Unreasonable and petty things that put you off a person

Just wondered if anyone else can relate to this - I seem to be easily put off people due to very petty things in the scheme of things.

For example, last month I had to pick up a male colleague on the way to a work meeting. I had to go in his house to help carry some things, which meant going through his garden. He had washing on the line, including his pants. I don't know why but this made me lose respect for him and feel a bit embarrassed for seeing a colleague's pants (not sure if I was embarrassed for me or him). He didn't seem to notice though. He's in his late 50s and I really didn't want to see his pants under any circumstances!

Another was a guy I was seeing years ago. On one occasion he tried for a kiss and I wasn't expecting it, and seeing his lips pierced ready for a kiss when I was completely off guard just disgusted me. It put me off and I didn't see him again

Once something like this has happened my view of them is tainted. Is this a known thing or am I just an unreasonable cow?

Men that keep the nail on their little finger long. They’re just going to do bad stuff with it.

White trainers on a man (black is better)

Men that keep the nail on their little finger long.

What? whyy? Why would anyone keep one nail long?

Why would anyone keep one nail long

Coke spoon I think

Yes or rather no to whistling and men with long nails
Not keen on ponytails on men especially if they're bald on top 🤷‍♀️
Jeans with smart black shoes are a big nope
As are goatees
People who pointlessly use more complicated words than necessary to show how clever they are eg utilise instead of use / myself instead of me
God I could go on and on

Cocaine @chandleristhebestfriend

Nails bitten down so far that their fingers are sore and red.

People who say 'like' all the time.
Men with big bums.
Highly opinionated people.
People who talk about themselves the whole time and literally don't let you get a word in.
Materialistic people who think success is the number on your pay packet.
OTT mum Instagrammers.
People who lack basic manners.
Men who send dick pics!! Yuck, just yuck!
Men who pretend to be chivalrous and gentlemanly, but are actually being patronizing and sexist.

Grim. Thanks.

Women (it’s always women for some women) who are idiotically anxious about cleanliness/dirtiness and of the ‘eeeew’ sort of persuasion. I honestly think it’s the sign of someone who is really fundamentally thick.

• for some reason

The long nail is to pick their nose, pick out their ear wax or scratch their bum hole.

People who like crushed velvet sofas. People who call an event 'a do'. When someone says 'needs washed' instead of 'needs TO BE washed' or similar. People who wear loads of the same colour and think it's their 'thing' (I've known a few and they were all knobheads). People who say "you've got to do what you've got to do".

@paintedfences That reminds me of a girl I houseshared with at uni. She used to open the fridge door, look at my shelf and say "Ewwwww, why's there all this foreign food in the fridge! Olives, yuck!"

Agree with those saying whistling and adults who can pronounce/ write words properly choosing to use toddler words like "choc" or "chocie".

Also using the word "bits" - either for food or for shopping.

People who stop their car in a way which blocks the road in order to chat to someone walking, cycling, or in a car going the other way.

People who let their off lead dog run up to strangers and jump on them and make no attempt to control them and apologise, or let them bark endlessly, or let them get so far ahead they get into fights with other equally badly trained/ monitored dogs. These owners completely ruin beaches in autumn/ winter/ spring. I'm sure there are about a million more of this type of dog owner now than 25 years ago and finding out an old friend was one of them made me feel utterly and completely differently about her.

Painted fences...you are SO right. Usually thick women who like to “shame” other women

People who hold their forks oddly (with forefinger kind of sticking out doing nothing).

Women holding handbags in crook of arm
With forearm and hand at really odd angles. Looks broken and takes up too
Much room in crowded pavement etc (pre cv social distancing obvs)

Anyone walking along in public sucking down coffee. Just why ffs.

Women (it’s always women for some women) who are idiotically anxious about cleanliness/dirtiness and of the ‘eeeew’ sort of persuasion.

Lack of other hobbies. For lots of women they are restricted in what hobbies they can do due to needing to be at home with children and lack of disposable income. Cleaning is a very accessible hobby that has been made into something you can become an “expert” in due to smart social media influencers. Men, even if stuck at home, tend to do things/hobbies like gaming, DIY, or fancy cooking. Cleaning hasn’t been marketed to men as a hobby in the way it has to women.

Anyone who starts a sentence with 'Forgive me, but...' or 'Well I am sorry but I ..' Drives me mad.
Men who dress in horrible huge baggy shorts, white socks and trainers and a big baggy T-shirt.
Orange women.
Anyone in leopard print.
Goatees
Piercings and tattoos
Anyone who hums cheerfully
Axe instead of ask
Middle aged men in lycra and a helmet, riding bikes on local roads like they are on the Tour De France in gangs- I get an irrational rage at them. My friend is dating one and I can not like him since I saw him on his bike.

I really regret asking.

also - assuming that any misfortune in a persons life is due to some sort of moral defect - ie classifying someone as the 'undeserving poor' (looking at you, Boris) without realising that poverty, like poor health, like many other things, can simply be bad luck. So categorising people negatively with no attempt to understand why there are in that position - often this comes from a person with a privileged and narrow life view (looking at you, most of the Tory party)

I genuinely don't understand this sentence. What do you think 'undeserving' means?

Also using the word "bits" - either for food or for shopping.

Yes!

Always makes me picture a pile of broken pieces of something on a shelf.

Men who call their stomach their 'tum'

People clean AS A HOBBY ?? 😲

I can’t stand when women refer to their husband as “dad”, their mum as “granny”, and so on, or the same with men. I know it’s because they are used to saying it to children, but in the office it just sets my teeth on edge, plus it’s confusing - I once said to a colleague that her granny must be a really good age, given she’s in her late 50s. She meant her mum/children’s gran.

I also aversion a real aversion to when people say “cousin Jack”, or “aunt Jill”, instead of “my cousin Jack”, as if we are related.
