Unreasonable and petty things that put you off a person

[touchtheceiling]

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?

People who have messy houses - ffs

People who don't wash their hair every day and have that morning smell

People who wear bobbly clothes 🙄 - bin them!

Influencers

Using social media to inadvertently brag

Women who pretend to be really laid back but we secretly know you're not.

Women who are totally over the top - 'OMG, HIYA BEAUTIFUL'. Purrrrlease!

People who write / say “I feel” instead of “I think”, e.g. “I feel like the answer should be 7”. I tend to interpret this as the general victory of feelings over criticial thinking in society.

Men who are over 35 and admit that their mother still comes to their home to do their cleaning and washing for them. And they said it with pride too 🤦🏻‍♀️

Men that keep the nail on their little finger long.

I noticed this when I was in Cambodia. Our tour guide had one long pinky nail finger. Then I noticed that many of the men did. It was for ear picking, nose picking...god knows what else picking.

I've never seen it on men over here though.

Right now? Just noticed all DH's icky habits that include the way he eats, talks, sits, speaks and breathes. (Am fighting temptation to do something about that last one , honest).

I can identify with so many of these! Men in sandals with hairy toes. Tilting the crisp packet to get the last crumbs. Full mouth around the whole bottle rim. My husband does all of these!

My biggest one is people that in general talk and not asking a question say everything (when the voice rises at the end of each sentence) as if they are asking a question. Drives me crazy!

Why do so many men see paying for their child as ‘giving that bitch money’?! God see men, not all men of course but about 40% of them are sexist creeps who shun responsibility

👆 People who pluck made up statistics out of thin air to justify their argument

People who follow celebrities or anyone they don't know on Instagram. I can't think of a more brain dead thing to do with your time.

I had a friend once who had 3 little boys. One time I saw her and the boys had been to their grandparents and she and her husband had had a night in a hotel alone for the first time in something like 8 years. I said "oh how brilliant! what did you do?" and she replied they stayed in their room and watched Britain's Got Talent. I never saw her in the same light after that!

People who stab food with their fork which they are holding vertically and people who hold their knife like a pen.

People who sniff endlessly. GET A FUCKING TISSUE YOU CHILD!

People who crunch and chew noisily.

People who use smug hashtags like #girlboss (do you realise how sexist you sound?!) #memories etc.

People who put their lives on social media. And post selfies. I could never date someone who did that - too desperate!

People with naff taste in interiors, music and clothes (I’m horribly superficial in that way but poor taste is a massive ick for me)

People who say ‘yourself’ ‘myself’ and ‘themselves’ when you, me or them will do.

Colleagues who have to carry out a post mortem on every work event at top volume and squealing about everything that was said at this event, be it a meeting or a night out. And this at the age of 40+

Anyone that says "sangwidge"

Bad manners are unforgivable.
Not holding cutlery correctly is painful to see.
People who eat while walking.
Decongest people who think they are superior for having nothing better to do than clean, clean, clean.

Oh yes, I always lose a bit of respect for people who follow brain dead celebrities or influencers Chicchic

Decongest?
I can't stand!

Men with ‘done’ eyebrows.
People who use ‘myself’/‘yourself’ unnecessarily. Eg ‘I sent the package to yourself last week.’
I know I’m being ridiculous but I don’t care. They’re on my shitlist immediately.

Ah x post @RoseLalique!

I interview people as part of my job and can never employ anyone who says "Haitch" I am worried I visibly shudder.

People who don't use their indicators - but that's probably not unreasonable or petty

Most of these, but one of the most off putting things is people with negative attitudes who just want to moan but not do anything about the situation.

Currently I am trying to help a neighbour who doesn’t want to go shopping ... I have offered various options, I will do it (& go to whatever shop they want), there is a good neighbour scheme, or there are lots of delivery services where we live ... but none of these are apparently acceptable, yes I appreciate it’s difficult but everyone is in the same situation.

@lakielady the pronunciation of garage, rhyming with carriage is British. Garage with a longer sounding ah on the second syllable is American.

@MamaJules34 you aren’t meant to wash your hair everyday because it’s not good for it and any good hairdresser will tell you the same! I don’t anyway.

People, women especially, who moan about how shit their men are and then end up falling pregnant to them knowing full well what they’re like and expecting sympathy from everyone else when shock horror, he doesn’t step up to the plate and have a personality transplant, some women know fucking better yet put themselves through a hard time.

Low self esteem constantly gets blamed on situations like the one I mentioned above and it’s a shitty excuse, you still have a brain whether you have low self esteem or not!

Massively insensitive to those of us who developed a kitkat addiction, got diabetes and now have 5% vision and on dialysis. Glad to see you all making light of something that has ruined my life'

😂😂

@TimeTravellersHat

Yes!! I posted in a local community fb group about people letting their very small toddlers run amok in our local park (very narrow paths, no chance of moving away if one comes towards you). I suggested parents use sling/pram/reins/whatever if they arent confident their toddler can maintain the 2m rule. I was met with a barrage of abuse by one lady who said I was 'judging' people, for all I know the kids could be autistic (all of them?! ) and I probably ruined their theoretical single mum's day with my filthy looks (all conjecture, who knows if the mums were single, and I didnt give anyone filthy looks), she then called me all the names under the sun and said she blamed my parents (one of whom I havent seen in many years, painful topic) before saying 'be kind'

All this because I dared to say that everyone has to maintain the 2m rule, even very small children. I have a small child and no garden myself so I understand the struggle but it seems feelings come first in life-or-death pandemics 🙄

Vain men (ExH Im looking st you)

Men with big bums

Men with long fingernails

Middle aged men who wear surfer type shell necklaces on a leather thong...just cringey. Admittedly don't see that so much nowadays

Performance parenting especially when they try to catch your eye in the supermarket so you can share in their little show.

Those facebook round robin things inviting you to 'light up FB' by sharing a photo of yourself, and the people that actually do it. It's just so self indulgent.

If your headlights have eyelashes we could never be friends.
