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...

most of these are very rational, imo.

Bleached teeth

men who follow fashion in a big way

people whos mobile phones actually ring (emergency only!!!..and no i'm not jealous because i have no friends to phone me)

much

I have very happy memories of both Sting and U2 from my student day - but then I am incredibly old.

People who say "Of course the local school is wonderful and I really wish we could send Tarquin there, but it just wouldn't CHALLENGE him enough"

lmao at cremola's 'touch of golf club exclusion'

oh yes anyone who is not retired who plays golf

get a life

Honestl now,golf is the biggest turn off of all.
How on earth could I have omitted it from original list.

A crime worse than Sting's lute playing CD deffo.

people who smoke are very mad.

People who are obviously fat and buy fish and chils with extra chips and a roll then ask for a diet coke.

People that use chip fat fryers

poor spelling does it for me.

and liking Red Dwarf. I always get a certain distance with people liking the same things (onty Python, Blackadder, The Office etc) and then there's the let-down when it turns out they like Red Dwarf as well. [lip-curling emoticon]

trashy jewellery and "mum" rings

people who smoke are very mad.

People who are obviously fat and buy fish and chils with extra chips and a roll then ask for a diet coke.

People who drip themselves and children in gold

playing golf is one thing
wanting to tell you all about it, is quite another.
actually people who take a lot of exercise esp mountain biking.
oh and people who buy cds called things like The Only Classical Album You Will Ever Need.

Ditto blossomhowl

Exactly what is bling for? What purpose does it serve other than to act as a cow bell that warns people that it's you running for the bus?

actually mountain biking isn't as bad as that other thin wheel biking thing on roads

dh and I have a theory that width of tyres equates to size of arse. In Richmond Park you always see fat arsed rugger buggers on their mountain bikes and these weird skinny gimpy lycra-clad human equivalent of whippets going about 400 mile an hour on the road - i mean ffs there is a cycle track all the way round the perimiter why are you on the ROAD?

People who walk using ski poles
what is that all about?

Countess yes those ski poles ! We were on Bodmin Moor for a walk during our summer holiday. A youngish fit looking couple strode up near us with ski poles. wtf ?

People who hold a massive, fat-arse burger in both hands and try to cram the whole thing into their huge gaping, drooling mouths whilst walking down the street. In fact, eating whilst walking down the street is just plain wrong. Urgh.

People who talk in double negatives.. 'I don't want nothing to do with it'.

People with the back of their thongs on show above their waistbands. Filthy beasts.

People who think Mike Hucknall is sexy. Shudder.

And... people who preach to you about where you are going wrong bringing up your kids when they have no kids of their own (am thinking a close relative of mine here).

themoon666, definitely agree re Mick Hucknall, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Queen Elizabeth I. How that can be considered attractive is beyond me.

A friend of mine gets on my t*ts because she always defers to her husband/father's opinion//judgement/decision on something as being more valid than hers and the better/more correct one because they are men.
Makes me think less of her as I knew her as a fiesty young thing in uni.
