Stupid little things that bug you

The way Brian Cox says ‘dust’ about two hundred times in this episode:

BBC Two - Solar System, Series 1, Storm Worlds

Professor Brian Cox explores the wildest weather across the solar system.

‘Dest’

There's a TV football commentator (can't recall his name) who pronounces "G" at the end of a word like "K"
SterlinK, ErlinK, CominK on and goinK off.

People who say somethink, anythink, nothink.

Dont ever refer to anyone by that name

I love the word mongs. It's not very politically correct nowadays but it always amuses me. Sorry if any mongs are upset by this post. I am sure there will be a BBC help line somewhere on the internet to offer support if you have been affected by the word mongs.

What's happened to the words criticise and criticism? Everything is critiqued nowadays.

Walker's salted crisps which have 45% less salt. What's the point in them being salted if nearly half the salt is missing .

Could be that they've replaced the Sodium Chloride with Potassium Chloride? Reduces the Sodium content of the crisps so they advertise as "45% less salt" as people are trying to reduce salt intake and it easier to understand at a glance than "45% less Sodium". Still probably has the same amount of "salt" in there but it's a Potassium salt rather than a Sodium salt.

The "45% less Sodium" I mentioned above would likely be incorrect as they can mess with the percentages reported by using either atomic weight of sodium (~23 g/mol) or molecular weight of Sodium Chloride (~58.5 g/mol) depending on which one gives a better percentage for their marketing blurb.

Folk who get in to an elevator, then stand looking at each other waiting for it to read their minds and automatically move upwards or downwards.

People in crowded city centres (i.e. especially on a Saturday) glued to their mobiles and not looking where they're going. You have to avoid them, and as far as they're concerned, well son, you can just get fucked.
It's not just a stupid little thing that bugs me, either. It is a blight on society.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

People who go to watch golfing events wearing golf shoes. Fuck me

Worse than that, but of the same ilk: full kit wankers watching Liverpool down the pub.

Critiqued is nice criticism, ideal for the understanding non offensive world we now live in.

Keep their hair out of their eyes?

Why do they sterilise the needle used for lethal injections

People who say 'elevator' instead of 'lift' ; )

When you buy something from the bakery and it is in the flimsy plastic so when you try and put it back it splits open and is useless
