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...

Arf at custy's ploy re map for ds! Dh is a lifelong Villa supporter (grew up nr redditch) and of course is indoctrinating ds1. Since we now live in London ds1 should, in fact, support Chelsea, except it would kill dh. I reckon though, since Villa is the least cool team in the Premiership, no one can accuse ds1 of supporting them just cos they're trendy.

I get an irrational "oh fgs" feeling from posh people who pretend not to be posh. Or bright people who pretend to be thick because it's more popular with the public. Be posh, be not posh, be bright, be thick, it doesn't matter, just be what you are. Grrrrr.

People who smoke in their car with the children in the back, or sit with children in the smoking area in cafes

People who let their small children leave the house with wet hair and no hat in winter

Textspeak - I know, I'm a bigot, but it grates

ks- LOL!

I don't listen to the words much , just the sound of his voice and the music

Remember him from the 80's.. does he even age?

women who smoke while pushing buggies.
er, people who smoke. full stop.
poeple who say 'it's all good' or any semi-trendy catch phrase.
people who think that america is the be all and end all. (eg. american movies are best, american television is best, american movie stars are bigger and better than brits...)

Tory voters

i love u2 fan from 1982 so can't get that one!
people who take cocaine.

people who wear sovriegn rings or a ring on every finger.

Women with tatoos

that hair thing, you know when women scrape it up on top of thier heads and wear a bright pink scrunchy in it.

track suits with shoes. especially on people who obviously havent got two pennies to rub together and yet wear £100 tracksuits.

people with tots on prams with bottles of juice.

loud people, women especially.

People who say "fing" instead of "thing" cant stand that.

Im a total snob..totally irrational but i cant help it, these people go down in my mind immediately.

People who hold their knives like a pen. No idea why this grates on me, just does.

People who say 'it must be true I read it in the Daily Mail'.

People who wear very large belts or very large sunglasses.

Anybody with an MP3 player- ooh that tinny electrical buzz they emit, I could happily garotte them with their headphones.

People who say 'like' instead of 'said'.

Actually anybody who cannot string together a sentence of basic English without including gross grammatical errors, the word 'like' in ridiculous quantities or a stupid inflection that makes me want to physically prevent their mouths from ever moving again.

Anybody who talks about their rooms as 'spaces', has 'clean lines' in their minimalist little cubes or prattles on about 'bringing the outside inside'.

Conversely I irrationaly like some people. Especially those with cake.

Ha ha these are so great and make me feel totally rational and level-headed

Message withdrawn

People who smoke
People who park on double yellow lines
People who don't think David Blunkett is a tosser
People who tell me housework only takes 15 minutes a day

People who like Mick Hucknall.

when people don't have much knowledge of geography - at least knowing which continent each country is in - and little knowledge of current affairs

people who say that politics isn't relevant to them

women bearing perfume sprays near the doors of department stores [no thanks I don't want to smell like a magic tree car freshner]

coldplay, sorry I just don't get it, his voice makes me want to open a vein and just get it over with

reading the Daily Mail

answering their mobile/ reading a text/ replying to a text whilst mid conversation

claiming not to be able to cook as an excuse for eating badlty - learn!

Bad grammar

God, I'm a snob!

(but actually I love all my fellow humans in their entirety being genuinely wonderful woman of great emotional maturity)

people who say "basicaaallly" in every sentence

nobody has said 'Daily Mail readers' yet [rolls eyes]

OOh, thought ofr some more

Any form of prejudice (had a fairly heated conversation with my in laws about immigration over dinner last night - why can I not keep my opinions to myself??)

People who don't get the fairtrade thing and think they can make no difference

People who have a total dis regard for the environment

People who pull over and wait for a free P & T space when they are all full and they have just seen you roll up with a full trolley and 2 kids to load up...I tend to slow right down just to annoy them...

People who say "Myself" instead of "Me"

People who put their bags right on my frickin ankles when shuffling painfully slowly forward in a queue at the airport. Had to take out a fair few strangers on this recent trip for that offence, mentally of course, I didn't shoot no one.

we feel the same about Arsenal fans - just can't help ourselves

I also have a thing against new fans - which I know is terribly judgemental - it's the 'you weren't there when we were shit' feeling

I also can't understand people who have no books in their houses

People who ring me when I'm in the bath. I could not answer but I can't.

People who close their eyes when talking (think Ann Widdecomb)

People who's tone of voice goes uuuuuUUUP too early in a sentence/statement.

Another vote for people who say 'basically.'

People who ring my mobile when they've tried my landline and it's engaged. Isn't it obvious that I'm in the middle of a conversation, and you are rudely trying to interrupt me by calling the other line?
