    I know, and I think I used up all the BS phrases I know, on this very thread, yesterday.
    I worked with someone who used to say and write in emails 'we need to speak to the risks involved in this proposal'. Ugh.

    I hated him anyway.

    Ah, he means "address the risks", but he's dumbing it down so as not to alienate the Hoi Polloi. You should be grateful to have once breathed the same oxygen as such a humble and considerate person. :pac:

    He used to say things like 'don't you not', and 'isn't it not'... I'm not sure was that dumbing down, or just dumb. :pac:

    People who describe themselves as "twee as ****" in a really smug way.

    The use of "showcase" as a verb. I come across this all the time at work: "this project showcases the unique skills of our operation." URGH.

    <snip> is talking about Cheryl Cole's wedding (WHO CARES!) while stuffing her face full of food and munch munch munching away and she actually just spat some food onto the table in front of her because SHE WON'T CLOSE HER MOUTH!!!!
    Seriously, this woman is 40, how do you get to 40 and have no manners??

    It could be worse. At my GP's waiting room there's usually a dreadful radio station on as background noise, somebody then starts singing or humming to a song, a couple of women who haven't seen each other for ages will start a detailed and graphic account of their ailments. That's before the obligatory kid who pulls every magazine onto the floor while mother dearest ignores the mess they make.

    The kind of sore throat that makes you sound like you were living off booze and smokes for a decade. And the fact that some people like the sound of it and want to chat even more. Bugger off, this week I'm a woman of very few words :mad:

    After using a vaporizer exclusively for well over 100 days, 100% off tobacco, and doing really really well...suddenly getting cravings and instead of looking in pity at smokers slowly killing themselves, starting to envy them as they sip their coffee and get a couple of lungs full of delicious smoke.

    Damn, tobacco is ruddy addictive.

    Stay away from them cigarettes, kids!

    Alexei Sayle did an album called "Panic" in 1985. One track on it called "Romford Bypass" completely cracked me up many years ago, about your stereotypical English sportsbike hooligan - "So I dropped it down a cog, gave it an 'andfull an' I was lee-aaarfing an' me mate was lee-aaarfing, innit?!? Then the girlfriend got 'er 'ead taken off by a low bridge, but I was lee-aaarfing, innit?". I don't think it even exists on CD, never mind electronic copy anywhere. This has me trivially but no less properly annoyed. I want it, gods-damn it!! :mad:

    The old fella across the road keeps giving out to me telling me I don't walk the dog enough. Just because I don't walk past your house doesn't mean I don't walk the dog... Now fcuk off and mind your own business.

    Multipacks of crisps , the packets are always significantly smaller than the separately sold packets so you feel the need to open a second packet as a single pack never fully hits the crisp-craving spot , robbing deceiving bastards .

    Oh good, I've always wanted to be :D. I'm going to add that to my cv.

    Trivial thing - maybe not that trivial, drivers who speed up approaching pedestrian crossings, taking it as a personal challenge to get through.
    I had to step back quickly this morning, as I was crossing because of some inbred sub human turd, who could see that I was already on the crossing, and sped up. Probably doesn't know which is the accelerator, and which is the brake.
    I was fit to be tied.

    I need some fresh air, I've got a thumping headache after browsing online for a new fridge freezer. All the ones that I like are either out of stock or anywhere between 16 and 22 days delivery:confused::mad::(

    Trivial annoyance: Waiting for my horrible old Servis fridge-freezer to kick the bucket, so I can buy one of those awsome Liebherr American-style ones. Unfortunately the stupid thing appears to be my kitchen's answer to the Terminator. Die, you bastard!! :D

    Those fuking recorded voices at the start when you phone up companies.

    Please listen to the following options....

    And then some of them even play a 30 second advert too.

    Dicks!!
