Drivers who, when turning left, swing out into the opposite lane for a moment.

I hav"nT seeeeen ye in such a lonngggg llonnnggg Tyme. " lt makes you seem a complete and utter miscast misfit as a bystander by being there. More common outside the big smoke.

Wasn't there a reason for that Spanish thing like King Phillip V had a speech impedimink and so as that he didn't feel too bad all the courtiers decided to go along with him and say things like "Queen Maria Luitha hath gone to Barthelona... There is a thale on in Argoth."

Don't all Spanish people have the same speech impediment?

Actually, a mate of mine when I was a kid's Spanish mother was always banging on about the belbet material her couch was made of. It amused me every time.

People who still say "EEC" and "pound" (when referring to euro - I always find myself trying to convert to euro until I realise that is in fact, the currency they are referring to. Verbal ****ing laziness is all it is

I hate that new Special K Porridge ad, "less fat than most other oatmeals".Who are they trying to cod,porridge is about as low fat a cereal you can get until you add doses of sugar or whatever to it yourself.
Almost as bad as those Hands Free disinfectant soap dispensers,ffs,the disinfectant is in the soap.You can touch the dispenser all you want beforehand.

It's just the way the pronounce words in spainish.

Women nattering in the toilet. wtf is that about? do your business and get out. I went into the bathroom earlier and there were two of them at it. Parping on and fuucking on about mundane sh1te. I sat patiently for 4 or 5 mins waiting for them to go. You're hardly going to start weeing into the bowl when they're mid conversation! Eventually, one of them left....and the other starts doing her makeup! Was she ever going to leave???! And then....a classic... "um...are you ok, you're in there in a long time!"

fuuck off b1tch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I was making a joke hence the

eisenberg1 · 05-11-2013 11:34AM

People who mess up joke punchlines. I worked with a guy a few years back and told that old (not very good) joke that goes " I used to be a werewolf, but I am alright noooow ow ow oooow". Anyway, he arrives in work Monday morning and says to me "you and your stupid jokes, I was at a party on Saturday night, told that werewolf joke and nearly got beaten up", I asked him to quote the joke back to me, this is the joke he told. " I used to be a werewolf, but now I am oooookayeeee"................where do you go from there.

That's actually a better joke than the joke.

Usually happens in a work environment or at least that's where I notice it.

People who laugh loudly and awkwardly after saying something not remotely funny. In fact, it's usually after they've said something condescending and the laugh just accentuates the condescension.

My boss did it last week. Sauntered into a meeting late and condescendingly said to the fella arranging it "How was I supposed to know where the meeting is. Am I psychic or something?" followed by the aforementioned laugh. Looked a bit silly when someone pulled out the meeting invite with the meeting room stated on it.

Green Giant · 05-11-2013 11:59AM

People who try to get someone's attention by whistling to them (often when they're seen on the opposite side of the road). Whoever you're trying to salute, they have a name and chances are you know what it is, so just call em by their bloody name instead of 'whiiiip, whiiiiiiiiip, whiiiiiiiiip'

I know a guy who does that in lectures. He clearly doesnt get when something funny is said, because he will be quiet for a fraction of a second too long, and then start guffawing far too enthusiasticaly. There is a precise timing sequence that will tell you if a laugh is fake or not, delay for a microsecond (or indeed come in a microsecond early) and you give the game away. I had never considered that such social etiquette has such strict timing rules, I think its something that we can pick up subconsciously (and then when we give it conscious thought, we wreck everyone's head with it on Boards)

When people say:

"That was ironic" - when it wasn't

"...so it is" - bloody Belfast folk

People (usually old biddies) standing around and blocking the isles as they chat to each other in supermarkets.

People that use two cards at a bank machine.

OldNotWIse · 05-11-2013 12:11PM

People who are on a loop. I know one who's constantly at it.

Are ye alright there are ya?

Hope you're behaving yourself!

Dont do anything I wouldnt do!

We'll have to stop meeting like this, the neighbours will be talking!

Ah sure trouble is my/your middle name

Good MOOOOOrning how AAAAAAre ya?

Hope you're behaving yourself.

Incapable of walking past without barking one of the above. I think he needs to be re-set. Next time he does it I shall attempt to remove his batteries and re-start him.

Khannie · 05-11-2013 12:14PM

People whose trousers are falling down as a fashion statement. I don't want to see your underpants.

F**kwits of the highest order. What bothers me is that they think they're the first person to ever make these "jokes".

eisenberg1 · 05-11-2013 12:18PM

work nights out, "ah come along, Karens brother will be there, he is a real card (whatever the fuuck that is) he's gas, will usually turn out to a knob jockey of the highest order, telling "yarns".

A mate of mine kept banging on about some guy who is my "musical soul mate", as if that wasn't completely gay, anyway eventually he was out at some work do that I was at, and he bored the **** out of me.

eisenberg1 · 05-11-2013 12:33PM

Something trivial, but not annoying like a tin of beans, which has cooking instructions on it, and a "serving suggestion" which will show a plate with said beans on it, along with a pork chop and mashed potatoes. I am glad the they do that cos I would have never figured out what the fuuck to with the beans.

krudler · 05-11-2013 12:36PM

When you're walking along a street and see someone you know coming towards you, and they see you, but they're too far away yet to say hi to. So you have to do that awkward walk towards each other either smiling or looking away until you're within speaking distance thing, socially awkward penguin moment.

I remember as a kid we used to laugh our holes off at the serving suggestion, generally just the beans on a plate!

When I was a little older, we found out that they mark 'serving suggestion' on the tin so that you don't think there's actually a plate in there, and end up taking them to court over the disappointment!
