Things that annoy you

[Oldham]

People that shout down their mobile phones instead of talking

 

[Sarge]

individuals who shell out good money to apparently 'watch' sport or entertainment events, then spend the entire event glued to their handheld device, thumbs working overtime

 

[Oldham]

The same people who walk aimlessly along the street and into the road whilst peering into their phones etc

 

[milburn]

People who line the countryside hedges with bagged up dog sh!t

 

[Yellow River]

People who start match day thread too early.

 

[Marked Ox]

People who throw their rubbish onto the ground rather than find a bin.

 

[Paul Cannell]

People who don't pick up their dog's s**t.

People who hang their bagged up dogshit on a tree then forget to pick it up till they pass that way a week later. (poss me, Mr. Milburn. Apologies)

 

[Paul Cannell]

Sweary filters that don't sfucking work if you extend the sweary word.

C'mon ESB, is this system written in ffucking Ffortran or what?

 

[Sarge]

British based companies that use helpline call centres based overseas, staffed by people for whom English is very much a second (or third) language


those of us calling a help centre for help would find it helpful if the person the other end could understand and speak English

nicola sturgeon and to a lesser extent Miranda Hart

 

[SteMerritt]

People who start, or add to, a list of annoyances on the internet.

Trying to get caviare out of a sturgeon and discovering you've gutted Nicola, then having to wait hours for a surgeon. Better in the long run to be a curmudgeon with a gudgeon,

 

[Maurice Earp]

People who bully people verbally and who say its simply BANTER

I totally agree that Nicola Sturgeon is annoying and would add Alex Salmond.

 

[SteMerritt]

Omission of the Oxford comma.

 

[mooro]

American bastardised spellings replacing correct English

....and missing the word "AND" out of dates eg "Two Thousand Twelve" and numbers "One Hundred Fourteen"

Also:
The Fashion Industry (for all the false, misleading and downright dangerous images and ideas that it {a wholly irrelevent sideline to life} bestows onto society in the pretence that they are important)
Cookery Programmes (either the banterish Sunday morning type) or the competition ones where the main factor in judging the quality of an offering is taste - a factor intrinsically lacking in the televisual medium. Extra mention for the number of made up words the industry has invented to describe what is in effect the same thing (ie. sauce).
Music where no-one actually plays an instrument and the only person actually contributing any musical talent (ie. the singer) is relegated to a secondary position in the credit behind the person who stole bits of music from other people's songs.
When the balance of messages in your spam folder shifts towards funeral plans and gout treatments instead of prospective wives from various European countries
Sports journalists who spout statistics that are completely unremarkable - (eg the first time since.........{not very long ago})
My Wife
