Bit of venting...what irritates you?

Awarded by the government and nothing to do with teachers. We had all ours in a week after the students had finished so your argument is somewhat redundant but 10/10 for trying.

 

I'll take that. I only gave myself an 8

 

This probably explains why O-level marks aren't worth the paper that they are written on. Surely Trousers should have been given a 10*.

People when they pay for things on card who then proceed to put their whole body over the machine so you cant see their pin, its obvious lad if you are paying for your bread and crumpets which totals to £1.95 on a bit of plastic you are skint and a bit of a tramp to boot, pay with some readies you bellend, you are holding up the queue with your **** credit rating crap card.

People who don't understand when to use the word "myself". This has become shockingly common.

 

Myself is a reflexive pronoun, meaning it is generally used shortly after the word I. I wash myself, I can do it myself etc.

 

So why are there so many morons saying things like "David and myself think that...", "It's just Tom and myself here" and other such pieces of idiocy? Do you think it sound clever? It makes you sound like a ****.

 

The word you're looking for is usually I or me. If you're not sure which one to use, say the same sentence without including the other person, then it becomes obvious. You wouldn't say "Me went to the shops." so don't say "John and me went to the shops."

People who take ages at cash machines. Put your card in, type in 4 numbers, press cash, press the amount, press enter, grab your cash and f*ck off. That's it, that's all you have to do. Should take seconds.

 

The worst of the lot are the people who stand in the way of the machine blocking it from use even after they have their cash, usually some daft old bint taking ages to put it away in some stupidly big purse.

 

And who the hell needs a receipt to tell them how much money they have just taken out?

Compound words. Chunnel was the first one I remember when the Channel Tunnel was being built. Now we have mizzle, guesstimate and there is a special place reserved in hell for those people who use the compound word, staycation. I think people who use compound words are funts! ;) Also Americanisms that are creeping in to the English language, such as 'moving forward' 'touching base' 'take a rain check' etc. Oh and 'Team GB' got on my nerves during last years Olympics.

I can't stand Team GB either, makes me cringe with embarrassment at the naffness of it.

 

I don't like pedants but the correct term is portmanteau words. Throw up your bile at this lot:

You need to get out more if that kind of thing winds you up. I myself couldn't care less.

I blame marketing people. There's a role at my work as Head of Ideation..... #### knows what it is, but it pays well.

The irony is that most people reading this thread can find a few thing's they find annoying and a few thing they do that other's find annoying....

 

Mine are:

- misuse of apostrope's

- misunderstanding of irony

I hate the miss-spelling of Apostrophe.

 

I also hate the miss-use of capital letters.

The white van man that rammed into the back of me while I was minding my own business at the Winnall roundabout on Friday was pretty annoying. His 'c'est la vie' attitude to the incident even more so!! No; pay attention to what you are doing you irresponsible ****!

People turning left from the right hand lane (Esp on A36 /M27 Ower roundabout heading from Salisbury)

Supermarket bread offers 80p for 1 or 2 for £1.00 - why should I not get a deal because I can keep my d!ck in my pants, only suits those with massive bread eating families

Those cyclists riding on the road next to a designated cycleway/Pathway - going past the Ford factory for example

 

Other than that, not a lot really.

 

Go for the bread deal,baby - then freeze the unwanted loaf for later.

 

With love,

Annoying things that people say

 

Blue sky thinking

On the same page

Thinking outside the box

 

Companies that annoy me

Hampshire County Council

 

 

mainly due to all of the above terms of phrase used by there silly managers

 

Personally, I think that all of your objections are perfectly valid - let's run them up the flag pole & see who salutes them !
