Grown adults who count down to events in ''sleeps''. It winds me right up. My SIL insists on doing this on a regular basis. She is 42 years old.

AAARRRGGHH. It's so twee and annoying. Anyone over the age of 15 who does this in public ought to be the first up against the wall come The Revolution!

*Disclaimer: I know this is not an important issue, just wondered if anyone else finds it irritating? I know IABU. Grin

One of my relatives uses constant irritating baby talk eg. I sneeze.She responds "ooh is there a tickle in your snozz?" Instead of brushing her teeth she "cleans my toothypegs". She also calls me mummy instead of my name, and speaks through DD to me: " ooh, do you have any peggywegs yet? You got fuzzywuzz I see" I refuse to reply and she eventually says "hmmm?" to show I was expected to answer, I usually flatly answer correcting the baby speak: "no, she hasn't got any teeth yet, but yes, her hair has grown" but I do worry I'm going to snap and scream at her to stop it as I'm thirty fucking two arrrgh!

Adults who refer to 'sleeps' as a way of counting the days also keep lots of stuffed toys on their bed. It's the law.

Haha that baby talking - picturing it being said with my sisters overly squeaky child talk voice which irritates the shit out of me.
EspeciLly when she forgets herself and talks like that when no children are present!
