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!!!

The term "work colleague". What other context do you use the term "colleague", really? :laugh:

I’m not sure there is another situation where you would use that word mate.

Ouch. Walked right into that one didn't I? And I tried so hard to not use 'literally' incorrectly.

People who drive massive vehicles who can't drive or park them properly. A common sight in my neck of the woods.

Those bloody stupid traffic lights they've put up on the roundabout at Warmsworth over the A1. Traffic flowed fine before. Now they change every few seconds holding everybody up.
AND they'd have cost about £250,000 to put in.

I always have an issue with traffic lights on roundabouts. You have one or t'other, but not both.

You ever try driving round Park Square roundabout in Sheffield before they put lights on it?

Train managers who call us "customers" and say, "we are now arriving into..."

I'm a PASSENGER. Customer suggests that I have a choice about whose service to purchase.

And it's AT.

Roundabouts and traffic lights where there are 2 lanes and immediately go to one past the junction

People who drive massive vehicles full stop.

Viz had their number 20 odd years ago.

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.

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!!

Cats!!! Cats annoy me! Very closely followed by people who profess to be animal lovers then buy a cat and let it roam around killing wildlife and shitting in my garden! Absolutely repulsive creatures.

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?
