Share your irrational hates here

One from here that really winds me up is the use of the word 'So' at the beginning of a thread title. As in, 'So, I went to the pub...'. I'm not really sure why I hate it so much, maybe because it sounds like the beginning of a joke or something. I'm not sure.

Watching any news report on TV about submarines etc. and the report shows film of a semi-submerged submarine - I hate it, it sends shivers down my spine ?

Camperkid, who's 12, laughs at me..... ?

I have an irrational hate of being asked to repeat myself. I also irrationally hate it when people put those Christian Fish on their cars...why do I need to know you're a Christian driver?

Ah, but have you seen the rather fab Darwin fish that some people have? They have legs and always make me chuckle.

People who use the word like when explaining a conversation they have had. Example:

'So I was like, 'look what do you want to do tonight', and she was like ' go to the cinema' and I was like, 'I don't really fancy it' and she was like 'well, I want to go' and I was like, 'well fine then, go on your own' and she was like in a right mood........

If that makes sense ? some of my younger work colleagues say it ALL the time and it really winds me up, Grrrrrrrr!

I also hate tissues and paper napkin type things. Bleugh, bleugh, bleugh.

Ooooh, how could I forget - the word "hubby", or worse still "hubbie" or "hubs".

Me too. And big boats which aren't in water <shiver> makes me heave ? I almost threw up at the end of Titanic when the ship lifts out of the water <vomit>

Eurgh. Makes me want to vom. I also hate "hun". Ick.

People that constantly feel the need to remind you what they do for a living.

People that take every opportunity there is to tell a story about themselves, no matter how tenuous the link or how irrelevant it is to the conversation being had.

Mushrooms

Edith Bowman

Sarah-Jane from Cbeebies

especially the ones where its textured, so it is supposed to look like brush marks on an oil painting ?

going back to turns of phrase, i hate it when someone says their child looks 'the spit of' his dad or another relative. it sounds revolting. and yes i know its short for spitting image ? but it just makes me wonder if their child really does look like a huge hawk of phlegm?

i also loathe when people discribe getting pregnant as 'catching on' or saying 'i caught first time last time' or similar. thats an unreasonable one because i can't even say why. well, other than it sounding a bit common. ?

What Hole said, but can I please add peppers too? Vile, vile, disgusting things <vomit>

Oooh yes. There's someone on Hitched who does this with every post and it drives me wild.

I like Sarah Jane though.

More random hates- napkin rings, carnations, people who always carry an umbrella, golf clubs (the sort you join), people making a big deal of using unnecessarily latinate plurals.

I can't stand Tom Hanks either. I actively avoid films that contain him. From Forrest Gump onwards - Splash was okay, for example. It is difficult to explain why I hate him so much, but now you mention it his forehead is very annoying.

That reminds me of the time I went windsurfing in Prestatyn. Lots of fun.

I hate "I fell", or worse still "I fell for Bobby" or whatever the sprog's common-as-muck name is, too - bleurgh, bleurgh, bleurgh.

I wonder if it's the same person who drives me wild with it ?

? Abso-bloody-lutely. Gits. Especially on fora like this one.

Sparkley that's hilarious ?

Yep, there is indeed someone who does it and it makes me seeeeeeeeeeeeeethe.

I also hate people who smoke with a cupped hand. And I hate drivers who sit too upright.

Oh no do I do this?

Is it me? I'm sure I do this.

It reminds me of a time I was on another forum and was really paranoid that people were talking about me but not to my face. I really would prefer if they had just said it to my face.

?

I hate burping and people sneezing.

that's not an irrational one though! I hate her, witchy dwarfy wee bizzum with her hideous wrinkly smokers mouth.

Mine isn't a hate but it is an annoyance. The woman across the road who seems to spend her entire life standing at her front door. Just on the threshold of the door gawking out into the street. She has a wee girl who plays in the street but she never seems to call on her or go out to get her she just sort of stands there. And sometimes she stands there even when the girl isn't out playing. It really bugs me for some irrational reason.

Going out shopping at a time when kids should be in school and yet there are kids of school age everywhere - usually accompanied so unlkely that they're playing truant.

People parking in the communal parking spaces outside my house - well not parking as such but parking badly - it's meant to take 3 cars but invariably someone (usually someone who lives here and could park in their own drive) parks with their head up their arse and only 2 cars can get in.

An old one I used to have was where we lived before, people 3 point turning outside my house. It bugged me cos just a couple of metres further along there was a turning circle. So that annoyed me.

People putting their bags on seats on the train and then looking at you like you farted when you ask them to move it. People putting feet on seats on trains and buses. People eating chips on buses esp covered in vinegar. Yuck.

Another vote for mushrooms. If I accidently eat a hidden one its awful - they scream at you when you bite them.

Oh, and the perma-tanned smug man at my train station 3 mornings a week. I don't know why, I just hate hate hate him.

It took me ages to work out exactly what it was that drove me to want to scrape my eyes out with a spoon. Now at least I know ?. I think from about the same era actually. Loved Big & Splash. I have seen Forrest Gump once and that was enough for me. Don't even get me started on the Dan Brown films.. The trailers make me want to vomit - just the sight of him. Ick.

And sit too close to the steering wheel ?

Are you sure it's not his mouth? His mouth annoys me.

Those fluffy cushions that look like a dyed mountain goat annoy me too.

This one time, at band camp...

Most of these are far too rational to be allowed I'm afraid ?

I get annoyed with people who run past my house then back again, or cycle or walk or whatever. The road forks and the left fork is (quite obviously) the road to take - it has houses and cars on it. The left fork goes past my front door and towards an old people's home, and a dead end. There is a massive sign with the T for dead end and a sign saying PRIVATE etc but every time I'm in the kitchen I see some idiot look lost, go down there, then come back and take the correct fork. Thank goodness we're moving ?

Winkle, I'm with you on the drivers thing - I can't understand how some people can drive with the back of their seat so upright it's leaning forwards, and so close how do they get their legs under the steering wheel? How is this comfortable, with your nose pressed against the windscreen?

Or "he only had to look at me and I fell pregnant" or even worse "preggers". Er no he didn't that's just what he told you to try and get himself off the hook for the fact he slipped it in while you were asleep.
