So, anyone got things which really wind them up even though, really, they ought to just get a grip and chill?

Mine is people calling girlfriends 'other half' - wait till your married, same goes for missus, short for mrs

I've no idea why it winds me up

How is Missus short for Mrs?

Omg my most hated hatred is the sound of scrubbing a carpet. ARRGGH No way can I listen to it.

Me too, I hate it when people rub their hands on carpets (this usually only happens after I tell people how much I hate it)

Drivers who don't indicate :mad:

Drivers who can't use roundabouts :mad:

People who don't like the phrase "Okey Dokey" :mad:

People on mobile phones on public transport,
Loud, annoying ringtones that people have recorded...they're always rotten songs aswell,
People that eat fast, and with their mouth open,
People that watch the TV with the volume up really loud,

I could go on, but I wont...

[edit]

How could I forget....

I hate it when somebody with long finger nails tries to point something out in a magazine and scrapes the nail against the page making an horrible sound. My mum did this allot

agw_01 · 6 Sep 2006 at 20:27

Oh, I forgot...

People who lick their fingers before turning pages

Someone at work does this and it really winds me up.

The sound makes me cringe... slurpppppp

Thats not an irrational hatred

I hate it when people refer to their girlfriend/wife as "Mrs Username" :mad:

when your sitting in a quite room and you can hear people eating, this really, really winds me up. Its not as if there loud eaters or anything.

I'm just a freak.

I really hate people who are loud eaters but arn't trying to be quiet, i.e. eating with mouth open like a dog.

It annoys me so much I sometimes have to leave the room when I have friends/family over. It also sounds disgusting.

Okey Dokey.

EDIT

I mean, I have an irrational hatred of people saying "Okey Dokey"

Could be worse mate, an old colleague of mine was well known for saying

"okey dokey matey blokey"

Yes, I did punch him in the ovaries.

When my partner is just about to drop off to sleep, her breathing relaxes and her throat makes this clicking sound every breath she takes.. drives me fricking mad and I have to kick her

I try to get to sleep before she does but because I'm thinking about it I can't relax and hence don't get to sleep easily.

It's real quiet but it will wake me in the night and I have to go sleep downstairs on the sofa sometimes..

Pretty sure it's just the "proper" version, as "mister" is to "Mr.".

i have an irrational hatred of complete people!

i have no idea why, there are just certain people that completely and totally **** me off and they havent done anything wrong!

and i'm not just talking annoy me slightly so just ignore them, i'm talking complete hatred

Omg I thought that was only me. Some ppl just really annoy me for no reason. As they haven't done anything I can't bring myself to be nasty to them, they just make my skin crawl... Only ever happened with maybe 4 ppl in my entire life :confused:

And yes, I am a girl...

I eat really fast, its just natural. Why on earth do you hate that?

Have you heard of the phrase 'I don't eat to live, I live to eat?'

I just find that people who eat fast don't appreciate what they're eating.

Yes, American women seem to do this often. Sometimes very loudly on the bus. I hate it, very annoying.

I have a hatred of tmesis - putting a word in the middle of another word, like "Abso-blooming-lutely".

MarkST · 6 Sep 2006 at 21:09

I hate people who say 'ma bird' referring to their girlfriends.
