so much.

Ugh, I hate the baby thing too. It’s the baby. Or your baby. Or he or she. Not just “baby”.

I have no idea why that irritates me so much.

Also, I detest the use of the word “boob” as a verb. The word “boob” full stop is not great but as a verb it makes me grit my teeth VERY hard.

Almost every day as I'm getting out of my car I grab my bag from the passenger seat and practically EVERY DAY the bastard strap catches on the handbrake or belt buckle. It makes me so angry I end up yanking my bag playing tug-of-war with my car....every day.

(I also HATE when people don't close a bracket. I feel like I'm holding my breath while reading the rest of their post

When people say month instead of months. For example, 'my son is 5 month old'. Urgh. I hate it.
The sound of paper being pulled along carpets. It makes me physically sick.

) It's no good, I had to close it!

Ribbons on luggage.

Get the same boring black bag as everyone else and tie a manky bit of red ribbon to the handle, just like everyone else.

It is not a clever way to recognise your bag as half the idiots on your flight have done exactly the same thing.

Use a bloody luggage tag.

People saying "we was" or "there is some"

What's wrong with 'there is some?'

There is some milk in the fridge
There is some cheese on the table

False eyelashes

I really really hate going swimming and putting my bare feet on the changing room floor. All I can feel is small pieces of grit, hair, and god knows what else.

It repulses me so much that I have to wear swim socks to even consider going swimming these days!

Kate Garraway,people walking slowly in front of me(fucking move) and when the plastic inner film of a bottle of milk

Grace in Peaky Blinders ..... urrrgggghh

Also hate the word pimp used as to improve 'oh I'm gonna pimp this salad'

Barf

doesn't come off in one go

(Love threads like this)

Black clothes. Show a bit of bloody character. There is simply no excuse to be dressed from head to toe in black clothes every day. In the city nearest where I live, you could open a shop selling only black clothes - preferably shapeless, and be a gazillionaire in two minutes.

Over-exaggeration. (oops)

Having to accept cookies all the time. Pisses me off

The word meal.
Chewing sounds of any description.
Snot sounds of any description.
The MN word/phrase “ragey” and “the rage”.
“Needs gone” shudder
Any of the interchangeable orange, buff, luminous-toothed personality-voids from Love Island, Towie etc., particularly if they turn up as a “celebrity” on the celebrity version of another show.

Perfectly square ends of eyebrows.

Actually, no. I don't hate them.

But I do struggle not to point and laugh.

People who blow their nose in a tissue 🤢 makes me want to vomit every time!

Catching the belt hoop on my jeans on the door handle when I'm rushing past. That gives me serious rage 😤

My dh farting. Makes me want to file for divorce every single time I hear it 😡

When people want you to confirm what they are saying by saying no? at the end of their sentence.

"Her hair looks a complete mess - no?"

"The government is a complete shambles - no?"

There is absolutely no reason for me to feel so irritated - and I can't even decide if it's just the use of the word no? instead of isn't it, aren't they etc, or if it just annoys me that they can't just fucking tell me something without stopping every two minutes for my pointless input.
