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.

Everyone seems to be "calling out" one another. And if they are not calling them out, they're "reaching out". E.G. I reached out to Sandra because I had to call her out. I swear I hear one or the other about twenty times a day.

Nearly everything on Facebook.

I have hidden so many people for cringe inducing shit, I have very few friends on there now and one of them is on a final warning with a recent ‘hun’ post.

I really don't like dandelions. Unfortunately my garden has seen an explosion of them in the last few days.

Dandelions help the soil plus feed bees! They are also so nutritious!

Selfies
Checking in to places on SM
The phrase making memories
Pictures of food on SM
Calling children kids

I really cringe when contestants on Bargain Hunt start screaming and shouting and getting SO excited at a £2 profit! I wonder what they think when they watch it back.

Noisy eaters/eating with mouth open.

Being asked to do something. ( no problem so far) then, after a slight/awkward pause, an added please.

Sometimes in combination with sort of passive aggressive style of request.

‘Would you like to close the window’ rather than ‘can you close the window.’

’

‘You okay hun?’

Facebook
Whole paragraphs on MN using strikethrough - I skip them.
Invite used as a noun as well as a verb.
Apostrophes used to pluralise names.
Lots of the ones already listed.

People saying ‘baby’ instead of ‘the baby’. Urgh.

I don't like this either. Also don't like it when people talk to me about 'Mum and Dad' meaning their mum and dad. They are yours, not mine, nor are they Mum and Dad to the nation.

So many things make me cringe or do a judgemental side eye that I can't even bring myself to list them. I'd be here all day. The older I get the worse it gets.

People that say Tescos

People that post something in a group, don't comment themselves, and say "Discuss".

Written shite grammar - there, their, lose, loose, its, it's, should OF , border, boarder, and "bare with me".

All of the "Mamas" on Instagram I very much doubt it has suddenly replaced good old Mummy / Mum across the middle classes of the UK. Just good old wankery.

Instagrammers writing DM for collabs in their BIO - just awful and grabby.

Why so many life coaches?

Poor grammar
Poor enunciation
Poor table manners
Gratuitous swearing
Gratuitous shouting

Those very tight beige leggings where one looks twice quickly to make sure the person wearing them hasn't forgotten to put on their trousers. It appears the style is also available only in large.

I don’t think ‘Mama’ is a new thing though, I called my Mum that and I’m fairly old!

Pet names by men I don’t know. I guess it’s a bit sexist but it doesn’t tend to bother me as much when women do it. The other day the guy delivering my shopping called me darling, sweetheart and lovely all in the course of one conversation. I was cringing inwardly the whole time. I don’t say anything because I know it’s kindly meant, but I do not enjoy it.

Also, this is personal to me, but people I know not remembering that I’m hard of hearing. I’m not going to get better! Please do not talk to me from another room or with your hand in front of your face or facing away and mumbling.

People eating when you’re on the phone so you can experience every single disgusting mouthful with them arghhh!
People who stop dead in the centre of supermarket exits to look at their phone/fiddle with their bags etc.... same with buggies at the school gate exit stopping to have a chat so no one can get past.
I could go on...

Names to kids at work which are not their name ... her name is Gemma not fucking gem gem or gemmy wemmy

People being in public places in nightwear. There was a woman in a local takeaway on Friday night in her dressing gown waiting to pick up her food. It was just so inappropriate. To top it off, she was also wearing a pair of orange sliders (also a pet hate, but the orange was especially horrible).

It makes my teeth itch.

No it doesn't,teeth don't itch.The end.

Ditto anything related to bad grammar, esp. misused apostrophes. My biggest peeve is "paninis" - "sandwicheses".

Social media pregnancy online tests.
Gender reveals.
And the worst the written stories on big sheets of paper.😡🤮🤯

People who post a picture/video of nature/waves/a beach to Instagram with a wanky caption like "this is your daily reminder to breathe" or some other patronising shit.

Couples who are both in the same house (no doubt sat next to each other) talking over Facebook and declaring their undying love for each other 🤢

People with many or different alternative names for example why call yourself Harry if it is in fact Henry. Otherwise change to it Harry officially. Not talking so much about middle names or people from international non English language heritage with a chosen English name etc but names which are not even official on any paperwork. Strange and bewildering!

It’s really petty and I don’t judge anyone due to problems like dyslexia but it really irks me when someone uses the word aloud when they actually mean allowed.

I think this is a male 15 to 25 thing - the walking backwards slightly combined with arm waving. Zero cognizance of the space of others.

On the subject of personal space the people who stand just a little too close when speaking to you and step forward when you step back trying to maintain a proper gap.

Middle lane huggers.
