Stupid little things that bug you

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Seeing Molly May Hague advertising some soap powder on TV in a totally white outfit, in a white kitchen , washing her whites. I guarantee she's never done ' a full load in her life'

I'll bet she has a had a few full loads

Free.

Some fuck wit on Radio 1....
'The numbers are Five, Free One, Two, that's Five as in high Five, Free as in I'm Free.....

My spelling is shit, I speak Manc and I'm no grammar snob but for fucks sake.

This gets my goat as well, the number of f**king half wits who simply cannot pronounce the letters 'TH' in words is off the scale - seems to be some 'urban sh@te' that they love on BBC1 as well as Radio 1 and 2.

You listen to Radio 1...?

Is someone holding you against your will?

Are you Terry Waite? (Tap twice on the radiator for 'yes').

I usually listen (in the car) to Radio 1 extra (I'm down wid day kids innit right) but they has some stupid quiz on.
I can't stand radio 2 and the commercial stations are just adverts.

Time of the month?

FUCK OFF!!!!! :-)

 

[Fourinarow]

When I have a browse on Instagram and people have posted photos and videos with HDR or whatever it is enabled, making them super bright. No fuckin need.

 

[Kinkybyname]

people coming into my shop asking for 'chicken Keevs'

... and another thing :-)

Ex-pros in the commentary box using long words that:
1) they'd never normally use in any other situation; and that
2) are completely inappropriate anyway.

Also, randomly chucking 'to be fair' in front of any sentence, for no reason whatsoever.

People ending a statement with 'let that sink in'

 

[Bill Walker]

Pretentious phrases I remember from work.

"Synergy," "think outside the box," and "low-hanging fruit" "I'll ping you," "take this offline," or "put a pin in it"

Jargon such as "running something up the flagpole" or "blue-sky thinking"

Twats.

Take "it/this" offline is a polite way of not embarrassing people/someone in a wider situation. However buzz words are out of control, crystalise is the phrase at the moment that is hurting my brain.

Idiots who answered questions posed to them
Starting their reply with "SO"

So, i agree.

When there's no milk and I have to drink black tea or coffee.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

Idiots who answered questions posed to them
Starting their reply with "SO"

Those who answer a question 'no, yeah' or 'Yes no'

Which one is it you prick???

Nice to see you getting all your ducks in a row there Uncle Bill :-)

We used to have a short company meeting on a Monday morning. One week the MD started going on about "energy". By eleven o'clock all the directors were going on about "energy" and an hour or so later the managers were on board.
It was then the theme for Tuesday and forgotten about by Thursday with the next buzz-word eagerly awaited.
"Reached out" was embedded though and couldn't be removed even with crosses and garlic.

Yep - really annoying when I hear some stupid buzz-word for the first time and within 24 hours it's popping up everywhere, with not just kids (understandable) but FOCs also (unforgivable) contriving some reason to 'casually' throw it into the conversation, as though we've been using the expression all our lives.

As soon as anybody starts treating how they speak as a 'lifestyle' choice I go out of my way to avoid getting stuck in conversation with them...

(Maybe that's why they do it? :-l )

Do you remember a thing called the buzz word generator? You picked phrases out to create a nonsensical sentence. Occasionally I used it to add a sentence to a report. Never picked up.
At school, I used to test whether the teachers were genuinely marking essays by adding in “Omo adds brightness”. Also never picked up.

Sky also desperate to come over all cool...

Their voiceover T & Cs must state that you have to own a selection of hoodies and be able to pronounce the word 'live' as 'layyyiivvve'.

For a short while they used a well-spoken lady, who sounded perfectly natural until the final 'and it's live!' , at which point she sounded 'straight outta Chipping Sodbury' .
