Mushrooms. It's irrational because I have no idea what they taste like. And the saying 'pissed as a fart'. Grrrr.

Recently mine has been people who walk in cycle lanes, when the pavement/ track is divided into half for walkers, half for cyclists. I want to cycle into them. Even when the lanes are empty I still stick to the right one.

I don't think anyone has ever given me a gift book.

I hate 'pissed as a fart ' too

awful term

I hate grass and the mud underneath ...

Katie Perry.

I feel the rage just looking at a picture or her in the paper. I have to change channels if she comes on TV. I don't know why, her songs are okay, just something about that stupid simpering face of hers makes me want o deck her.

People who are smutty or 'a bit rum' - no you're not being terribly modern and open, you're behaving like a bawdy brothel worker in a badly made carry on film.

I also loathe people asking "do you know what I mean?" even after the most banal of statements

People calling other people 'love' <vomits in mouth>

The smell of coffee

The word lush

...actually I think I may just be a big bag of irrational hatred.

Ooh, I can't stand Katy Perry either. Smug beatch with her 'wacky' dress sense.

? I love her!

We could make a tag team, you kick her (hard) and I'll punch her. I like sharing, I'm all heart me.

Ooh yes! I llllllllllllllllloathe Katie Perry. Twunt.

I hate it when people automatically say 'see you later' at thend of a conversation, even though you know they won't. A colleageu is always doing it, even with people she's never met and is never likley to. Maybe that's not soooooo irrational, after all!

People who know all the lyrics to songs at concerts. Smug bastards.

And massive blown up wedding photos transferred onto canvas. Why would you want to look at a huge picture of yourself?

Tom Hanks. Well more specifically his forehead. Can't watch any films with him in that have been made in the last few years as it really irritates me. I don't mind his forehead in his earlier films though. I can tolerate those. ?.

Hazel Blears, her and her too-tight, perma-gurning, overly-bright-eyed, vampirical (is that a word?), rabbity look. Get annoyed every time I see her!

My irrational hate it people not understanding the meaning of the word irrational. I bet this thread is filled with replies of perfectly reasonable hates like people stopping in the street, standing on the left of escalators etc

And whilst typing the above I have another. My step daughters not being able to say pyjamas. Every night they tell me they are putting their jamas on. ggrr! It drives me potty! I swear they say it to wind me up ?

Flybe. Firstly for charging me over £400 for 2 flights from Gatwick to the Isle of Man next week and secondly for having the bare faced cheek to stick £14 worth of charges on top of this for daring to use a credit card. I'm not sure that is entirely irrational though.

? see my reply. Although I did say it wasn't entirely irrational.

? Well, quite.

These are all perfectly understandable - except the smoothies - that is just bonkers

i hate the phrase 'gobsmacked' - rank

all the girls who run down the prom with their perky bums and ponytails while i am heaving along like a melty lard ball

acrylic nails - they didnt used to annoy me but i hate them now

having to go to school fair - especially as i got mightly pissed and promised to help do the nail painting stall - i am a durr brain

I'll join your team - I hate her. Who the hell is she with her dumb red lips anyway? Grrr.

Oh - and 'soldier boy' - what a fecking pointless individual - vomit

Although my hate is of this ilk, I stand by my opinion that wanting to run people over on my bike is irrational ?

Oil rigs, fecking hate them, make me feel sick even on the TV.

Slightly less irrational is the expression 24/7.

I think hatred of anything other than something that causes injury, deep suffering etc is irrational really. Your examples aren't rational - solutions are easy enough - not walking so closely behind people, scooting around those on escalators - it takes seconds. However, they are things that cause intense irritation bordering on hatred. Irrational, not rational.

I had no idea who she was, but having googled her I now hate her too.

Is there a reason why?

Agreed ?

Other than my brother in law worked on them years ago and he's a bit of a twunt, nothing springs to mind, just irrational. If I'm stressed I have nightmares about being stuck on one.

I think you'll find its Soulja or some rubbish like that ?

window envelopes - I can't rip them up easily or put them in the compost ?

Join the back of the queue, love. Chook and Wonkle and I have first dibs.

I think my hatred of these things might be verging on irrational but I really dislike the word "personally" when used directly before "I" - I means it is personal. I've suddenly noticed it everywhere (written and out loud).

And literally - David Cameron, I mean you. You went to Eton and Oxford, the best education money can buy and you still think the Labour party is literally tearing itself apart, do you?!
