What makes you think less of someone in a totally totally irrational way?

Having just watched the end of the Channel 4 best albums of all time, dh and I were discussing how upsetting we find it if someone we love admits to liking U2 and how it devalues them in our eyes TOTALLY irrational I know

So...

lockets - booby is worse!

People who say things along the lines of " Tarquin has special needs too - he's very bright and the school just isn't set up to deal with him"

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 16/10/2006 21:46

people who send me irritating e-mails. ie- life is a bowl of cherries, smel the roses, blah blah blah- now send this to 7 million people and something nice will happen at some point.
it drives me f*** insane.

one of my best friends does this and i had to have a word the other day because it was irritating me so much.

Smokers

Signing a card/e-mail etc "luv" - arghhh!!

emsiewill · 16/10/2006 21:53

Haven't read all the thread, so may be repeating other people's irrationalities (is that a word?)

People who read the DM (I know this one will have been done lol!)

People who say "I don't read books"

People who are thick as shit and yet use big words to try and make themselves look clever - IT DOESN'T WORK

People who don't give you a bedside light when you stay at their house.

People who text while you're talking to them.

There's probably loads more, I just can't think of them right now.

He does moondog, it is almost spooky.

wafer · 16/10/2006 22:02

people who call girls 'mate', or abbreviate your name as soon as you meet them.

WitchICouldGiveUpWork · 16/10/2006 22:06

Anyone other thanme in Brent Cross on a Saturday0they are all bergey and rude!

Tortington · 16/10/2006 22:39

if i dont know someone and they say they buy organic.

ilovecaboose · 16/10/2006 22:44

People who say 'oh all children/cats/small furry things under the sofa love me' (then funny to see my child/cat/small furry thing that lives under the sofa completely ignore them).

People who drive american style (i.e. big) cars over here - there is no reason for it and they don't fit on the roads/car parking spaces etc.

Monkeytrousers · 16/10/2006 22:52

I know someone who watches the telly with the sound down and subtitles on so they don't upset their neighbours and feel superior (in a good neighbour way) and when they hear their neighbours telly (cos they are bad neighbours) - totally mad!

Monkeytrousers · 16/10/2006 22:53

Just needed to add that their neighbours have never complained of any noise so it's a complete projected fantasy on their part.

moondog · 16/10/2006 22:53

Adults who enjoy Disneyworld and simialr.

Tortington · 16/10/2006 22:54

people with more than 3 cats.

Frieda · 16/10/2006 22:55

People who drive too close behind me. I feel like making a sign to put in the back of my car that says "Driving halfway up my a**e isn't going to make me go any faster".

People who sign cards on behalf of their dog/cat and draw a paw print to make it look like a signature.

People who always make an upwards inflection at the end of a sentence - even if they are Australian. It's as though they're trying to get you to agree with them, which just makes me stare back stonily.

People who are called place names like Chelsea, but spell it Chelsey. Why? (sorry if I'm offending anyone - perhaps you can explain and put me right on that one)

People who do a little round circle instead of a dot over an "i". Especially if they draw a little face in it.

sorrell · 16/10/2006 22:55

When people say they are 'spiritual'
When they love U2 ('The Edge' - The Arse)
When they use business cliches (greenlight an idea etc)

moondog · 16/10/2006 22:56

Circle over an i in lieu of a dot is a sure sign that writer is thick.

sorrell · 16/10/2006 22:56

Oh, and when they really believe in astrology. One of my close friends does and I cannot talk about it with her as I find it so upsetting!

CodMod · 16/10/2006 23:00

Frieda · 16/10/2006 23:01

Hmmm, sorrell. I'd guess that's probably because you're an Aries .
