    This might have been done before but what little things really bug you?

    For me it's:

    People who mis-quote the Simpsons

    Bad grammar and spelling (my mistakes are ok though)

    Cheesy chat-up lines

    Txt spk

    Exact fare buses

    Big Brother and the BB voice-over guy's voice

    People who do nothing but complain :p

    When one partner in a couple uses the phrase "we're pregnant" or "we are trying to get pregnant" ect, no, no you aren't. She is pregnant, you are trying to get her pregnant, there is no plural in that sentence. It used to be just an American thing but like alot of annoying American habits its spread to over here. A freind of mine used it the other day and it genuinly took all my will power not to permanently disfigure him.

    Also this smiley :rolleyes:

    And when teachers in school used to talk about how they deserve and demand respect in that really patronising arrogant way. Ohh wow, you spent a few years in the world reno.....nationally renou......Maynooth renouned, college studying english to the level of a 16 year old, congratulations you must be sooo proud of yourself, respect is a two way thing you gimp! If you don't give it then you shouldn't expect it, I guess there are some things you don't get from book learnin'.

    One more. Bad middle aged female drivers that think they need a 4X4 to drive thier one kid to school from thier house that is a 10 minute walk away but takes 30 minutes by jeep because of all the other bad middle aged female drivers driving thier one obese (from not walking anywhere) kid to school from thier house that is a 10 minute walk away but takes 30 minutes by jeep because of all the other bad middle aged female drivers driving thier one obese.....

    Agreed. All my old pals in Belgium are upset I'm planning on joining the army reserves "as it's the establishment, they hurt people etc" What annoys me even more is that they love to posture about how hardcore they are at streetfighting. Yawn. I have nothing but respect for Ireland;s armed forces.
