Is there anything more annoying...

[dwayne]

In much the same way as "Friends" must take the blame for the way people say things like, "It's so not where I would go on holiday"


Oh yeah, and Americans in general for "I'm, like, getting ready to go out and Michelle phones and she's like, 'What are you wearing tonight? I'm thinking of wearing my, like, appalling 80s throwback baggy trousers with tassles that make any girl with more than an ounce of fat on her look like she's got a really huge arse.' And I'm like, 'OH MY GOD! That's, like, exactly what I was going to wear!' And she's like............"

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO OUR BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE??

Room 101 biter.

I disagree, Lush. Does it sound cool just 'coz it's what they're called in films? (That's doubtless not your reasoning, I'm just asking a rhetorical question).

DJ may sound slightly old-fashioned to the ears of the MTV/Pop Idol generation, but it is at least the English term for the garment.

Tooting and Dropkick, have you both been watching Room 101? The inestimable Steven Fry complained about those two exact things last night.

No, I didn't see it (despite what Dwayne thinks) but we're clearly in good company with Mr Fry. I'd like to have seen it because he would have articulated it far better than I ever could.

Have to agree with Barnet - chuggers ('charity muggers') have got to be the worst. A usual conversation:

Chugger:
"Have you got a couple of minutes to help old age pensioners/disabled youngsters/underpriviledged children/etc..."

Me:
"Is the specific aim of you cheerily striking up a conversation with me on the street to provide details of my bank account for withdrawals on a monthly basis? And have you given up some of your free time to do this voluntarily, or are you actually a commission-based salesman/woman?"

Chugger:
"Thanks for your time."

Motorway service station washroom taps that either provide a few drips or drench you. Or taps that by the time you've pressed the top and got your hands underneath stop almost immediately. Come to think of it, I don't have a lot of time for taps in general.

What about beer taps?

LOL! Don't know why but that really tickled me. Good job I wasn't drinking my tea at the time or we'd have had a drowning on our hands

 

[Dave the OAP]

People who use Lap Tops on the train.

People with Polyphonic Ringtones

People who wait until the last minute to get their ticket out at the barriers at London Bridge Station.

Fat Tossers with stupid tatoos who bought a Real Madrid Shirt with Beckham 23 on the back

People who will not even say "hola" or " Gracias" when on holiday in Spain and have the arrogance to say that " everyone should speak English" when they have trouble saying their "T'"s

I could go on

 

[hart's shirt]

Beer taps provide the exception to prove the rule, Lush.

You're very kind DT - but I hope the tea didn't come out of an urn. Some of the tea urn taps get very hot, you know - even the plastic bits which aren't supposed to. I guess I just don't like taps.

What even my classy GOSBTS ring

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

The Cheeky Girls - how can people with absolutely no talent get famous and number ones??

Gareth Gates- just plain annoying.

Jordan - ditto

Too right. When I went round Europe I ususally at the least learned hello, and thank you. Also, asking them if they speak English (with an apology for not speaking their language if I could manage it) in their own language rather than just launching into it.

A bit of politeness will get you everywhere.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Fame Academy.

 

[Beach Hut]

Changing Rooms and people who post continuous polls of no interest on NSC.

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

People who resurrect a thread from two days ago just to dump a two word post. What's the point? At least tell us why you find Fame Academy annoying

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Agree on the polls business BH. I really thought it would all stop on 9th August..........

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

People who talk in that stupid way where their voice goes up at the end! It always sounds like they are trying to explain something!!!

Bloody right - I blame 'Friends' for this evil of modern day living.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

Americans without the intelligence to back up their arrogance.

f*** off back to the states
