This maybe a US thing, but I sense it maybe prevalent in The UK also... I've noticed while off work my wife has the TV on during the day and they have numerous shows on that involve groups of women (usually 4 or 5 of them) sitting around a table disusing this that and the other.
It appears that the only way each of them gets to talk is to screech louder than the current person talking this of course capitulates into a feeding frenzy of one-upman(woman)ship. The concept of going around the table for input appears lost on these people. Needless to say this screaming drives me nuts while my wife seems to lap it up. Roll on the nice weather coming when I can escape to the outside world of the back yard. |
People annoy me, much prefer animals these days.

The use of kilometres, I have no idea what you are talking about. I like watching wildlife programmes on the tv but when they give facts out like this animal can run a 40 kmh or can fly 100 kilometres a day I just can’t visualise what that is. I know what a mile is, I know what 40 mph is I can relate to that it is what my car says I’m doing. Who in the uk uses kilometres?

People doing ‘dry january’
And my sole reason is their inability to stop ******* telling us they are doing dry January - well done you but do bear in mind no one cares. Played though on managing to be more boring than those who tell us how far they have run. |

km to miles - 8/5 It makes journeys interesting to mentally calculate your speed/distance/journey time. In Ireland you have speeds in m.p.h. and distances in kilometres which is tricky. |

My wife is sick, so I volunteered to go to the supermarket today. Probably only about the 5th time in my 62 years!
The whole experience came across as very annoying. There seems no real logic to the order of the isles, and looking for some stuff is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Secondly, I expected the women to be isle hogs and bad drivers of the carts, but was surprised to find men pushing their carts so frigging aggressively in a super macho way. This happened to me 2 or 3 times. Agreed due to above I was like a little boy lost, but the aggressiveness of these guys royally pissed me off. I bet they all drive BMW's and Audi's. Pussy whipped wankers! |

I was asked to fax a document to an insurance company today (the use of a fax in 2018 is another whole post). I do not have faxing capability at home, so took the 25 page document first to a FedEx store. They wanted $2.50 a sheet, or $62.50 all in. I politely declined and said I would look at Plan B. Next went to the UPS store and was quoted pretty much the same. On to Staples that wanted $2.99 a sheet!
I got home, and sent an e-mail to the insurance company with a .pdf attachment of the file in hope some nice person there sees the light, but I'm not holding my breath. The most annoying thing is, I'm pretty sure a) they already had this document, and b) the update to their website seems to have reverted all my information back to old information. It's a tough life. |
When did the expression ‘take away’ become ‘take out’ everyone says it now even my Brother and Dad, even though we used to say take away years ago in the family home.
People get infected with Americam language, do they feel like they are in New York or something? It’s a ******* take away... |

Unless you're addressing the Queen or something, most restaurant or retail interactions are largely informal, and as long as you get the message across and politely enough, it surely doesn't matter. All this stuff has more to do with an irrational fear of 'Americanisms' than anything else. Not sure why. Perhaps 'kids' saying 'can I have' in 1974 were being berated similarly. |

Surely it's simply "I'll have..." Personally I've never understood why it has to be a question. It's down to the person serving you to let you know whether you can't have what you've asked for. |

I imagine alot of you say it because it is a very popular way of asking for something now. I actually notice when someone says ‘can I have’, like the odd individual not looking on their phone on a train among the people endlessle scrolling meaningless content, I admire them. |

Also E on. Each year they send me a letter with a massive price hike, because surprise i use more gas and electicity in winter so i am currently in debt. I of course applied logic and said yes but in a couple of months when it warms up we will use less and i will be in credit again. Still they want to increase it by £60 a montj. My fault i find out i am on the standard rate , so i ask to go on a cheap fixed rate. Well you cant until you agree to increase to the higher monthly rate. Again use my logic, if i am on a chaeper rate and pay the same amount as i am paying now a month it will pay the debt off.
No you have to pay the higher rate a month. I give up and hsve told them they can stick it. Will be on u switch on monday. |
