Stupid little things that bug you

[Marklr]

Ich bin ich. I am what I am.

Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out "I am what I am", to be fair.

Common complaint on here.
In a queue at Lidl’s and the woman in front is presented with her bill.
“ Right ok I want to pay using my phone. My phone is in my bag ah. Best switch my phone on now. Where’s my banking app ? Oh sod it I can’t connect to any WiFi !!! “
Ffs

Tissues in the washer

That's why it's always best to use a sock

 

[Kippaxpete]

When people post in the wrong thread. It's not a major irritant but fucking hell.. it fucks about with my ocd shit.
(I'm not ocd but every one else claims to be so..)

People who claim to suffer from OCD when they clearly don't. Incidentally, simply being obsessed with neatness doesn't count.
; )

 

[Barcon]

People that have to tell everyone that they go to the gym.
They’re worse than vegans.

The only gym I’ve been to in the last 30odd years is Jungle Jim in Blackpool tower!!
I’m not a vegan either so I should comfortably be in your top 10 kinda guy. :-)

 

[Tuearts right boot]

People finishing a sentence with "it is what it is."

Pep likes you.

Probably mentioned often before but Paul Scholes

[Bill Walker]

People who say "Carpe Diem" like they've studied Latin



Fuckin Stultus twats..

 

[Vienna_70]

I’m not sure if it’s a little thing, but the creeping Americanisation of British English.

A few weeks ago, a contestant on a game show gave an answer to a question about Vincent van Gogh as "van gow".

Other examples:

Putting month before day on dates, I.e. July 12th, instead of 12th July.
And many more.

I fucking hate it!

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

To be fair the yanks copied that from Britain, originally it was month, date, year in Britain until Britain changed it to the present way to fit in with the rest of the world a long time ago.

Let’s face it, the Brits are all fucked up with the language, spell more French than English, I think we’re going to take it over and get them up to speed

The English language is made up of of alsorts of languages imported by immigration and imvasion. Billy Shakespeare finally sorted it out and the rest is 'istory. Facsinating stuff if you dig deep.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Always irked me that the BBC "Weather Map" shows Liverpool & Birmingham but not Manchester.

Same as when they show the weather summary stats for the next few days in just Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London. Well that’s useful for the rest of the country!

It all went to hell when people stopped writing “Upon thif twelfth day in the month of Jullaie in the year of our Lorde, two thoufand and twentie four”.

It really did.

I never knew that.

I never knew that.

The yanks got most of their shit from UK, measurements still in use today, refrigeration is still measures in tons, horse power, there's yards, inches, deg F, British Thermal units for heat, inches water gauge for resistance etc etc.

Britain has abandoned all these.

There's a Lord Snooty tribute act who recently lost his parliamentary seat who probably still writes like that.
