pet hates

[drussila]

 What Pet Hates do Answer Bank members have. Here are a few of mine, Queue jumpers, junk mail, unsolicited phone calls, canvassers, people discussing their private life or texting( the clicking noise gets on my nerves) on public transport and people standing in the middle of shop isles when I'm in a hurry!

Bernardo, I re-read your list and realised I'd inadvertently repeated the essence of your No 78. Sorry; it was a result of hasty reading and excessive chortling, albeit at your mode of expression rather than the content of your list. As pale-skinned, articulate, liberal, humanitarian linguists go, you rant very well!

[EssJay1]

Oh Bernardo, you leave so little to add.
People who clog the ground floor of multi-storey car parks waiting for a space when the upper floor are empty.
Cold callers who pretend to be English, when the accent clearly gives them away.
Asda's resealable pasta packets - I've never managed to yet.
The fact that the weekend is only 2 days long and I've got to go to work again on Monday.

When you've just plated up your chicken balls and egg fried rice and as you peel the lid off the curry sauce, it takes a chunk out of the polystrene and stupid amounts of little plastic balls end up in your dinner

Barnardo, re no. 121, It could also be his nephew

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Beginning to go out of focus at the no. of pet hates certain people have! A few of mine include *unfortunately i have neither the time nor patience to list all of them - lucky bernardo!!*:

• Glory supporters/hunters. People who support/leech on to a team/a gang only because they are currently on form/popular.
• People who have a particular opinion based on the fact its popular, pc, un-cool not to etc. Persons one refers to as "sheep".
• Elder members of community feeling it nescessary to patronise as they are more "worldy"/have more wrinkles *interchange as appropriate*.
• People who don't recgonsie sarcasm *indeed i am one of these people *hangs head in shame**.
• People who believe young people can never be truly passionate about something.
• Being used as on-tap baby-sitter without my own consent.
• Men who's male-pride deflates visably when they find out I like football and have the cheek to be female too.
• Touching paper with wet hands *gives me shivers - don't know why*.
• Argentines who smirk irritatingly when they receive a reaction from me at the word "Maradona", yet feel agreaved and unfairly treated when i reply with the word "Falklands".
• People who find it fun to drive through puddles when girl on way to school walks on pavemnet beside.
• People who form their own opinions on certain subjects, then decide that everyone elses opinion must therefore be completely wrong.

Phew! I think i will shut up now.

The way nearly everyone in my area dresses the same:Pale pink,blue,yellow,white or shocking pink tracksuits,really ugly nike runers,gold, heavy, fake, ugly jewellery,really straight half blond half dark brown hair for women.Tommy pale blue and white striped jumpers,tight jeans,ugly runners,gold rings and stupid buzzed heads for men!What the heck is wrong with ear length or even shoulder length hair on a man?It looks way better!The way when you say "excuse me" to someone they say it back,I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,Ant and Dec,and that annoying ****,Geri Halliwell.         

P.S.Don't hate me for what I said,it's just my opinion.It was great to get that off my chest.

[the freak]

I have another one to add to my list:Christians who hate and or say Harry Potter is evil!I am a Christian,(or Catholic,I'm not sure to be honest)and I think it rocks.

running out of dope.

I must admit, I was getting so irate reading these posts (not at the answers at them reminding meof all mypet hates) that I skim read and will more than likely repeat many.  Anyway,here goes:

• People that stand in a long queue then when their items have been scanned they decide that they'll delve in their bag and begin looking for their purse.
• Goths - they wear the same black chunky boots, stripey tights, leather jackets, black/ flourescent pink hair, black make up/ nail varnish, occassional kooky contact lenses, studded jewellery, peircings, to be individual.  Go figure.
• People who make that slurpy noise when drinking tea
• Smokers that say things like "Mmmm, what a lovely cigarette... would you like one? Oh I forgot you're giving up" when you have given up.  Get a life.  Or shorten it. Your choice.
• Slim people who offer you cake, etc when theyknow you are on a diet just to make a point of saying "Ooooh, I forgot you are on a diet. How's that going?  I'm so lucky I can eat what I like......"
• John McCririk (not because of Big Brother - I'vealways thought he was a t*t)

[natalie_1982]

• Mothers who ask their kids if the "want a f*cking slap?" in a scrawny, whiney, screechy voice
• Mothers/ fathers that feedtheir kids fast food every day
• Seeing kids at four years oldstill running round with a bottle hanging out of their gob
• Parents swearing at kids in public (not condoning it at home by any stretch of the imagination!)
• General rudeness/ impoliteness
• Inconsiderate people
• Adults that tell me I don't know I'm born.  Yes I do.  And I will continue to argue that life quite possibly, if not equal to, is harder than it was 50 years ago.  Tried buying a house lately?  How about retaking your driving test?

[natalie_1982]

• People that say "innit" and snap their fingers like Ali G, and they're not mimicking him.  They're for real.
• People that wear so much 'bling' they look like a gypsy (apologies to travellers)
• Jehovah's Witnesses (again, apologies)
• Being repeatedly asked "are you ok?"
• Cold callers in general (Sorry once more, I know it's someone's job and I have done it myself so I'm not rude to them but they p*ss me off!)

[natalie_1982]

• Questions in Art and Literature section on Harry Potter that don't explain that they're referring to HP e.g. "Why can't I get in the door?".  I don't know.
• The Cheeky Girls
• Busted
• McFly
• Blazin' Squad
• My sister in law
• People who only have a few interesting stories to tell, so tell them often(that doesn't include people with medical conditions that cannot remember/ do not know that they have already told you)
• Jim Davidson
• Roy Chubby Brown
• Debbie Deane from Hollyoaks
• Dick and Dom's Bungalow
• Michael Ball
• Michael Flatley

1. People (particularly those across the Atlantic) who refer to Britain as 'England' and Scotland as 'England'.

2. Ebay bidders who don't pay!

3. Linda Barker and those TERRIBLE ads she does!

4. Just getting everything fixed - e.g. car, microwave etc, and something else breaks!!

5. Used car dealers who think they can look down on you cos you're a woman

6. People who stop still in the street when you're clearly RIGHT BEHIND THEM. I wish someone would start a national campaign to make these people aware that when you stop infront of someone who's behind you - they will walk into you!!

7. AB not fixing the techie problems that have been going on for, let's face it, FAR too long!

[natalie_1982]

• The worst possible for me is definitely people who say pacifically instead of specifically.  For Pete Sake it's an ocean!!
• The term "Monday week" - mostly because I'm never sure when people mean.
• Nail biters
• Exchange students that stand outside McDonalds' everywhere and refuse to move ensuring everybody, including the elderly, parents with pushchairs, wheelchair users and children, have to walk around and along the road side.
• Ignorance
• People who cannot accept that others have different opinions to their own

[KittyGlitter]

Office geeks that say "Good afternoon" when you arrive in late to work.

People that noisily lick their fingers when preparing food.

Extreme political correctness, which I believe, is making too much of a deal out of people's differences and is therefore being non PC! Surely we should just treat everyone normally?

People who eat whilst holding their knife like a pen and/or their fork like a shovel.

People who say "Two pound" instead of "Two pounds".

Roads with endless roundabouts.

When people express their emotions in emails by writing them in squiggly brackets. For example, ...."I'm really fed up today ~sighs~ " Arrrrrrgh!

Work do's, when you end up snogging some creep out of desperation or getting stuck with someone you never talk to at work and are then forced to listen to them drone on for hours.

Bah humbug.

[Haggisdj]

Bernado, I'm a bit confused about answer 51.  Do you peanuts as in nuts or Peanuts the cartoon character...

[greenday]

People who whinge...

 

Only joking B!

[natalie_1982]

Every time I go to click onto next page it sends me back to homepage.  That's a fairly big pet hate.
