What things irrationally wind the hell out of you?

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

I HATE listening to the BBC news in the morning, when the news readers say "its is EXACTLY half past six" because I always end up shouting "IT IS NOT!!" because it surely can never be EXACTLY unless they string out the sixxxxxx until it is exactly that time.

I get annoyed when people talk about the coins and say that the Queen is on the FRONT of the coin, she is on the back. Because if you were looking at all the pictures of all the coins, you'd put the Queen down to see the pics, therefore she is the back of the coin. And its only "heads and tails" because its a picture of her head.

When I'm really stroppy, I get annoyed at the Kool Kids sign near my house. If they wanted to use alliteration, use Cool Children, surely?!

So... what gets your goat for no reason

Bettaware catalogues...I don't want them and I don't want to have to remember to put them back out on my doorstep to be "collected Thursday". Thank you.

Eating tea - for crying out loud, you do not EAT tea, you DRINK it!
You eat your dinner.

No rollmops, you eat your supper surely?

Whats' the difference between dinner and supper? We got invited round to supper the other evening and were given, what we would call, dinner. Are they the same then?

MadamDeathStare. Oops, I think that's me. Suffer v. bad flatulence on planes

tea bags in the sink

That Iggy Pop advert

Dunno. I was always told off for saying dinner or tea for the evening meal. We had to call it supper and it has stuck with me. There are some people who call supper a later snack before bed but for me it always meant the main evening meal.

Kleeneze stuff is sooo shite though. I no longer feel I should order anything out of generosity. Last time I got a pumice toilet cleaner on a wooden stick, that as soon as you put it in the toilet to clean off the limescale, it got wet and fell off the stick.

Jolly good. That's 2.99 I'll never have back.

Kaytee Good question. Middle class people eat supper I think

Breakfast - first meal of the day
Lunch - around midday ish
Dinner - evening meal, around 5-6pm.
Supper - post dinner snack/light meal for the greedy people before bed (usually weetabix with hot milk in our house as a child, cheese and biscuits as an adult for us ).

That very American voice they use to advertise new American films.

'Thu Saaaanctuuuuuuuuuuareeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy'

It's fucking ludicrous, and gets more so by the month.

The strange whispery-voiced woman on commercial radio stations such as X-Fm

Bugger. Outed myself as firmly middle class.

Goog thread!

The sound od people eating makes me want to tear my skin off. Pretty much everything in life annoys me at the moment but this is all I can think of right now.

Oh, hang on, here's another:

people who want to get married in church but bitch about actually having to attend a few times beforehand. Am not a christian but it narks me.

I get nightmares if I eat cheese before bed

Blame. Don't worry My name is Screaming Abdab, and I am Middle Class

goog?

(and don't forget the gosh Blameitonthebogie)

I've had it. I'm off to learn some new words.

That new game on ITV "The colour of money". My neighbours must think I'm crazy shouting "STOP" all the time.

Rollmops

sorry

but

you

are

obviously

POSH

There is a busker by my work who has one of those vacuums with the faces on (wtf are they called btw?), and he has rigged it up with feet and hands that hold on to a pretend saxophone and it plays some hideous 'lite' music that I find really annoying.

And then I fell ashamed because I know he is just trying to make a living.

And the fact that I am the 'enemy' to some people when I take my pushchair on the tube everyday, and why don't they stop to think that this is hard enough for me and my ds as it is and to cut us some slack.

People who think putting their hazzard lights on means they can park anywhere even if doing so causes a huge traffic jam!

I really hate it when people say I am going to ASDAS instead of I am going to ASDA.

Why?

I nearly go spare when my OH says dungereens and blanklet (he is west indian) and he swears blind Corination st is called Carnation street (despite so much evidence that he is wrong).

That Homebuyer Man advert - whats with the mega bulge waving away?

That Dogs Trust advert when the put a blanket over a dog. A blanket over a dog! Whats that about. Its not a person FFS!

Cor blimey I could go on for ages. I am SO repressed.

People in a queue of traffic who beep their horns. I f we could get out of the way we would FFS!

Google asking me whether I've spelt something correctly and offering me the american alternative such as
'did you mean moisturizer?'

No. I did not. I meant moisturiser.

People who call a vase pronounced vaaz in my book, a vaez or worse a voz.
