Although his mouth is also an irritant, it's definitely the forehead that does it for me..

Can I also join the queue for Katy Perry?

Aw, poor Tom! I like him!

I can't even look at Michael Keaton though, and I have a problem with Jack Nicholson to a lesser extent, and Billy Crystal and Rolf Harris, who I shall be avoiding at Glastonbury next week.

I concur with both of those - "preggers" make me feel ill.

I also can't bear "we're pregnant" - bah humbug!

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are particular hates of mine. As is Andy Murray.

If we're talking truly irrational, the phrase "for my sins", as in "I'm an engineer, for my sins". What does that even mean?

Germ-phobia annoys me as well (not talking about people with actual psychological problems), although I'm not sure that's entirely rational as I could give reasons for it.

Also Terry Wogan (no idea why!)

His forehead ?

I forgot he is also one that I cannot watch (or listen to - i can just imagine the forehead staring at me as he talks)

What is it with you and foreheads?! ?

I hate 1p and 2p coins - I always say 'leave the change' in the shop if its only 1p as I hate touching them - I've probably lost a fortune over the years ?

I hate people using percentages over 100% to describe their effort levels, ie on the Apprentice. And it really annoys me when people use 'myself' and 'yourself' innappropriately - I work in HR and the recruitment consultants that cold-call me daily seem particularly prone to this ie 'I'd like to set up a meeting with yourself to discuss this further'.

Both of these, but especially the last one - not sure it's really irrational, it's bad grammar and just gives the impression that the person is trying to be super-correct and formal, but doesn't actually know how to use the English language (I find it's particularly often coupled with unsolicited use of my first name, which is a hatred although not an irrational one).

1) Same as Summer_Sparkles, being asked to repeat myself.

2) Polystyrene - completely irrational, just cannot stand the stuff. Makes me feel physically sick!

They are fab. I have just ordered a bumper plaque. Thanks Winks.

My irrational hate is chair covers (particularly at functions), with bows on or whatever. You sit on the chair, your arse takes up most of the space, your back covers the rest of it, does it matter what colour it is? No so theres no need for chair covers!

The other one is something I've mentioned on here previously and thats date format, Im British, Iv'e been brought up to say the date in a particular 'British' way for example 'the seventeenth of June'.... I HATE (with a passion) the way things seem to be getting Americanised and adverts etc say 'June Seventeen' . ARGH! It's not June Seventeen it's the Seventeenth of June!

people cracking their knuckles

OMG - wait till you see what I'm getting kilty for our first wedding anniversary lol!!

What are you doing here? And if you get one of those, I'm culling you. ?

People who say '3am in the morning'. Does that count as irrational? I suppose not, since it's wrong. Lots of grammatical errors really grate on me, but again that may not count as irrational.

Also agree with the drivers sitting too upright and close to the wheel. And my H who gives the 'thank you' gesture when I am driving. I am the driver, if someone has given way, it is up to ME to thank them (think that is irrational!).

I saw an MP being driven off somewhere (on the news, not IRL) and he didn't put his seatbelt on. The footage was played over and over again and each time I reached a new level of rage.

Sarah Kennedy.

Mine are:

Barbara Windsor. Not a charming Cockney sparrow, more a vulgar, repulsive woman with a hideous voice.

People at work who buy bulk lots of nasty, cheap, floral, pastel birthday cards with cuddly animals on. You can get half decent cards with some sense of style for under 50p you know.

People who stand in front of a shelf at the supermarket, picking something up then putting it down and picking something else up for about 5 minutes, completely unaware that a queue has formed behind them of people waiting to get something. Actually, I'll extend that to anyone who is unaware of what is happening around them in a supermarket. Just have a bit of consideration you twunts.

I'm completely with The Beast on people who have no sense of what's going on around them and just wander round causing complete chaos - seethe.

My really big one is fog lights. I have no idea what it is with people who drive round, even in DAYLIGHT with their fog lights on - often completely apropos of nothing, and often not accompanied with normal headlights, just the foglights. It's completely uneccessary, and just plain dangerous when it's dark. Aaaargh, makes me so angry.

Goodness, I thought I was the only person in the world who felt like this about 'things' that have seen the bottom of the ocean'. I can't look at the underside of ships, anchors, large nautical ropes/chains, anything with barncles on.... how odd.

I'm not really here - I was just being nosy elsewhere and needed to see what you were talking about lol!!

And then I saw your post and had to post ... I'm having a piece of art commissioned - it's of us on our wedding day but it's not a photo, it's art by www.philipsymonds.com and the black bits have glitter - oooooh (NB more for me than kilty probably)

And then I'm going to have one done of Bert - there is no end to it lol!!

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I don't like anything associated with deep/open water, it really frightens me. Worst are buoys, but also all the things you've mentioned plus piers, shipwrecks, oil rigs, tankers, those beaches that go really far out but the tide can come in behind you, small uninhabited islands in the middle of vast lakes. Bleurgh.

I like the sound of the Bert one. ?

Danny Dyer. He puts the *** in c0ckney.

I really don't think this is irrational but I'll add it anyway.

My GP surgery has a touch screen to book in for your appointment, when you've put in your details and it's got your appointment up, the last button to press says 'Arrive Me' ? I'm going to have to write to them about it.

Right now my probably not so irrational hatred is the fact that I am 4ft11 and its a pain in the ar$e trying to find a dress for a special occasion that will hide my bingo wings and will suit me. All the right ones are either horrid colours or have no sleeves [:'(]

Katy Perry also irritates me along with Lily Allen!

Parminder Nagra (Neela from ER) No idea why but she absolutley does my head in

Sweetcorn - I'm sure it tastes fine but I hate hate hate it, it looks wrong and reminds me of loads of teeth

The noise the trackwheel on a blackberry makes, especially when I'm chilling on the sofa lounging on H, and he's scrolling on his BB, the clicking scolling noise really really irritates me

When the manboy in my office breaks into his rendition of 'ain't no sunshine' at least 8 times a day. SHUT UP. You can't sing.

The colour Peach. Dreadful, should be band espicially from DIY shops and weddings.

Ooooohhhhh yes. Lily Allen. You don't speak like tha', so don' sing like i' eiver.

Gah!

I have a real hatred for over-cautiousness. Or even just caution. Sometimes the cautious people are completely in the right but it makes me react in a very reckless fashion just because I hate what they've said so much.

When people voice worries about going on a train because someone in the town has swine flu. When everyone I know warned me to 'watch my bag' due to pickpockets when I went to Barcelona, when people worry about sell-by dates, when my colleague whips out her little bottle of anti-septic handwash stuff before lunch (we don't work in a sewerage, just a normal office!), when my SIL chops up grapes in case her 3 year old chokes on them. All of these things drive me crazy.

I also hate people who don't wear sun protection. Or use factor 10 and then go for a swim and don't top up all day.

? Please don't hate me!

I hate having such short legs that if I don't bring the seat as far forward as I can, I can't properly control the pedals on our stupid Vectra estate.

My H is short too and only 4 inches taller than me but he has such a relaxed driving stance compared with me, all crushed up.

Surely to wear suncream and reapply would be over-cautious?! ?

Ross Kemp. His stupid smuggy face gives me the rage. I've never actually watched one of his 'Ross Kemp being brave by going to scary places' tv programmes as I think I might implode - the adverts for them are enough to get me swearing at the tv.

Kerry katona....say no more.
