pet hates, moans and groans

[mykin]

My pet hate: I have never seen it in person, but see it all the time on the U.S. channels, and they all laugh. I hope that the custom never crosses the border.
At weddings, the groom and/or the bride will take a piece of the wedding cake and rub in the brides/grooms face.The other evening, I saw it again and the groom took the whole wedding cake and just ground it into his brides face and hair.Everyone was laughing so hard. disgusting! I would be having the marriage annulled on my way out the door. People's sense of humour has certainly changed in the last twenty years.

Just as bad are "America's Funniest videos" - They're not funny!

I hate that too - I've never seen it in real life but have seen it on TV. For those not familiar with the tradition, the bride and groom are supposed to take a forkful of cake and feed it to each other, as a romantic gesture. Now it seems that (at least on tv) they smush it into their faces.

Some people do a similar thing with a baby's birthday - they give a 1-year-old a birthday cake on the high-chair tray and then laugh and take photos as the baby makes a mess of him/herself and the cake. I hate that.
