Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Robert Poste's Child]

It does sound rude when people do that. It's also quite manipulative as it implies that the other person, usually someone who is doing their job in some way, has overstepped the mark and is too stupid/overzealous/up themselves to see how out of order they are.

[Alan Medic]

Yeah but to call it an obscene Americanism is unfair. Like it's their fault.

[Jules-and-Boo]

back to track....

people (esp. at work) who do such a shoddy job knowing that there won't be time for them to 'learn' the task (not taht tey don't know it anyway) and correct it - thereby leaving it as a problem for someone else....

Just dishonest lack of effort and general laziness.

one chap in particular, who would happily watch his colleague struggle, stay late, work weekends and pretend he was too busy to help. I've now moved into this role and it's apparent he did absolutely nothing..

he now knows I know and is very nervous at having been caught out.

TV Presenters Like Rav Wilding talking about Ambulances and Fire Engines Racing to the scene..

Ambulances and Fire Engines do NOT ... Race .. to the scene.

I would have stopped writing after "TV Presenters Like Rav Wilding".....!!

TV presenters like David Dickenson. The tan, the out of date faux attempt at a 'Lovejoy' look. The patronising language. That's why I would never go on Real Deal, ever.

when people write 'been' instead of 'being' - they probably say it too but it sounds the same.

example - the grass is been mowed as we speak.

It's incorrect and really bugs me (not to the point of annoyance, so maybe it doesn't qualify for this OP?)

I have the same problem with 'loose' instead of lose.

I had an RSPB catalogue through the post the other day.

There is a whole Christmas section at the end, with a discount if you order cards and stuff before the end of August :))

I cannot remember where I read this, but I know that I did : 'loose' for lose is the number one spelling mistake.

Does the Fox work for them? He seems to be quite into this Xmas lark mid-summer.

"How are you?" "I'm good" - no, you're not good, you're well or fine

In a coffee shop - 'Can I get a ......'.

NO you bloody can't. Try 'Can I have a ......'.

"give me coffee, now"

[Jah Lush]

Bad manners.

[miga]

Much derided, but I think they've had a good tune or two.

the FACT that I can't go through revolving doors without thinking about *that* scene from The Godfather

[Help-Ma-Boab]

People who wear flip flops in communal showers. (I know it's to avoid athletes foot etc). Just irks me.

[TheArtfulDogger]

Men who wear socks with sandals

Why oh why do they do it ......

[Salsaboy]

Men who wear proper leather shoes with no socks and slightly rolled up jeans/trousers so that you can see their mankles. *shudders*

Windows 10 upgrade. Only one day left and still haven't managed it.

I have tried 4-5 times.. Fails at 32% - 6% on devices..

Performed rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN

and performed a recomended disk clean.

Still failed.. Now given up. Evidently ESET nod32 a/v has problems with Window 10.
