Stupid little things that bug you

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

My mate calls the butties in his lunchbox his sangwiches. Does my head in

My first girlfriend was a posh sort, she used to giggle when my mother sliced the sandwiches for tea at 90 degrees rather than diagonally.

You see, us clever posters have really stuffed it to Mr sticking a tea bag in a mug isn't brewing, Psyco-casual.

And what about a good shit ? I've had one brewing for about ten minutes......... back in a bit.

Well call it baking a shit.

It might not have been about geometry.
What was on the sandwiches? Maybe she noticed the absence of fresh Nepalese mountain Basil and quails eggs marinated in the finest Modena Balsamic? That would make me piss myself. I’m laughing now. Perish the thought. Starting to feel ill now.

People, particularly adults, who walk about wearing foreign team's football shirts...... and guess what, its always the shirt of a "glamour club".
As Half Man Half Biscuit would've said "All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit".

Glory hunting wankers

I have an issue with middle aged men wearing their teams football tops,not going to a game. So cunts who wear foreign shirts need the lash.

or at the least a right talking to.

Moving companies are a pain...
Why is it so impossible to get a quote online without giving over all your contact details including phone number? This is for international movers but frankly is applies for anything nowadays..
The say "online quote calculator" but you have to give all your details to receive the results!
Just approximate costs would be nice based on where to and from and volume in square metres. It seems to be impossible.

They want all your details so they can sell them on.

“It’s a London derby”
Oh just fuck off with that shit……there’s a London derby every other week with the amount of teams in the capital
Nothing to get excited about

My eyebrow twitches when I hear that. London has over twice the population of my country, derby my arse.

Next door’s tree with its spiky leaves. They drop everywhere, it’s like barbed wire picking them up.

When they're reading out a phone number, people that say "owe" one, rather than "zero" one. "owe" is a letter, "zero" is a digit.



And yes; of course I do it.

People that use this ; fucking thing. And I'm not naming any names; Jim

I know our language evolves, but personally I am not a fan of some of the modern pronunciation such as "I'm gonna" or "I Wanna". I was annoyed listening to BBC radio presenter Steve Wright (almost 70 y.o) constantly saying "Twenny, twenny two. Leave it to the kids.

 

[NPBlue]

I would of, I could of, I should of............

It drives me up the bloody wall because it makes absolutely no sense gramatically, and how those that use those expressions can travel through years of schooling without such a basic mistake being pointed out and corrected is beyond me.

I know language evolves, but what's next?

There is a bycicle peggle in the miggle of my chimbly.

The local radio presenter

"There are problems on the M tweny and the tweny five."

It's the M twenty and M twenty five !

That’s odd isn’t it. I always pronounce the first 0 as ‘owe’ and any other zeros in the number as ‘zero’.

It's the M twenty and M twenty five !

It gets worse when educated people (and journalists) pronounce 20p as “twenny pee”. It’s ‘pence’. The ‘p’ is just for simplification in writing, just like the ‘£’ symbol.
