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.

People who “lay out” in the sun. Also, people who say they want to “loose” weight, not knowing the difference between lose and loose. At work, I get so annoyed at the sheer volume of people who write emails that simply say “thank you”. I understand they are acknowledging my effort, email, explanation or whatever, but my inbox gets cluttered with all the “Thank you”s. I think I just tired and cranky.

Nrtft, but come on to say grey fleecey jogging bottoms on men, where you can see their meat and two veg.

The word hubby or hubs or worst hubster

DH Dd DS etc on here even though it’s obviously quicker and been around for ages,just slightly annoys me even when I do it myself.

Couples saying “we’re pregnant” when only the woman is

And, very specifically, I ride horses and I really hate the head band things that teens/twenties horsey girls tend to wear around the yard to keep their ears warm, especially if they have a long blonde ponytail too (which they all do). These girls always seem to look the same and something about the headband makes me assume they are a right bitch which is awful because most are lovely and it’s obviously just a headband.

Girls posting photos with snapchat filters/puppy ears/hearts round their head and silly pouts. Makes them look insecure

People who take over the whole place wherever they are. I was in a food shop today with a one way system and small aisles and the whole time I was in there I was constantly walked into by a self important woman walking the wrong way up the aisles. She also kept parking her trolley widthways across the aisles so no one could get through whilst she rummaged through the freezers, then would look totally put out and shocked when I said 'excuse me' and she had to actually move the damn thing.

She took over all the space at the checkout too, then stopped in the doorway, right in front of me, checking something on her phone.

Totally self absorbed!

• Men who walk like they are carrying carpets
• Hearing people eat erghhh
• Stupidly slow drivers!!!!
• People who indicate last minute before turning
• Petrol stations that don’t restock gloves for the pumps (yes I know I should carry my own but I have forgotten the last ten times but it still annoys the hell out of me)

If I think of more I’ll defo be posting haha!

Snitches.

Those families with young children that sit at the table right next to you in a quiet cafe when there is plenty of other tables and spend their time performance parenting whilst subtlety trying to engage you in conversation with them / their children. "We will sit here and try not to disturb the woman next to us" "You don't want all your little sweets, well maybe you could share them someone, that would be kind wouldn't it." *Looks over in your direction to desperately try catch your eye.
I don't know you, you are a stranger, you are all strangers. My body language is set to 'sorry not today' so stop trying to engage.

The term reached out.. as in we have reached out to blah for a comment.
Also the cereal boxes thing and smeary glass or mirro

Tattoos,especially when men and women, have them covering almost all their bodies. as in all their arms, chests, and right up to their neck, and backs, they look gross, and if they had to go into hospital for a big operation, say a heart operation etc, the surgeons would find it difficult, to find the correct places for incisions,,and then some of the tattoos would get a bit sliced up and ruined.

Graffiti. I hate it. Anybody caught doing needs to be boiled in oil.

People who chuck a tantrum when I politely refuse to eat honey soy chicken chips (crisps), which I find utterly vile.

"What??? But they're honey soy chicken!"
"I know, and thanks, but no thanks."
"But -- they're honey soy chicken? Don't you like honey soy chicken? God, what's wrong with you? Honey soy chicken is the best flavour!!"

And so on ad nauseam. Give me a quiet corner and a packet of Kettle Originals and I'm a happy chappy.

Visible bra straps, especially the clear plastic ones...no love they’re not invisible, I don’t want to see your underwear.

I think it might be an underwear thing, wearing black/patterned underwear under white/light clothing. The front might be alright but they obviously didn’t check the rear view....

Cereal boxes opened messily and “incorrectly” so they can’t be closed.

@FizzyTarte, this is actually very rational. If cereal boxes can't be closed, moths get in, and then, yuck. I hate this too. I've trained DD to respect boxes.

Your instead of you're, although it's a rational dislike. If you are not sure which one to use, just ask yourself whether you're trying to say 'you are', in which case it's you're. If 'you are' does not work, it's your.

For example, when you're (you are) in the shower, don't forget to wash behind your (NOT you are, but showing ownership) ears.

Crocs
Selfie videos on FB...is there anything more attention seeking?
Gushy couple FB posts
People who passive agressively leave whats app messages unread. We all know you've read them
The seemingly new trend of people blaming any less than perfect behaviour on stress/anxiety/mental health, like they're the only ones who ever have a hard time in life
People who don't pronounce T's in words. It's not hard is it?

One way fucking systems in shops. They are pointless! I went to boots yesterday and they had 2/3 of the shutters on the front of the shop down and one very small bit open where people were walking right next to each other. They had isles blocked off at the end, shelves snaking a pathway into the shops and up to the tills, absolutely littered with crap. Just open the fucking shop up so I don't have to squeeze by other people standing browsing, and I can turn the other way!

Loud sneezers. Gives me the absolute rage.

Off to search up 'vocal fry'

This is my MIL with wine for me.

FIL/SIL/BIL: “Would you like a glass of wine?”
“Oh, no thank you. I’m good with my Coke.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m good thanks.”
MIL chimes in: “But won’t you have some rosé?”
“No thanks.”
“But it’s rosé!”

On and on and on...

I have never drunk wine with them once in the 8 years I have known DH! I don’t like it but MIL acts confused every time I turn it down.

The response 'so true' to some lame supposedly inspirational or thought provoking Facebook post.
Saying 'congrats' .
My neighbour's stupid little boxy car with perky little stickers and a flower on the dashboard. Sitting there in a stupid little vase. Pah.

Vertical blinds in houses (fine in offices)
Cyclists with a point to prove.
People who start putting their shopping on the checkout before you've finished putting yours on.

Have we condensed the whole AIBU forum to one thread?

I have another! When you're trying clothes on in a shop and you hear someone's mate come in and say 'Babe which one are you in?!'

You hurriedly cover up as you just know the curtain is about to be whipped aside!
