OH is a lovely bloke but he has some habits that really irritate me. One of them is an obsession with accents/how people pronounce things. So for example a conversation might go like this:
Me: did you see that on the passenger side of that van?
DP: "parrsenger?" Who says parrsenger?
Me: look, it's going past now
DP: parrsenger, lol
Me: fine, it's gone now
DP: what was it?
Me: I no longer have a single flying fuck to give because we have a variation of this conversation at least once a day...
I have a slight northern accent and (truly crap) Northern is his thing whenever he wants to make out that someone is being a bit dim. I find that offensive. He also does impressions of my northern family, even though he really likes them.
I know he means to be funny, and I know it's just a little thing, but after 5 years of it, I kind of want to staple his tongue to his ears. I have tried many times to explain how I feel, but he just keeps on doing it, and now it's starting to cause arguments.
AIBU and should I try to laugh it off a bit more? Or is it ok to find it infuriating and to kill him and bury him in a shallow grave with northern sayings carved onto his casket?
