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.

MLMs and the “boss babes” that are trying to manipulate my broke 21 year old niece into earning (aka spending) money to be in their “hun” club

When people write ‘I was ‘led on the bed’. A few people I know write this and I cannot understand why. For some reason it infuriates me!
People trying to sell crap on Facebook and saying ‘need gone.’ Especially it said crap is a black bag of ‘cloths’ with no picture of actual contents.

I know a girl who is in her 20s and adopts a silly baby voice to get out of things. I mentally slap her everytime she does it. She is a very babied only.

So. Many. Things.

People who say 'lar-tay' when they want a latte

Should of. Could of. Would of.

Abit. Alot.

'licious' as a suffix to some foodstuff that was probably made at home using inferior ingredients and sold on FB groups

"This little man..." usually about a two week old baby. Ugh. Ghastly.

Another vote for fur babies. Almost always indicative of poorly trained and bad mannered dogs.

Also as much as I am fond of my dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs etc they do not come close to my actual babies.

When people say "can I get ..." in cafes or shops. No, you can't get it, you may have it. "Could I have ...".

White cars

"Naice". It's disproportionate yes but it makes me cringe every time I see someone use it.

How do you say latte? I say it how you hate it

Pets.

Brought instead of bought.
I be instead of I will be.
"Can I go toilet" instead of "can I go to the toilet".
Adding r sounds to words. Bath vs barth etc.

Anything twee when it comes to children/family etc. A friend used to post on Facebook "out with *** and small" - Small referred to their daughter. He continued this until his daughter was no longer the smallest in the house! I've never known anyone to refer to a child as "small"

Bubba, bubz, making memories, kids, bot bot. Any babyish names for animals etc - Horsey, doggy, piggy

Oh and boobing! "I boobed the baby to sleep". - not envy.

“Getting a toilet” instead of “going to the toilet.” (I’m a teacher. We hear a lot of “Miss, please can I get a toilet?”)

Should of.

Pacific.

Worst instead of worse. My DH and DSIL are terrible for this. (“It could have been worst..”)

Slow drivers.

you'd hate my accent

@Letsplough It is actually pronounced like Lah-tay. Not Lar-tay, The proper Italian way of pronouncing it is Lah-tay.

Although I pronounce it Lar-tay, and so do most Brits I think...

People referring to complete strangers as 'hun' on FB, "is it still available hun?" "Yes hun, have pm'd you hun" 🤢

• When pregnant women say "baby wants" when they want something to eat

• Fake eyelashes

• Lip fillers

• Unnatural hair colours seriously piss me off. Don't know why.

Sliders used to be called mules. I don't know why they aren't any more. Agree about 'furbabies' too. My cat is not a baby substitute, he's a smally furry predator who licks his arse.

“I’ll have ....” when ordering. Rude.
You mean “Please can I have ...?”

U OK hun?

.

Unnecessary vehemence. I have a colleague who does this constantly.
"Oh god, I do not KNOW how you can wear anything other than flip flops in summer, I can't BEAR it."
"Oh god, I don't know how ANYONE can lie in bed all morning, what a WASTE of a day."
And on and on. The energy to be that bothered exhausts me. I think a year of Zoom calls has exacerbated it hugely as I used to be able to zone it out while working and it was not quite as apparent. Clearly she cringes at my trainer wearing and laziness.

Cottagecore..... So fucking pretentious. It's not so much the thing even, but the fact it's given a name.

Instagram.

It screams "look at me and my fake life".

Men who wear shorts and t shirt outside when it’s blatantly freezing.
