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.

Middle aged men and women talking about how much they love alcohol and boasting about how much they drink/how it makes life worth living etc. So pathetic.

FB hospital check ins with no info and the “inbox me hun” comments 🙄

@phoenixrosehere
Thank you!

Fucking "Momma Bear"

"You go Momma Bear!"

FUCK OFF.

Women are not bears. We don't need patronising admiration for normal parental feelings.

Oh God yes! I have friends in their EARLY 50s who still get 'wasted' at weekends like it's 1995. Taking drugs sometimes too. These are professional people who own houses, cars, boats, have children, mortgages, businesses....yet still they want to snort coke now and then while the babysitter takes over. You're not teens! It's embarrassing!

I've slowly pulled myself from these people because I'm certain something's going to go wrong for them soon. The sad thing is that when they're not doing these things, they're warm and caring, fun people.

Trousers that hang so low on boys bottoms WHY!

I am more puzzled than annoyed by those. Not why, but HOW?!

If I put my trousers or jeans that low, they end up around my ankle in less than 10 seconds. What's the secret?!

(I don't want to wear them that way, I am just curious)

Yes!! My DS1 is at the age the do that sort of thing (not him thankfully! ) so I often see boys out with their joggers low slung. It's nearly always the really skinny boys, and I wonder how those joggers are hanging on!

The low trouser thing, so I was told comes from an American prison look. Men had belts taken away and trousers hung down and it took off. Could be made up crap but sounds plausible

the toilet roll put on the holder with the long edge going down the back instead of the front.

FortunesFave I wonder if it's the same couple!?

Some more-

1. Slurping tea
2. Oversharers in general. Some things need to be kept private. I have been told all manner of TMI matters which I could really have gone without hearing.
3. Loud and exaggerated burping
4. People randomly singing when you are with them.

People using a knife to scoop jam, marmalade etc from the jar, rather than a spoon.
Particularly if the same knife has just been used on butter.
It makes me want to perform a knife throwing act with the perpetrator as the victim.
😡😡😡

Hospital check ins on social media. There’s one on mine currently doing this. When asked what’s wrong she will either not reply or message (PMed you). Lots of pictures of hospital drips etc.

I demand to know what is wrong with you, you attention seeking twat !!!!
fully aware it’s none of my business but still

depends if you use a separate spoon or if you lick it

The use of Mom and similar instead of Mum.

I know full well that that's regional but I live in Devon and it's not Mom here!!!!

People who, despite knowing that the UK is a large place with regional differences, can't accept others language because they don't hear it where they live.

Why do you think everyone should be the same as you?

People who say the following phonetically

Jalapeño
Ciabatta
Gnocchi
Often
Bruschetta
Croissant
Sriracha
Açai
Bouillabaisse
Endive
Worcestershire
Lychee
And my absolute pet hate, scallop 😬

And Paella!

How are you supposed to say scallop?

People who put an 's on the end of brand names. Thusly:
'We went to Asdas'
'I'll meet you at All Bar Ones'
I have no idea why it enrages me so much and I can't put my finger on how it's grammatically incorrect. Obviously Sainsbury's is fine as it's J.Sainsbury. Wetherspoon'sis fine too as it's JD wetherspoon.
I'm torn on 'Tescos'. I think it makes me angry but not as much as Asda.

Students who refer to every component of their course as “lectures”. A lecture is when someone stands in front of an audience and talks without interruption on a subject. Yes, you do attend some lectures at university. I had 2 a week. And they weren’t compulsory components as it’s not the most effective way to learn. But the rest of the time I had seminars, a symposium or two, the odd colloquium, lab sessions, and good old-fashioned lessons. I did not go to university in the UK but my sister did. It was always “I’ve got lectures tomorrow” when she talked about university. If makes me cringe.

Tacky crap quotes such as " the most precious jewels I'll ever wear around my neck are the arms of my children/grandchildren " or some utter shit like that

Love you to the moon and back /love you lots like jelly tots 🤮

Crap ornaments /mugs/T-shirts' with similar shite on.

Lil man, lil Princess, bubs,hubby, hubster fam, famalam live love laugh signs in people's homes.

Those awful "feature" walls with clocks on for each child's birth with the clock set to the time of birth and all the details, name, weight . Ugh.

Frog taping stupid patterns on walls and painting them in garish colours.

Glitter on everything, toasters, kettles.

Grown adult women taking photos in pub/club toilets and plastering them on SM.

Another vote for "Mama Bear" and WORSE ... fucking Tiger Stripes for stretch marks " you earned your stripes.

Mums of young children that are so "woe is me" So tired, but I'm a mum, don't have any time for myself , I'm a mum. Don't have time to put make up on/brush my hair, because... I'm a mum. Never had it when our DC were little. Now it's all over the place.

The idea that obese women are " real women" ridiculous.

Probably loads more I've forgotten.

I'm pregnant and get irrationally annoyed when anyone mentions nesting! Fuck off, I kinda need to prepare for bringing a child into my home, do you think my DH gets these comments when he tells people he's painting the nursery or fitting the car seat?! Does he hell!

Obvious filters on social media where the poster changes their face shape or is radiating a weird inhuman glow. I also hate it when in a reel /or ad a model poses with their finger on their lips looking a bit dumb. I saw one for a lady applying fake tan recently and she did this to look ‘confusedly cute’ while indicating that you had to leave the product on for a few minutes before washing off. Bleugh!!!!

But nesting is a real thing....for pregnant women. It's misunderstood though and not all women get it. It's a sudden urge to clean etc and it happens right before labour. But not for all women.

That always fucked me off too. Put a cot together and you get ‘aww you’re nesting!’ patronising smile and head tilt.

I’m sure what people call nesting (and perceive to be some kind of instinctive hormonally driven thing) is actually just people being practical and getting shit done cos they know they’ll be knackered once the baby comes home. I cleaned the house because I didn’t want to come home with a baby and have to do it. I batch cooked food for the freezer as I knew I’d been too exhausted to cook. I organised his dresser so I knew where things were. Just basic stuff. That’s not nesting surely, it’s just preparing practically for having a baby?

DH did a lot of sorting out the hospital bag, painting the nursery, getting easy snacks in, washing and folding baby clothes. But nobody suggested that was nesting as it’s just a list of tasks you do to make life easier and less disorganised.
