Pet hates ?

[122345]

What REALLY annoys you. For me it is the saying ''Well you can talk''. Just because you are not perfect does not mean you can't have a negative opinion of someone.

have you ever seen room 101.i think its a really good show."celebs" get to tell everyone their pet hates and have a laugh in the process.my pet hates would have to be novelty songs,the whole boyband/girlband thing and the celebraty obsessed culture.honestly why do people have to know everything about their fave celeb.beats me

[milly143]

Everything. I'm one of those annoying people that most people would class as one of their pet hates. To me, everyting is annoying. oh dear. :-)

[snook]

What really annoys me? Basically, the way people use certain words out of context and often without attaching any of the original meaning to them. There�s loads of them, basically, but only one that basically gets me white-knuckled and teeth-grindingly angry. I�m basically fed up with hearing people (even journalists, who should know better) starting sentences with the bl00dy word. Basically, people can�t be ar$ed to formulate a sentence without uttering it at least once. What annoys me about all this, basically, is that there�s neither rhyme nor reason to it, as far as I can see. It�s basically just a lazy habit formed from hearing other morons repeating what is basically a lazy way of speaking. And being lazy ba$tards, these people just basically copy what they heard.

There�s another reason why it annoys me � basically, it devalues the word. If I find myself using the word I have to basically do a mental double-check to make sure I�m using the word correctly. If I ever heard myself using the word in the way it�s most often used nowadays (i.e., nonsensically) I think, well, basically, I�d have to shoot myself.

OK, biggest first - people who use the moronic interogative, as Rory McGrath described it - raising the voice at the end of a sentence, even though it's not a question?

People who nod their heads when they say something, as though subconciously agreeing with themselves.

People who shout into mobile phones. I know it's human nature to raise your voice so you can hear yourself above the noise around you, but that means everyone else gets to hear youas well.

People who, when you say 'Thank you', say 'Thank you' back, for no reason whatsoever.

OK, I'll stop now, I can feel one of my 'heads' coming on again .....

[magicbeatle]

People that tut. clickety clackety shoes. People who are incompetant at their jobs. Massive umbrellas that poke your eye out on crowded streets.

snook - my head literally fell off with laughter when i read your post. i am literally racking my brains trying to think of literally the best thing i can think of that annoys me most.

i literally explode when people make instant assumptions, with no real considered thought to their perception, and then that becomes fact for them, and they feel no need to assess the situation further to see if they were initially wrong.

there are too many other things that irritate me - i'd be here all week!

Personalised number plates.

D2458 VWE, what does that say? If you squint a bit and pretend a couple of numbers don't exist it, and stick a bolt over part of one of the digits, it says "Dave".

M8 RON, that says moron.

These plates are totally ficticious, any resemblence to a real pillocks plates is totally coincidental (that's why I put an extra digit in the first one to make it obsolete).

My wife talking while i'm trying to read the paper.

[mycatis]

OK
People saying "the bigger half, (NO NO NO)
"thats your opinion" OF COURSE it's my opinion you fool, who elses opinion would I be giving you??
"money is the root of all evil" (If you must preach at me, at least get it right!)
Carol Vordeman (just because I do)
God I could be here all day :-)

[mycatis]

Oh, oh, oh and
people who say "I'll take that off you!!" WHAT? Is it on their head or something? I doubt it. I heard a BBC newsreader say this once! I nearly put my foot through the TV

I also remember a red mist once, hearing some idiot on one of those flog it type shows saying "His house is literally bursting at the seams" Really?? He should probably get someone in about that. Aaaarrrggghhh!

[Drusilla]

Middle aged women who immerse themselves in the whole drippy, hippy vibe, wear gypsy clothes and speak in a mellow, low voice and say, 'Oh man, it was like, so cool!'

[Drusilla]

Milly's answer reminds me of the characterf rom the Fast Show, who walks around the scrap yard saying things like,
'Brokeback Mountain? That's rubbish! And I-pods, they're rubbish!'

[MissBoots]

People who say "you know what I mean" at the end of every sentence.

[mindimplode]

Scallies. Although in all honesty, scallies venture into a whole new realm of hatred.

[mindimplode]

Know what I mean?

snook is top of my agreement list so far, followed in joint second place by andy-hughes, henneth and mycatis.

My contribution is people who call radio phone in programmes and begin by asking the presenter 'How are you?' The presenter has already been asked the same question by the previous twenty or so callers and unless his or her health has deteriorated rapidly the answer should be the same.

Before anyone suggests that this merely being polite, I will say it is not; merely another candy-floss beginning like 'basically'.

The only time I welcome the phrase is when I answer the telephone and it is followed by the caller telling me he is Tony/Paul/Fred calling from a mobile phone/double glazing/insurance company. I then have the opportunity to inform him of any ailment, injury or other reason I am not OK. A few minutes of this usually works.

I hate it when people say "cheer up, it might never happen". Now, I don't think I've got a particularly miserable looking face (perhaps I should ask my nearest and dearest) but neither do I want to walk around grinning maniacally like the proverbial Cheshire cat!. Perhaps I should get a bit part in "Grumpy Old Women"?

[bob57]

kenzie that means you hate me as that is one my sayings I use it to break the ice with strangers in a queue for something or other and do you something else it works

[Kenzie]

No, I don't hate you bob57! But it would be nice if you could ring the changes a bit and think of a different icebreaker!

[bob57]

I do use other ones like smile the person smiles then I go yuk
