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.

Lazy people

@Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel Surprisingly (maybe just to myself) I agree with and share so many of your peeves. Especially that disgusting habit of taping walls and painting them multiple garish colors! Ugh! And the tv shows that promote it as the height of modern decorating. blech!

@terrimom glad you feel the same!

Throwing rubbish out of car window but I don't thing that qualifies as petty. Its not on, you lazy dirty unthinking pile of crap, feel much better now.

@Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel

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.

When I was inside tattoo shop dropping a delivery, a lady came out and had the The most precious jewels quote on her forearm. I died inside on her behalf!

A special day for absolutely everything, what a load of utter bollocks.

Reports on utter shite, surveys on the bleeding obvious

@Ddot

MPs who say let's be clear, then say anything and everything without saying a bloody thing. My mam hates dunking, it makes her cringe. I love a dunk mmmm yummy

When MPs say 'look'.

I bloody hate it.

Restaurants that don’t serve food on actual crockery. I don’t want my dinner on a chopping board or a bit of log or a miniature frying pan.

Oh, people who say human instead of person - “my favourite human” - like they’re some kind of extra-terrestrial.

@freakyfridays

Women who take their shoes off at parties and weddings.

I'm a martyr to my feet and new shoes especially kill me.

So, when i got married, after all the church stuff and once we'd got to the reception, i wore my (new!) slippers.

Man alive, i was comfy!

People who pick up their wine glasses by the bowl and not the stem, especially if it is champagne or white wine.
Knives turned "outwards" so the blade is pointing away from the centre of the plate.
People who use plural verbs for collective nouns.
People who do not know the difference between less and few and when to apply.
People who install huge open kitchen/dining living rooms (with several TVs) and don't actually do any cooking.
Any American cookery programme that features mixing tinned or jarred or packaged or other ready-made goods together.
People who stick pre- before words thinking it changes their meaning to "something before the current status quo".
Incorrect pronunciation/use of Latin phrases.

@Aria999 some people say ‘skal-lop’ and others say ‘skol-lop’

I’m not sure which is correct though!

Some people have difficulty holding stems. I mean...it doesn't affect you personally.

Anyone over the age of three who uses yum, yummy, nummy or any such variation

I cringe so much

Slippers at a wedding, good for you!

Professionals (so called) who refer to ‘mum’ meaning my (or anyone else’s) elderly mother. Why TF can’t they say ‘your mum’ or even ‘your mother’?

Ditto x 100 when it’s over that mother’s head.
No, it’s not ‘cosy’ or ‘friendly’ - it’s bloody rude and patronising.

People (especially in supermarkets) who don’t pick their feet up, but go slopping along, scraping the soles of their shoes on the floor. When I’m a dictator it’ll be yet another reason for throwing people into rat-infested dungeons for a fortnight. 😈

Out with this beaut
Love this one etc. Awful.

😂 so ridiculous

People who are seriously intolerant about things that really don't matter very much 🤣

Use of the words "gifted" and talking about "styling an outfit "

Think of being gifted as a special educational need. It really is you know. It's not wankery.

They're the ones who lean on their trollies as they push them too. Down with them, I say.

I am guessing that 'gifted' here refers to its use as a verb instead of 'gave': 'I gifted them some new clothes', ets.
