Stupid little things that bug you

If, and I’m not taking it as an undisputed fact, the woman’s version of the conversation is accurate, it wasn’t simply a question. It was a grilling. The woman, allegedly, asked the question, didn’t like the answer, so carried on asking it, until she got an answer she was presumably happy with.
Thankyou Stephen. I asked the question as a FOC who has asked about someone's heritage before because I am interested but in this day and age I worry about offending people more and more.

I’ve got a very general rule which will serve you well 99% of the time. If you genuinely don’t mean any offence, people will pick up on that and none will be taken. If you are concerned you’re unsure of what is deemed acceptable language, ask the person you’re talking to. They may politely inform you it is a term that they rather wouldn’t hear used. Or they may laugh and say, of course that is fine. You may very occasionally meet a person who is looking for any excuse to be offended but they are few and far between and probably aren’t worth bothering with anyway.
 
I know it’s very “little Englander” like, but it bugs the shit out of me too, the list of stories are endless but the other week, I had to put a cone and my bin out to stop people parking so my girlfriend could park outside my house and bring her luggage in, she phoned me to say she’s round the corner so I can move them, which I do, walk back in the house, look out of the window, and next doors son just pulls up and parks there, wouldn’t mind but they have space for two outside their house, one of which was free !
Ha ha funny you should that as I have cones aswell but my wife won’t allow me to put them out now . Women is Romanian and she smiles when she does it but little does she know that I now have sone bottled ink flush from my workplace which is going over her car when she parks away from my house .

Brake fluid is apparently rather good for ruining car paintwork and looks just like water. Not that I would advocate that sort of behaviour.

Also, given that the road outside your house is generally a public highway it is fair game for anybody to park there. We all feel like it is our own space though, funny isn't it?
