Describing something as a "..... to die for". Why would anyone be prepared to die in order to get their hands on, say, a cupcake?

[Otta]

Cupcakes!!!!!!!!!!

Or at least the modern day version which is actually nothing like a cupcake as I understood them as a child, and tends to include these little shiny "edible" balls which actually share the same consistency as your average pebble.

[Salsaboy]

And they come back out whole.

estate Agent who says "its going to take 6 to 8 weeks to complete a purchase" who then rings in 2 weeks time and say "you know I said six to 8 well its good news its going to take 6 weeks" Ofcourse it fing is its two weeks later you knobhead.

[the-e-dealer]

This sort of bollocks!

But the deal goes further than just enhancing our standing in one of our core vertical markets. A major synergy ? and one of the key drivers for this acquisition ? is that it gives us the ability to roll out Kamanchi recruitment application development and consultancy services to our current recruitment clients ? helping provide further value to our user base and filling an acknowledged solutions ?gap?. We will also be looking at learning from the Kamanchi model and applying it to other core markets, including legal and financial services.

Getting dressed up to go and watch a film as one of the film's characters.

[Zebedee Tring]

Use of the American word "outage" when there is the perfectly good English word "failure".

Just the getting dressed up to see a film is enough surely?

Yes. I am referring to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. As well as this Secret Cinema business.

People who feel that it's right to share on Facebook etc horrific photos of people in war zones such as Gaza with their faces blown off or lying in bits and pieces. I've had to "unfriend" someone who did this the other day.

This is insulting to the relatives and friends of the victim who probably didn't give permission for this and who will probably be horrified to have the photo spread throughout social media. It is also insulting to compassionate and adult people who will probably agree with the poster that the conflict that led to the photo is awful but who are savvy enough to know that, unlike in a computer game, a body that is hit by a bomb doesn't just fall over and lie there but is likely to be blown to pieces. We can use our imagination and have got past the stage of accepting that when Jerry the Mouse flattens Tom with a frying pan, Tom will re-emerge totally unscathed in the next scene.

In fact I would go further and call it atrocity porn.

I agree with you. However, it's not 'irrational' or a 'tiny little thing'.

Perhaps I should have started a new thread entitle "Bloody Enormous Things That Cause You Rational Rage". Indeed perhaps I will.

People who think they've msrked their space in the supermarket queue by leaving an item on the side . And on their return with arms laden ,shoulder past you and your solitary packet of butter without a word .

[Zebedee Tring]

People in supermarket queues who, after they've packed all their shopping in their trolley, only then start to rummage around looking for their money or cards, as if they're thinking "Oh, I see, you're expecting me to pay for this stuff".
