Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[KalamityKel]

Wivout going into too much uninteresting detail - time wasting = insisting on seeing me, wait all day for appointment (not a prob as this is how it goes), get to appointment for doc not to b particularly interested (im certainly not exaggerating) and says i should go back to a&e... couldve done that in the first place and earlier in the day instead of wasting mine and their time.

Ive always had much respect for the medical profession but recently... *shrugs*

People who wear backpacks or babies then swipe you with them because they couldent be bothered to check if anyone is behind them, or crush you/wap you in the face, in a queue/on a bus with them.

people on bikes who think they can cycle anywhere they like and be rude with it.

People who think they are the only person in the shop/bank/post office who needs attention/serving.

People who think everyone should look out for/entertain their children whilst they shop/quaff wine/be in conversation - in fact anything rather than look after their own kids.

Annoyed/brassed off/lost all desire to be anymore tolerant and pissed on from a great height people like me.

Green banana's. If you want to eat a banana it seems you have to plan days in advance.

What AM said. I like mine more brown than yellow.

Same with a lot of supermarket fruit. I bought a melon over a fortnight ago that's still sitting on the kitchen windowsill rock hard and smelling of nothing in particular. Bet it gets a soft spot before it's ripe enough to eat at this rate. Never mind the avocados. A mixed salad has a two-week leadtime.

My phone goes quiet in cant hear the radio or music. I look on the screen it says something nanny-ish about it is on too loud and could damage my hearing. WELL I CAN'T FING HEAR IT NOW! Don't phone manufacturers know EVERYONE LOSES A BITS OF HEARING as they get older?

People who talk about "growing" a business rather than helping their business to grow. You grow vegetables, not businesses.

Put it into a bag with a banana for a couple of days. The gases released from the banana will ripen it up. :)

People who say "sourcing" instead of "buying" (thanks to Otta for this one). Going to the butchers does not require the language of a corporate supply chain.

Too bloody right, makes my blood boil.

Especially when Sourcing Ketchup !

The use of the word "scoping" when what the person really means is "investigating". "Scoping" is really a computer science word, like so many words that have entered the world of bullshit language in recent decades.

" does not require the language of a corporate supply chain."

not sure anyone needs the language of a corporate supply chains. And I include corporate supply chains in that

I don't think that's true... "scope" is commonly used in programming but I don't think that the verb form is exclusive to computing.

[the-e-dealer]

Origin

mid 16th century (in the sense 'target for shooting at'): from Italian scopo 'aim', from Greek skopos 'target', from skeptesthai 'look out'. sense 3 of the noun is derived from -scope.

[Robert Poste's Child]

The thing about jargon is that using a little of it tends to give people the comfort that you know what you're doing (as opposed to a lot, which makes people think you don't know how to turn the theory into action). I use 'to scope' as shorthand for 'to understand and plan the potential scope of' and I think it's OK. Work context only, though, otherwise you sound like a prat.

[Zebedee Tring]

The point that I was trying to make was that "scope" has become yet another bullshit word - and IMHO that's the case, regardless of what the origin or the correct use of the word is.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Cous cous. It gets everywhere.
