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?

Cold baked bean sauce on my hand.
4x4 drivers who can't handle the size of the car, get a smaller car that you can get round bloody corners and no, you do not need to drive down the middle of the bloody road.
Other people being in the supermarket when I want to shop, go away.
Groups of dog walkers, why do you have to get in a pack, walk 50 yards, stop, hands behind your backs and chat every 5 bloody minutes while about 10 dogs run amoke. That really does annoy me, keep walking.
DH not stacking the dishwasher properly also the decibel of his sneeze
Alex Salmond and I'm not even Scottish
Takes a deep breath

Really big, dramatic, I HAVE A NOSE HEAR MY MANLY ROOOAAAAAARRRR sneezes, where the sneezer sounds like they really want attention. But on the other end of the scale, I hate little girly baby sneezes. Where people give a tiny mouse squeak followed by a little "choo, bless meee". It just sounds so falsely little girlish. Please, just sneeze like a normal person. Provided you're being hygienic, you don't need to play act when sneezing.

@freezerbird wafty singers like Soak and Ellie Goulding grind my gears.

Also the phrases 'life hack' and 'adulting', ARGH!
YouTube video intros 'HI GUYS WELCOME BACK TO MY CHANNEL REMEMBER TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE...'

The radio being on so quietly in the car that i can't hear what is being played or being said. Either have it on normal volume or switch it off.

Polystyrene anything.
It squeaks like nails down a blackboard and makes my teeth itch.
The texture also gives me goosebumps and makes my hair stand on end!

People laughing very loudly in public. Nothing’s that funny.

I hate very unsymmetrical haircuts on people. They just annoy me! I know most hair cuts aren’t symertrical, but the Human League style very long on one side and short on the other. I used to bristle when that woman from Googlebox came on, luckily she’s changed it now. A school run mum has it and I hate walking past her! It’s truest odd! Maybe I had a bad experience with a new romantic in the early 80’s!

People who refer themselves as Mum or Dad to their pets.

People who use 'literally' all the time. I was watching a programme earlier and a girl on it said 'omg, I'm literally shitting myself' she wasn't.

Someone breathing near you... I don't want your smelly, recycled, sweaty, moist air!

Sloppy kisses

Long toenails

People walking too close behind me

My housemates boyfriend, can't even look at him.

"Partner In Crime", "work hard, play harder" quotes on OLD bios and any other cheesy line come to think of it... "just ask" 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Your, you're & you are, to & too aswell.

Shit eyebrows and terrible fake eye lashes.

Brussel sprouts

Bagpipe "music"

Touching a dry sponge

Having any catchy bits at all on edges of fingernails.

Watching someone cleaning their teeth or a man shaving.

Felt tips on carpet/sofa/bed.
Writing on hands. Tattoos

The placement of the bar code zappers on Sainsbury's trolleys - why didn't they out them further into the middle so I can control the trolley evenly by having my hands spread evenly? Pisses me off every time I have one and try to choose the ones without.

FIL scraping every last scrap of food on his plate - and DH does it sometimes. It's not the teeth-on-edge of 'fork on plate' but the repetitive sound of scraping to gather the food in one place from across the whole plate!

People who say 'haitch' instead of 'aitch', 'medcine' instead of 'medicine' but those a trumped by 'proply' instead of 'propERly'.

All the MLM type of "Mum boss" /Female empowerement/ I am so delighted with my life/let's slay today" utter drivel updates. I literally turn red reading this shite

The whole orange fake tan plumped up face ridiculous eyelashes and brows type of fakery. Horrible

People who call or text but then don't pick up or reply. Just no

Iain Duncan Smith

Esther McVile

Those hideous flip flop shoes with fake fur on in pastel colours. WHY?

People who spend hours venting about the selfish act of owning a car but forever need and accept a lift

Self service checkouts. Nothing depresses me more

People who touch you, however gently, to emphasise a point or get your attention, usually on the arm. DH still does it to me. After well over a decade together. Then acts all surprised when I get cross.

That American-style whooping that audiences do*. I am old enough to remember when we simply clapped or cheered if we liked something. Why did 'Whoo! Yeah! Whoo-ooo!' suddenly become preferred?

*I do not object to Americans doing it, though I still don't like the sound. It's their culture.

Men who cross their legs while wearing short socks so you get the treat of seeing a short, unflattering expanse of leg between the top of the sock and the end of the trouser leg. No one can pull off that look. Just buy longer socks, please.

Those spikey, several-styles-in-one short haircuts (very often dyed a bright colour) that many women get the minute they hit early middle age. They suit absolutely no one, are neither elegant nor trendy and, well, why? Yes, that is a shallow and unsisterly observation that shames me. But still I think it.

Tesco. Everything about Tesco is annoying. No idea why.

ChipButtyNotABap

The word advices. It's advice!

Except when it's not, like in insurance. It made me twitch to start with until I got used to it.

And frankly, it's not as bad as people using the noun advice when they meant the verb advise

(And I loathe the word frankly, can't think why I used it )

People who call me 'babes' - drives me insane.

People who stop dead anywhere. Normally in a food shop, or somewhere similar.

Fake things - like eyelashes, tan, shit tonne of make up, hair extensions, nails.

Show off's.

Ahhh, this is therapuetic

Coat hangers, nasty tangly bastards.

Cleaning that bit at the back of the toilet behind the hinges, what the fuck do men do to get it dirty (actually I don't think I want to know).

Keira Knightley.

People who hold their knife like a pen. Hideous, wrong, uncouth and it is always a certain type of woman who does it, rarely a man.
People who say haitch.
People who don't understand your v you're.
Not indicating.
I was sat. No, you bloody weren't unless soneone physically placed you there.
Autocorrect, because it often makes me look like a bellend.
Lefties who think they are so tolerant unless you disagree with them, when you suddenly become persona non grata.
Dogs that snuffle at your groin and jump up but 'he's only being friendly'.
Filters that make people look like they are wearing bunny ears etc.
Photos were women are doing a trout pout.
Friends who come and stay regularly but never bring a bottle or flowers or anything.
People who use an f instead of a th. I fink, I fought.

See autocorrect! I hate you.

When people say ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ when talking to people who don’t share the same mum and dad.

It’s ‘my mum’ or ‘my dad’.

Obvs I mean adults.

Going against the grain here with the loud sneezes but a woman in my class sneezes like a tiny mouse. Fucking pathetic.

I love hot coffee and iced coffee (Lidl’s little cups - not the monstrosities from coffee shops) equally but should my nice hot double espresso go cold in the morning because dc have distracted me. 1 gulp 🤮

Ice lolly sticks, wooden ones 🤮
On the same theme, people who suck Ice lolly sticks.

I have so many I will keep it brief. Brought as in... "I just brought this in Tescos..." NOOOOO you bought it. Also draws rather than drawers, made worse by adding Chester at the front. Ultimate for me... "I just brought these Chester draws from....." I find it hard to breathe just typing it
