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?

My brother is 5ft9 with size 6 feet and I would say his arms do look quite short!

People who put their phone on loud speaker and have a loud conversation that everyone can hear whilst looking around to see who is watching them. People who constantly hum, whistle, sing the same song over and over and don't realise how annoying it is. People who chew the same piece of gum for hours, loudly. People who feel the need to fill a silence with inane shite talk, it's ok to be quiet occasionally big mouth. People tapping the keyboard before they start to type. Men who spend far too much time pruning themselves FFS

Oh yes and people who hold their phone horizontally in front of their mouths, on loudspeaker.

People who go on about their ancestry, thinking it makes them more interesting. Annoying.

People who say bang out of order. Stop using sound effects in sentences! You are not in Batman.

Our postman does this. It annoys me as it’s always when DS is asleep in buggy, but also
because it makes no sense to not use earphones as he needs his hands!!!!

Rude people who 'just tell it like it is'

Spelling mistakes.

Tattoos. Aargh.

Tattoos of flowers on the feet annoy me. I don’t know why - I don’t mind tattoos usually!

Adults who still use toddler grammar for example 'I've got to go doctor's' or 'I've got to go Asda' it infuriates me. Use prepositions FFS. I once interviewed a very promising (on paper) candidate but the moment they used toddler grammar I mentally showed them the door.

Christ, my MiL does this and it's so grating. She does it it front of our young children constantly and I always correct her loudly and cheerfully, like an overzealous preschool teacher. "Oh, you need to go TO the doctors do you MIL?! What a shame!"

You are not in Batman.

Yes yes to men with short arms and big bums!!

@peaceanddove I don't do the toddler grammar, but think it is a class and/or education thing to some extent. If your parents and friends talk that way, you are likely to get into the habit of talking that way.

Men who dye their hair. Men who dye their hair and have long finger nails. Fungal nails, especially in flip flops. Bad breath. The minute I smell it I have checked out of the friendship. I'm that shallow.

That toddler grammar thing seems to have appeared over the last decade. I knew no-one before then who adopted it, here in the Midlands but now it's rife. People "go town", "go shops and pub". It's bloody horrible!

I used to have a boyfriend from the Midlands about 20 years ago and everyone there spoke like that. I think it must just be a dialect thing.

It's like people on here always complain about "can I get" but it's totally standard in Scotland. "May I have" sounds really contrived to me.

1. people mostly men who eat with their mouths open.
2. people mostly men who talk over others mostly women
3. people mostly men who pick their nose
4. people mostly men who won't shower daily
5. people with bad/dirty teeth (and bad breathe)

......now with Covid 19

1. People who cough/sneeze and won't cover their mouths/nose
2. ... People who STILL won't wash their hands properly!

Over and out !

Selfies aggggghhhhh I know what you piggin look like, every bloody day.
"Evidence" of kindness.. Chantelle delivering flowers to the old people, Levi helping the flood victims ( 5 pictures/poses attached)
Men wearing ear rings/jewellery apart from wedding ring
Hairy chests
White socks on men, who aren't doing any sport
Dirty fingernails
Shop staff chatting to their bezzy, when you just want to pay and leave.
Any adult who "games"
Incorrect spelling of anything
Bad manners
People who won't catch covid-19, they've had the flu
People pushing past & not waiting til their 2 metre zone is clear whilst shopping.
People who enjoy cleaning
Getting "chatted up" many years ago, asking If I want a drink, then takes a handful of silver, counting if he's enough!
Burping out loud - happily never speak to them again
Not a fan of swearing
People rude to waiting staff
Ignorant, but doesn't know it, racist, sexist etc
Uneducated, talking louder or swearing, or just embarrassingly thick, with no self awareness of their lack of education/thickness.
Adults on mobiles, completely ignoring their children
Mobile phones during meal times
Not using your knife and fork in the correct hands
CHILDREN'S REINS... NEVER, EVER, emotive, but very strongly opinionated on this family, friends, dads, mums, potential dates, my boss, new, old, prime minister, president etc. I could never date anyone who would use these. Hold their hand, TEACH them to hold the pram.

I did have to wait my turn and read 793 messages, so I thought of more whilst trawling, some slightly off tangent, some bordering hysteria

"That toddler grammar thing seems to have appeared over the last decade. I knew no-one before then who adopted it, here in the Midlands but now it's rife. People "go town", "go shops and pub". It's bloody horrible!"

I have no idea whether its a dialect or not. An old school friend of mine lives in Liverpool and has done most of her adult years. However, she grew up in a different country. She frequently posts on FB about 'go town' and other phrases similar to the above. At first I thought she was in a rush writing and didn't look at what she had written before posting. Then I figured she must have really poor grammar. I realise now that she is indeed writing in toddler language. It is very odd because she didn't grow up in the UK and must have decided to adopt it deliberately although I suspect its more from laziness than anything else.

"CHILDREN'S REINS... NEVER, EVER, emotive, but very strongly opinionated on this family, friends, dads, mums, potential dates, my boss, new, old, prime minister, president etc. I could never date anyone who would use these. Hold their hand, TEACH them to hold the pram. sad"

How the hell is it your business? If people want to use them it's not hurting you in any way, nor is it hurting the child so who cares.

@YesThatIsMyRealName Could I remind you of the title?

Unreasonable and petty things that put you off a person

Unreasonable , petty - AKA Having a sense your opinion is personal, not reasonable & acknowledges it's petty.
There are thousands of people who use reins and are perfectly happy to do so. I think they are HORRIFIC, AWFUL, ETC It is my pettiness.
You would fall under point 19, for utterly failing to read properly the reason for the posts and then failing to recognise, you are perhaps the only one, who felt they needed to challenge my post. It's not a debate and whether you agree matters not one whit!

People who think they are the first person to every have a child who talk about / post about them endlessly (yes everyone feels the same way about their own DC - yours is not 'more' special)

Couples who overly gush to each other on social media (just talk to each other?)

Holding a knife like a pen.

Loud braying posh people with no self awareness who have no idea how privileged they are, or that they are not better than anyone else just be because they were born into a well off family.

#blessed #family # pretty much anything

Anyone who tries to tell me giving Dyson money for reinventing ventilators wasn't a bung to a Tory donor.

People saying they are going to "boycott China!" whilst posting on their smart phone, wearing knock off designer gear or Primani and swishing fake hair that took 14 days to deliver. They might as well say they are going ethical vegan.

@BlueStocking007 Oh I just thought of another thing to add.

People who take shit way too seriously and are really self righteous.

Thanks.
