trivial things that fuck me right off

AIBU?

  1. People who write 'mmmn' instead of mmm (too onomatopoeic)
  2. People who write yeay or yey instead of yay (fucked up)
  3. People who say they baked 'flapjack', not flapjacks (twee fuckwits)
  4. Nom nom nom (stab stab stab)
  5. Anyone who says 'make love' with a straight face (gag reflex-tickling)
  6. Meegraine instead of My-graine (frankly you deserve one if you can't say it properly, sorry if you're a mIgraine sufferer and I've just really offended you, I know it's a serious condition etc etc and I wouldn't wish it on anyone who could say it properly )

That is all

  1. And people who say the above ^ (you're not Miranda Fucking Priestley, but I know this has been discussed already so I won't go on about it)

Sorry, I'm 53 and have had Meegraines most of my life, as diagnosed by my G.P. father around the age of eight.
Agree with 1,2,3,4.

Hassled · 29/06/2012 17:38

I've only ever had one meegraine, and I thought I was going to die . Actually people who say mygraine irritate me. Is it a regional thing?

cabbagesoup · 29/06/2012 17:38

Agree with all - my trival thing that has me slamming objects around the house
this evening is my DS teacher not given him enough merits to get a silver like all his mates!! he's the left one out - spiteful cow.

shockers · 29/06/2012 17:41

Gotten.

Hun or hunni.

People who shorten my name without asking.

People who talk quietly on the phone. You've phoned me because you want me to listen to what you are saying, so please speak up.

Shoulder shrugging.

sesameflower · 29/06/2012 17:42

I think you need to chill out and get out more if these are your biggest problems.

DeeLinquent · 29/06/2012 17:45

People who ,when asked if they need a bag by the shop assistant say stupid sarcastic things like "no il just juggle them" or one I had today "nae shit Sherlock"
I know it's annoying for u but being sarcastic and rude to me just means ur bread gets packed first.............under your 2 bottles of coke Grin mwahahaha

Fireandashes · 29/06/2012 17:45

Spooky, I started an almost identical thread on another forum yesterday!

Mine are: people who call where I live a town. It's a village. It has no mainstream shops save a Co-op. It has a junior school but no senior school. It has (pretty big clue, this one...) a village green. Yet still some colleagues refer to it as a town.

People who drive at 30 along the 60 stretch of road on my commute home. It is not a twisty narrow country road. It has white lines, shallow curves, two proper carriageways and everything. It also has a 60 mile per hour speed limit. Wake up and smell the national speed limit sign, morons.

People who adjust my office chair. It's set to my height, my lumbar support, my comfort. You've sat in it for five minutes while I'm away from my desk and think you can mess about with it to suit you, so I have to spend ages getting the settings just right again? Fuck off to the far side of fuck off.

Grown men who use the word 'bopping' for dancing. Just...don't.

The fact that since the local garage had a refurbishment and fitted a new price board, I can no longer see the price without going out of my way (used to be able to check it out on my way to work - price board is now hidden behind a road sign).

My DSD being seemingly unable to grasp the connection between her [erroneous] insistence she is a 34" inside leg (she's 5'4") and the bottoms of every single pair of trousers she possesses being frayed/ripped/dirty because they are too. Fucking. Long.

People who get irrationally het up at other people's FB status updates. Facebook is optional. You can control who you're friends with or whose updates you see. Stop fucking whinging about it as if someone is holding a gun to your head to log on to it.

And breeeeeeathe...

Birdsgottafly · 29/06/2012 17:46

Where i'm from it's "Ye", if you say or write yay, you deserve your head kicked in (and the subsequent meegraine).

HeadfirstForHalos · 29/06/2012 17:47

It is flapjack if you bake it as one thing. The traybake one's Tesco sell say Flapjack on the pack Grin

BeattieBow · 29/06/2012 17:48

People who say (in a shop/cafe) " can I get ...? " Instead of " please could I have ...?"

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 29/06/2012 17:50
Grin

I completely agree.

rustygusset · 29/06/2012 17:52

Mine is people who say "could of".

NationalAccidentHelpline · 29/06/2012 17:53

Sesame where exactly did I say these were my biggest problems? What a funny thing to say.

Mmmn flapjack...nom nom nom Smile

TheOneWithTheHair · 29/06/2012 17:54

People who say suffice it to say.

minipie · 29/06/2012 17:55

Somethink.

Haitch.

Exit pronounced Eggsit.

Banks/utility providers who CALL ME and then ask ME to provide security ID answers.

People who say that I will only know what colour clothes to buy for my unborn baby once I know what sex it is Hmm

People who don't read the thread title before posting (yup you sesameflower)

StarlightWithAsteroid · 29/06/2012 18:00

0208 instead of 020 8

Banks/post offices being closed on a Sunday. In fact Sunday trading altogether.

Registration forms.

Resident parking where there is plenty of space.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 29/06/2012 18:00

It's definitely flapjack. Saying flapjacks is like saying sheeps.

:)

People who say Asdas and Tescos. Grr.

NickNacks · 29/06/2012 18:06

I'm getting peed off with parents who don't collect their children on time and even when they are a few minutes early will not come on but will sit on the car until bang on 6pm!!!

NationalAccidentHelpline · 29/06/2012 18:14

Jareth, I may not like point 1, but I 100% agree with point 2. My mum does this to EVERY shop (Topshops, New Looks and - I kid you not - Mangos!)

Also

In films, where the pathetic weeping girl says to the big strong boy 'hold me...just....hold.me' Pass me the antiemetics.

Worse...people who say it in RL because they've heard it in TV and think it sounds good

That ad where the little underdog with the camp voice stands up to the big bad boss man

People who say 'sleep when the baby sleeps' like they invented this gem

People who say 'I've come on'

People who insist on pronouncing anything vaguely foreign with an accent. Oh well done you had quisssh-e lorrrehn for dinner. Better get yourself a nice bit oh struuuh-dlll for afters

People who say 'for afters' Grin

Flisspaps · 29/06/2012 18:16

Eyore.

It's Eeyore.

freddiefrog · 29/06/2012 18:16

Oh god, I could be here for hours Grin. The older I get the less tolerant I get.

Top of my 'things that fuck me off' list

The light switches at the bottom of the stairs not being lined up properly (ie, all switched in the same direction iyswim)

Paul McCartney

People driving 10/15 miles an hour below the speed limit (I averaged 27mph all the way home from work in a 50 limit today!)

People who use the words 'peeps' 'hunni' and similar

My local council

It changes daily, but Paul McCartney is a permanent fixture

Yama · 29/06/2012 18:18

People who say 'invite' instead of 'invitation'. There a fucking millions of those bastards.

Oh, and 110%.

Yama · 29/06/2012 18:19

are

AnyFuleKno · 29/06/2012 18:19

Meegraine is correct pronunciation doncherknow.

From 'demi cranium'

DreamingofSummer · 29/06/2012 18:21

Those who say "literally" when they shouldn't
