Things that annoy you that really shouldn't

[Acker79]

People who say "Can I get..." when ordering coffee/sandwiches etc. I know it's trivial and it shouldn't wind me up but it does

I'm guilty of this. I try so very hard, thinking all the way through the queue "say can I have, say can I have" then get to the front and "Can I get..." slips out.

Having said that, in recent weeks I've found I've been overcoming this and am managing to say 'can I have'.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

People that chant "no surrender" at football matches.

People who sing that are f***ing LEGENDS.

Pedant alert: technically it should be "May I have", not "Can I have"

People standing on the left side of the escalator on the underground

People standing on the WRONG side of the escalators on the Underground, or anywhere for that matter!

Balcombe Station.

One step at a time. I will work on saying 'may' instead of 'can', now I'm getting better at saying 'have' instead of 'get'.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Elderly people who sneak past me in the bus queue & feign surprise when the bus almost invariably comes right along & they get on before anybody else. Actually, I get extremely f***ed-off with ANYBODY who decides that waiting your turn has absolutely nothing to do with 'em whatsoever - & carry on like the whole friggin' world revolves around their selfish little existence.

John Barrowman.

Actually, scratch that. He really SHOULD annoy me. And does.

 

[Gwylan]

Blimey, Pot Noodles, you must be one pissed-off bloke.

How do you manage to leave the house?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Oh, & Geordies (of course).

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Rugby players who constantly describe every imaginable situation surrounding their performance as "key"; & refer to FOOTBALL as soccer. Jesus wept.

 

[Gwylan]

Oh, & Geordie's

..oh yes, misused apostrophes

Leaving the house

 

[KVLT]

A few things that do and should annoy.

1. The use of the word 'basically'. Any sentence containing this word can be said without it. It's also usually a precursor to anything but a basic statement.

2. Am I the only person who can say the word texts? Without exception everyone I've ever heard attempting the plural of text comes out with textez or some kind of wierd equivalent.

3. People who say "he/she 'turned around' and said...."

4. The mother of all teethgrinding annoyances has to be people who stand about like lemons at the supermarket checkout idly watching their weekly shop get scanned through, and only start packing their goods after handing over payment - leading to all manner of bedlam for the following customer.

Trusting the Spell-check function on your PC - only to find out that your original effort was correct all along..

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Incorrect use of the word literally by football pundits. Usually Jamie Redknapp.

"He's literally left him for dead there"

REALLY, Jamie? Has he REALLY?

Yes he has.........................literally!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"He's literally cut Lampard in half there".

Now that would take a BIG saw.
