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?

Yep.

Starting a sentence with ‘so’.

I was recently rather severely put off the husband of a good friend of mine. She and I were at a hobby-related gathering where other halves were invited, I ended up sitting opposite them both, and watched the dynamic between them. He was very much the dominant wears-the-trousers one, and she the submissive little wife. It was all done very quietly, and she just accepted the whole thing as totally normal.
A conversation I'd had with her some months before suddenly made sense - she'd mentioned that she'd been 'allowed' to buy a particular item. It had struck me as an odd turn of phrase at the time, but I'd forgotten all about it until I discovered what he was really like.
She's been married to him for upwards of 40 years as well.

People clean AS A HOBBY ??

Yes! They don’t call it cleaning. They call it “hinching” or “TOMMing” or “kondoing” depending on which current trendy method they’re following.

Men with short legs and long bodies (sorry, i know they cant help it)
Short men who rock onto their tip toes when talking to appear taller and more knowledgeable
Moccasins or brown shoes
Dreadlocks

People who take flasks of disgusting soup into a small office and inflict them on everyone around them.
Anyone who holds a knife like a pen.
Anyone wearing pyjamas and ugg boots as outdoor clothes, especially if accompanied by a dressing gown.
People who brag about drinking Prosecco.
Big 4wheel car drivers who only drive in built up areas.
Women with long, fake nails.

Anyone that uses an animal ear filter for selfies.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend it sounds so deeply unsatisfactory doesn't it? Who'd want to eat or buy "bits". It makes me think of broken, dirty, unappealing discarded parts of things too. Or genitalia...

Couples that called each other 'Dear' in a patronising way. I could scream!

Leggings as tights eg under a dress

Long nails on men, as in anything past a mm of nail. Don't know why, but it knocks me sick.

People who brag about drinking Prosecco.

People who drag about drinking any alcohol tbh. They sound like teenagers having their first underage drink.

*brag

I once want on a date with someone a few years ago. He smiled and stuck out his tongue between his teeth, sorta like how a kid would smile. I never saw him again, put me right off!

People that use smilies can't we get some new ones they look soo tacky!

Or genitalia.

Eww! Now I have different images on the shelf!

@alittlequinnie I thought the same until my then date, and now DH, rocked up with a handmade stylish umbrella and hold it to keep me dry. It sealed the deal. Ever the gentleman even 20 years later.

@morecoffeerequired I feel so bad for your friend, being trapped in a controlling marriage like that. I hope she is OK.

Men who drape pastel coloured sweaters around their shoulders. I still see it occasionally and could never date a man like that. Shallow I may be but yuk.

Men who accept (by email) I am not interested in seeing them either at all or again and sign off with Bub bye. Weird!

Those who write or vocalise 'sat' instead of 'sitting' or 'stood' instead of 'standing' when referring to the present tense - it is becoming increasingly common,absolutely appalling and sets my teeth on edge. Even professional writers and broadcasters are frequently making this error now.

Adults who love Disney and/or musicals.

People who drone on about how much they love gin/ chocolate/ prosecco as if it is a really unusual and interesting personality trait
People (sadly, often yoga teachers) who dispense condescending words of wisdom via facebook, along the lines of "it's ok not to be ok"

A grown man on a skateboard or scooter
Those shoes some men wear with buckles on the side
Those shoes men wear which are really long

Men in turtle necks. They just look like bond villains.

People who use the word cunt. I don’t even like typing it. I’m not against swear words but I hate, hate that word.

See I have issues with my other half for so many of these reasons but it so hard to actually say .”this makes you a tool” without sounding like a controlling harpie.
Nice to know that I am not mad and that my lovely bloke is in fact, utterly annoying.
