Pet Hate - what makes you Cringe?

[marton4710]

For me it is the habit of drinking out of bottles. Everywhere you go people are swigging out of bottles. Had a bank appointment and even Manager was drinking out of a bottle. Agh I must be getting old. Give me a glass any time.

People telling their baby ‘oh look it’s a moo’ etc.
It’s a cow!!!!!

When I call a company and I haven't even given my name and then they ask "what WAS your name?" instead of

"what IS your name please? because I still very much have it....

I have a physical reaction to anyone who says 'I boobed the baby to sleep' or any reference to breastfeeding, called 'boobing'. Its horrible. Also anyone who refers to their husband as 'hubby'.
There are so many other thing but they are the main one for me!

Just makes me think of 12 year old boys writing BOOBIES on a calculator and sniggering.

No idea why fully grown adults would use this word.

Saying LIKE all the time.
Not pronouncing enough so I can get what you are saying.

@Cuntryhouse

People who say, "myself and ...". You know what I mean.

This. Yes, THIS!!!

@MissKeithsNeice

People who use their vocal cords when sneezing. There is no need. Bonus points for actually say achoo.

err.. my sneezes do come out as achoos... especially if they surprise me, not deliberate I assure you.

I can't bear cups/mugs that don't have white insides.
Currently in a holiday cottage with black mugs that have white insides... just about bearable, not very keen, china is a bit too thick.
Have bought a lovely mug recently that is white bone china with a brightly coloured fish on the bottom - I like that one.
Can't drink tea from a mug that has coffee written or pictured on the outside, and vice versa.
Some mugs are definitely coffee /tea or chocolate only, regardless of the picture.

Watching my my ex-wife eating, she eats like a dog :-)

Any sentence ending in "..., no?"

I can't explain why, but it makes me almost physically recoil. In my mind's eye, anyone ending a sentence in that way has the most insufferably smug face.

"Could of", "would of", "should of" etc....
Pronouncing "ask" as "arks" or "ax".

I absolutely cannot stand it when people post pictures of their plates of food. Showing off about what you've cooked is one thing but taking a mobile phone out in a restaurant to take a picture just makes me cringe. (especially when I'm with them!!)

Random, meaningless Capital letters. And brackets with superfluous spaces within them ( like this ).

People being interviewed that respond "that's an excellent question" - just fucking get on and answer it.

Adults using the word 'tummy'.
Dishes in the sink.

Omg, how long have you got? 😄
I’m such a narky cow 🐮 LOADS of things irritate me. Maybe some contributors on MN can add ‘my pet hate is people who write long boring lusts 🤣. Here goes: (in no special order):
People:
who stand chatting in doorways
Who say ‘I’ve rang’ ‘I’ve wrote’ ‘was you’ ‘I were’
Who say ‘between you and I’
Who don’t say please/ thank you
Who cut their bread roll instead of breaking it
Who are loud in public places (empty vessels make most noise)
Who ‘cadge’ and ‘skank’ at every opportunity (being tight-fisted not quite the same)

Also I can’t stand whiny, feckless, irresponsible lazy people who think the world owes them a living.
I could go on and on but your eyes are probably glazing over by now 🤣🤣🤣

Similarly, beginning a sentence with 'So,...'

Correction: ‘lists’ not ‘lusts’

People who make a statement sound like a question by raising their voice at the end of the sentence.

Love them/you/him/her 'to bits'. For some reason I really despise this phrase. Unless of course it's used in the context of breaking something into bits!

I love this thread. I agree with almost all of your pet hates!

Hubs

Cotton wool.

Stacey Solomon / Joe Swash / Towie people/ love island / goggle box / big brother peope talking in a really slow voice and saying stupid things pretending they don't know stuff. Makes me rage . They think it's cute / funny/ makes them popular?? I don't know
When they say " oh I thought Wales was in America " that kind of thing .

Anyone who puts down someone’s grammar. In reality it hugely highlights their ignorance of learning disabilities yet they think they’re being superior! The irony is unbelievable.
