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...

Californifright, have you read 'Bridget Jones's Diary'??
She initially rejects Mark Darcy because he is wearing bumble bee socks but he turns out to be the love of her life....

cartoon ties

Yes, californifright and that person will also without doubt own a velvet jester's hat with bells on.

lol at this thread and at how many actually think they are being irrational.

People admitting to liking lots of particular groups puts me off, but the words 'Crowded House' and 'Simply Red' always make me shudder.

Also hate women who always go on about how fat they are, when they are patently not (usually fishing for compliments).

And I don't think I'd have a lot in common with people who dress their children in 'mini-me' outfits of the very adult kind.

And none of these is irrational, of course!

people who watch Friends, Sex in the City and/or desperate housewives

Acceptable on a 6 year old, not acceptable on grown adult man in a pub drinking before a rugby or football match!!

People who like to spend nights in karaoke bars & worse still join in!
Couples who call each other "Bubs"
Men who wear gold chains

I like U2!

no no no no

this is the worst Sting lyric ever

"I howl all night and I sleep all day
It takes more than biscuit baby to chase these blues away
I?ve got a long enough leash
I could almost hang myself
It's a dogs life loving you baby
But you love someone else
Now he?s moved by basket
I?d like to put him in a casket
I?ll wear my best collar to his funeral"

rofl rofl rofl

I don't like people who earn loads of money but give none to charity; or have no regard for the environment at all

however I actually don't think any of the things on here are irrational. Specially the scrunchie thing

People who are overly clean and tidy up loudly and angrily.

People who hate old things, wastefully bin them just because they aren't brand new, without attempting to repair/ patch up and rush to install UPVC windows - and turn the central heating up too high!

again,not really irrational!!!

On MN - People with 'sexy' names & txt spk

Yes, jajas!! If you don't have no fags left, then you must have some fags left, argh!!

Almost as annoying as adverts which say 'send no money now'...how do you send 'no money'????

People who use the word 'babe' for any living thing over the age of 18 months unless as the correct appellation for a certain speaking pig. Logically 'Babe' is no worse than 'Darling' or 'Sweetheart' but for me the speaker is immediately and irrationally devalued.

Apologies to all you 'Babe' callers out there.

No worries, babe

Beige socks on men. Especially thin beige socks.

Night shirts for grown women with fwuffy bunnies or ickle kitties on and some cutesie slogan.

Jeans with a crease ironed into them.

Estuary English and especially glottal stops.

People who say "Innit?"

Personalised number plates
Chewing gum all the time
Crossing the road deliberately slowly, not having looked behind you, while listening to an iPod
