Things you hate people saying

"Just the bread and milk, please".

"No fuel? No Petrol? Diesel?"

"Just the bread and milk".

I think people say this facetiously - discrediting "luck" as a means of achieving something.

People who write 'do' when they mean 'though'. OP is terrible for it. Dunno how you get through life or school thinking do and though are the same. Duh! Sorry OP but you did ask!

Also, another thing I've noticed in recent years is people thinking the term 'a lot' is one word and write 'alot' or 'allot'. Grinds my gears.

"He is a pillar of the community" - usually rolled out as a character reference during court cases......

S*itshow. I think it's so crude

From a well respected family is another one.

Yeah but he's a real piece of sh1t.

Another one - "he's off the drink now and has recently secured employment - losing his licence will be to the detriment of the progress he's made"

"I haven't actually read the rest of the thread but . . ."

Or someone leaving a review of a product and beginning it with

"I bought one of these a while back, I haven't actually used it yet but . . ."

Referring to men with Americanisms like 'guys' or 'dudes', or even worse, calling both men and women 'guys'!

Beloved of Dublin 4 and rugger types.

Hate it! Men in Ireland are called 'lads' or 'men'.

Newspaper articles on Politicians using buzzwords to justify their positions.....

"Minister CALLS for reform on social housing"

"Minister WELCOMES funding for secondary road upgrades"

"Minister LAUNCHES new recycling initiative"

Old people telling you about their age (or others telling you on their behalf): “I’ll be 84 next November/year.” So you’re 83 now? Why not just say that?

People who say "obviously" a lot when very little of what they're saying is obvious.

Sports people tend to be the worst offenders.

People in work who overuse corporate speak such as:

"in terms of"

"From a business perspective"

"As per my previous email"

"I'll revert back"

"Lets square the circle"

Morning Angle! 😉
