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

[CountessDracula]

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...

Well God, there's a fair few of those on here.

Yupt thats is ina nnushell

This is funny; but no irrational hatreds here. All logically irritating.

People who say 'I'm really wierd/zany/mad'
No you're not you just desperately want to be.

Ah, thanks Jools, trying to watch vanilla sky at the same time, not a good idea when trying to understand cod

people wh use the word "cool" whenthey are over 23

kool!

Agree with the Wongster about people who mis-use 'myself'. Or use 'I' instead of 'me' because they mistakenly think it's posh, or something.

People who use business jargon - 'going forwards' or 'thinking outside the box' etc. etc. etc. Want to yell at them: 'Did you actually hear any of those words coming out of your ugly gob? Just say it in normal English without using meaningless filler phrases in a vain attempt to make yourself look clever!' One day I will. And then I'll never work again...

women who get those glamour shots done of themselves - all soft focus with trowelled on make up looking "sexy" with a silky drape round them (usually royal blue - why??)revealing their bare shoulder.

ESPECIALLY IF THEY DO IT AS A PRESENT FOR THEIR HUSBANDS.

celebrities who swear outrageously on the tv, wear sunglasses and scruffy clothes and slouch all over the furniture in an effort to look 'cool' which is stupid on the over 23's

or "safe"

reading certain newspapers ,

mums in the playground who wear size 8/10 jeans and look fab in them

and the more kids they have the more it annoys me.

I know someone who is a size 6-8 and has 5 kids most of them younger than mine too!

Cod you are a naughty fish

people who cant understand that not everyone thinks the way they do and extreme/passionate lefties

I thought I was the only one who didn't like U2. to that I'll then add Dire Straits guitar solo.
can't stand business jargon as well
"at the end of the day" (after I heard posh spice repeating it 300 times in a 5 minutes interview years ago
studio portraits of pregnant women.

people who get those huge supposedly arty photographs of their kids - all white background, kids lying on the floor in "natural"
poses wearing boden clothes or worse, semi naked.

People who insist on showing you their "arty" wedding pictures.I want to say " you are standing in front of me in the flesh. I know you don't look like that picture. You know you don't look like that picture.
Who are you trying to kid?"

people who get photos made up into a big frame and printed on textured canvas to try to make it look like a painting.

animal rights activists
people who can't construct a sentence without inserting the phrase 'you know?' at 5 word intervals.
People who drive 4x4s when they really aren't neccesary,like my SIL.Of course a 4x4 is essential if you live on an executive housing estate in Chorley.
People who smoke,especially over pushchairs.
People who pierce their childs ears.
People who insist that I must hear what has happened in the soap operas when I don't have the slightest interest & never watch them.
I'm sure I can think of loads more.

furry toy animals in the back of their car

fake flowers in their house

their own wedding photos on the wall

calling their partner mummmy or daddy

people who go to the supermarket or shopping in town in their riding gear

People who call Bono Bonio.

People who write 'Congrats' in cards or on threads.
If you can't be arsed to tap out or write 15 letters,then you can't be that pleased for them can you?????

oh god yes MD

"Luv from NP"

is another one
