Your irrational, petty dislikes

Esp' in print: then when it should than..
Media using Tee side when they mean Teesside (won't spell it wrong, so it won't go into my dictionary)
 
Companies who think it's cool to misspell basic words in their names.
Worst for me is Aberdeen who've rebranded as Abrdn. That makes them appear delinquent to me rather than someone I'd trust with an investment.
 
Definitely people referring to footballers and other athletes by their first name as if they're mates, can't stand it.

I find it even more irritating with the likes of Ikpeazu and Assombalonga because I'm fairly sure it's just laziness and they can't be bothered trying to say/spell the name.

As somebody who suffers with ARFID, I've had to put up with this all my life. Some people are fascinated, some are understanding, some are helpful, some are unhelpful, some are rude and some are ignorant.

Since you posted your comment, somebody else has nominated "picky eaters over the age of 5" as their dislike, which I guess shows the other side of the coin.

You've made me feel bad now about all the times I laughed at Harry Hill reviewing 'Freaky Eaters'!

I'll admit to being guilty of doing that sometimes. It's not because I don't know how to spell their surnames most of the time though. It's just quicker and easier to type Uche or Britt and it's not like people on here won't know who you're talking about. But I usually refer to Anfernee as Anfernee because I do have real trouble remembering how to spell Dijksteel.
 
I'll add to that:

Another one for "Influencers" aye f**k off!

Using bad grammar when they're meant to be in a position of setting an example
"I arkse you" or using was instead of were...footballers and pundits are shocking for it.

Stringing out a TV show for 2 hours when it could be barely 45 mins
 
Good Morning Britain.

Full of people being very opinionated about things they usually don't fully understand.

Plus Andy Peters being Andy Peters.
 
Noisy motorbicycles. Grow up saddos.

People at crossings that for some reason haven't pressed the button. How long were they going to wait for if I didn't show up and press it?

When you see christmas trees put out with peoples rubbish from February onwards. Have these bozos really had this dead pile of twigs in their living room for 3+ months?

Why would they have to have kept it in their living room?!
 
Bit of a specific one but hopefully someone else has shared this pain: if you play boardgames with people, and you're usually the one in your group to explain the rules basically the whole experience is frought with irritation.

There's a group I try and get a games night in with once a month at work. I'll usually sent a link to the instructions in advance, or a youtube video where the rules are explained. When I get there has anybody looked? Have they f*ck.

Fine, then I start explaining the rules. Someone will start yapping to the person next to them. 5 minutes later they're saying "oh you didn't tell us this bit"! I f*cking did actually!

Where are you thinking? Kitchen? Bathroom? :unsure: I'm standing by living room. The threads meant to be irrational anyway. 🤣 I assume they just keep them stood next to the telly until the last baubles finally fallen off.

I'm thinking more garage or garden. That's where ours goes!

Then I'm sorry Wilkos but you're on my list of irrational annoyances!

I have never willingly bought a Christmas tree. I've been forced to have one in the house by ex girlfriends but I always insisted on an artificial one. One of the advantages of being single again is that I don't have to put up with Christmas decorations.
