When somebody tells your their big long story about going to the shops, using hand sanitizer, staying safe, all masked up, etc

But are they an essential worker though?!

TA is going back to work tomorrow after my week off!

Joel Dommet's voice. Farkin hill, I pity the sound guys working on those programs.

I normally don't work on a Tuesday.
I got up this morning and I had a bit of a tummy upset from something I ate.
I went to work. I wouldn't serve a customer because he was clearly underage and admitting it. He became very aggressive and threated to '' bate me''.
Then I went to the barbers and he nicked me a few times because he was focusing on something else.
Then I nearly got hit by a 4x4.

I spotted the title of a thread on the front page called "Sound Moderators" and I spent a good five minutes thinking about who I think the nicest moderators on Boards are. And then I noticed that it's not about internet moderators at all - it's on a forum where men with small willies gather to talk about firearms. FFS.

People using the terms 'deskside' and 'couchside' instead of saying "I'm at my desk" or "I'm on the couch". I see it in another thread on After Hours. I'm sorry that it annoys me because they seem like a nice crowd in that thread, very friendly to each other.

My TA is too much work for one person but little old
me is left on her own

Something that has worn thin fast, and has become a massive TA.

When some journalist is on discussing a topic on radio, usually an entertainment segment, and they have the old "hilarious" chestnut:

"Cinemas. Remember them?"

"Pubs. Remember them?"

"Nightclubs. Remember them?"

"Foreign holidays. Remember them?"

Me:



WE. GET. IT.

A blue drink? Barf!

Ta'd that " have" is regularly replaced with "of" for example as in "should have gone" becomes "should of gone".

It happens when the 'have' is abbreviated to 'av' eg. should've, could've, would've etc.

I see & hear it all the time. I must be getting old :D

Even more TA with people who don't seem to know the difference between of & off. It confuses me when reading, causing me to re-read sentences!

When people say used of it instead of used to it.

Pawwed Rig

is instead of are.
I just had a conference call and it was all I could do not to correct her each time.

Also done instead of did drives me bananas.

I have an annoyance as I pronounce racist as rayshist when I am not thinking. I TA myself when I do that.

I think the worst has to be people mixing up "then" and "than". I was more TAd thEn the other fella etc. I'm convinced some do it on purpose too.

Purple Mountain

For me it's "have" instead of "has", as in "Johnny have diabetes."

Just no!

Well for me it's he's instead of his.

That's he's jacket.
He's car is red.

What's that about eh?

A little bit of history.......just in passing...

I believe that the originator of '****side' word contraction is a certain very pleasant SOCAL based Mod who frequently posted while beside a pool....thus Poolside .
The value of such brevity has spilled over into general use ( at least for some of us )

TA'ed that I feel bad about posting this here

Can I add 'To/Too' onto the list of grammatical TA's?
And a pet peeve in my line of work - the singular of premises is premises. It is NOT premise.

Putting off my walk because a big dark ugly cloud was heading this way. Now it has veered off to the east, I could have been out and back.

A friend who runs an alternative health practice was asked by a new client to show the invoice for their therapy needles. so the client could check the needles were "clean"

McDonalds changing their cups from paper to plastic.
Crowing on their ads about how great they are for using paper straws.
Changed the small straw to paper then changed the massive cup to plastic :mad:
Great idea you twerps :rolleyes:

the purple tin

Not to mention that the plastic cups from McLitters and the filling stations are just thrown everywhere.
I binned a couple that were dropped on the ground in front of a bench yesterday. The bin was an arms length from the bench.. I kid you not :eek::mad::(
WTH is wrong with people?

"Anti-reflection" screens are now a selling point on new TV sets.

Emm, hold on, anti-reflection screens were the standard 10 years ago before they started selling the super-glossy-reflect-every-bit-of-stray-light tellies :rolleyes:

I swear, companies design bad features into things to be able to charge more for "better" features.

Supervalu's slogan - real food, real people.
So the people working in Dunnes and Aldi are androids are they? Holograms or ghosts maybe. :rolleyes:
TA that they've been using it for years and haven't thought of anything better yet.
