Unreasonable and petty things that put you off a person

NC, penis beaker, wailing michaelangelo etc

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?

Also “at the end of the day” “love the bones of her” etc type cliches

Women who refer to themselves as 'Mumma' (I don't even care about 'Mama' but 'Mumma' makes my skin crawl) and particularly 'Mumma Bear'. Especially when they use it in their name on Facebook e.g. 'Jane Mummabear Smith'

Some more have come to mind:
Budgie smugglers
The name Ian, sorry but I just couldn’t be romanticically involved with a man called Ian

Ian isn't a name it's a noise.

People who ask you to do them a fairly inconvenient favour and when you agree try to rewrite what just happened and try to convince you that in fact they are the ones doing you the favour.

(This happens when colleagues want to swap shifts, particularly people without caring responsibility who seem unable to comprehend that for many of us changing our planned work patterns after we've been given them and planned around them has a ripple effect of inconvenience, and what they think is "better" usually isn't. Tbh it's annoying to be manipulated this way anyway, even when not especially inconvenient)

I find adults being picky about food really off putting, to the point where I think I would find it difficult to be in a relationship or even be close friends with someone who just won't eat certain foods (not because of intolerance or allergy, before anyone mentions that). You're not 5 ffs!

People who talk about 'Mickey Mouse degrees'
People who vote Tory
Holding a knife like a pen
People who don't like cats
People talking in quotes from films/TV. Get your own jokes!

@ballroompink 'Jane Mummabear Smith' is too funny! I've never seen this on Facebook before, but am going to look out for it now. Extraordinary!

@lilstarr99 I agree with you, here's a treat for you 😂

Men with long nails and or manicured hands, its just a huge NO from me. maybe its me but I like a mans hands a bit bashed about?
People that talk on their mobiles in public, very loudly. Go outside I dont want to hear what your having for tea!
People that say "like" all the time seems to be quite fashionable to say it at press. It drives me bonkers.

Anyone who says that they attended the 'University of Life' or the 'School of Hard Knocks'.

People who pick at themselves; nails in particular but also hair and face.

Men in trousers that are too short and skim their ankles.

Anyone who posts photos of themselves thinking they're the epitome of cool because they're out drinking.

Anyone who says lil, or lil 'un.

Agree with silently seething at people who don't bother to wipe their children's snotty noses. Stop being so bloody gross and just clean them up!!!!
Also not cutting their children's fingernails, so they are long and get dirty underneath. Would you walk around with fingernails like that? No, presumably not. So why would you allow your child to be so unkempt!

Men wearing deep v-neck t-shirts. I don't know how that caught on in the first place, it's deeply a unflattering style for nearly all men.

Men with pierced ears. I don't know why but I hate that look. I have a really good friend, known him for decades and every now and then he'll turn up wearing a single diamnond stud in one ear and I can't stand it! I'll never say anything, after all if he likes it who cares but it makes him look so cheesy to me. He's very good looking (very reminiscent of Idris Elba) but if he's wearing that damn earring he goes straight from ''hot man that every woman is staring at'' to ''oh dear, nevermind''

The saying "cool beans"
People who say "hun"

People who use 🤷🏻‍♀️.

People who treat their pets like their children, especially if their FB profile picture is of their dog.

People who moan about being ill all the time. I have a colleague who does it and I actively avoid her.

People who pretend they are listening by offering "hmm"'s at seemingly right places despite eyes looking vacant who then go on a long tangent about something unrelated that you can tell they've just been dying to get to. Men seem to do this in a condescending way, usually when you've been explaining something urgent needing doing around the house...

Ian isn't a name it's a noise

This has really tickled me!

People who cover their prams with muslins

Anyone who 'announces' themselves as per their 'title'

eg: Hello, this is Mr Brown.....fgs.....just say Hello, this is John Brown...or whatever but it is often the first time i have encountered them and forever after I have marked their card as pompous twat

@LoveIsLovely it’s to do with my mum really.

I'm quite partial to a V neck t-shirt, especially if there's some chest hair visible.

shudders .. ihopeyourcakeisshit 😬

I'm not into medallions though.

A small cock

Clarice I completely agree! You can just say your name, we're all adults and it does sound pompous.
