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

I'm not sure if that worked...

Love English tea rooms / tea shops. Used to love Cawardines and traditional coffee places.

Loathe American chain style 'coffee gone wrong' abominations - no soul. Do you want a decaff skinny ultra cappuccino with blah blah blah? cue coffee rage

No I would like a cup of coffee please.

Drivers who stop more than one car length from the car in front (at lights, jams, whatever) and then, and only then, move again to stand right behind that car. And then you are left with a car length space between your car and theirs.

WRONG!

Just bloody stop closer to the car in front in the first place? It's not that hard.

Frozen microwaveable roast dinner from farmfoods I suspect!

I don't rinse after brushing teeth and prepares to be flamed I brush my teeth and keep toothbrushing stuff in kitchen I don't want faecal matter etc on my toothbrush vom

I have tendencies towards this Grin I decided I was being utterly ridiculous as no-one had died from keeping a toothbrush in a bathroom and force myself to live by that. Grin

YES, absolutely. I can't stand clutch riders.

I'm going to blow this thread wide open by nominating people who feel it's perfectly acceptable to sleep on a bed with no Shelton the mattress ShockShockShock

They're the same type that will sleep with the duvet screwed up in one corner of the cover or with the cover opening up near their head end.. Filth!

My sister's friend sleeps on the floor wrapped up in an uncovered duvet. She calls it a nest...

Putting cheese on a baked potato before the beans. Do not understand that at all! This happened one lunchtime last week, so I commented to my dad about how wrong it felt, to which his response was 'it's got to be cheese before beans'...felt like I didn't even know who he was any more Shock

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 15/07/2015 00:14

Or deliberately melting the cheese on a jacket potato, that is also very wrong.

Yes I have OCD tendencies which relate to my general anxiety problem and mostly get unmanageable only at times of stress. OCD thoughts I have overcome have included terrible fears I will eat dog poo if I see it and that I will throw myself out of big windows or get shot if I don't hide from the line of sight provided by them... Very weird thing the OCD stuff...

Bra swiveller. Chucky eggs are medicinal. Double Tea bag + water, stir, extract tea bag, add sugar then milk. DH does this wrong, milk first, blergh. But when we first met, he suggested buying powdered milk, I nearly called it quits right there. Mind, he's never had eggy bread and bacon butties.

Shut the front door vis a vis strawberries + peanut butter though! And jam + Philadelphia! Win!

MadeMan · 15/07/2015 21:38

Going back to Lweji's point about drivers; I'd like to make another one.

Drivers who indicate to make a turn; after they have actually started turning! Wrong! Don't wait until you're halfway round the corner before letting everyone know where you're going.

Lweji · 15/07/2015 21:46

I could go on and on about drivers...

WHO PUTS MILK IN EARL GREY? WHO?

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 15/07/2015 22:53

I was offered a cup of Earl Grey once at someone's house, they put milk in (it never occurred to me to ask for it without as it had never occurred to me that anyone would put it in). I had to force it down, it was absolutely awful.
