No no no no no

[WoofWoofMooWoof]

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.

Que for queue makes me laugh. It's as if Manuel from Fawlty Towers turned up all uncomprehending about the idea of standing in line. 'The que??? The que??? Que?'

People abbreviating Christmas to Crimble or Xmas (pronounced as ex-mas)

Using 'lay' instead of 'lie'. 'She was laying on the bed' - no she wasn't; not unless she was a hen.

Calling your son 'little man'. Yeuch.

And loads of the earlier examples. I'm becoming a Grumpy Old Woman.

People who say Tescos.
It’s just Tesco!!!

Annoys me even more when they say it over the tannoy IN Tesco!

I think I say tescos. Never really thought much about it, but I'm pretty sure I do. I am unrepentant . Asda is definitely singular though

Choritzo. No, it's pronounced choritho.

Or worse still, "chester draws" which I have seen many times!

Noisy crisp eating. Urghhhh. Close that month when you crunch.
In fact noisy eating generally. And rolling the tongue out to pull food in. Amazing how many people do this.

Pronouncing jalapeno with a 'j'.

Writing 'on route' instead on 'en'.

Writing 'could/should/would OF instead of have.

Messing with our pronunciation of mayor when we say it right! (From old french - maire.) 😃👍

Mastication sounds. Stop it.

Bloggers who write ridiculous diatribes about parenting things- one whizzing around on Facebook about how this mum had twins and 'chose the easy option' followed by a massive post about the aftermath of her ELCS - presumably to educate us numbskulls about how it's not really the easy option yada yada..... Except who fucking reads this drivel? The people who know it know it anyway, and the people who spout the 'easy option' rubbish a) aren't gonna read your stupid blog, and b) aren't going to change if they do anyway.
And some cool, I'm so freaking normal it's totally zany mum-blogger is writing these things about everything, breastfeeding, not breastfeeding, using p&c spaces, dressing boys in girls clothes.... You name it. I don't disagree with the sentiment, I disagree with the saturation of every corner of the Internet with these pseudo-profound parenting manuals. And it's even more annoying when my friends like them because it makes me realise I might well be the only person who finds them so intensely irritating....

NoKidsTwoCats Yes, yes, yes!! People who say myself. They do it all the time on The Apprentice. People getting on the tube before you get off

Expresso!! This.

And "insightful" parenting blogs yes!Z

Those vile FB videos of monstrous boils being popped 🤢

Attention-seeking cunts on FB who “check in” at hospital. Ditto those who tease drama, and when their stupid mates ask “what’s wrong Hun?” “Hope you’re ok Hun?” And the OP comes back with “I’ll inbox you” or “I can’t say on here” - Well, shut up posting it to hundreds of “friends” then?

Gravy

Mashed potato

People who say sand-wiches.

Its sandwiches ffs!!!

Balloon releases, and those other things, Sky candles? Stop it! Dead people don't care and you're endangering wildlife. Selfish...

Flip flops on men. Hairy toes poking out. Bleuuurrrgh!

Placemarking on a thread, now I have to scroll through pages to find the update.

Technically when talking about how a word should be pronounced in English, only someone with an RP is completely correct. The pronunciation guides in dictionaries (like Oxford) are based on how someone with received pronunciation would say it. Any experts on language here feel free to correct me if that is not current :)

That's not to say regional accents are wrong, they aren't. Often sound better than RP in my opinion. However if it is the "correct" way to pronounce a word in English you are arguing about, ask a posh person how they say it. ;)

Estate / letting agents with signs saying "accomodation" instead of "accommodation"

Word tattooes, you have to ask people to stand still while you figure out what they say. Tattoos are meant to be pictures/illustrations.

People who half park on the pavement but don't leave room for buggies or wheelchairs forcing you into your own busy road with small children in tow to go round their car parked right outside your house!

Calling trousers slacks.

People who say 'myself' when 'me' would suffice eg 'come and speak to myself'

Yes this!! Except ‘me’ wouldn’t just suffice. ‘Me’ is correct and ‘myself’ isn’t. Myself is very rarely the correct word but I hear it all day everyday and it drives me nuts! I don’t know why it’s suddenly a thing because ‘me’ is the shorter version and 9/10 times the correct version!

Like man buns, but hate scraggy ponytails on men with receding hairlines.

Della1, I hate most men's feet (and quite a lot of women's). And toe rings on ugly feet. Why draw attention to them?
