AIBU to ask your irrational hates....

[Manth0914]

Is there anything that really shouldn't make you annoyed or that you hate but don't know why? I'll start, I hate those long coats that look like sleeping bags! I know its ridiculous to be annoyed by a coat, but... also people who talk into their phones but don't hold them to their ear. Aaaargh.

I hate those coats too.

And Ugg boots.

And TVs being on when nobody is really watching them.

I hate people that don't clean up after themselves. I'm currently in hospital.due to pregnancy issues and twice people have left their plates and discarded cups in the day room. It's really crappy behaviour and winds me up. Not sure if this is counted as irrational though.

Weather forecasts.

Particularly the bit where they review what the weather has been like today. We all know already, we were out in it!

Labels in clothes, seams in socks and bras in general, I hate them all irrationally. Bastards. Urgh.

Cereal boxes opened messily and “incorrectly” so they can’t be closed. Or any packets for that matter ... eg if theres a “proper” way with pull tabs like on washing powder boxes, but someone hacked at it instead so it can’t be resealed... I get disproportionate irrational rage.

I agree with most of these 🤣 especially the hospital mess, like they don't have enough to deal with! Hope you are OK.

High waisted jeans/trousers/leggings.

They can fuck off.

When a driver slows down to let you cross the road when it would be easier to just drive past and let you cross after. I appreciate they may be being courteous and aware of pedestrians which is obviously good, but I always feel awkward and just want to cross in my own time.

Cyclists waving me around them. I will decide when it is safe to overtake, thank you very much!

People who walk their dog in the same part of the field as me. I know I have no entitlement to that area but really, there's a field the size of 15 football pitches, why are you walking directly AT me?

People who keep walking straight at me all the time which everyone seems to do, I'm getting paranoid about it and sure I have some kind of a magnet implant in me.

Larvae coats! I don't like them either. First nip of autumn weather and it's like an infestation of giant grubs.

Are you sure you're not walking directly at them though

People who chew gum in public.Tattoos on arms or legs. The phrase 'Can I just say'.

I don't know if it's as relevant now, but a few years ago, My Little Pony was all over the internet. Obviously it is (or was) popular but it irrationally pissed me off no end. There was no escape from it!

People who don't wash their hands after eating or snacking.
I seriously can't stand sticky or greasy fingers so I can't stand when at work for example people are snacking on something and using a keyboard with the same fingers. I can only imagine the amount of crumbs or grease or stickiness on some of those keyboards... Yuck 🤢

if I fancy a pack of crisps or an orange, I'll finish eating it, wash my hands then get back to whatever I'm doing. Is this just me?

Cyclists.Im learning to drive and I hate driving behind them it over taking them,it makes me very nervous.

or not it

Tattoos & piercings

People who scream their child's name in public places instead of keeping them under control/going to get them.

People who are too scared to complain if something is wrong in a restaurant.

The use of the word "frumpy" to describe any clothing that's practical and comfortable.

Eating with your mouth open

Burping

Not washing hands after going to the toilet

Greg Wallace being on TV. He used to be a green grocer. Nothing against that you understand, at least greengrocers are useful.

People who ask for a brief précis when you send them a 10 page document. If I could accurately summarise it in a few lines I wouldn't have written 10 bastard pages. Read it carefully.

I love my almost floor length, puffy as a cloud, hugely engulfing jacket. It’s so so so warm. The only thing it isn’t any good for is striding out or climbing stiles.

I will not relent. It will keep me warm forever more. Unless I can afford a Canada Goose parka one day.

People who season food without tasting it first.
Ketchup.
Anyone calling me ‘hun’.

Now for my own irritations that to me are perfectly rational:

People who end a punctuationally and grammatically-challenged post with ‘rant over’.

Coffin or almond shaped acrylic nails. In fact any overly long acrylic nails. Vile. They’re always filthy underneath.

Poor spelling and grammar.

Teachers who haven’t got a basic grasp of spelling, punctuation and grammar.

People who vie for attention from random members of the public by showing off or speaking loudly. Just fuck off, they seem to be under the misapprehension that they’re clever or funny.

Herbal teas.
