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...

I don't think it's irrational to hate the Playboy bedlinen. Someone was requesting some on our local Freecycle for her 11yr old last month! Do the mums just not know what Playboy is or what the bunnies actually do to Hugh Heffner in return for their rent and upkeep? Is it really a good impression for any woman to give someone they've invited home (to their mum's house most likely)?

I also hate that Kappa logo - is it 2 naked women or am I imagining it? Why would a straight woman want to wear that?

Well, I would take food out of a jar or tin for anyone else - so why not for a baby? Anyway, don't need to be rational on this thread .
I'm sure there are those who are annoyed by people who do bother to decant food... fair enough!

oh no it had just never occurred to me to do that!

I think they recommend decanting food to heat it because it can change the material adversely but if your baby eats room temp stuff anyway I don't see the point. What could be toxic about the inside of the hermetically sealed container it came in?

And has no one ever eaten a pot noodle? that's how I always saw tinned/jarred babyfood anyway, as a convenient treat but wouldn't want to live on it.

love the idea of slopping potnoodle on a plate to eat...how posh is that?

People who start threads like this

jajas,you have just described the house of my nightmares

What about an onyx coffee table with gilt rococco legs to add the finishing touch?

Shop assistants who, when giving change, lay any notes out flat on the palm of your hand, with a pile of coins on top, me too!
also cropped trousers

Having an MN name very like mine (to answer the OP). Feel a name change coming on.

People who put plates on the wall (and then expect you to admire them).

People who can talk about dusting for 20mins

Greasy hair

People who join their names together to name their houses-one I know of (in UK) called Casa Lindaron-wtf?

When I answer the phone or the door and the person at the other end says 'am I disturbing you?' - as if I'll ever say 'well yes actually you are'
People who say 'if I were you'and thn giving advice without being asked - well you're not me so eff of with your unwanted advice!!!

U2 is shite.

They really are.

And Bono is at the top of the crock.

British people who say "gotten".

kappa logo (nasty I agree) is a naked man and woman, not just two women.

I am very tempted to go through this thread to find out just how many people I would irritate! Quite a few from a first glance

I am irritated by anyone who gets irritated with me over trivial irrational things

I love this thread!

People who let their dogs pooh everywhere.
People who name their cats/dogs with human names e.g Thomas and Toby.
People who can watch a film over and over again.
People who think that I am weird because I feed my child healthy food (most of the time).
People who will not stand up for their friends/colleagues.
Employers that frown upon freedom of speech.
Snobs.
Rude mannered people.
People who assumne that you must be loaded/snobby because you live within 30 miles of London.
People who have not shopped in Argos/Woolworths because it is too working class. It is not Christmas without an annual trip to Woolies!
People who say that they can't cook when they have never even tried.
MIL's.

Er,how else does one give change other than in above mentioned fashion?!
No goes,soooo with you on people who watch films over and over.Why not just wear a large placard proclaiming 'I am a sad loser'?

I am irritated beyone measure by MNers exhorting me not to 'judge' or urging me to 'walk a mile in their shoes'.

unpainted toenails!!
the word muffintop, this really bugs me for some reason yes i do have a bit of it.

what is a muffintop please? Just need to know so I can sprinkle my conversation with it....(snort).

FCUK logo

Logos like ToysRus, (usually American)

Hasn't anyone said doilies yet?

Nests of tables

Coloured bathroom suites

Men's feet in sandals, with or without socks, expecially when the feet are really white. socks with sandals are worse.

As to MIL's, mine may she RIP, came to visit with the most extraordinary baby gift - I'd just brought home my 9 weeks prem DD and MIL bought me a kit to strip and polish kitchen table.

jajas,I think we need a whole new 'house of hell' thread.I shall begin one,dusty potpourri & looroll lady et all.

A muffintop is the spare tyre that appears when your jeans are too tight/low and your bomber jacket is too short. It oozes over like a delicious baking muffin.
I find maternity-style babydoll tops invaluable for getting away with my own too tight jeans
