Pet hates

[Bishopston]

Another thread mad me think of this - but girly social media stuff namely:

((((((Hugs))))))))

And it's ilk!!!! Basically the false intimacy reflected in fb and the like!

People who don't know that you put the fork on the left and the knife on the right

Unless you are left-handed or mixed-up, as in my mum's case. She writes with her right hand, but holds her knife in her left hand.

ohitsyou Hashtags are terms that people would want to find their post from. So, for example, if McDonalds were doing their monopoly promotion, they might tweet "This #Friday, you could #win with #monopoly"

So if someone on Twitter entered the search term Friday, Win or Monopoly, their tweet would show up. I hope I've explained that sensibly

Unless you are left-handed or mixed-up, as in my mum's case. She writes with her right hand, but holds her knife in her left hand.

I'm the same. I think the other poster was talking about laying a table though - I do lay it the right-handed-eating way unless I know a left-handed-eating person is going to sit there.

I am not in the least mixed up. Forks go in the right hand and knives in the left. I lay the table to suit my family. We all eat this way.

We are not left handed. Just superior.

Yes what the actual fuck is a hashtag.

Soduthen I tried to explain this, please let me know if you need further clarification.

when you talk about a serious womens issue, and people IMMEDIATELY start talking about a less serious mens one. Like you cant talk about FGM without people immediately talking about circumcision, as if its even the same ballpark

PLEASE
'It's' means 'it-is' ONLY - nothing else.
It. Just. Isn't. Hard.

What about 'it has'...?

Also irritates me when people say something always happens when they mean often... and something never happens when they mean rarely...!
slightly stupid getting ratty about something so small! but it BUUUUUUGs me!
Same goes for 'that was absolutely perfect' or absolutely other stuff. I mean, do you know what absolute means!?!? So silly & gushy & mindless...

Sorry iHave, it just annoys me, I can't help it. I would never be so rude as to even challenge any one on crutch use, just in my head it makes me mad.
As far as the 't' dropping thing goes, quite a lot of Scottish accents don't say the 't' and depending on the word drop the 'h' too. Quite a lot of very well educated people in my family speak like this - its a combination of not having English as a first language and our local accent.

oh yeah! (small embarrassed voice)

I think officially speaking, 'it's' is 'it is'.
Unofficially speaking it can be 'it has' too
ha ha aren't I stupid!

I am left handed.
Its how you lay a table. Had to supervise some people laying out place settings at a formal event. I even drew a bloody picture for them. Half of them were still wrong!!

Double parking

I'm currently blocked in my own street by bloody work vans!

Another one from me...people who share lost cat/dog/people/Things On Facebook without checking to see if said items have actually been found yet.

I'm left handed and it makes me want to scream inside when people eat with their fork in their right hand and knife in their left.

It is wrong. And nothing to do with which hand you use to write with. Lots of left handers in my family, all eat the usual way.

People who put bows in babies when they have no hair (they really don't give a shit if you think they're boys).
Men who sit with their legs so far apart on public transport you could drive a bus through them (yep we get it you have a huge dick).
Anyone who wears trousers that are too short, no I don't want to see your white socks thankyou.
People who don't let others off the train before they try to get on.
People who have to be the first on public transport and follow the bloody doors as the train pulls in (complete dicks).
People who don't know the difference between stationary and stationery (that's probably me being an arse).
People who don't pick poop up after their dogs (filthy shits).
Cold callers (ppi or my non existent accident).
I could go on forever, think I need to calm down!!! ??

People who commute on London. Seriously, no one is in that much of a hurry that they need to push me over to get on a train. Get up ten minutes earlier.

In London ^

lolimax we had dipshits in our area sharing pictures of a missing pensioner a year after his body had been found. Idiots. Look at the fucking date and/or Google before just blithely hitting 'share' and feeling smug because you've performed and important task for your community

Ooh ooh ooh. Men on the tube letting the women around them on first but ignoring the women behind them thus disrupting the horde and not really being gallant at all. Just keep your own place. Ditto men who are gallant with young women but not older ones (big red flag).

Final attack on men - those guys who check themselves out for ages in the work lift. One quick look will suffice.

Are there people out there who genuinely care what hand someone else holds their fork in?!?!

British publications writing "Paris, France". We are not in America, people probably won't automatically think you're talking about Paris, Texas. Same for any international city everyone knows.

People who say 'I've actioned that email' when what they mean is 'i've done what you asked in that email'.
