Trivial things that annoy you part 479

I hate it when people write know when they should be writing no.

"Thanks for letting me borrow that book."
"Know probs."

Journalists and news broadcasters who say "Brishish" instead of "British".
Drivers who don't indicate.
Americanisms - 'store' instead of shop; 'movie theatre' instead of cinema; 'movie' instead of film.
Jaywalkers - getting tired of people crossing the road in front of moving cars.
"I seen" and "I done" instead of I saw and I did.
When I look for something in my trousers or coat pockets, it's NEVER in the first pocket I search.
Why does Brian Dobson say "goeen", "meeteen", "talkeen", "sayeen" instead pronouncing "ing" properly?
Noisy eaters.
Poor customer service - "are you okay there?"

Is jaywalking not also an Americanism?

Otherwise, yeah, I'm with you on the whole American influence thing - smoothies, juice bars, brownies, cupcakes... and loads more that if I wasn't trying to think of them they'd occur to me


Hate when that happens! :mad:

The fact that an Irish company is being prevented by the British competition authority from buying another Irish company,

yet everyone is more than happy to allow a British company to buy the same Irish company.

(I assume you all know the Irish companies I'm speaking of..)

Lets not make such rash assumptions! Are we talking about airlines?!

When I have no idea what people are talking about (I'll google later, but for now I have no idea ).

I'm reminded of being in company and we're all talking about something, and then someone says something they weren't meant to say and everyone else knows what they're talking about, gives them that look to hush up, and you're left wondering why are you being left out of the loop? :pac:

Put waffles in the oven and forgot about them. An hour and a half later I have a very smokey kitchen and some very black waffles!

The bitch next door really gets on my proverbials. Our cats like to sit on the dividing wall in the front garden, emphasis being on DIVIDING wall, it's a shared fcuking wall, but without fail the bint will come out and chase them off the wall every fcuking time she sees them. Every fcuking time. They've a concrete garden for fcuks sake, the cats can do no harm. Sometimes I actually think it'd be worth an assault charge. Instead I'll have to content myself with daydreams of me, her, a shovel, some bin bags and a deep bog.

My next door neighbour was the same except it was me she pushed off the wall and I had a massive cut down my arm. I was only about 8!

Bin bags are no good. What you want is a bag of lime...

I actually think something is wrong with me. I'm watching The Fox and The Hound for the first time ever and it's making me so sad. I actually feel awful watching it!

Apart from the turnip and curry incident Im very ta that I dropped my.phone down the toilet today. It's not charging now and I have a funny feeling it won't live to see another day.

Mine survived a toilet dunk, just give it a chance to dry out. My phone is pretty great actually, it was even chewed up by a puppy and it survived.

I'm currently TA'd by tipsy hiccups!

I took the kids to a book reading on Saturday with a little workshop after where they could make a book. The kids all sat around a table with the parents/grandparents sitting nearby.

All of the kids and the parents were having a great time as the author was really engaging and thankfully no one felt the need to get out their phone and document proceedings, apart from one absolute head melter of a granny who spent a good 30 minutes out off the 45 taking photos and video of her grand daughter. She moved around the room, blocking people's view, so she could get various shots of the child from different angles. At one stage she knelt down and physically positioned herself on the back of a chair of a young kid to get her shot.

How many fcuking pictures of a child sat around a table listening to a man talking do you actually need? Are you ever going to look at them again? Oh look there is young Sinead sat a table. And luckily I have the same shot from numerous different angles to look at too should I get bored of this particular one.

The child in question was one of those who was shouting out things/talking loudly/interrupting the author a couple of times, and every time she said something 'funny' the granny would leap up and look around the room with a big proud grin on her face making sure we all thought her grand daughter was a special as she obviously thought she was.

She was definitely 'special'!!!!!

My kids are really well behaved when we eat out. We've brought them to restaurants since they were young so they are well used to it and know how we expect them to behave. I brought the eldest two for lunch at the weekend and once seated I gathered from the dirty looks, eye rolling and muttering from the couple beside us that they weren't too impressed with the prospect of my spawn sitting beside them!

Fair enough as I've seen some terrible behaviour from kids in restaurants go unreprimanded by parents but we had only just sat down and they had pre-judged the kids and weren't shy about making it obvious they didn't want us there.

And, OH YEAH, don't get arsey about children in restaurants if you choose to go to one that welcomes children, provides a kid's menu, crayons for colouring etc. and be careful with that eye rolling or one day they may get stuck in the back of that ugly head of yours, and wouldn't that be a tragedy!

'Normal' food for the adults and highy nutritious chicken nuggets and chips for the kids.:rolleyes:

The fact that sarcasm just doesn't come across in text to most people..

Go and sabotage a fox-hunt.
