Pet hates

[Milims]

Come on then spill the beans - what are those wee things in life that drive you totallycrazy and make you want to shout?
Mine are:
Toilet brushes
Cream Eggs
Soap Operas
and potatoes - although I am beginning to feel a little more warmly towards them!!

My pet hates me when I don't feed him often enough.

[Cornelian]

People who slurp their hot drinks. That can drive me to violence.

[hedgewitch]

I hate when people talk over the top of someone else.

[Paddy's mum]

Pet hates - sorry, but I've got loads!

People who finish your sentence for you, but get the wrong word - as in " well, I can't come for coffee on Thursday because we've got" "the grandchildren for the day?" No - the plumber coming in!

People who pick the dirt out from under their nails with the nails of the other hand (the clicking puts my teeth on edge) and then flick the debris into the air!

If the NHS figures are to be believed, the young women who use abortion as just another form of contraception, and at the taxpayers expense.

The daft bloke system of 'buy my round' and then use that as their reason for being late/drunk/skint.

Men who complain (usually to another woman that they are flirting with) that "my wife doesn't understand me". On the contrary, in my experience. The wife understands the husband only too well!

The apparent fact that the women with the biggest bums always seem to wear the tightest clothes, usually of leggings type and usually in the most raucous colours. Ditto, the men with the biggest hang-over-the-belt beerguts wearing the skimpiest teeshirt to show off that ugly, dimpled, hugely hairy, often fluffy navel.

Being behind someone in the supermarket queue who tells the checkout girl that she is working ever so hard on her diet, as her doctor is worried about the health effects of her obesity. Then, I look at what she is buying .... soft drinks, crisps, kilos of frozen chips, bags of sugar, multipacks of chocolate and not a fresh item in sight.

Tailgate drivers.

Going to go off now, having put the world to rights, and make a cuppa!

Went to B&Q last night to take back some stuff we'd never got round to using

OMG... since when is it usual to walk round B&Q wearing:
White stiletto knee high boots
A white stretchy lycra mini skirt (so short you could see her black undies)
A Pink mini t-shirt saying "Princess" on it in glitter
One of the little cropped coats people insist on wearing, all trimmed in fur (probably fake)

She was not overly large, but not thin enough to show herself off like that, plus the black undies under the light clothing...

And her partner/pimp/whatever was as above in Paddy's Mum's post... tiny t-shirt, huge hairy belly...

I couldn't help sniggering (rather loudly)

[Andy Hamilton]

People who don't press the button at pelican crossings.

Putting the toilet roll on top of the holder rather than on it.

Wearing too much hairspray and perfume/aftershave - I am allergic to most and can't sit next to anyone like that. It can be a nightmare on long distance coach journeys where I can hardly breathe.

People who use their car to go to the local shops.

[Wombat]

Putting the toilet roll on top of the holder rather than on it.

Thats me!

Shop assisstants who stand around yacking while you are waiting to be served.

people who let their children go on and on and on nagging for somethng then they give in to them - if you were going to give in, why not do it in the begining and save us from hearing all that whinning?

people who join in live music by clapping.. only completely miss the beat..

cigarette filters.. particularly if left in my garden.

People who think we are unreasonable for not letting them smoke in our home

air freshner - particularly the kind that squirts stuff every so often. HATE IT

[the.fee.fairy]

air freshner - particularly the kind that squirts stuff every so often. HATE IT

Ooh, i agree with that one too!!

And:

People who let small children run around in shops/pubs/markets/anywhere that is not designed for small children to play in it!

To add to that one: people who think that everyone else should be responsible for their offspring, yet fail to do any disciplining/taking responsibility themselves!


Phones that ring and ring and people don't answer

landlords

The ridiculously small minimum wage paid

*a controversial one* The amount of people living on benefits whilst not bothering to get a job (i'm talking about those that are perfectly capable of working, but just refuse to), the amount of women getting pregnant to get a council house (I have a friend who comes into that category, and it winds me up no end - she has the house, the kids, the car, everything gets paid for her. I work over-full time and i can't afofrd to get a house/rent somewhere).

I'll step off the soapbox now...don't want to get too offensive or start airing even more controversial views...

[hamster]

Air-conditioning.

People who talk in libraries.

People who don't wash up properly (mainly in shared kitchens, where other people are going to be using the stuff... you can do what you like if it doesn't affect anyone else).

Homicidal maniac bus drivers.

AND: Cyclists who moan about homicidal maniac bus/car drivers and then go through red lights.

Knuckle-cracking, nail-biting.

Tomatoes that have been in the fridge.

People who think I'm weird for not eating strawberries in the middle of January.

[hamster]

Oh, and Old French nouns.

Ooh, I turned into Jerry. That's exciting!
