Pet hates

[Kirki]

What annoys you the most? With me it's the way people eat with their mouths open and make that awful slapping sound with their mouths - it really, absolutely drives me so mad that i have to leave the room. Nobody else i know seems to be bothered by this though!

[wilsarnie]

people sneezing & coughing without putting a hand over their mouths. I can just see little particles of wetness flying all over me in slow motion when they do it. Eurgh.

[AliFlump]

People not saying thank you when you hold a door for them or something, What happened to manners?!

[Kirki]

Yes i agree with both of those answers!! i recently went on a 17hour coach trip to amsterdam and on the way back absolutely everyone had a cough. it was so annoying and i was convinced that i was going to catch some sort of nasty bug because nobody put their hand over their mouth and to top it off i had a really noisy eater behind me all the way there!!

[hannahjo]

I agree with all the above, plus I have to add
Litter dropping � do people like living in a rubbish tip?!
Spitting in the streets � just disgusting!
When people spell my name wrong � petty I know, but come on, H-A-N-N-A-H, not exactly hard is it?!

God I�m such a grumpy old fart�

[Englishbird]

I cannot BEAR the sound of people eating. It makes me gag. It's worst in quite situations, if the bloke in my office starts eating at his desk i just have to get up and walk out. A little extreem i guess, but to me it's like nails down a blackboard, I just cannot stand it.

[libertie]

People sniffing........it drives me CRAZY!!!

[Drusilla]

I agree Kirki. I just hate that slappy mouth sound. I also hate street spitters, coughers who share and bad manners, but the one that drives me insane is the snorter.
Some men snort so loudly it sounds like a roll of thunder, leaving you with the disgusting mind-image of thick, greasy phlegm rolling down a throat. I've even walked out of a business meeting with a persistent snorter and lost a lot of money as a result. I don't regret it though!

Noisy food at work, primarily CRISPS and apples !! I loathe the rustle rustle of the bag then the scrunch scrunch munch munch, usually a few feet behind me, and with the person still gazing into a computer screen. Hence I keep headphones and CDs at work to dive into for escape.

[maggie01]

I suppose it's on the same lines but Chewing Gum. I hate it when it's in peoples mouths and when it finally reaches the pavements. People talk and laugh with it in their mouths and it's gross

[indieanna86]

When people shorten my name and start calling me Ann instead of Anna, it really really really reeeeeally bugs me!! Or they do the complete opposite and call me Hannah, oooh it makes me mad, grrrr!

[andy-hughes]

Agree with all the above, and to add -

a two pronged hate is people who speak with the moronic interogative - raising their voices at the end of every sentence? Add to that, people who talk that way loudly on mobile phones ... aaaaarrrrggghhhhh!

My other major hatred is people who don't carry tissues or a hankie. I never leave the house without a clean hankie - and i loathe seeing people getting 'emotional' on tv and then dabbing their eyes and noses with their fingers. Carry a blankin' HANKIE!!!!!

[shaneystar2]

I agree with all of the above..I loathe coughers and spitters..but my pet hate is people who don't wash. I had occasion to sit next someone on the bus recently who stunk of stale sweat.It made me heave and I had to get off and wait for another bus.It was unbearable.I feel like carrying a bar of soap around in my bag and offering it to people like this and believe me there are a lot of them about....Yuk !!

[lilyfrog]

Lateness - I cant bear to say anymore than this, If I have the ability to make it on time then so do they!

[loopyc]

oh god where do i start i will just put 5 or i would be here all day.

1 ignorant people

2 men blaming women drivers for there mistakes (sorry men)

3 when f*** is used as every other word.

4 being asked whats happening every ten mins in a film

5 old people shopping ( nothing against old people but why must they hold meetings in the middle of shopping centers)

[Trojanfarce]

LOL and agree with all of the above and to add two of my own:

People who refuse point blank to drive anywhere other than the middle lane on a motorway even if they're (virtually) the only car on the road

People who don't/can't be bothered to use indicators. I've found this expecially prevalent since I moved to Wales!!

[Kirki]

i totally agree with the indicator thing.. ive crashed into people purposely many times because they havnt had their indicators on just to prove a point!

Another pet hate is that in the office where i work, the teaspoons are always left in the washing up bowl, always in freezing cold greasy water, so you have to dig around in the dirty bowl to make a cup of tea!!! argghhhh

and another thing i agree with is people who stop in aisles at the supermarket to talk especially when their trolleys are blocking the aisle. if they havnt got hold of their trolley i usually push it out of the way so i can get past and then watch the confused look on their face when they wonder where it is!!!

Sniffers also annoy me too- for goodness sake get a boomin tissue!!

People who slurp their cuppa's also annoy me - if it's too hot either wait for it to cool down or add some more milk!!

Oh dear, seems i have alot of pet hates...

[Kirki]

* bloomin tissue i meant

[WendyS]

• Lack of punctuality.


• Lack of "thank you" letters or phone calls for gifts.


• Mobiles switched on during meals.


• People who still think it's OK to make hand-held mobile calls when driving.


• Litter louts


• Hairdressers & barbers who don't sweep up the hair from the floor after each customer's haircut..

Could go on but just realised I'm beginning to sound like Mrs. Victoria Meldrew!
