Everything annoys me at the moment and particularly predictive text.
I am an old git

Sod the suspension a car can handle speed bumps taken faster than 1 mile an hour.

However I accept the aching bodies bit, so from now on will only get annoyed if the driver (or occupants) are younger than old :)

People that have four cars in their family that take up all the parking that forces me to park on my lawn as I have no alternative.

And yes, I get annoyed with myself for doing it.

Packing to go on holiday

I read somewhere once that it's because when English travelled to the colonies 'undreds of years ago that's 'ow it was said. It's become herbs in England over time but they stayed the same.
'ope this 'elps. :)

Now the American pronunciation of parmesan....no excuse for that.
Also, while we're slagging them off what about their habit of saying the country after the city name, as in Paris, France or London, England?

Or (usually) American pop stars at concerts who say that love being in the town or city that are playing at, and its the best place ever.

"Thank you Sheffield!!! I love you guys! You are always the best crowd and I love being over here!"

Just as a matter of interest, how do they pronounce it? (Though I suppose anyone who doesn't pronounce it parmigiano is wrong anyway.)

Personally I'm happy to hear Americans pronounce words any way they choose. What I do find really annoying is that Brits copy them. Leverage is a perfectly good word, been around for ages, now it seems necessary to pronounce it 'levverage'.
What on earth are levvers? I fought they were the clothes what bikers wear.

They pronounce it Parma-Shon :-)

I haven't read right through but I guess BBS poster "Maestro" has been mentioned a few times in it this particular thread ?

Being woken up by a) my cat at 6am on a Saturday and b) people hammering nails and shit at 10am. Who does anything before lunchtime ffs? Don't get people who get up before 11am on weekends

Scum of the earth IMO, only slightly more tolerable than vocalists who insist on giving some long speech on Jesus/life/other meaningful stuff and people who film the whole gig in front of you

So how do you say it in England?

Parma-zane?

And yes... the "herb" thing is very odd. Especial as it is one of the very few words beginning with H that I actually pronounce the "H"!

It's taken me 30 years to to start adding the H in to words, and this one takes it off!

I saw The Eagles at Earls Court, and Don Henley said something along the lines of, "Thank you Earls Court.... by the way, who is this Earl and where is his court?"

Sort of made me smile, as I'm sure he too gets pissed off with saying as you describe above.

I saw Oasis play at Wembley stadium years back. Liam walked out as they do, to "****in' in the Bushes" music cuts out, Liam says into the mic, "alright you ******* cockney bastards."

Set the tone for the rest of the night :)

So does Sean Connery

Etihad Hostesses at Man City why are they there?
Flag waving at Arsenal
Brian Kidd

The fact that even as an Australian, I find Mile's accent off putting in interviews

Edgeog.

People in Manchester accents saying 'pounds' or anything rhyming with that.

Bank holiday drivers.

Norwich City fans.....this coming week is going to be horrific by the looks of it.

Yes?

Similarly New Yorkers' pronunciation of human as youman.
Makes my toes curl.

The "how much have you spent today?" thread.

I was once talking to an American woman outside Windsor Castle and she said in all seriousness "Oh yes, it's a super building, I wish we had castles like this in the US. But fancy building it so close to an airport" :eek:

A weekly job at the moment init

Love my garden but mowing grass is booooooooring

Its a right pain in the arse isn't it. The next house won't have any, i'm thinking about astroturfing it :)

Go for it. Couple of 5 a side nets. Some Dee fans round for a weekend of footy and beer. :D

Haha I think 2 a side would be cramped. Maybe i'm moaning unnecessarily :)

Sep Blatter & FIFA

My dad had his back garden done recently, had a few turf samples, and by far the best one was called "Selhurst".

Went with another company in the end that didn't have such wonderful names for astroturf.....probably for the best, he would have spent most of the day slipping over !

Both clients of mine more than a decade ago. And not easy to deal with (not necessarily for bad reasons).

Milky tea

M25 this afternoon - absolute cluster****.

That shitty irritating red screen with white noise bollocks that the BBC stick on because they still haven't got HD regional news despite it being old hat technology that will soon be out of date. For f*ck sake.

Haha :)

Absurdly biased and lying <respectable> national broadcasting scum.

Hotels that leave the tv on for 6 hours with your name on the screen to welcome you to your room. And you then go into the bathroom to find a sign they are very environmental and would like you to reuse your towel. Just turn the ******* tele off you *****.

"Selhurst has the ultimate bounce back ability"

Pricks that dress stupid, today I stood behind a man in a queue wearing a sarong, men with that top knot hairstyle, cocks that get tattoos on their necks and judgemental people.

Haha! This made me laugh. Well some loves the attention.

The same hotels are usually the ones that insist on bringing you water an hour or so after you check in, i.e. mid coitus if you are travelling with your girlfriend (twice in two different hotels, and neither gave up knocking until I answered the door with no subtlety). Also annoying.

Do not disturb sign?

Mood killer. Who is thinking of such things in the spur of the moment. Plus I think I had it up one time. I guess they didnt assume I really mean it moments after checking in.

Read that again :D

Just shout fock off

I saw that when i posted it and decided to leave it in anyway :p

I did have to shout **** off once because he started opening the door anyway. Hotels are too enthuiastic to show off that they actually give you free water.

Ha, ha, indeed, it is favourable to have it up in such situations ;-)

The utensil drawer in every household kitchen. It gradually gets filled up with so much useless shit that you can't find things you actually want like a potato peeler, and always has a potato masher in it that gets caught on the cabinet every time you try to open or close the over full drawer.

Also depends on what shape the bottle is.

People that pronounce the letter aitch as 'haitch.'

Total c**ts they are.
Especially television continuity announcers that are paid to speak properly for a living.

Channel 4 announcers are the worst culprits.

The c**ts.

Absolutely. Makes me wince every time.

The word snuck, surely it is sneaked.

Absolutely.
It's an Americanism and it narks the f**k outta me.

It's actually sneakededed

Snickers. It's a Marathon, end of.

Women who can't walk in a straight line

Ironically my sister can ONLY walk in a straight line, as in she constantly crashes into people because she has no awareness of the fact that sometimes she has to be the one to move out of the way.

Is this because of flap rub on corners?

Women who walk with their prams side by side and dont get out of the way for people walking towards them!

People who say "them" when it should be "those".

Gardens. You chop everything down and 2 weeks later it's back again. STOP ******* GROWING YOU GREEN PLANTY *****!!!

Bang on I hate them people too....;)

Fans of every London premier league team that isn't Palace. Why are they all such plastic c*nts?

Dopey twats, both staff and customers, constantly asking whether or not I've been served yet when I'm just standing at the bar trying to have a quiet pint. Fu@k off!!

Thick c*nts.

I got talking to a bloke yesterday who asked me where I was originally from in the UK. I was wearing a Palace polo top. I said Norwood, Crystal Palace area and pointed to the badge on my shirt. He said "oh I know the area, are you a Palace fan then?" FFS. "Yes since I was 11". "Oh one of my friends is a big Palace fan so you are too then?"

NO I JUST WEAR THIS SHIRT FOR A LAUGH I SUPPORT DAGENHAM AND REDBRIDGE YOU STUPID NOBEND.

Children that can spell far better than I can:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/pict...?frame=3322117

Yes but to be fair most of the words they were trying to spell in that article sound like they are completely made up. 'Fauces', 'oenomal', 'intussusception', 'isagoge', wtf

I know, they sound like words out of Blackadders dictionary :)

Glory hunters.

Who did you support from birth to 11 then ?

This might be a US thing... cyclist that have their front and rear lights on in strobe mode in the middle of a bright blue sunny day.

Yes I can see them coming from half a mile away, but the important bit is the last 50 yards, and I can see you just fine thank you.

IW_Eagle's thread about his stop over in LAX reminded me of a real annoyance:
US Immigration.
It is without fail the most laborious drudge of all the immigration entries I have to go through and that includes some pretty decent competition e.g. China.

Since I got my latest passport in Sept 2012 I've re-entered the US 34 times (I counted all the stamps last week whilst waiting over 45 mins to be processed). Over 20 of those have been on a Green Card. Every time they photograph me and fingerprint me. At what point does their system say, hang on a minute, this guy is a frequent traveller, maybe we have his mugshot enough times?

US Immigration is barking mad. Have had problems where my wife was accused of never leaving the country thus committing an offence - even though we had just landed at international arrivals! Really intimidating to be taken out of line and led to an office for further "processing".

9/11 totally fecked them up and they still haven't recovered.

US immigration has been rotten for the whole of the 25 years I've been going back and forth there. Canada is also a trial.

The queues in the UK can be pretty horrendous at times as well though.

Boy - I didn't realize they did that with Green Card holders.

I'm beginning to think they should just implant a chip in our necks like they do dogs. I seriously would be OK with that if it cut down on this meaningless waiting in lines.

I do have to say the set up at Miami was not bad though, where a machine scans your face and compares you to the info on the biometric passport.

Now if they could only figure out something for the customs line.

Trying to get to the bar to order a drink and some dopey twat is blocking my way having a quiet pint :)

Where they are in place I am forced to use those machine readers. Not once has one worked, always to the back of the queue (having wasted 10 mins getting a stupid print out telling me to see an immigration officer - I could have told you I was going to end up in that line 10 mins ago :grrr: ). Thankfully BA terminal 7 at JFK hasn't got them yet so I can usually (being at the front of the plane most times) get into line early. Still mugged and printed though, every time!

US air travel is shit. They let me through with a lighter, a pack of matches and an expired license, yet they confiscated my wife's expensive hair care products.

Guess they don't care if the plane blows up as long as their hair looks smashing.

I love going to The U.S. but as has been said, passport control is awful.

It's almost like they don't want you to visit their country.

As others have said Heathrow is is not exactly the standard to judge other countries by either... why is it about a mile walk from the plane... great when you've been sat on a plane for 10 hours - not sure how old folk do it (I guess I find out next time!).

Huge lines for non-UK/Euro citizens also.

football-free summers

So true :(

Staplers.

Why don't the last half dozen staples ever work?

It's a shitty design that we've all put up with for decades. Sort it out Rexel you bastards.

They all sound quite cromulent to me.

:p

Its this that really ****s me off...all the shit EU and Swiss (WHY the Swiss) get to walk through like us but the Commonwealth buds have to line up with the rest.......:veryangry

I'm not aiming this at anybody in particular.

The increasing habit.... of people who post in forums.... who post things... with lots of full stops.... rather than using punctuation...properly....w....t....f....... ?

What are people taught in English Language lessons these days?

Ellipsis is punctuation ......doh! :)
