I’ll go first: For me the word, “hubby”…. No idea why. And I’ve acknowledged it’s irrational, so….

People who say 'love yoooooooou' at the end of phone conversations. It kind of cheapens it.

It really does!

What are 'dippy eggs'? It doesn't sound like something I'd like to eat.

Much like 'picky bits'. Ugh.

When garages use near side… off side… are those even the right terms? Just say drivers side/passenger side FGS, as I never remember which is which! Near side to what? Middle of the road, near to the curb, I literally never remember.
Yes I know that this would be reversed for cars that are left hand side drive but surely those are a tiny minority in this country.

Aaargh. It's kerb. Curb is to stop something.

Resealable packets that don't.

And DCs that don’t reseal packets that actually are resealable. (Said after finding ANOTHER block of cheese left open and dried out in the fridge….)

Referring to going out for dinner/cinema etc with DH as "date night"

"Me" instead of "my" - colloquial where I'm from, but irritating nonetheless

"We're pregnant" as though it's a shared physical experience 😂

I agree with so many of the previous posts, but 'date nights' and 'we're pregnant' make me particularly angry. I get extremely irritated by people who begin sentences with 'So', and the use of abbreviations of almost any kind, but particularly references to 'DH', 'DD' etcetera, and worst of all 'Ddog', which is longer than typing out the actual word.

I also get irrationally, and very unreasonably angry by the way in which Ocado pack my shopping bags each week - I have a fridge freezer in my utility room and a smaller fridge in my kitchen, and keep different things in the two. When I pack my shopping in the supermarket, I pack things into two separate bags, but I always get irritated that Ocado pack things for both fridges in the same bag despite them having no way of knowing my circumstances 😂

I have a DH who is incapable of putting lids back on jars properly. He does a sort of half-arsed cockeyed twist and shoves it back in the cupboard or fridge. Does my head in.
Served him right the other day though, when he knocked a jar of redcurrant jelly off the shelf in the fridge and down all over his feet.

People that say 'look' at the start of a sentence,usually a politician on the news. Parents who refer to each other as mummy or daddy to adult children. Teaching young children to say 'ta' instead of thank you. The word 'meal', refering to your wife as 'the Mrs', the word 'holibobs'... The list goes on and on.

All of those….and beginning a sentence with, “So….”

Redundant apostrophes on signs or marketing material, which must have passed several sets of eyes without anyone flagging up the mistake. DH dreads me driving behind any van selling bed's or fascia's or lot's of other different product's.

Yes! 😂

Sabrina Carpenter
Ed Sheeran
George Ezra
That god awful song about whisky.

I feel like there's a global target to play each of these artists on the radio at least 10 million times daily.

2 words: Radio 6

guarantee you won’t hear any of that shite

Tea towels and cloths hung on things like a tap or the dishwasher handle, where they are not supposed to be

Oh god, I do that. (And hate it) Where do I put the cloth??

Women or (particularly) girls being shown on film or TV using a toilet. It's never necessary and it's, well, rude. OK we all do it but we all reveal something in doing so.
Anyway you said 'irrational'.
But if men or boys are shown doing that, there's a reason. They're usually talking to each other while peeing or commenting on something. We don't pee together in the open like they do
& there's a reason for that: we NEED privacy.

“The boys” when you’re talking about grown men.

Equally, "the girls" when talking about a group of adult wonen, the term often used by adult woman who also have a "bestie" and a "baby daddy". Shudder.

One of the high street banks is running an ad campaign on London Underground at the moment. Giant posters everywhere featuring a woman talking about her “holibobs”. 😑

I saw that one on the tube yesterday morning and let out an inadvertent "Oh fuck off." Who talks like this?

Rummageabout · 21/10/2024 21:14

The theme music to the One Show. Kids being allowed to stand in shopping trolleys and putting their poop soiled shoes where my apples are about to end up. My own ridiculously loud snoring. EScooters driven at night, on the pavement by idiots wearing black, with no lights and a desire to kill me or my dog or both. Life Sentences that last for 16 years. Not being able to sleep. Using the word belly instead of stomach. People who constantly choose to park on the zigzag lines at crossings because they can't be bothered to walk and extra 8ft. Sorry I got a bit carried away and could go on and on!

StarSwooshSpangles · 22/10/2024 21:28

Pants, frocks and slacks and slips .

The current trend of wearing white sports socks pulled up over leggings with crocs.
Looks inarguably stupid. Some people will wear anything that's currently in fashion.

What other people choose to wear has no impact on me. No idea why this particular fad annoys me so much.

mumtoababygirl · 22/10/2024 21:42

People who have the volume on on their devices in public. I hate it so much. If you or your child can’t not wait for five minutes in the doctors waiting room without playing a game or watching YouTube, then you should have headphones on.

terracottafarm · 22/10/2024 21:44

People who have baby showers. Excuse to get free presents. Oh, and then proceed to do a gender reveal. So over the top
