Perfectly reasonable things which you unreasonably unreasonable about

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Names with umlauts in them, unless you live in Germany or nordic lands. I don't mind accents in names, or that funny dot above the i in Irish names, but names with umlauts in get on my tits. Especially Zoë. Everyone can pronounce it when it is spelled Zoe. It is just attention seeking.

ooh
tautology may be my word of the day :)

People (MIL mostly) referring to clothes as "little" as in "That's a nice little jacket". No it's not sodding little, it's my great big fuckoff £500 before the sale kicked in suede jacket thanks very much.

People who put food on my plate. I serve meals in big pots in the middle of the table so everyone can help themselves. I don't want to get something else from the oven only to turn back and find someone has helpfully loaded my plate with broccoli.

OOh yes tautologies. Like MOT test.

I have to complete a form at work called a Hire Assessment Form. Eceryone calls it a HAF form. I have to stop myself from saying 'actually you only have to call it a HAF' because to do so would make me sound like Adrian Mole.

The use of lol.

Fat people who say they don't eat much/eat unhealthily. (I'm not skinny btw because I like cake)

Trainers worn with jeans.

Football tops. (DH is away and I've hidden them all

People who say,"Nights are drawing in" in August

Facebook

Posters using words I've never heard of so I have to go and look them up, taking up valuable brain space.

sugar on cereal is, IMO, unreasonable. it has sugar IN, for goodness sake.

i nearly died last night when i saw the ad for choc chip weetabix. and we wonder why obesity is on the rise...

People who think the T in MOT stands for test

GetOrf i expect Pandora was the type to go sans pants...

ooh, yes, I'm spelling it "dvjkwerio", but it's actually spelt "peanuts"

i am wearing jeans and trainers today

but in a very retro, stylish manner. honest.

MayorNaze - i too was in shock over chocolate weetabix.
but i do put chocolate on my normal weetabix and on my special K - because they taste odd without it.
(as i found out on Saturday when DH made me weetabix without sugar - i thought i was eating shredded what [bleurgh] )

and yes, my DH does make me breaksfast on his day off.
i'm very spoilt.
but i deserve it.

add ATM machine and PIN number to the list.

I was in the queue at my local railway station the other week and the dreaded 'how are you spelling that?' question was asked of the person in front of me. They wanted to go to Wrexham. Guess how the ticket-clerk was spelling it?

i think i would spell it Recksum

ant3nna - I am suitably

What was I thinking?

What a twat I am etc.

chocolate for breakfast should only come in the form of an easter egg, at easter, when the dcs do not see you

how on earth do you put chocolate on weetabix?? do you spread it with nutella or what??

weetabix is the only cereal allowed with sugar in this house. and the sugar is administered by me

my name is actually miss hannigan

people with one or two randomly long finger nails (especially youngish men with long floppy hair and dopey expressions)
cars/vans abaondoned where ever the driver feels like it, blocking the view of any passing car - inviting an accident cause nobody can see past offending vehicle. but it's o.k - the driver has put their hazard lights on!
groups of cyclists riding 2 or more next to eachother - especially when there is a perfectly good cycle lane that the council has spend thousands on to keep the cyclists off the road so we can drive up the road without fear of knocking them into the ditch.
random old people talking to my grizzly kids in the supermarket ''ooo, you're not happy are you??''. how is commenting on their grizzlyness helping anyone?!?

Haven't read the whole thread so this may have been done before...

Women putting on their full face of makeup on the train. I don't know why but it makes me want to throw them off the train, mascara and all!

People who offer you solutions to your moans. Such as if you said 'God, I'm so busy in work!' and they say 'Well, maybe you'd find it easier if you wrote a list of all the things you need to do and prioritise them.....yadda yadda yadda'.

Surely anyone with any sense knows that the answer to 'God, I'm so busy' is 'Oh no, nightmare, hope you get things sorted' - or something of that sort. If a solution was required you would have said in the first place 'I'm so busy at work, what could I do to make things easier?'.

Grr!

Go on then - what DOES the T in MOT stand for?

MOT = Ministry of Transport.

My family would probably suggest annoying know-it-alls while giving me the look

Transport

It should actually be an MoT test - little o - Ministry of Transport test
