Small things that irritate you.....

[DavidRyder]

'Designer' clothing/shoes/hand bags etc - surely everything is designed, even George at Asda...

People wearing 'Baby on board' badges when they appear to have conceived the night before - and the mis-use of said badges (which I'm guessing were intended for women that were carrying the extra baby weight).

 

[Frutos]

People using 'less' when they mean 'fewer', and vice versa.

 

[The_NitramJohn]

Drivers who indicate they are going right on a roundabout, but then go straight on!


Idiots who sit religiously, in the Right Hand lane of a dual carriageway, when the left lane is completely empty (totally ignoring Highway Code rule 264!)


Drivers who find even navigating a supermarket car park, a little beyond their mental & driving capabilities!

 

[Sweeney Todd]

I can't 'walk-in' to my bath where the shower is. I have to step over the edge.



Deep-fried.
Stir-fried.

It is more the sensibility that grates, it is pretentious, and I am not sure that specifying how something is fried adds value (I trust a chef to know how different foodstuffs should be fried). On a similar note, there is a restaurant in Oxford that proclaims proudly that its pizzas are stone-baked, as if that makes a significant difference to the taste.

 

[The Optimist]

PIN Number is a gripe of mine, Personal Identification Number Number.

RAS syndrome. (redundant acronym syndrome)

 

[Shirty]

People that put your change in the counter instead of in your hand.
.

Or people that give you your change, and a receipt, on a teeny tiny little tray, when all you have bought is a pint.

 

[GreersElbow]

ras syndrome. (redundant acronym syndrome)

you're triggering me.

 

[beorhthelm]

people caring about less/fewer. it means the same thing, there's really no reason to care about this. its not even observed consistently, how would you describe the "<" symbol?

grammar absolutism in general, as if language has remained the same and will do so forever.

 

[Brightongull]

People (usually men, sorry) who wear their sunglasses round the back of their neck when not on their faces.

People who wear sunglasses at night (You may be, but probably are NOT Stevie Wonder........stop it now!)

 

[DavidRyder]

The brazen thickyness of the idiots that send spam email. I like to occasionally look down the latest list of 30 spam emails and chortle at how gullible they must think people are to believe it's genuine. Although I guess it only takes one or two to fall for it to make it worthwhile for them.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Or people that give you your change, and a receipt, on a teeny tiny little tray, when all you have bought is a pint.

Or people that give you your change with the note on the bottom, then the receipt and then the coins on top.

 

[Petunia]

I was always under the impression that A was used if the following word begins with a consonant and An was used if a Vowel.

So today I have learnt something, thank you.

It's an before a silent h. For example an hour, an honour or even an honest mistake. As the h is pronounced in hotel, it's a hotel.

 

[DavidRyder]

Or people that give you your change with the note on the bottom, then the receipt and then the coins on top.

Treasure these moments. Give it 50 years and coins/notes will be consigned to history, and we'll all be paying for everything using Bit Coin, via eye scanners.

 

[PTC Gull]

The overemphasized ( or overemphasised) use of the word "awesome"

 

[DavidRyder]

The overemphasized ( or overemphasised) use of the word "awesome"

Or the overemphasised greeting to something:

Girl 1 - 'OMG!!!!!'
Girl 2 - 'Have you just won the Euro Lottery?'
Girl 1 - 'No, Girl 3 has her knickers on back to front'

 

[Easy 10]

The fact that I've never ONCE inserted a USB connector the correct way up first time. 50/50 chance, and I get it wrong 100%.

People who rev to about 9,000rpm before changing to 2nd (usually van drivers).

"Mini" roundabouts. Pointless. All of them.

Plastic food packaging that opens in such a way as to make it necessary to re-package it in something else, in order to keep it fresh. Yes, I'm looking at YOU, bacon.

Mouth-breathers.

 

[PTC Gull]

Or the overemphasised greeting to something:

Girl 1 - 'OMG!!!!!'
Girl 2 - 'Have you just won the Euro Lottery?'
Girl 1 - 'No, Girl 3 has her knickers on back to front'

Add in the the use of the word "like" in every sentence.

If you have it running down the wall the drag effect prevents your children/wife/boyfriend/live-in hermaphrodite reeling off loads of shit roll, thereby saving you 27p per week on aforementioned chocolate log roll. Against the wall every time.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

People who let their kids....

You really didn't need to write any more than this.

 

[The Gem]

Anyone who slags off the UK whilst living here does my nut in.

If you don't like it F*CK off and leave then.
