I'll start this off:

The mom outside school today who said to her 3-year old: "Move it! Fuckin' hell, why are you so slow!"

Skinny jeans on men.

He borrowed me a set of spanners.

I'm taking them back tomorrow

People who write ‘ect’ instead of ‘etc’.

People who never put commas or full stops in their long posts, and a paragraph turns into one massive sentence.

Men with long nails.

I went to a school where one could be beaten simply for referring to oneself as "one".

KoalaD · 19/10/2017 01:19

Local kids saying 'math' instead of 'maths', and 'butt' (with a drawn-out u) instead of 'bum'.

There is nothing wrong with Americans, but you are not one. Stop it.

I've spent a long time trying to work out how people are pronouncing drawers differently to how I do and it's just occurred to me that maybe they don't. Maybe it'd draws that's different. I pronounce it to rhyme with oars. Maybe it's supposed to rhyme with hoes?

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 19/10/2017 01:21

Managed to stop thinking about drawers long enough to go back to the original OP. I hate X number of sleeps 'til...
No, just no.

Juliet Lewis. I don't know why...

treaclesoda · 19/10/2017 01:24

I can definitely hear the r in that pronunciation of drawers linked to.

And in my accent, draws sounds completely different.

I spent years being baffled as to why Julia Donaldson mostly writes in rhyme but then has these big clunking non rhyming bits in her books, until someone on mumsnet explained about rhotic and non rhotic accents and it became clear.

I get a special rage for primary school books that have questions about homophones that are accent specific. Flaw and floor are not homophones to a significant section of the UK population, so why use them as an example?

EastMeetsWestBay · 19/10/2017 01:31

‘Sat’ when it should be ‘sitting’. As in ‘I was sat on the chair...’. NO. Unless someone picked you up and plonked you on the chair you were SITTING on the chair.

Grin**

this made me laugh I’m guilty as charged of doing this**

Surely draws and wars rhyme

No they don’t, at all! *

People who say "draw-ers". It's written that way, but it's pronounced "draws"

Why? You’ve missed out two letters e and r! They are too different pronunciations with two different meanings. Hmm

Don’t get me started on people to spell it’s draws. Wink

FuckFaulkerILikeTheGruffalo · 19/10/2017 02:41

People who term females over the age of 18 as 'girl'.
People who term females over the age of 10 as 'young girl'.

E.g. "A young girl like you...." I'm fucking 25!

I've also just realised how weird the word 'girl' is full stop. Must seem very strange when you're learning English as a second language.

Comedyboobs · 19/10/2017 03:15

People who say 'off of'

Knife lickers

Comedyboobs · 19/10/2017 03:34

Wars, draws, claws, shores all rhyme.....
Maybe its an accent thing?

Hmmm. Yes. Noisy eaters 😡

Pretentious pouting and posing for photographs

People farting

People saying “off of”

To me draws & drawers rhyme as “drors” (from t’north)

qwertyberty · 19/10/2017 04:48

Skinny jeans on men as you can see their package that is all squished. Grin

Clothes that are too small for the people that are wearing them.

People in the gym wearing hoodies, with the hood up and those who wear their outdoor jackets to workout in. They look like flipping idiots.

I hate the words: awesome, cool, coolio, wicked, chillax and chillaxing.
Also words out of context. Me: I managed to walk to town. Friend: Wicked. What is bad about walking to town?

qwertyberty · 19/10/2017 04:53

abbreviations like on mumsnet. It takes me awhile to work out what the poster is talking about. If a post has too many abbreviations in it, I give up reading the post.

Orangewater33 · 19/10/2017 04:57

PEOple that think because I have a Facebook page for my business that I should respond at any hour of the day or night and get passive aggressively pissed off when they don't get a lengthy convo at midnight on Sunday about their 'idea'. Or no response while I'm physically working.
In general people's utter lack of patience because THEY have time on their hands and don't comprehend that the world doesn't revolve around them.

People who countdown in "sleeps" rather than days.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 19/10/2017 05:27

'I'm marmite me... :... Nope! I really don't like you, just for using this phrase!

People using blue badge spaces illegally /when they don't need to.... No your 7 yr old child being lazy, as there are no parent and child spaces left, does not trump my ability to access the supermarket...

People who use 'myself' in the place of 'me'..no it doesn't sound more formal... It soubds stupid!

People (who often I don't know) hunning me or putting kisses at end of mails when you're not a friend or 6 yr old!

People who talk through films.. Just leave if you're bored.
People who use: I was like walking in the road... Greee

Anyone who is 110%...or who nails it...

Grr... I'm actually quite placid irlGrin
