I thought I'd seen a thread on this, but maybe it was another site.
One. pet hate I've had which has been brewing for years and now reached ridiculous levels is:
People who wear t-shirts or hoodies that show they belong to a sporting team/university society etc and somewhere on there it also says the name of the person wearing it e.g.
Badge (please imagine a somewhat generic badge or logo here)
Basingstoke University Fisting Society
Laura
Definitely in my Room 101. I hate them -presumably the person remembers their own name, their teammates remember their name and no-one else gives a flying f**k that you belong to that team, or that you have some limited ability at table tennis (or fisting).
I also hate myself because I feel completely compelled to try and read their names, so I end up moving closer,staring at their cheap garment and looking an idiot.
That said, if there was a Fisting Society.........

"Can I add clothes (hoodies & tshirts mainly) that contain the word 'Athletic' when the wearer patently isn't
"
Oh and I say that as a fatty who would never wear something that alluded to my athleticism or sporting ability |

"General manners like saying think you if I just opened the door for you or giving you the right of way in the car or something"

Oh, and anything prefixed by the word "artisan".
I know we're past "peak artisan", but there's still loads of businesses using the word in the hope of making their products more authentic and alluring.
In fact, I think that there's a secret competition being run to shoehorn the word into the most incongruous advertising spiel.
There's probably a massage parlour offering "artisan blowjobs" in Hemel Hempstead. |

When you buy a magazine, open it, only to be buried alive under 20,000 pamphlets for some shit product nobody ever buys. This is particularly annoying if you open said magazine for the first time.......in the bath.
Also, the ignorant bints at the school gate who I stop and let past, who don't even say thank you or acknowledge me. Go jump in a puddle!! |

Smart phones that aren't smart enough to tell the difference between messaging on fab and messaging work and so replaces words unexpectedly. I've managed to correct the messages so far, but it's only a matter of time before one slips through.
... Harder to control when a work colleague is looking over your shoulder when I'm drafting an email and all sorts of interesting words pop up.

Yea, wtf is all that about? My ex who was a size 32 used to wear a hoodie emblazoned with " ACTIVE ". Those buyers for the woman's clothes shop Evans were surely taking the piss. |

Pokemon Go. Facebook 'fads' like ice bucket challenge etc. Hipster beards.
Basically anything where whole communities of people blindly follow and do it 'because everyone else is'.
Shouldn't wind me up. But at times they irrationally do. I need to get a sense of perspective I know |

Middle lane hoggers.
Hypocrites (ie my boss who moans we don't get enough work done and then sits in his office legs on the desk watching football) 
People who don't say thank you when you've let them out a junction.
Men who fart in bed under the covers.
People who call other people fat or ugly when they themselves aren't Adonis.
People who interrupt others talking 
People who stop in front of you the middle of the pavement/supermarket to talk/catch Pokemon/text. |

A bit silly really but when you go through double doors in say a pub or hotel and someone has opened the wrong side and the door doesn't close properly, I always have to reset them as I walk through  |

My daughter is a dance teacher and has had people calling her name in the street,completely baffling her,until they say her name is on her top. It's mainly there for competitions so they can be recognised by organisers.
I really hate people leaving litter on buses. Not just a dropped wrapper; chicken boxes,burger cartons and even salad bowls. |

One of my pet hates is when I'm out and about maybe in Cardiff and the amount of people that bump into me and I end up saying sorry, they ignore me or give me a dirty look then I realise fuck you it was your bloody fault lol. But I'm programmed to say sorry I guess! Manners cost nothing people  |

People who hate things purely because they're popular, because they're too cool or something. Also people who pride themselves on not knowing anything about pop culture. Nobody is impressed, go back under your rock.
"Should of" "Was you?" "How's you?" - Fab sometimes feels like the place where the English language came to die.
People who ask questions on the Internet that they could 100% just use Google for. |

Coughing, sneezing, eating noises, sniffing, throat-clearing, snorting and nail-clacking all drive me insane. Although it's apparently a real condition called misophonia, so may I be excused? |

"People who park outside my house
Stalker people?"
No there's a community building opposite that has a carpark at the end of our little row of 6 houses. But people feel the need to park all over the pavement, double park etc to pick their little darlings up rather than walk the 30 metres from the carpark |

yes!!! i refuse to go in anywhere that uses that word,(or 'forage'!)....artisan is totally meaningless as a selling point; i got so angry i looked it up and it means' craftsman or mechanic',so as far as describing food prep or whatever....completely meaningless! |

People that leave their shopping trolley bang smack in the middle of the aisle. Push it to the side for goodness sake, so others can get through.
They then give you the death glare when you move it out of the way.
Food shopping in general tends to push my buttons. |

People in the cinema chomping popcorn and rustling sweets so loud in your ear through the whole film. Then chatting on endlessly. I have told people to shut up before.
OP: I like sweatshirts though, it's a team thing isn't it for when they do sport together. You could invent one saying you're not in a team. I'd have: take one look, Im never getting in the beach volley ball team. |

As a larger lady I can say this: t shirts that have slogans on them like 'babe', yes they/I should be able to wear them (and I'm not talking pretty larger ladies here, I'm talking waynette slob types) but really? No, just no!!
Flip flops on men...no idea why, on some men they wind me right up!!!
I'm sure there are others, I'll come back later when I can think of a list!

"Losing one sock "
Indeed - nice one.
I chose my username because I was ridiculously upset at losing one from favourite pair of walking socks the night I joined. A trivial matter that drove me mad.
Rest easy people - I found it some weeks later.
Having read the responses, I'm relieved there are others who admit to irrational hatred of unimportant things.
I have one more - I have a ludicrous, but very real, hatred for the word "med". No it's meaning, just its sound and the way it looks on the page.
Yeah, I know, I know..... |

If you hold a door for someone and they say nothing - please have your phone ready so that you can make a phone call and not move.
I generally just don't let go of the door or move, as I wait to hear their words whilst looking at them. |

Artisan bread or artisan bakery. Don't get me started on a "bread wankers" rant. It's not rant Thursday yet and I'm not paying £5 for a fucking Peruvian sunflower seeded cob made with yaks milk. |

People who insist on carrying on a mobile phone conversation whilst dealing with someone else, say, at the checkout, or buying a train ticket.
Where are your bloody manners? Their phone ought to be shoved somewhere requiring major surgery for its removal! |

I have to agree that annoys me too
I hate it while I'm at work and talking to somebody and they just answer their phone mid conversation, I think it's so rude, not something I would dream of doing but now days some people live by their phone and its more important than real life |

When people apologise when you happen to arrive at a door together and then spend 1 second deciding who's going to go through it first! I don't know why anyone should feel the need to say sorry?
(and of course it's ladies first) |
