One thing that really gets my goat up.

[nail-Z]

I understand that new parents can be very proud of their offspring.

I even understand that, to them, it's one of the most marvellous experiences in the world. One that they can share with their family and friends, and feel very special and proud of themselves.

But I draw the line at them bringing their unwelcome, noisy and downright ugly beings into the office when people are trying to work.

Nobody else cares. They're only important to you. Get the f*** out of my working day and go and concentrate on expressing milk from your leaky tits or something. Some of us are trying to concentrate.

is it your goat alarm clock?

. Some of us are trying to concentrate.

Whilst I am in broad agreement with you, what is it you are trying to concentrate on, whilst you play on the internet?...

I think it's either "gets on my goat" or "gets my back up", not a mixture of the two.

I do not want to know what you do to get your goat up.

I wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for that pesky kid.

Good point. Well made.

One of my all time pet hates. No idea why they feel the need to bring their snivelling brats into their workplace. Surely any of their workmates they are close enough to will have been round to see the child already?

I'd say that the "on" in your post is superfluous

I was pondering that, but the more I said it in my head, the less anything made sense, so I went with it.

"What? Children in the office?!?!?! Right, I'm getting up!"

Is it a lady goat?

 

[Dave the OAP]

isn't it "gets my goat"?

as in "that Ainslee Harriott really gets my goat"

Mixing your metaphors?

This is how I get my goat up:

One thing that really pisses my gears, is mixed up metaphors. It really, grinds me off, big style
