trivial things that fuck me right off

[NationalAccidentHelpline]

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)

Oh yes, WishI, "veggies" is vom-inducing. "Vegies" might be even worse. Especially when the mummies are talking about ways to "sneak veggies" into their "little ones".

Oh I'm right with you on the meegraine thing.
Also people who say they've got a "caw-eld" as if to emphasise that they're so poo-er-ly that they can't even pronounce it undramatically. This has fucked me off since I was about 10 but nobody ever knows where I'm coming from

Precisely, it's punctuation where it's needed and it's missing!

Morning/ill voice. Stop being a dick, all you need to do is clear your throat, what are you speaking like that for? Sympathy? Because you had to get up? Sorry about that!!

My children ignoring me when I'm speaking to them because they have their face in the tv/phone/ds/xbox. I shall cut off the plug, I tell you!

DP trying to get attention when I'm trying to read my Kindle in bed. Is it not obvious that I'm READING? Why is paying attention to you more important than me reading my book?

Told you I'd be here all night.....

Anyone who says "scone" to rhyme with "cone" or "bone".

But that's down to region/class, rather than stupidity.

Me quoting mumsnet threads to DH. It annoys him, and it annoys me, but I CAN'T STOP IT!!

Up this way, some people say 'exzeema' instead of eczema. It really really pisses me off.

As well as 'reach' instead of 'retch', if someone is being sick/gagging.

It's fucking we'll pronounced MYGRAINE.

Ps totally agree with everything you posted OP.

You you're

There their they're

My boss emailing to ask me to 'please call' you could have called me during the time it took to fucking type that email.

People riding bikes/horses side by side on the road as if it's a shock to see a car that might want to get past

Chris tarrant

People that start a sentence 'I'm not being funny but..... ' No you're not

Oh yes Loup23, I agree with your last. Also, 'no disrespect, but...' (and then they invariably say something disrespectful).

The dog that's been barking for the last 4 hours. Continuously. As it does every night
FFS can you not hear it?!
And why have a sodding dog if you leave it in the garden to bark all bloody evening. If I knew exactly which house it was at I would ring the RSPCA because it distresses me listening to it let alone how the dog must feel

People who say LOL

People who crowd me in a queue (and people who drive up my arse) - doesn't make it move any quicker does it?

Chatting in supermarket aisles when their trolleys block the aisle. Not standing here for the good of my health you know, trying to do some shopping!

With the dog: try screeching SHUT UP! :at it, over and over. Eventually the owners will make a complaint and keep their own mutt quiet

People who moan

With all due respect...
Don't take this personally, but....
Personally, I...
Tomoz
Anyone calling me mum or mummy except my own kids

Most people. Though some are nice, occasionally.

They fuck me right off.

They're the reasons that I agree with all of the above posts.....because people cause them.

People moaning about pronouncing "could have" like "could of" - I studied linguistics and we studied this as an acceptable variation. It's totally normal to have unstressed syllables in English like that.

Disorganised people who impact on others eg my scatty boss making us sit through a 2 hour meeting when she has no idea what she actually wants the meeting to be about and just goes on and on about stuff then changes the subject every 2 minutes. So annoying.

People who whistle or hum within my hearing.
People who don't raise their hand in a 'thanks' gesture but just rudely drive past when I have courteously pulled in to let them pass (narrow country lanes round here).
People who stand to close to me in a queue. I hate feeling their breath on the back of my neck.
Women who eat something then immediately go on about how naughty they are and how they are on a new diet blah blah.
People who feel compelled to dominate conversations.
Just people really. All of them.

Agree with you on all of those, Selks. Rather feel I might talk too much though sheer nerves I'm afraid.

I HATE people making a noise. My partner does this thing constantly where he catches his breath, holds it then breathes out really heavily. It makes me want to kill him.

Saying 'could've' is perfectly reasonable.

Writing 'could of' isn't.

1. Any Daily Mail article referring to a woman who is described as being 'leggy' (has legs?) or 'ready to burst' (heavily pregnant).
2. The person who invented the 'rear of the year' competition. (hence loads of pictures of Carol Vorderman).
3. People who make a little signature motion in the air when asking for the bill in a restaurant.
4. Anyone who uses the word 'totes'. (yes heat magazine - exactly the reason I no longer read you)
5. People who copycat sneeze/cough in the movies/theatre after one person has done it.

These types of threads are always my favourite. Totes mint
...anyway

Agree with "loose". Do people not read what they have posted? Lose is quicker to type anyway.

I have to add Yum and Yummy. There are some good threads on here, that I can't read because posters will say things like "strawberry trifle? yummy" Arrrggghh

Another, that I don't think has been mentioned is stunning - or should I say "stunnin'" When this relates to babies and children it really grinds my gears.

And finally, DD and I now use Totes Amazeballs all the time, because we think it's funny

I forgot to say that I get totally fucked off at people who "adore" people or things. Yes, we get it, you like them/it

Oh no, I make a little air signature when I want the bill! Didn't realise I was being judged...
