Stupid little things that bug you

[Grassland Blue]

Prompted by a comment on another BM thread, the word 'ball' used in a sentence as a verb (i.e. to ball) - or indeed the lazy abbreviation 'baller' - somehow justified by another poster as perhaps an Americanism.
Come on Blue-Mooners. I'm pretty sure whoever is responsible such abominations is not some 12 year old adolescent whose existence is defined by their presence on social media and grasp of English is almost entirely informed by American TV. Then again, as a proud FOC, I could be wrong of course. Rant over...and breathe.

Player for me.

People who can't spell the word 'theatre'.

My only excuse is that in Welsh it is Theatr and I got mixed up between them, your Honour..... !!!

Why do T.V directors insist on information/clues being shown on mobile phones, I cannot even read my phone if my glasses are not to hand.

I did email the club, suggesting they provide subtitles, as I also find Pep is sometimes difficult to understand. The club did respond saying, yes, the would introduce subtitles...but they never did!

Wankers!

I emailed suggesting they sack Pep, they did respond saying yes as well, huh, still hasn't happened and I still cannot understand the bald fraud.

People walking about dawdling along with no fucking clue that you’re closing them down then they change direction for no apparent reason.

Happens all the time. We have to rewind and pause to find out what they say.

People that park directly across from you when you’re waiting on a small street then piss off and leave you to take the flack when other Cars have to squeeze past.

 

[doots]

My own stupidity.

4 cans of warm piss,28 quid, 28 fuck ING quid you robbing cunts.
No wonder so many got wankered before they went in.

Local weather forecasts which doesn't highlight coastal places

BBC can't wait to keep going to Blackpool under any excuse for a jolly but inform the public of the weather on the Irish Sea coast? No chance.

When people say things like:

“HIMARS system”, when the ‘S’ in HIMARS stands for System. That’s the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System system.

“Can you tell me the ULN number?”, when the ‘N’ in ULN stands for Number. That’s asking for the Unique Learner Number number.

“Can you send me the CTF file?”, when the ‘F’ in CTF stands for File. That’s asking for the Common Transfer File file.

People who lick their fingers to turn a page.
People who work in food shops and lick their fingers to separate plastic bags
People who serve food such as cake who get cream on their fingers and lick it off before serving the next piece.
Why not just spit on said cake before asking, does anyone want a piece, see how many takers you get.
