‘She’s had a baby boy’

‘We’re having a baby girl’

Why the need to add the word ‘baby’? I’m pretty sure no one gives birth to a fully grown adult.

I buy the 1kg tubs of natural onken yogurt. The lid always has a thick layer of very thick yogurt stuck to it. I hate having to carefully scrape it off the lid and reincorporate it into the rest of the yogurt and God forbid I miss a dryish thick lump and get it in my mouth.

DH thinks I'm nuts. He likes the overly thick stuff, the sick bugger.

Grown women talking in little girl voices and exaggerating how delicate they are ie "oh, teehee, could you imagine little old me driving that big van", "oh look how big that x is, it's almost the size of me" and other such nonsense.

My very lovely and capable colleague does it whenever there is a remotely attractive male about and it drives me bonkers. She genuinely doesn't know she's doing it.

On the other side, the male contingent at work are falling over themselves to do things for her so.... maybe not so daft?

People using words or phrases they obviously don't understand: "livid" to mean angry, "passive-aggressive" to mean snide; "sexual predator" to mean a woman who makes the first move; and "pristine" to mean really clean.
Oh, and "travesty" to mean injustice!

The phrase "little one" especially written on MN as LO (pronounced "low" in my head)

People who say myself instead of me or I which seems to be the new trend.

People who talk with food in their mouths. It's vile. It makes me want to heave looking at chewed up food while I'm also eating.

Cold drinks that are tepid.
Mouth breathing.
That disgusting noise when people gather phlegm.

When people eat with their mouths open.

DH leaves the peely bit on top of the spreadable butter when he opens a new one. Just peels the corner back, uses it and then puts it back again afterwards. FFS TAKE IT OFF AND THROW IT AWAY, MAN!

When people miss the 's for possession (not just the apostrophe but the s too). Why?! Surely you pronounce the s?

Yous instead of you. You can be plural, the s is not needed!

People who say 'of' when they mean 'have'. AngryAngryAngry

Recruiters that want me to fill in a badly formatted application form which only ask for the same info as my cv. I spent hours on my cv stop making me cut and paste it into your stupid application! Even if you have a couple of specific question just ask them in addition to cv. Surely it makes for a super quick filter if people haven’t read that ad properly. I have filled out approx 3 billion in my life. Never once seen anything remotely unusual. Drives me potty.

To add to the complaint about people saying yous it drives me crazy when people say mines. As in "Mines doesn't work that way" instead of "Mine doesn't work that way". My colleague got a first in English Literature and still used this!
