I'll start, It really gets on my wick when I hear someone constantly use rising intonation at the end of every spoken sentence. As though everything is a question!!!
f**king speak proper !

There was an interesting article on the BBC site a few months ago (search for 'uptalk' on the BBC site) about possible origins of this Boomstick. Theories included it coming from Scandinavia, Australia (with 'Neighbours' bringing it to the UK), California, or even up talk coming from a lack of self-confidence. One of the more credible theories was that up talk originated much nearer home (certainly for me) - from Belfast. I'm have quickly grown to like the Belfast accent - despite uptalk for which I share your distaste.

Ha! You'll love some of the intonations of Stewie on Family Guy then!
Where I work one of our products is a database of information that is of value to the customers, who subscribe to read it, and we update the data regularly.
The bloke who used to sell this, would (correctly) call the product a database (day-ta) but pronounced "data" as "dar-ta" - in the same f**king sentence! What a Kitson.

Lazy sods dropping litter

People who say "of" instead of "have", "won" instead of "beat" and pronounce the letter "h" as "Haitch".

People who cant make a cup of tea f**k me right off.
Leave the teabag in freshly boiled water for at LEAST 2 minutes, and then remove the teabag BEFORE adding milk.
Its a basic life skill!!

However they usually say OK Mate (ffs !!!)

Apparently you put the milk in first so the boiling water doesn't burn your tea :-)

I heard the milk first idea was from the days of using fine china, so the hot water didn't crack the cup. Either way, tea goes in first, so you can judge the strength before adding milk!

Small thing that REALLY bugs me ..... Jimmy Carrs laugh. It seems really unnatural and usually is ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa. Maybe it is his genuine laugh but seems a bit contrived ! Have a listen next time 8 out of 10 Cats do Countdown is on
Anyone noticed ? My mate says I am a t**t - NOT for noticing such things but for actually telling him. Says once he has been made aware it ruins his enjoyment

If your brewing a tea in a mug, its milk in last !!!!!
Only when you've already brewed the tea in a pot can you put the milk in a cup first.
Its a good way to judge someone's character, if the cant make a decent cup of tea, they are more often than not, a f**ktard.

Reminded me of a news item a few weeks ago. The EU are introducing a whole raft of regulations to require domestic appliances to save energy. One of them is that new coffee filter/hotplate machines will have to have a timer so the hotplate cuts off after 20 minutes.
There was an argument between a British and and Italian MEP. The Brit complained that this would mean that coffee would go cold after more than 20 minutes and so be unusable. The Italian was genuinely bemused. He said, "But surely, no civilised human being would dream of drinking coffee that had been left standing for 20 minutes anyway would they?"
Maybe the Eurosceptics are right and it's just never going to work...

Not quite, cos if you read the whole piece you get to the end:
" So, scientifically speaking, the correct way to make tea is “however you like it best”."

Not as bad as the one in Donny. If you miss one of the disabled parking spaces outside the main Post Office, just see how far you've got to go to get back to there again..!

Would love to be Policeman and watch the place and jump out and say " aha better get an extra £60 - cos that's how much extra its going to cost you for the fixed Penalty"

those b******s who don't stop behind a parked car when it is MY right of way and just ram their way through anyway

f**king hate cats.
Parking over 2 spaces just because you think you have a nicer car than everyone else, the word "sick" to describe something good, Miranda Hart, people sat on a machine in gym talking for ages and finally a recent one for me...couples who go out on "date night". It's not a date you t**ts you've been together 10 years...your just "going out"!

Oh, and work. Work annoys me.

Everyone else in the house leaving doors open and all the lights on.

Yes, that really did happen :sick:

I usually bollock everyone for it before eventually going into a full blown rant, that usually ensure a couple of days conformity before the whole cycle starts again

People who wave you out, when you don't have the right of way, like they are doing you a favour.
Why do they do that? It's just a recipe for confusion. A bus driver waved me out and almost straight into a car I couldn't see who was undertaking him on the inside.
-
You reckon WE have bad driving?
We visit the in-laws in Italy a few times a year and I shite myself every time at the thought of driving there. Apparently, the Italian makers of this video are fully aware of what they are like compared to the rest of Europe. And the other, non-driving stuff is well-observed an all.

Not trying to "trump" you but I did see the other day a shiny Black Tank (Range Rover) whose driver actually used 4 spaces to ensure maximum protection from any inferior Cars/Drivers
Often notice at Woodfield Tesco - so it may be Staff - that Cars are being parked over two spots right next to the Trolley Garages. So the Car is positioned in 2 spots as your example and all 4 sides of the Trolley Garage are similarly afflicted. I am guessing that if I looked at the rest of them (even I am not THAT sad) they too would be the same
OK - usually when I go shopping the Car Park is not that full but at peak times it MUST be regarded as selfish or collective selfishness stopping people parking whilst hogging 2 spots

I'm just back from Oz and this drove me barmy whilst over there.......... the trouble is they don't see it. :huh:
Also can't stand flaming loud Yanks....... just been to the gym and had these two meatheads shouting at each other whilst 5 yards apart and high fiving every 30 seconds......... flaming retards. :boxing:
-
People who walk their dogs and pick up dog shit in a little bag but then hang it at about face height in a small tree or bush and forget about it.
These days the countryside is strewn with little black bags of shit hanging from trees like filthy Christmas decorations.

Politicians not answering the bloody question - apart from blaming the other party for the issues behind the original question.

Chancers. The ones who come up to you in the street and say "I wonder if you could help me?" "What's a matter?" "Well, I'm on my way back home but I need a pound for my bus fare/train fare whatever have you got any change?"
No I haven't and you're the fifth person to ask me that in this railway station.
-
When women buy things they never get their purses out of their handbags in anticipation of actually paying for the items until they are told how much they owe. It bugs me when I'm waiting in the queue with cash in hand ready to pay while they fanny around taking their time.........AND MINE.

People who get into their car after paying for petrol then spend five minutes fannying around with bags, make-up, sat-navs and god knows what else oblivious to the queue of cars behind them. Belt up and drive off FFS!

If you watch Look North, stop reading now or you will never be able to watch it again without getting annoyed when Phil Bodmer is presenting.
He constantly gurns and touches his papers on the table in front of him for no reason and twiddles his pen all the time. I mentioned it on Look North's Facebook page and the following few times he was on there was a massive improvement. However he is now back to his usual annoying self.
He must be the most uptight presenter on telly.
-
I am back again
1) People being interviewed on TV who start their answer with the word "SO".
2) People who say either "like" or "sort of" or kind of" and follow it by saying what they did. Example "we like went dancing" or "we sort of went dancing" or "we kind of went dancing" (I think either you went dancing or you did not)
3) Eye witnesses on TV who have HEARD the Sirens or the Gunshot or the sound of a Crash but not actually SEEN anything. They are Ear witnesses surely and usually add nothing to a viewers understanding
4) People interviewed after (say) a Murder who say "well you just don't expect a Murder in your own Street do you" No shit Sherlock !
(Sorry I should get out more)

Railway crossings. When the barriers finally go up after wasting half an hour of your life, Why is that the oncoming cars are passing you in their droves but you haven't even moved yet?
Another one is at traffic lights. Why is the leading car's driver ALWAYS the least alert when the lights change to green?
These two incidents make my urine overheat.

Unless you are the Driver you refer to in Sentence 2 ... there is no other explanation ! :lol: :lol:

I hate talking to people who think they know everything. They should leave it to those of us that actually do.

Incidentally I think we would benefit from a Law* that is imposed in some US States - Wipers on Lights on - so at least it might remind the numpties to stick their lights on.

I have one when I'm working, a Jawbone Icon, you can stream rovers player through it from my phone and it can connect to two phones at once, anyway after doing a 10-12 hour shift I've forgotton I've got it in my ear for a couple of hours or more while I've been in the house, only realising when I get a phone call :)
-
Dog walkers who have their dogs on a long lead right accross a path meaning when running you either have to stop or jump over the lead - annoying.
Another one is people who drive over the speed limit, pulling out of my car park at home on to a 30mph limit and the amount of times cars fly round the corner at over 50mph because it's a dual carriageway and give you abuse is massively annoying - you can't see them come round the corner.
Mind, as it's a tight turn, even more annoying are those who have a go because you're slowing down to pull in to the place where you live despite plenty of indication - idiots.
Actually whilst I'm at it, in the same place, pedestrians who walk accross the entrance just as you're about to look in - have a look you idiots.
Bugger it, another one - cyclists who go through red lights and have a go - don't do it!
-
Sponsored television programmes.
-
Cyclists going through red lights are a bloody menace. I'm a cyclist myself and I hate (and feel seriously endangered by) the aggression towards cyclists from drivers using their cars as weapons. They would be less inclined to do so were it not for the few tossers who give the rest of us a bad name.
BTW I also drive 40k miles per year so I'm not a militant anti-car type either. In fact I'm very much a petrol-head.

People who can't use their car properly...not drive but USE.

People who don't wash their mugs in the office. Or even worse, they take my mug out of the cupboard and leave it unwashed in the sink.
We recently had an office clear out with any dirty crockery being binned. I was out of the office but someone had evidently had their grubby mitts on my Rovers pint mug and after 8 years' faithful service it was gone when I got back into the office the following week.
-
Rotherham United's deluded manager Steve Evans.
Someone accidently dropped and broke a Rotherham united mug at work once. It must have been worth a fortune because of the rarity of a cup with Rotherham united written on it.

-
The americanisation of Britain and other countries' cultures.
This forum is as guilty as hell. Every time I spell a word correctly like 'americanisation' a dotted red line appears under the word as if I've spelt it wrong and should have (not 'of') spelt it the American way americanization.
I'd be grateful if the moderators could set up the spell checker for 'English' not 'American English'.
Another American word that really makes my piss boil that I'm hearing all the time even from BBC presenters that speak properly is 'snuck'. The correct word is 'sneaked'.
-
Erm, the forum has no spellcheck.
That's you setting the dictionary in your browser to "English (US)" not "English (UK)"
Have a nice day!

Oh and spelt is a type of grain. I think you meant "Spelled". You're welcome.

I will amend my American Apple computer so it doesn't make my piss boil any more. My bad.
As far as spelt goes and spelled. Both words are correct. They are both the past and past participle of spell.

That reminds me. Fully grown women being referred to as guys or even worse girls. A girl is a female child and a guy is male.

Erm, the forum has no spellcheck.
That's you setting the dictionary in your browser to "English (US)" not "English (UK)"

I'd prefer an abject apology, and a confession that you actually don't know your stuff ;)

Dog walkers who have their dogs on a long lead right accross a path meaning when running you either have to stop or jump over the lead - annoying.
Another one is people who drive over the speed limit, pulling out of my car park at home on to a 30mph limit and the amount of times cars fly round the corner at over 50mph because it's a dual carriageway and give you abuse is massively annoying - you can't see them come round the corner.
Mind, as it's a tight turn, even more annoying are those who have a go because you're slowing down to pull in to the place where you live despite plenty of indication - idiots.
Actually whilst I'm at it, in the same place, pedestrians who walk accross the entrance just as you're about to look in - have a look you idiots.
Bugger it, another one - cyclists who go through red lights and have a go - don't do it!
Shall I get flat hunting grumps?

Cyclists going through red lights are a bloody menace. I'm a cyclist myself and I hate (and feel seriously endangered by) the aggression towards cyclists from drivers using their cars as weapons. They would be less inclined to do so were it not for the few tossers who give the rest of us a bad name.
BTW I also drive 40k miles per year so I'm not a militant anti-car type either. In fact I'm very much a petrol-head.
I find that when I am driving, I hate cyclists and pedestrians. When I am walking, I hate cyclists and drivers. When I am cycling, I hate pedestrians and drivers.
One of my biggest annoyances is people who have a go at you for ringing your bell whilst cycling because it is rude... Erm no, I am alerting you to my presence so that I don't hit you. The best one was cycling down the tow path last summer and a girl was walking towards me with headphones in and her head down reading a book (I kid you not) and then lambasted me when I almost hit her as she had no awareness of her surroundings at all.

So do I, especially the one who refused to let me on the bus with a £20 in the pouring rain because I was 10p short in the change that I had... Also all the people who were sat on the bus and not one of them bothered to chuck 10p my way to solve the problem.
And if the bus companies hadn't put the fare up by 10p then I would have been just fine.

Agree about bus drivers. Most are OK but there is a minority that think they can get away with extremely rude behaviour to customers. The job seems to attract a particular type of knob-head.
Another one that makes my piss boil is when you try to contact 'communications' companies such as BT. Their whole business is about communications but you wouldn't think so. You ring them up and have to go through numerous menus before you have to wait to speak to 'Bill Jones' from India who you can hardly understand and end up repeating everything 10 times before they have a rough idea of what you're on about.

Has anyone ever been called from an indian call centre by someone with a traditional Indian name, it seems English names are very popular in India now :)

The Indian's I work with every day don't have English names. But I do work with people from other countries who use English names. I also worked with a lot of students at uni who used really bizarre English names.
On that note, I once worked in a call centre when I was 17 and I occasionally had people who didn't believe I was English and my name was actually what it was. No matter what I said they weren't convinced. A little strange given my Doncaster accent.

I was in a supermarket car park the other day disabled spaces on the left all full ordinary spaces on the right this muppet just sitting in the middle waiting for a disabled space to come free it was irrelevent to him he was causing havoc and there was at least three ordinary spaces free further down and actually closer to the store. He was going to have a diaabled space it was as simple as that

The fake smiles presenters have on their faces just before the camera cuts to them. Also the fake smiles they have just after they've presented something and the camera cuts away. I love it when the camera doesn't cut away on time occasionally and they are left there with an obvious fixed fake grin on their face. It becomes excruciatingly embarrassing for them the longer it goes on.
Jeremy Paxman never used to have a fake smile on his face when presenting Newsnight. If only there were more presenters like him. Doncaster's favourite son Jeremy Clarkson is another one who is genuine.

When people refer to others as ''Fellow Foodies'' if you don't eat you die, and listening to pop stars and presenters up each others a..es talking pretentious rubbish because they are all in the same racket.

Every woman presenter on tv seems to be a ''Jolly Hockey Sticks type'', where are working class politicians?, i could go on and on.

Red Nose Day. It's just an excuse for overpaid talentless celebrities to salve their consciences by doing a bit of charity work. It makes my piss boil that they want the average Joe to pay money over while they still live in their mansions leading an extravagant lifestyle.
You f**kers have got more than enough money. Part with some of it and live in a normal house and drive a normal car before you lecture us about giving money to charity.
What Africa needs is a fair deal on trade not charity from rich people in the West. While ever they have to rely on charity they'll never learn to stand on their own two feet.

Going to a Bar where one other person is waiting but when more arrive and the Stafff return and they don't say "who is next"
However when they DO ask it becomes a free for all and usually the last f****r to stroll up often try to claim they are "next".

I think you'll find the reason why some people get served before others who've been waiting longer is is bit more subtle than you might think. I never have a problem getting served at a bar no matter how busy it is. This puzzled me so one night I asked the young lass behind the bar what she thought the reason for this might be.
She said if you think about it a lot of bar staff are on the minimum wage or less. So why should they give a toss about who gets served first. I said to her yes but that doesn't explain why I always seem to have no trouble. She said look, by and large us bar staff are fit young ladies so who do you think we are going to want to serve? She said it's obvious. If there are fit looking blokes on the other side of the bar then they are going to get served first. She said those that have been waiting the longest usually have a face like thunder and aren't very good looking.
Suddenly it all made sense.

... and how do you get on when the Staff are nice fit young men ? Still as successful I wonder

Whatever floats your boat. If you like going to those kind of bars then fair play. Live and let live I say. I'm very broad minded.
Personally I prefer bars with fit young ladies in them.

Trust you to twist a perfectly harmless / unloaded / not a trick question
I did not mean a Gay Bar - so I will try again. How do you (that is you IC 1967) get served if you go into a Bar / Pub and the Staff just happened to be all male that night ?
Do you still get served as quickly ?

Would you want him at your bar any longer than necessary?
Thought not, he'd be served first every time.😜

Sorry. I now see where you're coming from. In this instance I send my fit wife to the bar. She flashes her eye lashes and hey presto gets served straight away.
I'm a modern man and take my wife out with me most times I go out even if it's with the lads (as long as she's up to date with the housework).
There is the odd occasion where I'm out just with the lads and she's at home catching up on the housework. How do I go on in these situations I hear you ask?
Again there is a very simple solution. I suss out who is the fittest bird waiting to get served. I then sweet talk her into buying my drink for me. Once she has done my work I then tell her I'm married and off limits. You should see the looks of disappointment I get.
