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?

People who talk about their anxiety like it’s the weather or something external that they have no control over and use it as an excuse for bad / arsey behaviour .

I speak as a sufferer of both anxiety and depression which is probably why it bothers me so much

Oh my Lordy yes about the sat / stood thing.
One of my best friends does it

An ex came to pick me up for our first date. I had only ever seen him in a suit at work. He turned up wearing stonewashed loose fitting jeans and trainers laced up really tightly with big loops. This was in 2001 so it was not fashionable. It really put me off but I gave him a chance and we went out for 5 years!
I agree that seeing someone's pants is really offputting.

And if you chew gum I can’t be your friend

Men with beards.

Laddishness in all its forms. Hate it.

How long have you got?

Here goes :

Tattoos
Bad Teeth
People (usually men) who use their height to intimidate people
Long nails on men
People who drink full fat soft drinks
People who pour crisps crumbs out of a bag into their mouth from a long, titlted distance like a friggin combine harvester
Forced girliness or faux horror

I could go on but won't

Since lockdown, every noise and movement my DH and DCs make me want to chew my fist off. I'm sure I'm delightful to them

even worse if it's a cell phone circa 1992 in Wisconsin

Grown women who talk in wee girl voices and ‘squee’, usually wear lots of pink too.
Adults obsessed with Disney/ have no kids.
Women who are ‘one of the lads’ because other women ‘don’t get them’ 🙄

Men who pluck their eyebrows, middle aged men who dress like Russell Brand before he turned into a hippie. Women who look every women they meet over in that head to toe, really 'assessing' way (judge me by me, not my appearance).

agree with your others too 🤣

The letter 'h' pronounced as 'haitch'. No, it's 'aitch'. Yet 'haitch' is said more and more these days, Why? It's sodding well 'aitch !

Oh also people who post ‘cleaned the kitchen today and organised the cupboards because my OCD won’t let me rest’

That isn’t OCD. My OCD makes me imagine pouring boiling water all over my newborns head, makes me plan the funeral of my children every time they sneeze and convinces me that I am the worlds worst person/mum and everybody knows it.

Adults who love Disney and/or musicals.

Or Harry Potter.

Men who are obsessed with the gym and their muscles. It's so sad because they're doing it to attract women, but it has the opposite effect on me.

Men who pluck their eyebrows. Not just the few stray hairs, but full on pointy eyebrows. Awful.

Men who wear trousers around their arse so you can see their bum crack. Ergh.

People who always cancel on you. So selfish. Equally, people who always have to be the one to choose the venue.

White socks! Enough said

'Fisting' cutlery. I don't know how else to describe it. But when I see a grown adult wrap their fist around a fork I immediately see a 3 year old learning how to manage cutlery and it puts me right off.

Yep also rage comes to me when folks think OCD is a cleaning disorder or makes you be controlling of people, it’s a high anxiety disorder for Fucksake and fuck all to do with cleaning!
