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.

I hate umbrella fold pushchairs with a passion. I get why people have them, I really do, but I just think they’re awful, whenever I see one I silently judge the person pushing it and I wouldn’t use one if you paid me. I know this makes me seem a bit unbalanced but there we have it.

Slobbery dogs slobbering all over me with their slobbery chops. Also the owners of said slobbery dogs who smile indulgently and wilfully ignore my obvious discomfort.

@CornedBeef451 definitely the hideous shoe/slipper things. I don’t mind the mini-burgers, but I’d rather have a full-sized one.

An ex of mine, who was v left wing, used to blog a lot, and they would address each other as 'fellow comrades'.

It infuriated me, amongst other things about him. He was vile.

The over-use of ‘amazing’ for things/people that are nothing remotely out of the ordinary.

Aliens landing in our back garden would be amazing. Ditto a white albino squirrel, instead of all the little grey fuckers trying to dig up my plants. A red squirrel would also be amazing, given that alas there aren’t any around here.

Thought of another one. Tv shows that put superfluous often really bad pop or rap music over scenes,sometimes with no relevance to the scene itself. You might as well have the actors start dancing and turn the whole thing into a music video.

I'll agree with a previous poster about adverts. Most of them are stupid or patronising. Plus every single programme (obviously not the BBC)being sponsored these days, even repeats,just like in the US.

Small dogs. Less an actual dog, more a fashion statement or accessory. Or 'handbag hounds' as I call them.

One of my favourite patronising ads is one for a firm who deliver ready made meals to, usually, elderly people, Parsley Box I think. It rambles through about the ease of these meals for someone living alone and then goes on to say something along the lines ofn 'and if you're having a visitor, use two packs', a real no shit Sherlock moment. How thick do they thiink older people are?

@JudgeJ

Can't say I've seen that one, but the Emma mattresses one annoys me. The woman jumping in the air. Do they supply some kind of drugs with their mattresses or do they have some kind of ejector button attached or has she just seen the price of them?
I think most adverts talk down to people though like we're all stupid or are just so saccharine it makes me want to vomit.

Yep. 'Mumma'. Bleugh! And people referring to themselves as 'Mumma Bear'. Also, women called Claire calling themselves 'Claire Bear'. Maybe bears just give me the rage.

James corden. He makes my flesh crawl. Every time I hear his voice. Absolutely ruined the Friends reunion for me. Every time that ad comes on the BBC showing an excerpt of gavin and stacey (cringiest thing ever to be produced), where they are singing the England footy song, my vagina and stomach do this simultaneous thing that just makes me feel like I've died a little bit.

Also adele's singing voice. Love her in interviews, seems like anlovely person, but my god her voice makes me want to rip my own ears off and feed them to a tiger.

I get this totally! I used to really fancy a guy who had the surname Hazell and he used to call himself Hazell bear . It actually disgusted so much and made me go off him completely!
