Hmm.
Cakes for all on Monday for some spurioys reason? Doctor hers with powerful laxitives and do some extra cake decorating stuff to make them 'speshsul' (they always love 'speshul'). This will make hers identifiable.

Sit back and look forward to several days' peace.

It would be appropriate to bludgeon such people to death, using the biggest and heaviest dictionary you could find.

Hospikal instead of hospital, likkle instead of little are the two that give me rage (obviously said by adults in a "likkle" voice)
Why??????

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

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.

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

That really is the final straw. OP, you'd be doing the world a favour.

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!”

Fuckity fuckers.

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.'

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.

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 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

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.....

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.
