You're not in an episode of Friends ffs.
Oh yes. Yank speak in general.

Most things wind me up these days, I've hit grumpy age and officially have no patience whatsoever.

When you're out with the Old Queen, no matter what age, and they start getting mixed up with some half-wit shop assistant/waitress, and you don't know whether to have a go at your mum or the other person.
The other way round is extremely common, it's pretty fucking rude, although personally i don't mind because it means i don't have to go through the rehearsed bullshit, fake friendly spiel i'm supposed to (fucked if i'm going to pack though, you can do that one-handed if you can).-dabz- said:My point exactly.Lol!! Your lucky- i walked in my local chippy last night, said hello to the assistant who promptly took a call on his mobile and walked off into the back to answer it-leaving me open mouthed in shock.
shop assistants who play with their phone whilst/instead of serving fook me off.
Makes a change to be able just to swipe shit without having to pretend i care.
Although one thing that does annoy me is old biddies who forget their pin then act like it's my fault, especially when they're deaf as well.
How the fuck am i supposed to speak to people like that anyway? Speak to them like they're children and it's just patronising, treat them like you would a normal person, except shouting and you just feel like a cock. YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR PIN IN AND PRESS ENTER, THE BIG GREEN BUTTON, NO THE GREEN ONE, GREEN!....YEAH THAT ONE... *pin declined* FFS!

these creeping americanisms really get on my tits.
snuck instead of sneaked (fucking hate that one)
gotten instead of got (past tense)
period used for emphasis. period is american for full stop. what's wrong with full stop?
fries instead of chips
news pronounced 'noos' (like frank skinner, paul merton & jonathan ross)
lieutenant pronounced 'lootenant' (tony blair was a serial offender)
asking for fast food 'to go'. it's to take away ffs.
step up to the plate. that's a baseball term. what's wrong with wicket, crease or even line. being australian was no excuse for shane warne to write an article in one of the uk broadsheets last year in which he said it was time for kevin pietersen to step up to the plate. fuck off shane.
i'll probably wake up in the middle of the night shouting out a few more.
