Irrational dislikes anybody?

[Wedg1e]

Some one left a cake out in the rain,
I dont think I can take it
it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have the recipe again.

Sounds like something by the Barron Knights circa 1976...

Arthur Clarke was studying to make
his green beans biggest in the land
So that he could win the flower show
But his book by Percy Thrower
Got shredded in the mower
And he couldn't work out how to make them grow
Oh no!

etc etc...

The announcements between TV programmes done in a fake over the top Geordie accent and the Go Compare opera singing moron have me reaching for the mute button, and we buy any car adverts.

Wedgie, had you been drinking when you came up with that lovely lyric.

Oh another hatred.
Bloody piles of sodding food containers in a cupboard with that lids that done bloody fit and have to be chucked across the kitchen and oput back again every time I want the lid to my pink sandwich box, the My Little Pony one.
Why do my wife and child laugh at me???

Chunko'.

don't know if these have appeared previously:

Cars not parked between the lines in a car park - I can manage it so why can't everyone else.

Conifers - touching or brushing up against one makes my skin crawl

Food grease - can't bear to touch really greasy food, happy as a pig in poo up to my elbows in engine oil though.

Do gooders who go on about my choice of vehicle.

I could go on.....

Hammerite, a triumph of marketing over performance as its guaranteed to disintregrate at the slightest showing of a hammer. you might as well use emulsion paint.

People typing "brought" instead of "bought" annoys me a little.

eg; i went and brought some welding rods from the shop.

I understand that the above is a perfectly reasonable sentence but not when the person is meaning to say they were buying something and not bringing something.

It wasnt on here that ive noticed it to be honest and the people using it where i did notice were not doing so out to bad spelling, purely out of thinking that was the word they should use and consistently using it.

Also is dyslexia not were you muddle the letters up rather than adding letters that shouldnt be there in the first place, as is the case with brought/ bought? Or both?

Ha! You need to meet my wife, she says 'boughtened'! As in, "Oh, they look lovely, are they home-made or boughtened?"
She also pronounces salad as salid!

one of our driver was dyslexic you should have seen his work sheet

wikipedia states

Common signs: Sentences often containing a similar-looking, but unrelated word in place of the one intended (what/want, say/saw, help/held, run/fun, fell/fall, to/too, etc.)

ie bought / brought

I've finally thought of an irrational dislike - American spelling.

That truly is irrational as I also have a complaint about the French putting extra letters on the end of words that they don't need. But it's not cricket when the Americans start trying to correct the English language.

 

[the snooper]

not an irrational dislike but definately irrational

why do kids shut doors in summer and leave them open in winter ?

 

[ajlelectronics]

the ones that really get my goat are when they call me then want me to prove who I am, answer a few security questions etc

Like as not, they are calling from a Withheld number. I have tried to make them understand the irony of it, but they are script readers, not allowed (able?) to you the brain they were provided with.
