Customer satisfaction questionnaires.
Completed one for Direct Line which had numerous questions regarding a Home and Contents policy I purchased from them. At the end they then asked me if I agreed to them again contacting me to find out how satisfied I was with questionnaire I had just completed!

British Gas, every single time you contact them, they call you back with a recorded message satisfaction survey even though I’ve said I don’t want a call back. Infuriating.

People who say or write " it should of" or "he could of".

Of instead of have.

I admit to being "old school" but I do cringe when I hear people say "shudda", "cudda", "wudda" etc.,
the words even get written in their bastardised form.
You know standards are definitely on the slide when BBC TV news presenters (including the sainted Clive Myrie) talks about the Hamas invasion of twenny-twenny three and his colleague Fiona Bruce with her "might OF.

People on TV who say slither instead of sliver (of meat. cheese, metal, land, etc.). Clive Myrie is one such culprit as is Jamie Oliver but there are many others who are seemingly unaware that slither (verb) is what a snake does and doesn't replace the noun sliver.

Posh people who pronounce ‘tt’ in the middle of words as ‘dd’ to make themselves sound cooler and more working class.

Pretty become preddy
Better becomes bedder
Splitting becomes splidding
Committed becomes commidded
etc.

Just makes them sound like knobs.

Staggeringly unfunny

When people see themselves on the big screen at a sporting event or a concert etc, and start waving like lunatics at the big screen, rather than in the direction where the camera is located.



Well; the thread title does say "stupid little things"!

I find it incredible that people who drink these energy drinks can't summon up enough energy to carry their cans to a bin.
The number of times cans are left annoyingly rolling around on buses is unbelievable.
