Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

Utility companies that place meters outside your property for their benefit and then send you an estimated reading. I mean what the fcuk is that about?

Christmas Jumper Friday....do feck off

[clockworkorange]

In no particular order...

Tumbleweave.

People that eat Chinese food with chopsticks on a packed commuter train whilst sniffing furiously (quite niche)

Ppi calls

Cyclists that wear black and have no lights

The way tess daly says the word "couples" (and then says it over and over again.

That is all.

Even more so as it's in aid of Save The Children, an organisation so out of touch it gave Tony Blair a humanitarian award last month.

Use of "train station" instead of "railway station" - yet another Americanisation.

I've used "train station" since I was a child, and that was in the late 50's and 60's, not convinced it's an Americanisation

[DulwichFox]

I've always used Train Station.

Like Victoria Coach. Victoria Train Station. Not Victoria Railway Station.

Railway / Railroad would seem more an Americanism

They had the Wagon Trains and then the Railroad Trains.

Who Knows.. ?

Use of the term 'parking lot' instead of car park, it seems a lot of people nowadays use this Americanism and grates almost as much as a hipster baking sourdough bread or that ginger comedian on ITV2.

How about "This election is too close to call"? A US election - yes. But not a UK election, although political commentators in this country are now using the sentence.

[Loz]

I don't understand that one, ZT.

[Zebedee Tring]

"The result of the election is too close to be predicted".

[Alan Medic]

Which is too close to call. English isn't it?

[Zebedee Tring]

Actually, it was American English but it now appears to have become English English, like so many phrases in recent years. That doesn't mean that we have to like it.

I have an important interview tomorrow morning. I also have a bruise on my forehead (fridge door), a grazed knuckle (hoover) and dark circles under the eyes (persistent cold). Prospect not looking good.

[the-e-dealer]

see you down the Mall. Ask a lady about makeup I'm sure you can hide bruises.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I'm female and I'm wearing make-up...

[the-e-dealer]

witchhazel.

Panel is all male so I'm thinking distraction may work, possibly cleavage.

[jctg]

Twitter again. Or maybe social media. Just everybody talking and having an opinion. Mawkishness.

I thought you were a feminist, RPC?

[Jeremy]

A woman who looks like she's been bashed about, with her boobs on display... that ought to make for an interesting interview.

And your other options are......doing a Sharon Stone?

[Zebedee Tring]

How about doing something more subtle, such as walking in with no clothes on at all. They'll certainly remember you.
