Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Jah Lush]

Forget it Ots they'll make you cough even more. Vaping's for ninnies.

[Otta]

Will have to be cold turkey then, because I am literally splitting my sides with this cough.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Vaping doesn't cause me rage but I do think they look silly. It just has that attention-seeking look to it - oh get me in my hipster beard and skinny shorts, I can even smoke digitally. Surely only a matter of time till someone invents a digital alternative to drink.

[Salsaboy]

Ricky Gervais. His pudgy smug face and smarmy voice advertising another load of David Brent shite.

[ruffers]

Car wheel covers / hub caps held on with cable ties.

[DulwichFox]

When you just finish a second coat of deck stain... and it starts to rain... Grrrrh.

Two great young divers win gold in the synch diving last night, no one says a word.

Tom Daley wins bronze and no one shuts up about it.

Start celebrating real success and stop feeding overblown egos.

Louisa.

The water that pools in my toothbrush holder.(cup type of thing)

[Nigello]

I disagree that a "noone says a word" about Mears and Laugher. Their success was given lots of airtime on the BBC and online and they feature in today's papers. They're not going to be household names, even with this level of success, so it isn't fair to compare them to the (er, over-exposed) Daley. More like them (and the other UK athletes of all disciplines).

To keep on post: dimbo, selfish parents who think it's a good thing to show their contact-bereft young child a kid's cartoon/show with the volume on on a bus or train.

pigeons, I really hate them

[midivydale]

Drivers that refuse to look your way or acknowledge that you have done them a favour. Yes,I am talking about you, the lady with no manners doing your lipstick in the 4x4 this morning on Ivydale road/Lanbury at 7.30am. Had I not swayed and waited for you, you would have crashed into the side of the car where my 4 yr old was happily munching on his apple. You realised that you nearly crashed into us, but could not acknowledge with a glance or a wave that I saved your "no claims bonus". That hideous lippie was more important I guess.

My son now knows the F-word, great

You are an idiot - and your lipstick looks awful

[BrandNewGuy]

"Apple cider"

[Nigello]

Yes - just call it "cider vinegar" like it has always been called. Cf: "grilled cheese sandwich" vs "cheese toastie" and "mac 'n' cheese" vs "macaroni cheese".

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Shops that advertise ice creams and ice lollies,but when you go in looking for a lemonade sparkle or the like all they have is ice creams on sticks or cornetto type things. I'm done with accepting a big feast as the nearest thing they have to an ICE LOLLY.

The often repeated fatuous remarks you get under some people's Facebook photos - "Looking Good" or "Looks like you're having fun."

[Elphinstone's Army]

People of any age,on being photographed, be they sports personalities, actors, 'celebrities' photo bombers, or most upsetting,

on wedding photos or family gatherings, who stick their tongues out and think that it's funny.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Salt cellars. Damp hole. Does my nut.

[malumbu]

Add dried rice. Just come back from a holiday and the hotel did that. No brainer realy.

People pushing trolleys sideways down the supermarket aisles. (There's an epidemic in Sainsbury's today.)

[Nigello]

Everyone being called "guys" and women being called "girls", even the women in our excellent female Olympics teams call themselves "girls". They are women, not girls. Blokes, lads, fellas, chaps - but not guys, please.

[ed_pete]

Increasing use of the word "Seniors"...

[Alan Medic]

Don't know whats wrong with 'guys'. It's origin is probably older than the others.

[Louisa]

The word 'Guy'is a very old word dating back to the gunpowder plot of 1605, when a bunch of Catholic political figures decided it would be a good idea to kill the king at the state opening of parliament by planting a load of gunpowder in the cellar of the parliament building. After this failed attempt, the word guy came to represent a grotesque or ignorant man, which was transported via cultural ties to the United States, where over the years the phrase came to just mean a man, or later anyone, in an informal setting.

So it's actually not American by origin at all, it's origins are from here in London.

Louisa.

[Nigello]

Even if your etymology is correct it is a word that most of us associate with the USA, not Britain, and its adoption here over the past ten/fifteen years (probably because of the internet rather than films and music) definitely sounds imported. You hear it in adverts all the time: Asda mums in Pontefract say it, just as middle-class stag-lads do. I much prefer "bloke" or "man". It's become a bit naff, IYAM.
