People who are doing it WRONG

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Anyone else who is doing it ALL WRONG? Offload here Brew

Job? Stupid tablet! On the hob! The hob!

Erm, I think Gently was correcting her own typo -- not generating a whole new argument about how to pronounce Chicago!

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 03/07/2015 16:49

It was an unintentional typo - honest. Wasn't trying a new 'scone' argument (and I do prononce it Chicargo, hence a naughty spelling phonetically in the other post).

This is WRONG! My sister puts on her shoes, then puts her jeans on over the top, illogical, and she is putting her dirty shoes through the legs of her clean trousers! She is a monster!!! :)

MadeMan · 03/07/2015 17:47

Could be wronger; she could be putting on her shoes and then her socks over the top.

MadeMan · 03/07/2015 17:49

Mind you, putting your dog mess shoes through the inside of your skinny jeans is fairly wrong I suppose.

DeathStar · 03/07/2015 18:03

Junior never tucks her jeans pockets in and leaves them hanging right out like frayed puppy ears. Yet she hates seeing boys who never pull their trousers up properly at all. She says "It's not fashion, they're just lazy!"

Can't convince her that walking around with her pockets flapping and shedding threads and tumble-dryer fluff is the same 'lazy' thing.

As for me, I love chocolate, but hate Nutella. Whoever thought chocolate needed to be improved by adding gagballs nut flavours to it wasn't firing on all cylinders. But do I give away the pralines in a selection box? No. I just eat the horridest ones first...

Speaking of Nutella - Americans who pronounce it 'Newtella' - I think chocolate with added newts might be worse than gagballs hazelnuts, but I'm not willing to try it and find out :) xx

My DH ( I can hardly type this) toasts scones!!!!

mousmous · 03/07/2015 18:21

vinegar on chips is WRONG they go all soggy, surely?

mousmous · 03/07/2015 18:22

chicago= with sh like shit at the beginning

People who insist on splitting a restaurant bill evenly when you are on a budget and have ordered and consumed only what you can afford and informed everybody before hand that you can only come if you are able to do this.

People who want to order food to share...

People who help themselves to your food without asking... Bloody chip stealers...

People who pretend they have put in the money for their food when they haven't.

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:43

Chips without vinegar are wrong and they only get soggy if you put too much on.

MrsHathaway · 03/07/2015 18:44

People who pretend they have put in the money for their food when they haven't.

First up against the wall. Bastards.

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:45

Southern accents... They are wrong. It is bath not barth...

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/07/2015 18:46

We don't say barth,we sat baaaahth. Completely different Grin

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:47

People who put things in the fridge without covering them.

BF laughs at me getting incensed about this when we watch come dine with me. He also puts things in my fridge uncovered and laughs when I follow him around with bags/cling film.

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:47

Still wrong dame. Fact.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 03/07/2015 18:48

Ooh digestive biscuits with butter and jam, yummy!

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 03/07/2015 18:50

It's bath, not baaaath (or baaaafff like my southern partner says).

It's: I'll have haff a glas in the bath by the gras - not I'll have haalf a glaaass in the baaaath by the graaaass

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:50

People who reheat things till they are eating temperature rather than heating them up to kill bacteria then cooling them down to eating temperature.

Also people who have dishcloths and don't soak them in bleach after/before every use.

People who don't use bleach cleaner in the bathroom.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 03/07/2015 18:52

Oh and, my dear West Midlands friends, it's Tooth - not Tuff AngryGrin.

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:52

Oh and one from AT wine is wine not 'mummy juice'... Just fuck off with that one!

Offred · 03/07/2015 18:58

And people like gralick who properly understand grammar... Envy

MadeMan · 03/07/2015 19:19

"not I'll have haalf a glaaass in the baaaath by the graaaass"

Yeah it's definitely not that. You left the 'h' on have; should be 'ave.

motleyalice · 03/07/2015 19:38

Um, I just read out the email round-up of the thread to my husband. He gagged at the idea of butter & marmalade on Weetabix. I have had to admit that I have been guilty of a similar crime - tho without the marmalade. He is rather disgusted and making noises about hiding the Weetabix he purchased in all innocence today...
