Getting asked what football team I support, then being informed I obviously know nothing about football because Brighton are not in the premier league.
Or worse when someone thinks they are in the Premier League.

How are you today? ......When asked by some prick at a call centre, who I've never met, never want to and already regret answering the phone to while I'm busy trying to work on worthwhile things.. they then end the call with " take care" ...
"Can you just go and shit on the minibus like the others?" my Dutch PE Teacher once said.... Never really understood why I got put on report for 2 weeks, still grinds my gears to this day....
I ****ing HATE the "What premier league club though?" question and I can't even hide my contempt for people when they ask me that anymore.
The responses I've had to telling people, no I don't have "a Premier league team" range from ".....oh....." coupled with a look of open-mouthed astonishment like I'd just shat in the casket at a funeral to "Hahaahah! Hey come over here you need to hear this, this guy reckons he doesn't support a Premier league team! - What!? But EVERYONE supports
one of Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal!"
I regularly get...." What division are Brighton in then ? "....I usually just reply......" The Championship, one level below the Premier League "
I want to go on and say...." It is the fifth best supported league in Europe. It supplies three new PL teams each season and contains clubs that have won many league titles, FA Cups and even European Cups. It is televised regularly and watched in many different parts of the world ".....but frankly....I just can't be arsed....it would wash over their heads anyway.
Tell them massive clubs like dirty Leeds, and Sheffield Wednesday are slumming it in the same league, they'll soon change their tune
Oh and to all the silly bitches who come out with the comment, 'Oh your tall, ( I'm 6ft 4in )but is everything in proportion'
And I have to come back with the alleged Courtney Walsh reply...........
" No ma'am for that to be the case I'd have to be 8ft 6in."
Followed by "I used to watch the Albion. Would love to go to the Amex but I can't get a ticket!"

Just out of interest [MENTION=21578]Worthingite[/MENTION]. Why the thumbs down on my comment? People do say that.
It was a thumbs up Apologies if not, fat fingers!!! I definitely agree with your statement!!!!!
Because I am a print developer and my work involves writing java script/sql queries/vbscript and running automation software, all my friends believe I am a computer whizz kid and constantly ask me if I can fix/have a look at/sort out their pc.
Well no I bloody well can't. I work ON a computer, not with computers, and basically if they go wrong, I know sod all about the bloody things.
