I mean REALLY winds you up. Here are 4 Categories but feel free to add more
In Sport (or at Sport) The Muppets at Golf who shout "Go in the Hole". The Ryder Cup is full of them
Telly Advert Haribo where Hells Angels speak with kids voices
Telly Prog Wanted Down Under (No I never watch it - because it will be the same as any other I saw just with different people)
General People who answer a question starting with "SO". Example Q "What number Bus to you take to Work" A "So I usually get the 27 Bus"
:chair: Maybe I should get out more !
-
Rising intonation at the end of every sentence, as though everything they say is a question.
Very common in the corporate world, and I think it's come over from america.
f**king hate it, and it winds me off the clock to the point of avoiding conversations with people that do it.
-
1. The constant and recent misuse of the word 'of' instead of 'have'. It started in writing with people saying 'he should of scored' and now it's everywhere in speech.
2. TV Reporters who start a report with the words 'Yes, I mean...'
What do you mean? You've not told us anything yet.
3. The never-ending overuse of the word 'like' by millennials...'And I'm like a bit angry'.
You're not like a bit angry. You are angry. I witnessed an interview with a new university student this week. Her first sentence, which consisted of twelve words, included the unnecessary use of the word like four times. Norman Collier and his broken microphone would have made more sense. Or should I say he would of?
4. Laura Kuenssberg.
-
All of the above except the Haribo ad whigh I quite like.
I have to turn off when that bloody Sally Nugent does the sport on BBC breakfast. She's so fackiing full of herself.
-
People, I hate people.

Each to his own, but I quite like Sally Nugent. She's not a patch on Kat Downes though.

The above two 100% agree.
Some bird on this morning discussing Allergies which she suffered from (I am in full sympathy). Have you ever had to use your Adrenaline Pen asked the interviewer. Yes I was sort of stung by a Wasp. No you were stung by a Wasp.
I also dislike (and have said so on here before) Commentators saying such things as " the Goalkeeper just about kept that out" or "the Left back just about kept that in" when in the first instance no Goal was given and in the second no Throw in resulted
So the Keeper kept it out and the Left Back clearly kept it in
-
I hate it whenever anyone says ‘one of the only...’
-
I also need to add...
The overuse of 'amazing' as an adjective. Every bloody thing is amazing these days. Nothing is great, nice, fabulous, gobsmacking, brilliant or uplifting. Everything is sodding amazing.
I'm convinced the number of words in modern vocab must be shrinking by the day.
Also, the misuse of the word literally...'there was a bang and my heart literally jumped out of my mouth'...err, no it didn't.
-
Aye. That's one of mine too Dutch.
-
I hate the way youngsters these days have completely abandoned the use of the letter "t", replacing it with what's known in Linguistics as a "glottal stop". It's most common in south-east London, and it sounds awful.

That's also a Leeds regional speech habit - another thing to love them for.
Agree with most examples given above but the 'So' habit really boils my piss these days.
Another misuse that gets on my pip is 'are' instead of 'our'. Can these people really not understand English.
BTW, the Oxford English Dictionary redefined the meaning of the word 'literally' last year to match the incorrect use of it that has become so prevalent. Jesus H Christ!!!
-
Of instead of have.
Are instead of our.
As instead of has.
So......at the start of a reply or explanation.
-
People who have no understanding of the 1st and 2nd Amendments, yet propose eroding them.
People who use terms such as 'trigger warnings,' 'micro-aggressions', and/or insist on enforcing their 'preferred gender pronouns' on people.
People who immediately label those with different opinions or values as racist, (whatever)phobic, or guilty of hate speech - very dangerous in a country without freedom of speech.
-
A woman I know doesn't know the difference between his and is.
"So ******* his going to see his doctor today"
Am instead of I am or I'm is another.
But worst of all, the thing that winds me up to the point of killing people dead is sloppers.
f**kin dirty sloppers who eat and chew with their mouths open. Children seem to have terrible table manners these days. Why the f**k can't their parents hear them slopping when I can?

Yes there were three examples that "helped" to get them to change the definition
"The addition may come as a relief to pundits and politicians who have been ridiculed for using the word incorrectly (said the Dictionary Spokesperson)
Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, last year described low-rate taxpayers as “literally living in a different galaxy”, while Sir Ian Botham, the cricketer, in 2007 said batsmen surviving appeals for leg-before-wicket dismissals had been “getting away with murder, literally”.
Jamie Redknapp, the Sky TV pundit, once said of the Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney that he was “literally on fire”.

Yeah like bloody Concrete Mixers with all the food - n stuff * - going round in their wide open Mouths
* Thats another one - n stuff - cropping up in loads of conversations. Usually teamed up with "sort of" or "like"
We sort of went drinking and stuff last weekend - and it was like really good

Is it possible to kill people alive? 😀

DO you mean people saying "Bugh..er" instead of Butter ? I agree that happens a lot as does my next one.
Abandoning the Th sound and replacing it with an "F" sound - e.g. Forn instead of Thorne. Watching The Chase it is obvious that The Beast is a very bright bloke but even he when offering big money will say " Firty Free Fousand Pounds"

Kitsons who get right up your arse despite you doing the speed limit.
Kitsons who get right up your arse when you're doing 70mph on the motorway but repeatedly flash their lights for you to get the f**k out of their way because they're obviously important to drive at 100+.
Kitsons who undertake you despite going the speed limit.
Kitsons who don't f**king do the speed limit when it's clearly safe to do so.
Kitsons who use the incorrect lane on a roundabout then f**king mouth off at you for daring to be in their way.
Kitsons who drive way too slow on the motorway (we were behind a woman going less than 50 yesterday at one point in a national speed limit section).
Kitsons who pull out on you at a junction but seem to think it's your fault and mouth off at you.
Awful lot more than that (even just if I limit it to the road). f**k me, people are Kitsons.

Filo,
You instantly brought in to my head the Motorhead record Killed by Death.. Really no sh*t

Bang on with 2. “Banter” as a catch all for terrible behaviour.
Agree with people who’ve said using “so...” to start a sentence, but for me it’s worse when people end a sentence with “so”. I’ve started just saying “so what?” if people say it to me now.
-
People who sucker up to management and back them in disputes, but reap any benefits that have been gained because of them.
-
Most of everything so far but one of my many pet hates is the use of the word 'decimated' to mean completely eradicated when it only means one in ten.
-
Overuse of the word 'disaster'. It's been trivialised so much that it's no longer a strong enough word for describing a real disaster.
-
d**kheads who park over two parking spaces, clearly on purpose because they think they’ve got a better car than everyone else.
That shite comedian Miranda.
Couples who plaster all over social media they are going out on “date night”. Ffs your just going out with your partner, not a date is it??!!

All of the above for sure ... but there should be another one added (maybe 2)
Kitsons who drive without lights when the Rain is sluicing down and the skies are leaden and there is spray everywhere. I think that they think "well I can see perfectly so why do I need Lights" What we need is the Florida Law "Wipers on - Lights on"
Kitsons who dont scrape their Car on severely frosty mornings but simply clear a patch as big as and in the shape of a Letterbox
-
People who say "Tuna fish". What other bas**rd tuna are you gonna stick in a sarnie?

To add to the above.
Kitsons who drive in lanes two and three on a four lane motorway when the lanes one and two are empty, or in lane two on a three lane motorway when lane one is clear.
It sometimes causes other drivers to have to pass them on the inside because the outside lane is full and you cant get into it.
Also, when drivers park their cars in a parking bay and some d**khead bangs their doors into them when they get out of their own cars, or park so tight up to them that the other driver can’t open his door to get in his own car.

I am kind of guilty of driving in the middle lane for extended periods but I only do it when I can see there's a few lorries not so far down the road that it'd be pointless moving over and coming back.
-
Come on lads. Get it all out. Every. Last. Drop.
My own? People who say "Sickth" for the cardinal number after 5th. I just want to hurt them so bad so that they'll TRY a bit harder next time.
Orlando. You do a very good job of living up to a stereotype. It's a good laugh, but you really need to be careful taking the piss out of armed folk like that.
I used to know a guy from 'murica like that. He used to sit watching the telly every night, sharpening a big f**k off Bowie knife.
I once asked him if he had any idea how f**king stupid that looked to civilised, 21st century people.
Only askec him once, I'll grant you.
-
I was once ridiculed by School mates for saying something was "totally unique" .... if its unique they say it needs no other word ( absoutely / really / totally / quite etc etc)
I always notice 50 years on when people say it - but is it worse than able Drivers pinching Disabled Spots in Car Parks or conventionally fuelled Cars nicking the Electric Charging Spots in Supermarket Car Parks ? Naaaaahhhh
-
Those connected with pro-golf who say...golf course, golf shot, golf club.
Why? You're a golfer, we can see the greens and flags behind you so why define it? What other type of friggin course/shot/club would you be talking about anyway?
Add to that while we're at it, any US golf fan during the period of the Ryder Cup.
And Michael McIntyre. Now there's a bloke stealing a living.
-
People who add the word "absolutely" into a sentence when it both doesn't really fit and is totally unnecessary.

To be fair, if they have the time and space to do that then I'd say you're in the wrong lane.

I would normally agree, but you get people that try and force themselves through gaps that aren't really there. And it isn't even necessarily on the motorway. I've had it happen to me on the approach to a junction when someone's moved into the other lane and then cut in front of me just before the line. I move over if I'm clearly in someone's way who's going quicker than me and I don't mind too much if they're reasonable about it it's when you get Kitsons who come out of nowhere and flash their f**king lights at me that get me riled up.
I'm sorry but you can't really justify speeding anyway. I'm not saying I've never done it in my life, Christ I've been done for it, but there's no excuse.

Women calling each other 'Hun' on social media sites when if truth be known they detest one another.

People misusing the word “survivor” when talking about crime victims.. you survive an event which otherwise may have killed you, like a plane crash, a shipwreck, or cancer..
As vile as some crimes are, the use of survive to emphasise the severity of the crime to the victim is unnecessary..

Supermarkets selling Halloween theme cakes etc now that will be out of date well before Halloween..

Neighbours not clearing up the dog turds in their back garden for a fortnight during the height of summer..
Cheese...

TV interviewers who ask a politician a question about something.
The said politician then rambles on about anything but the answer we are waiting for then the interviewer says thank you instead of trying to force the issue and get the response that the original question wanted.

Yep, a classic.
However it is no better or worse than the many hundreds of times I have heard similar waffle from many of our elected representatives, whatever party they are from.

That reminds me of another thing that winds me up, the constant right-wing bias of the BBC!
-
Vegans who have to tell everyone they are a vegan and judge you for eating meat. Fine it's your choice but I like meat and lots of types of it.
People who scowl at babies. We've all been babies, sometimes yes they cry.
Experts commenting about things on tv, often politicians. Having worked for a couple of companies this past year that have been news stories, it's staggering to see how much blatant lies politicians on all sides use to make a point. A point by the way that doesn't actually benefit anyone.
Supermarkets moving stuff around like from.one side of an aisle to the other - just what is the point?
Jamie Oliver - enough said.
Sugar tax. What a load of b*llocks. If I want to drink a fizzy drink the extra tax ain't gonna stop me.
On the above point, companies changing recipe to avoid said tax - Barr I'm looking at you ruining irn bru.
Football commentators. They just talk so much rubbish with their generic comments. Yawn.
The lefty bias of the BBC...
The constant moans of xxx is biased.
Driving anywhere near Manchester, particularly the last ten miles taking hours..invest in the transport in the north ffs.

Supermarkets I am sure you know do move things about so you have to look for them. While you are doing it (they hope) you will notice things that you did not intend to buy and actually be tempted to but them. As for me it makes me mad because I would know I wanted 10 things and exactly where they and once they move it takes extra time to find them - and I penalise them by buying nothing extra (extra time and Penalties ?)
Sugar Tax - yeah stupid. The plastic "furore" is undoubtedly a massive problem too but also a get rich scheme for loads of opportunists. Lots of Companies have not given a flying f*** about producing and consuming it. Indeed they would have switched to lower their cost and make more profit. Now just listen to them as they want it the other way too and are becoming "champions" of the Oceans and little fish. They are jumping on the bandwagon to ..... of try to lower their costs / make more money.
Footy Commentators yes they drive me mad. Forever hypothesising on what might happen or what they think needs to happen rather than actually delivering a Commenatary on what is happeneing
-
YOU LOT ;) only joking.
-
Friends/colleagues with babies who talk about nothing else. You've had a baby, I'm very pleased for you, but it's something that a great deal of the population do - I don't want to see every inane picture of your baby doing something that pretty much every other baby does at some point or another like sitting up or crawling.
Ditto people doing likewise with weddings.

Oh I know about plenty of right wing corrupt media. Everything from The Mail deliberately deceiving their readers in an article about my work, through to Fox News editing out people booing Trump, via the lies they've peddled on a daily basis about Brexit.
And I know many people who have swallowed the lot.
But I suspect you're not talking about those examples, are you?

People moaning about "millennials"
Too much football on TV
The obsession with football "debate" - everything having to be a talking point and being strung out for weeks and months, everybody feeling like they have to have a view on whether player X is better than player Y, the endless over-analysis on TV from people like Gary Neville making everyone feel like they need to talk about football through the lens of micro tactical analysis all the time.
While I'm on the subject, the way every football show seems to feel the need to copy Sky's style with the big screens and the analysis of dull minutiae.
Also those stupid, needless pauses for thought that pundits like Gary Neville and Carragher have started doing when they start to answer a question to show everyone they're the "thinking person's" pundits.
Oh, and the constant use of the word moment/moments in football commentary/punditry too.

Supposed eye witnesses to some event who can only contribute " well I heard the Sirens going and a lot of shouting / fighting / shooting (delete as appropriate) and there was tyres screeching etc".
In other words they have seen NOTHING but may have heard some Police / Fire / Ambulances (delete as appropriate) and so are not eye witnesses at all
On a similar front the people who get interviewed after a Kidnapping / Murder / Stabbing (delete as appropriate) in their locality and they say " well I did not expect that to happen in our Street / Village / Town (delete as appropriate)
I really should Get out more / Get a Life / Get f****d right off (delete as appropriate)

People who think ‘it was better in my day’. It wasn’t. In your day people were still grumbling about how the past was better
Drivers who don’t indicate
Every TV programme featuring Holly Willoughby, Zoe Ball, Claudia Winkelman and Sarah Cox
Men who wear bobble hats and shorts
Anyone who still thinks Mrs Thatcher was good for the whole country
People who can’t find their seat on trains. It f***ing tells you on your ticket!!
The French for starting wars with Germany that they can’t finish
People who pay for their shopping and then spend an age putting their change back in their purse and their purse back in their bag
Australia and everyone in it
People who don’t get irony

Just beat me to the Drivers that don’t indicate H.A.
Do they not fit indicators to 70% of vehicles these days.
We are all supposed to be Sycic.
My other one is a desease in the Uk which we seem ro have had for 50 years or so and that is litter louts. What is a matter with people in this country. Is it really too difficult to take litter home or to simply put it in a bin nearby.

People who don't understand the difference between 'been' and 'being' when writing something.
The fact that I've become one of those people who start a sentence with 'so' and use 'absolutely' mid-sentence for no reason because I've picked them up as bad habits from work colleagues.
Oxford redefining the word 'literally'.
And the one that's REALLY making my piss fizz lately...the fact that a large number of BBC articles have become nothing more than screenshots of social media posts\tweets, where the text in the article is a copy and paste of the post\tweet they've shown a picture of. I've just read the f**king thing once BBC, I don't need you to type it all out for me to read a second time!!!

People on forums who write “this is just my opinion”. Obviously it’s your opinion, you’re the one writing it.

Well I would maybe disallow that one if this were Room 101 - because I think when people say that they are really saying - I am laying out my "theory" or fact - and its open to scrutiny and I appreciate that you may disagree with my view - and thats fine by me !
Well thats my opinion of course :scarf:

Well what really really wound me up today was the young couple in Morrisons who talked throughout the Remembrance Day silence. The whole store fell silent with most people just standing still. The exception being a young couple early 20’s who just carried on discussing what they needed to get - I had to thank them after the silence for being so respectful...arses
-
Some bloke was on his phone during the minute's silence today. Is it really that hard to turn your phone off or at least put it on silent for a couple of minutes.
-
No - and what about those Muppets chanting Chorley Chorley who did not listen to the "procedure" ?

Basically every sentence uttered on talksport is pretentious bobbins. I could write an essay on the knob head comments of every presenter. Buts its the American invasion of the English language that makes me want to vomit. On match of the day, after a player scored, took his shirt off knowing he would get booked, the f**kwit commentator goes "he could care less about that " wtf!!! He could, could he? Care a little bit less than he currently is.. Arsewipe!!

I don't like cats... AT ALL but it's people who try to tell you that cats are affectionate, THEY'RE NOT!! they are mercenary bas**rds that either rub around your legs when they want food or sit on your lap because you're a centrally heated cushion. THEY DON'T WANT YOU FOR ANYTHING ELSE!

Dogs, needy, slobbering shitting, smelly bas**rds.
Whore themselves out to anyone who will stroke them.
Cats make you earn their respect, and are fiercely independent.
If a cat likes you, you've earned it.
A cat is part of family, dogs are a dependent.
No offence, just hate dogs.

I love my cat even though he only wants me for food and for somebody to hone his fighting skills on.

I'm with you BS. I can't abide dogs.
My youngest is terrified of dogs since one ran up and jumped on him in a park when he was 2. He's scared to death whenever he's out somewhere and there's a dog off the lead. Thanks a million you t**t who allowed your out of control mongrel to affect my kid's independence.
And the number of dipshit owners who say "oh he's just being friendly" when their f**king creature jumps up and you and rubs it's mud-covered paws all over you abd sticks its snout in your crotch beggars belief.

My previous cat I found laying half dead on on our front lawn one day.
He was old, one eyed, had hardly any teeth and was emaciated.
I took him in and me and Madame Toes nursed him back to health.
He was with us for another 2 years til he died of old age. Nobody can tell me that cat didn't love us. He was the kindest most affectionate old bugger you could wish for.

Your so right bst . When the dog owner just let's their dog jump up all over you, and get it's filthy paws and slobber all over you 'because it being friendly' f**k OFF WITH YOUR SMELLY MUTT !
Don't even get me started on those cretins who pick up the stinking shit, then just hang it off a fence in a non biodegradable bag.
Oh and then there's those cars and houses that just reek of dog, absolutely disgusting smell that makes you want to gip.
People have a genuine fear of dogs, and those idiot owners that let them run free in public spaces, have a special place in hell reserved for them.
When a dog is running at you, and you have no idea if the dog is 'friendly', are you in your rights to boot the mutt in self defence?

I love that thing more than most people.

Yep, hate dogs with a fashion. Mind you I'm a postie so it goes with the territory. The thing that really gets on my tits though is these idiots who have the poster on their front door saying 'my Doberman etc can make the gate in 3 seconds, can you ?'
Well no but my size 10 boot is able to reach the dogs knackers in 2 seconds........

You’ll never see a cat owner scooping up its shit that’s for sure. My neighbour had 2 cats and I’m forever having to clean their shit up and lob it into their garden. Makes my blood boil.

Orlando. You do a very good job of living up to a stereotype. It's a good laugh, but you really need to be careful taking the piss out of armed folk like that.
I used to know a guy from 'murica like that. He used to sit watching the telly every night, sharpening a big f**k off Bowie knife.
I once asked him if he had any idea how f**king stupid that looked to civilised, 21st century people.
Only askec him once, I'll grant you.
I’m fairly stereotypical of many U.S citizens, I suppose, in that I believe that freedom of speech is a basic human right, and that the right to protect myself and my family is sacrosanct.
Civilised, 21st century people should recognise that freedom of speech is a basic human right, and a civilised, 21st century society need not be rendered defenceless in order to be kept compliant.

The Muppets today who were driving without lights on the M18
and
especially the Muppet driving the other night on M18 who only had one nearside sidelight on and overtook me. I had slowed down because I (honestly) could not work out what it was following me but had it been a bit left of centre I would NOT have seen the light at all. Huge potential for a prang

I feel you’re getting into specific incidents now Wolfie! We could all recount our daily frustrations and that could go on forever!
Bad grammar winds me up. ‘Of’ instead of ‘have’.... that is such a common one nowadays.
‘He could of done better....’ arrrgh!!

Use of totally wrong words is one of mine too, Pancho. 'Are' in place of 'Our', the various forms of 'There' used incorrectly.

“Has” being used instead of “as”, ie such as “such has”. I don’t like it the other way round but at least there’s a bit of logic behind dropping a letter - adding one though?!

Halal food. I was in a restaurant recently, they had some Moroccan chicken, it looked delicious. But it was their 'halal' option, so naturally I chose something else that didn't look as nice.
f**king barbaric practice and should be outlawed. I refuse to go anywhere near the stuff.
I hate the fact places have to accommodate this bullshit, backwards practice .

Two more road-related things which boil my piss.
1. Pedestrians who cross the road (in busy traffic) when there is a crossing a few yards away. Lazy gits!
2. Cyclists who suddenly go from cycling on the pavement to cycling on the road (or vice-versa).

Cyclists without any lights at this time of year..

i work in the catering industry and would say 90-95 % of chicken is halal people just don't shoot about it , nanado's chicken is all halal , and some meats from subway , around 90% of animals are stunned for halal meat and not just slaughtered nowadays.
things what pixx me off
1 people on there phones when paying at a till its just rude
2 people trying to joining the motorway at 30 M.P.H
3 people who go out for a meal and spend all there time just texting there friends or taking photos of there food just eat it and enjoy the company your in
4 motorcyclist who weave in an out of traffic and look at you when they cannot get by as if its your fault

Actually I do now - however most of the area these matrix signs are on are not near housing
-
On the flip side a mate of mine lived in Scotland miles from anywhere on a farm and his lad had asthma
-
Where are the pollution-based speed limits that aren't near built up areas.
My ex-colleague lives near Tinsley viaduct. The pollution levels there were horrific. If its a choice between doing something to address that or folk getting home 5mins earlier, it's a no brainer.
-
Billy I think you missed my point, from junction 28 going north these matrix signs have been on a timer (same going down to 28), initially it was a managed motorway. All of a sudden it’s an air quality issue. If it is air quality then slowing the traffic and having stop start will only make this worse.
If this is the best we can come up with to tackle greenhouse gases it is laughable.
Has slowing traffic improved Tinsley (genuine question)
-
I've no idea what the purpose of the limits are on that stretch (fortunately I don't use it as often as I used to - God knows enough of my younger life was lost there). But it's well known that reducing speeds at peak times increases the smooth flow of traffic, as there's less hard braking at high speed, which ripples back through the traffic.
To me it's a non-issue. If you do 25 miles at 60, you take less than 4 mins more than you would doing the same 25 miles at 70. You use a lot less petrol and have less time up the arse of the car in front of you. And you pollute less.
Tinsley. I don't know the official analysis but figures I've seen say there's not been a single day this year where the NO2 concentrations have been above the legal limit. I don't know what mybex-colleague's situation is like because he's a Kitson and if I never see him again it'll be too soon.
-
Billy it wasn’t the extra time taken it’s how they’ve packaged it up.
Totally agree with the idea of smoothing out the traffic flow, however there is always some kitson in an Audi/BMW who wants to be somewhere too soon who causes everyone one to brake by trying to cut through traffic.

I have never thought of that before - and as you say makes no sense - unless the "cheap" implies or doubles for rubbish / crap (as in cheap and nasty)
So it would be crap even if it was half this price ? That works otherwise its a mystery.

Once had an auditor turn up, we had arranged lunch. I had to ask a question I knew the answer to having set eyes on him, do you have any special dietary requirements? He was nearly see through having had all enjoyment drained from. Wouldn’t even drink Yorkshire Tea the to55er as it had to be fruit tea. Even had the cheek to turn up in a Winnebago for a 2 day audit and wanted to sleep on site

2 further things
BBC Breakfast just called a bloke in who tried to sail round the world to ask HIM how the Woman who lost het Mast and has been picked up by a Cargo Ship would feel like when she landed in Chile later today ?
He started with a kinda this kinda that and mention kinda like this 4 times in his first 2 sentences
So I kinda thought that bbc kinda were grasping at kinda straws asking this bloke kinda how the girl would kinda feel when she kinda got to Chile
Where do they kinda get these kinda people and kinda WHY ?
Yours kinda Victor kinda Meldrew !
-
The original saying is "Cheap at TWICE the price" isn't it?
-
Just looked it up and apparently ‘cheap at half the price’ is an attempt at humour. It was a deliberate transformation of the street trader’s cry ‘cheap at twice the price’ so I guess as a nipper in Donny market I completely missed the joke.
