Name 5 things you hate which people consider to be unusual

Post Reply New Topic

I went a little overboard with the dirty diaper joke last night. I was a little touchy about the dirty diaper comment and I guess I wanted to make a point that there are incontinent people who post here. I also know those people would turn on me if they found that out about me in person.

1. Babies/children.
2. Water/swimming/showers.
3. Socks.
4. Parties.
5. Fluorescent lights.

The sound of someone sliding a sweaty palm or a bare foot against anything wooden (wood floors, banisters, tables, ect). OMG does that drive me up the wall. Just something about the sound my brain cannot take. Just thinking about makes me wince.

1) Would have to agree with many of the other posters here...I hate, hate, HATE babies. Toddlers/older kids are okay, but I'm not as crazy about them as I used to be...and I would never ever have one.

2) Meat. I am picked on and interrogated endlessly for this one. Just accept the fact that I don't eat it. It's really none of your business.

3) Cars. Not only do I have difficulty driving sometimes, I hate how people rely on them so much...especially if there's a car on the road and only one person is driving. There needs to be more public transportation everywhere: it would be better for the environment and gas prices would go down.

4) The fact that the middle class is shrinking, especially in the US. There's something infuriating about that.

5) People throwing recyclable items in trash cans, or not putting things in the garbage.

1. Toilets
2. Flies
3. Make up
4. Art
5. Socialising

1. useless cliches and platitudes why do they even exist? Has anyone ever been helped by a platitude being quoted at them?
2. senseless giggling by teenage girls it reminds me of hyenas; feeding off the whines/noise of the other pack members until it becomes a loud and obnoxious cacophony.
3. people unwilling to discuss anything that may be unpleasant no matter how important it often seems to me that if everyone on Earth somehow contracted a deadly virus, and would die if they did not choose one of two available cures, most of the population would be wiped out because they chose to avoid the difficult issue until it was too late.
4. singing from nonprofessionals I do not mind people singing alone, it is when they expect me to listen to it is the problem.
5. people that freak the hell out when you disagree with them no matter how delicately I attempt to explain my point it always ends badly and somehow I am always seen as at fault.

I've just realized how many things I strongly dislike. A lot of them match what has been already said.

1. Fluorescent lights
2. The feel of plastic, especially rough (or "bumpy") plastic; not a big fan of other hard rough surfaces, either, like metal or some glass that isn't smoothly polished.
3. The overexpressive chit chat that people tend to engage in. While they do some kind of emotional bonding over it, I don't understand it and it just gets on my nerves. I prefer emotionless, logical and fact-based conversation (doesn't mean I'm emotionless, though, I just experience my emotions privately and not relationally).
4. Greasy hands. Gotta wash them! All the time!
5. Those foods that do not have enough substance to them to be chewable,like Jello and some cereals
6. Any high-pitched sounds
7. Any felt fakeness or overexaggeration of positive while ignoring the negatives from people

i think this thread has turned into a 'what annoys you?' thread, not a 'what annoys you what other people would consider unusual not to like?' thread. I'm Nt but at least 1 thing on everyones list here annoys me too.

I usually do not hate something for no reason, so it is actually mostly a "things that annoy you"-list.

Oh wow, while reading this thread, I realized I have much in common with some people here. I think I'm often misunderstood since I have quite a few things that I hate which people don't understand.

1. People seem to be unable to understand my sensitivity about noises, they appear to accept that I do not like being touched, but apparently this one is a riddle to their minds...
2. Babies, I am somewhat fine with them if they are more than a year old though, but those little things that drool, look ugly to me, are loud and screaming/crying a lot, simply those imperfect, recently born miniature humans are real mood killers to me, however, I try to avoid mentioning this to others as the answer I usually got was: "How can you say that? They're sooooo cute!" I don't know, maybe if one day I should ever have children myself (as unlikely this sounds to me, I probably won't exclude that as I don't know how the future will be) my point of view on that one will change due to primitive instincts being active (parental care-feeling and such) - or not.
3. Noises made with lips, like smacking one's lips, or any other sound that is similar. I once literally freaked out in the living room. This is probably so stupid, but I cannot take it, I must control myself to stay calm. My family didn't and still doesn't understand that which led to confrontations, basically arguments. This is one of many reasons I prefer eating upstairs in my room. Humming can be bothering as well - if done wrong. :S
4. People playing music through mobile phone speakers in public - I am not interested in your music and especially not if it is not even one of my preferred genres!! ! Thanks goodness that trend seems to vanish, a few years it was much worse.
5. People chit chatting and/or giggling for no reason. Today when I went back by train to my hometown from a little shopping trip, there were two girls behind me, one of which had legs on the seats on the other side. A passenger kindly asked her to take them down (for obvious reasons), she did so, but then, maybe after like 2 minutes both girls started giggling and... argh, highly annoying.

• Software that changes in layout - especially OS! I'm fine with small changes but scrapping a feature that was part of that program or OS since the beginning is just... I feel like I'm missing words to describe that... (I'm looking at you, Microsoft...)
• People whispering in a library, giggling as a result of that, etc.. When I'm in a library I expect silence, it's not a place for small talk! I'm fine with people asking for a book they can't find, or people walking around, that is absolutely normal. I think it's things that I do not expect and I usually have expectations about every place, this is probably a reason for the following thing.
• Loud TV in the living room. This may be part of noises, but I think it is worth being mentioned as a standalone issue. It's like walking into the living room and being hit by an invisible wall. I know it is normal that a TV can be on, but it's the volume. I have a certain volume of "unwanted noise" that I am fine with, the TV in the living room is usually above that level.
• Litter being thrown to the ground (especially when there is a trashcan nearby).
• People that freak out just because you are yourself - especially if it is an argumentation and I just have better arguments. It's like no matter how mildly I state the person is wrong, I'm always guilty and I'm always the bad guy who is stubborn, an idiot, unwilling to change (this one could be true though). This makes me feel more like I'm a weirdo who does not fit into society and is not welcome there and it actually hurts me deep inside because I had this feeling for most of my life, but I guess these people think "so what?" just because I cannot really express that feeling of being hurt... This is especially a problem in chat where it is pretty much impossible to express your emotion, if not emoticons... but I prefer to not use them in a (rational) argumentation.

- Women's clothing
- Shoes
- TV and radio
- Stay alone in a corner and watch people
- Labels on clothes

1) Really strong scented smells
2) Cologne
3) Ticking clocks
4) The majority of womens shoes - Like the look, but its just not comfortable even flats. The bottom is so flat, it feels hard, I need the comfort of sneakers
5) Sleeping cuddled or very close with a partner - no matter how much I <3 you, I still need plenty of space when I sleep.
