People who use the word 'bless'. And not the after they've sneezed bless. Especially blokes that do it.
People who do silly dances when something goes right.
When girls out eyelashes on their car.
Really overly friendly people. Especially in the morning.
Awww bless.
Does a 70's boogie to celebrate the fact I quoted you.
No idea about the eyelashes..that was just 'whoosh'
You are a wonderfully balanced and brilliant poster, and I just want to hug you until the day BBC News 24 finally goes off air...mmm mmmmm mmmmm. Loadsa hearts and kisses....xxxx
People who come to see you and talk, talk, talk about themselves and won't let you get a word in and don't ask you about yourself or family. Then when they finally run out of things to say and you think that you might be able to say something to them, they get up and say that they must go because they are so busy. It really gets to me. >:(
I had someone come round supposedly to see me last night and she talked all about her holidays and people that I didn't know and a wedding she is going to for over an hour. She know that I have had a holiday and didn't ask about that, she also knew that I have been having important tests at the hospital and didn't ask about that either. Then just as I tought I might be able to say something, up she got and rushed off because she didn't have time to stay any longer. Grrrr.
Another thing that makes me cringe is when you are at a meeting or gathering of lots of people. You wait for ages to speak to someone, being polite and not interuppting their conversation with someone else. Then just as you start to speak to them, someone else comes up and completely interrups between you and says their bit and you still can't speak to the person you wanted to. People seem so rude these days.
I don't mind sincere emotion at all. It's the opportunistic, here come the violins, offhand manipulation I don't like. I guess really it's insincerity that annoys me when it comes to important things that should be heartfelt. That and obvious emotional manipulation. Not that everything should be dry and sincere but some things should be genuine.
I know someone who completely changes the way they talks and act with a certain person.... everything's either 'hun', 'huni' or 'sweetie' and it makes me cringe as I know this person doesn't talk that way in real life.... doesn't really have much of a conversation span at all, to be honest, and not a big vocabulary, never mind regularly use these awful terms. This person is a fully grown adult, so it's even more embarrassing. Why try to 'fit in' when you're not like that in reality? It's just awkward for all who is unfortunate enough to see and hear it and makes you look stupid, IMO. If that's how you talk, fine, carry on.... but just to be like others? Nah!
I'm still cringing from giving a public speech the other day to about 200 students. Was praised by many as I have never spoken in public before. But I'm still cringing.
the word 'trending'
Morning radio dj's, why do they think they are all at a party, its morning! and we're all trying to work so just shut up and play some decent music without repeating it every hour!

Fibromite, your post completely sums up how I feel about some people at the moment. It's like you are being talked at rather than having a proper conversation . It's so frustrating.

That's good that someone else feels like I do. I know a person who looks all around the room when you talk to her making you feel like you must be really boring her, yet when she is talking (and she is very boring) I give her my full attention as I like to be polite.
Another person once suggested that we got together to look at each other's holiday photos as we had both been away to interesting holidays. We met one evening and out came her photos and she spent ages on each one telling me every little detail of them. Then when she came to the end of them, she shot up and said that she must be off home. I said that I hadn't shown her mine yet, and she said that I had been too long looking at hers and time had run out and she had to go home and that she would arrange to come to see mine another time. Needless to say, she never did. >:(

That's just self-centeredness. You don't need egocentric people in your life, they are toxic and suck the joy out of every situation. Rather than hoping they'll change, find some better friends, ones who will cherish you, and respect you. Restrict contact with Little Miss Selfish to the occasional coffee, to let her talk at you some more, and you'll find her almost bearable that way
I so agree with you on this one. It makes me want to vomit.
Mumsnet acronyms are ludicrous - and who the heck refers to their partner and offspring as 'darling husband, darling son, darling daughter' etc? As for the other, lesser used acronyms, the less said, the better. EWCM anyone?
people spelling come as 'cum'
hearing peoples eating sounds
I walk past the same big issue seller every day at least 2-4 times. we are now obliged to say hello each time
drunk people talking to me in the street
people expecting the whole bus/tube to be interested in their baby
reading my own texts i sent whilst merry the next day
People calling women 'females'. it reminds me of something out of Crimewatch.
Ricky Gervais. Keith Lemon. Alan Partridge.
'Huni' or 'Chic' meant as 'chick'. i don't mind if someone wants to cal me 'chic', meaning fashionable, elegant and glamorous, but that's a lie, so i know it's in the "i can only speak in platitudes" way.
These dicks that do that uptalk when they speak, like they're asking a question but they're only making a statement. I think it originated in Australia and California.

I agree with you Frankie. The first one I mentioned I don't bother with now. The second one, I put off for ages and then very occasionally meet up with her for a very short time. I have much better friends then those were.
I also don't like the way some people email me to ask something then I answer back quickly and then they don't respond to me. Or the way some people have an email address and say that they never look at their emails. Well, why have an address if you never use it? People can be very strange.

I know someone whose wife has a phobia of Elvis impersonators. She's ok with the real thing but becomes a total wreck if she sees an impersonator.
