Yep, that really annoys me too - I end up scraping away all the crumby butter in the bin.

He might have said freaking because someone else mentioned he hated that word a few pages back :)

Ah - I haven't read back yet :)

I thought frigging was a swear word in itself?
A female w@nk innit.

People who order coffee in pubs. **** off to Starbucks you *****.

The steep increase in cost to visit the tunnocks factory. I've already started to look at showing blue ribbon my money instead.

Cyclists line abreast at waking pace

Parmejan

'And the soup? It has to be Heinz.'

So Correct

The way the bloke says 'Wickes' on the Wickes advert.

When something even mildly controversial at the club occurs and posters choose to bore on about the BBS going into "meltdown"

You know it does you good....

You don't like backwash? :eek:

People on the BBS who constantly post with an agenda - there are a few posters who manage to squeeze their tiresome line of thought into every post they make on every single possible thread even if it's not remotely related. So f*cking boring, give it a rest. We know you, for example, hate Pulis, stop relating him to every post you make!

Also the twats in the petrol station that need their skinny latte with a pastry at 5am.Feck of and let me get me petrol. The petrol station that thinks it's Starbucks. Wankers the lot of them:veryangry

See post 3 in the'' Parish considered re hiring Dougie '' thread:D

Like a certain poster who somehow manages to slip Wilf into absolutely everything?:D

Don't know what you're talking about ;)

Anyone who says they've been on a 'journey' when describing something which doesn't involve travel.

For example, the politician who describes their career as 'a fascinating journey'. The failed talent show contestant...'Im not sad 'cos I've been on one hell of a journey' etc etc

Auditors from a major supermarket who tell you how you should do things at your company but don't apply any of these standards to themselves. C*nts the lot of 'em.

Timbo.

People who say 'uni' instead of university. Somebody holding a packet of condoms and a Pot Noodle burning a can I go first stare into your back as you wait at the checkout with your trolley full. Seriously overdoing the term 'young people' during politically correct interviews with Bill Turdbull.

Repetition........from words or sentences on an advert ("My car needs a" being a casing point) to stupid sounds played over and again on radio or TV shows or even my old man going around in circles on the phone, repeating himself. It just makes me want to smash things to bits.

Ed Balls and Ed Milliband - tossers

Cameron and Osborne--tossers

Vimpto
Expresso
Arks (ask)

People saying "what I call" and then say a word that the whole world uses to describe something. This is today's and I am not kidding, when referring to the senior executive of an organisation the term "what I call the CEO" was used, unbelievable.

Agreed. Although thankfully, it's clear that you think this is because they are doing their dimwitted best to make the party and politics for which you dearly hold to heart almost completely untenable to the general public.

It's that isn't it?

This with bloody ginormous bells on.
Where the **** did this come from?
An IT guy in the office (now left the company, probably not for this reason, but a worthy sackable offence in my book) used to say arks or acks as the yanks pronounce it. I brought him up on it once. Asked him to say mask for me. Which he could. So I asked him why he couldn't say ask correctly. He took umbrage and didn't reply. I think he was just trying to sound "street". Git.

The more bullshitty aspects of the corporate world do annoy, that is true.

American border control officials. The unnecessary macho tough-guy image to ensure you know the US isn't a doddle to get into you know, what with the terrorists. And who gave them the right to pass judgements on passport photos anyway?

Think it's been alluded to earlier in the thread but footballing clichés

EG.
"No easy games at this level"
"A real six pointer!"
"The no 10 role or in the hole"

The last one especially- you don't say a goalkeeper plays in the no 1 role, left back in the no 3 role or a winger in the no 7 role. Just say attacking midfielder FFS.

Oh and one last cliché

"If they appoint Tony Pulis, they won't go down." :D:D

Radio Adverts. Especially ones with young children who talk about things like complicated finance details, as if they are experts.

People who whisper on adverts.

Basically , adverts.

One for me is when an advert has a bit of success, they spin it off for the next few months and years into a whole family of characters to really milk anything that remotely got a reaction about the original advert. Compare the meerkat and that stupid ******* robot for confused dot com, thats you.

Yep, the BBS has gone into actual 'meltdown' on about 4 occasions.

Career laughers who will howl with joy at any mildly amusing comments from their "superiors" at work. They also display an obvious fake charisma to reel people in. Subtlety is the key, pooh nose, subtlety.

Spot on. It's almost as if the general public (ergh!) forget what the original concept message is all about, and the new direction metamorphosis into a whole new stratosphere of nonsense !

I'm convinced people are more interested in "collecting" meerkats rather than getting a competitive quote, or whatever that company does :hmph:

F*cking Bisto ads, and those coffee ads with that munter Sharon Maughan.

Aint that the truth. I recall being actually incredulous when i saw that compare the meerkat advert and they were selling the cuddly toy first in front of any original message for what the company actually did in the first place.

Its surely only a matter of time before that ******** robot on prozac is being sold on confused dot com.

Have you seen the recent confused advert? He's only ruddy enlisted all his robot mates to come on an adventure to rescue him ..... Certainly gives Gareth Hunt / Nescafé a run for their money ...... Perhaps Nescafé should have "spun off" and sold toothbrushes or something .

I despise having adverts shoved in my face all the time and this doesn't help.

wankers. Absolute wankers. Compare the silent big bald bloke in New Jersey who refused to show any kind of friendliness or humour to the woman at Heathrow who chatted to us (as in my family) happily when we got back. You don't have to treat people like subhuman scum to do your job.

People who think that memes are a web based phenomenon and believe that there are certain 'meme' rules that must be followed.

Utter ****wits, the lot of them.

Maybe do some research on the theory behind the concept before showing your ignorance in public? :-)

People that get all self important over job titles.

Getting up in the middle of the night for a piss .

True, the person that invents the App to do that for you will earn a ******* fortune.

Office workers that treat a cup of Starbucks coffee like crack cocaine as they march through tube stations holding it in front of themselves.

I guess the consequences of not doing that might be more annoying!

We were only talking about that yesterday. I got an e-mail from some little 5 man company and the guy was calling himself "Director of Quality".

I can just imagine him on holiday telling people, "Oh yes, myself I'm a Director of Quality".

Not that I have tried it. But I imagine drinking crack cocaine would taste better than Starbucks.

I love it when someone tells me they're a Head Chef, only to discover they are the only person working in the kitchen.

It's like declaring yourself Captain of a surfboard.

People who don't appreciate how hard it is to captain a surfboard

This one annoys and bemuses me in equal measures.

For a country that is so overly friendly once you're in, they sure as heck (see what I did there) don't make you feel welcome at customs.

Customs officer in Las Vegas asked me, “What's the purpose of your visit?”. The overwhelming temptation was to say.....
a. “Take a guess”.
b. “To consume as many drugs and f**k as many prostitutes/hookers as my body can manage”.

The correct answer is of course, “I'm on holiday/vacation”.

People who bang on about their politics on facebook, I don't think they care about the cause tbh, just an excuse to show how right on left wing or proper naughty right wing they are like a fashion statement.

People that keep saying the word like throughout their sentence. Worst of all is if they do this and then raise the tone of their voice at the end. Drives me up the wall and makes me want to give them a slap.

When you call up a doctors/company etc only to be met by a secretary that sounds like she's got something stuck up her ass. Whatever you say seems a problem or and you feel like an incontinence. Does my head in.

John Lewis Partner.

That's a good one. We have "senior conductors" on the trains at London Midland, there are no other types of conductors working for the company, so why are they called that? :)

I have a friend who is into his job titles. He is trying to get me into the Falkirk FC foundation where he works, to get me some part time IT tutoring work. My first question, naturally, was 'what does it involve?', his response was 'IT tutoring, what job title do you want?'. I said 'I do not care'. He appeared to be shocked.

Anyway, drivers who do not use their indicators, speed cameras in places where they are not needed and speed bumps where they are not needed.

NO YOU DON'T

:(

:)

I knew a window cleaner who called himself Managing Director. Little p***k.

My kids who don't have the strength to push the light switch to turn a light off.

"here here".

Not only is it wrong, but it doesn't make any ******* sense.

Also, its just copying posh politicitians in the first place. Who wants to do that?!!!

Couples who have rows on Facebook. So classy.

C**ts that troll boards looking for something to criticize as they have nothing worthwhile to add themselves.

Touched a nerve there.

Proved my point

Yes, dear, that's exactly what happened.

I'm assuming you use "here here" then?

Well, try not to get offended when someone gets annoyed by it then.

(BTW, its "hear hear" for future reference. Equally irritating but at least correct.)

Keyboard warriors,

Facebook giving me a notification when it's someone's birthday. Get one just about every day. Pisses me off

I estimate you have 365 friends then

Really??? Do you want make something of it?










:clown:

That's time to get creative. Something along the lines of "Web Ninja", "Server Overlord" or "General of Direction" (you can abbreviate in your emails to GOD).

:D

Impressionists on TV or radio panel shows, who's only purpose is to shoehorn an impression in....

They normally open with "I think if David Beckham were here he'd probably say"..... * cue impression *

I've gone for a top 10 that I can think of at the moment:

1. People that call me 'bro'.
2. Getting caught behind slow walkers and not being able to get around them.
3. People that when they write text messages, abbreviate words by one letter. For example 'what' to 'wut'
4. Skinny jeans on men.
5. When i make assumptions that are wrong.
6. When i say 'can i get'. I know the correct way is 'can i have' but for some reason every now and then i'll say it.
7. People that say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'.
8. People that are constantly late when you have arranged a time for something, and you've turned up on time or early.
9. People who talk like they're an expert in something they know little about.
10. People that show so little thought and respect for the people around them.

Virgin media

I only logged on to upgrade and grab BT sport. Through their combination of poor customer service and false advertising I am now looking to switch to BT / Sky - are either of these two any better?

People who sign off emails with a single letter. Used to deal a lot with a guy called Ali who would sign off with A. As if you are so busy you can't afford the time to type another two characters.

You could be an absolute moron like me and pay for the BT package for £20 a month on sky.... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm surprised Alastair McGowan is still allowed on any sort of broadcast.

Pizza toppings. If you want any more than one or two toppings, the cost spirals because for some reason things like onions, peppers and tomatoes are charged the same rate as meat and fish. Tight bastards.

Ex-wives. Hurry the fck up and crash that car (with no other occupants).

Bro, slow down.

What is wrng with skinny jeans on blks ? You're assuming all jeans are the same style and material, which is not the case.

Can you get some pacifically tight ones and we'll meet up ( shall we say around 7 ish, I'll be there ) and we'll chat about the virtues of mock baroque fashion throughout the ages, which I know all about because I studied it on a train to Carlisle once....whilst eating hot spicy food on my way home .

:D :D

I came across a Director of Events last week. She was taking the bookings for a conference.

People who call themselves Project Managers who in reality co-ordinate a few things and don't have a clue about what proper PM entails. (Sidetrack, palace fans who call themselves a PM and do fck all whilst being paid for it..)

I do love a bit of multitasking.

:D

Gym class instructors. By shouting that extra bit louder all its doing is making me angry.

:p

:D but you forgot to sign off as C.

On a similar theme, the teleshopping ads for the exercise regimes with all those perma-tanned, narcissistic numpties jiggling around with their sprayed-on sweat smirking inanely at the camera.

"You too can have a body like this in just ten minutes a day. Stupid, fixed grin an optional extra."

Tottenham fans

Those nobends advertise that you can look like them buy jumping about in front of a telly for half an hour a day when they've spend every living minute of their lives going mental in a gym. F*ck off.

As a scientific experiment i'm going to see just how loud they can shout by dropping a dumbell on his unsuspecting foot. Lets see you do five more now feckface. I only go in there to be slightly less fat because train driving is hardly condusive to having a body like rambo.

Printers. Do they ever work? Even when you think it's alright, give it a month and it'll play up. Feel like throwing the overpriced thing out the window.

The monetisation of the basic human need to use the toilet when in public spaces.
