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...

nailpolish, in our park people just walk over and plonk them anywhere, in the summer i cant let dd out of the buggy.

right

you should get onto the council, they can provide high-up big sturdy bbq's

write a letter about fire hazards etc and how you have contacted your mp

those i wouldnt mind, but people just plonk the little silver disposable ones on the floor and then leave them there when they are finished, still hot, have never though of writing a letter to the council, will try it once it warms up again!

honestly you should

then you can use them too!

I come over all peculiar when I see people hold their knife as if it were a pen or a scalpel. I mean, what are they going to do, get the steak back on its feet? Draw on it with their knife?

Wish I could get over it.

People who use "text speak" in their emails/MN posts.

People who wear g-strings that show when they walk or sit.

People who do not bother to hide muffin tops (lovehandles sticking out of your jeans/trousers).

i think the funniest thing about this thread is that according to all of our 'instant dislike' criteria we would probably all hate each other!
thankfully i won't admit to any of the previously mentioned crimes against humanity so you can all still love me!

Men who call women 'ladies'. All three of DP's brothers do this and it makes me, frankly, want to kill them.

And obviously people who use collective nouns as a plural (as in 'the government are' not 'the government is') but that's not irrational, it's shoring up the fragile fabric of Civilisation As We Know It.

women who call women ladies is worse imo

Before I found mn I was a member of some other site (can't remember which now) and there was a lot of "Morning Ladies" posts that made me cringe

I sometimes call women ladies
But only in a postmodern way

oh Motherinf. i hate 'ladies too' my BIL brothers all use it-'can i get you ladies a little drink?'( no i want a big fat vodka martini and a shotgun with which to end your miserable life)
ther is something SOso patronising about it and it has a hint of golfclub exclusion too

oh god you've all got me het up

cd that reminds me

i dont like people who say "morning" all cheery like

its "GOOD morning"

that reminds me-
there was a piece in the paper yesterday about people who holiday or have houses in france and can't speak after coming back, without inserting French words

Bonjour darling,ca va- just back from La belle france

vom

novelty sox is a divorcable offence

omg yes

about adults and disney denim jackets from the disney store

pyjamas with tigger on then

wtf?

even bags and keyrings and furry things on their car steering wheel

!

novelty socks

boxers

mugs

grr

People who laugh when their dog steals your picnic....

Sting in any incarnation - he makes me want to open HIS veins

Also that ghastly guy who thinks he plays the blues but actually plays "whites with a touch of..." Happily his name has left my head at the moment, oh, yes, Clapton

Oh yes, and people who invite us to lunch, offer dh a scotch and me a small sherry!

Custy - just read your post of 8.50am

totally agree - being a biased blue myself

glory seeking trophy hunters

People who say "you've got to watch me, I'm totally MAD!", what I hear in my head is "I am a colossal tosser and extremely unfunny"
