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)

In the West Coast of Scotland some people say the letter J to rhyme with 'die'.

Kaloobear · 29/06/2012 18:22

People who say 'of' when they mean 'have'. It's like nails down a blackboard...

Petsinmypudenda · 29/06/2012 18:24

People who phone me on their landlines then answer their mobile during our conversation so i am sat listening to her side of a conversation with her Mother in law

Yes little sister i'm looking at you

shockers · 29/06/2012 18:28

I think most of the posts on this this thread have been written by my DH Grin.

lifesrichpageant · 29/06/2012 18:28

"10am in the morning", "9pm at night"

Agggggggghhhhhg

rainydaysarebad · 29/06/2012 18:30

I hate people who say "stab stab stab" or "stabby".

ChairOfTheBored · 29/06/2012 18:33

Almost everything everyone else has written above.

Can I also add 'very unique'. Nothing more likely to induce migraine inducing rant...

Flisspaps · 29/06/2012 18:33

Pets just put the phone down!

Petsinmypudenda · 29/06/2012 18:34

I did, she rung back 'gosh we got cut off' so I hung up againGrin

freddiefrog · 29/06/2012 18:34

Oh, and anyone over the age of about 10 using the word 'yummy', specifically grown women when referring to Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, whoever they're drooling over

NationalAccidentHelpline · 29/06/2012 18:34

people who say they couldn't get together with their mate as it would be 'like kissing my brother' NO IT FUCKING WOULDN'T

Oh I want to start another thread now, people who say stuff as they've heard it in a film and think it sounds well good. As already stated 'hold me' and also

Touche!
You complete me
I just need closure
Follow your heart!
You are my rock

People who write 'A' when they mean 'I.' For example, 'A went to the shops and a can't believe what a saw!'

FFS, it's not as if it's any quicker to write 'A' !!!

Grown ups who say 'lickle' and are not joking around! To be fair, I think it is a regional dialect thing, but to me it just sounds daft!

MammaTJ · 29/06/2012 18:35

My first sign that I was turning into an old grump came at 17 when I started a Y.T.S and people kept calling it a Y.T.S. Scheme! So what's that, a youth training scheme scheme then?

The people ringing me then asking for my security details is so annoying and worrying. I give one, then tell them they rang me, so they have to give me some! It could be anyone.

People who ring the landline, find it is engaged, so ring the mobile!! I am on the fucking landline moron!!

Numpties who pay to stay at the local well known holiday camp, then think they own the town, making it a no go area in summer for the locals!

Loads more..............

InMySpareTime · 29/06/2012 18:36

People wearing odd socks.

People who let their teeth touch the cutlery as they take a mouthful.

People who turn up late then act like it doesn't matter (it does to meAngry)

People who turn up at nursery at 10 minutes before closing then sit in their cars on the phone waiting until after closing time, then act like it's no big deal.

Just people really.

cocolepew · 29/06/2012 18:38

teenagers are the main culprits of this, saying actually or literally in every sentence.

Like literally.

And my brother who says 'like' at the end of sentences. Sometimes with a questionmark.

NationalAccidentHelpline · 29/06/2012 18:38

Freddiefrog there was an ad for Cheerios, I think, a few years back with fake vox pops on women. One very serious looking mum, looking busy and harassed, turns to camera all po-faced and just says 'frankly I think they're yummy'.

Stab stab and (this one's for you Rainy!) STAAAAB!

Writing lol or tonite instead of tonight - its putting me right off an otherwise very dishy man!

Parents who don't write a thank you card or even send a text when I bother myself to take dd to yet another soft play party and buy a gift.

Everything about my exp Wink

My name being mispronounced - it isn't that unusual!

Casualty being cancelled due to sport!!! Angry

THe can I getting does my head right in. It's may I ffs

ChairOfTheBored · 29/06/2012 18:39

MammaTJ has reminded me of another; those who say PIN Number - what the jeff do you think the 'N' stands for?!

Scarredbutnotbroken · 29/06/2012 18:40

I forgot. Nomming is the most offensive stupid expression EVA!! He he

SaltResistantSlug · 29/06/2012 18:42

People who pronounce "properly" PROPly and "broccoli" BROCKly.

cocolepew · 29/06/2012 18:42

I never wear matching socks Grin.

People who stick their tongue out when eating from a fork, yes you DD1.

My mums is people who say floor instead of ground.

Kittenkatzen · 29/06/2012 18:43

"patently" instead of "blatantly" AngryAngry yes I know technically there's nothing wrong with it, but blatant = obvious. A patent is what you get when you've invented something

People who read your emails over your shoulder whilst having a conversation at work

People who comment on what you're eating for lunch

Complete strangers calling you hun/hunni etc

The fact that Starbucks ask for my name, get it completely wrong on the cup, and then call out my drink at the end anyway

And don't even get me started on the topic of commuting......AngryGrin

fullofregrets · 29/06/2012 18:44

People that write fact after a statement they've made. Especially if they do it in capitals.

They are the most annoying. FACT.

cocolepew · 29/06/2012 18:45

oo-er I never knew that chairofthebored Blush.

I hate it when people say secatary. I think it should be sec-re-tary. People tell me that's wrong but I refuse to listen.

SandyBottoms · 29/06/2012 18:48

Using O instead of zero. It's a number not a letter!
