What winds YOU up ?

[Donnywolf]

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"


  Maybe I should get out more !

[Boomstick]

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.

[Bollinger]

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.

[tommy toes]

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.

[Nudga]

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

[Dutch Uncle]

I hate it whenever anyone says ‘one of the only...’

[Bollinger]

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.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Aye. That's one of mine too Dutch.

[scawsby steve]

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!!!

[drfchound]

Of instead of have.
Are instead of our.
As instead of has.
So......at the start of a reply or explanation.

[Orlandokarla]

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.

[Nudga]

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

Killing people dead?


Is it possible to kill people alive? 😀

1. Dj's calling a record a tune.

2. Use of the word banter

3. Announcers asking the audience 'to give it up for ......'

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"

[RedJ]

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.

[bahrain rover]

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.

[Bentley Bullet]

People who sucker up to management and back them in disputes, but reap any benefits that have been gained because of them.

[colfromdonny]

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.

[Bentley Bullet]

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.

[mushRTID]

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

[5minstogo]

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.
