Afew years ago DH,normally very sensible, came home from work with some shopping which he had apparently bought from 'Sainsgurgles' Shock
He was then in his sixties but had been mentoring 'younguns'.
Anyway, the maras deathstare soon sorted that out Smile.

Does she say 'peeps' too?
That's the one that makes me (most) murderous.

I'm ashamed to admit that I dated a guy who wouldn't quietly excuse himself to go to the washroom but would declare dramatically, "I must go north!".

He also referred to his dick as "Shakey" and spoke of it in the third person. Hearing "Shakey wants to... " in the heat of the moment was not an aphrodisiac, let me tell you.

Abbreviations, they are just too, too much. "Lippy" is awful and "tech" or "techy" are prone to send me into a rage. I recently had someone say to me that I "liked my tech", and later that theirs is "a very techy family". It was a hard struggle not to stamp on their toes.

Today at work I referred to cancellations as ‘cans’ - I was rightly flamed by my colleagues 😳 I hate ‘amazeballs’ ‘me thinks’ ‘the hubster’ ‘Famalam’ and ‘last past’ - pick one or the other for fucks sake, there is no acceptable reason to use both in the same sentence arrgghhhh

Ooh. I see your 'fanx' and raise you 'fanxy fanx :]' as sent to me by a crew VIA THEIR EMERGENCY VEHICLE SCREEN when I said they could go to the shop on their way back.

Ooooh, choccie! That’s the one which drives me mad, add it to biccie and I have to walk away. Also get grumpy about ‘mash potatoes’. They are mashed! Mash as an abbreviation for the complete dish is fine but not to describe the process that HAS BEEN DONE to said potatoes! breathes.

Lappy would finish me off, I think puter is bad enough.

Does she call a cup of tea "a cuppy"? Someone I know does this, little do they realise they risk death by drowning in an urn of boiling Assam every time.

And as for the guy with a herd of five or six small yappy dogs, all with human names, his "children", which he has to tell us of the workings of their innards daily.....

I know someone who says tatchoo for thank you.

I either know this person too or there are two of them Shock
It's said in a teeny little girly voice by this hippogorillapig who's at least 20 stone and has a face like a bag of spanners. I want to whack her in the face with a large plank of wood. With nails in. Angry

A woman in my office who rarely bothers to talk to the rest of the team at the best of times about work, tells us on frequent occasions what her dog has said. Yes, 'what her dog has said'. In a made up voice too, which apparently is 'how her dog talks'. There are also voices for her cats. They all have different accents, and we have all come to recognise which is which without her prefacing the conversation with a 'Xxxx said...'. 'Irritating' is not the word for it, I can tell you....

I know someone who says tatchoo for thank you. They don't have speech production difficulties and they are not 4.

Queen excellent news. I will try working on the poisoned post it notes plan and hopefully find a slow build up poison which is either undetectable or resembles reactions to natural oil overdose.

also, I went for an interview for a new job. If I get it I can nick the post-its from the supply at this current job before I leave.

p.s. I have an exceptionally good innocent face.

Oh god, can I add the awful 'veggies' to this list? I really hate it but know it's irrational. Can't stand 'Hubby' either, or the ghastly 'Hun.'

These are the very same people who, when asked if they’d like sugar in their tea, say “no thank you! I’m sweet enough already!”

I meant it would be less suspicious than paper cuts or mummification as she works with these oils too so could be perceived as an adverse reaction

Soup - I like the cut of your jib - I work with natural oils and chemicals some of which are toxic so the death by poisoned post its could be an option as it would throw less suspicion my way.
In case of a police investigation can you practice your totally innocent face Confused.

One of our old university friends used to add ‘idge’ to the end of things.
So instead of saying ‘fancy a pint?’, he’d say, ‘Cheeky pintage?’

He still does it sometimes and DH does it when he’s with him Angry
