what 'trends' really (maybe unreasonably) make your teeth itch?

[littlerayofsunshite]

Some things really piss me off. Those wall stickers 'live, laugh, love' and other shitty phrases for example. Another is those glittery wine glasses/bottles being sold on every Facebook page. Then there are those books that have been turned into words and classed as art.

There are more. Wow there are more but before I go on, are these common pet hates or AIBU a miserable bitch

Germgirl - I have just visited a birdie num bums website and its exactly as you may have expected and is guilty of quite a few of the crimes listed previously. No mac and cheese though. Yet...

This is my first post - I am a lurker no more.

Restaurants with the phrase 'kitchen'/'dining rooms'/'eating house' in their name

Your love and pity doth the impression fill,
Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?

Shakespeare, Sonnet 112

What about the opposite of chatty menus - minimal menus that just say three foodstuffs and a number?

Black pudding, fenugreek, creme fraiche - 9

Rocket, gorgonzola, passionfruit - 11

Bamboo, eucalyptus, seaweed - 14

Food wrapped in burble "Great for Pesto! Essential for pasta sauce! Try shredded in tomato soup!"

I'd really rather it just said "Basil."

Same for burbling kitchen utensils. I don't need a chopping board to say "Chop chop chop!" I'll get the sound effects when I chop stuff on it, you know.

I don't care if it came from God himself my bad still gives me the rage

Argh yes, utensils that burble. MIL gave us a carving board that says 'chop slice carve' on it. Like a fucking carving board needs fucking instructions.

The ten second news update on bbc 1 in the evening and then theres a local one afterwards. Whats the point when there is a 24 hr news channel available!

Also weather forecasters referring to snow as 'the white stuff ' (they don't refer to rain as 'the wet stuff ' or sunshine as 'the hot stuff' )

Also news reporters who pronounce police as 'pleece'

Any product that tries to be overly chatty in the Innocent smoothie mould

I don't care if it came from God himself my bad still gives me the rage

Well, for anyone who's interested, the modern usage came from African Americans.

Has anyone linked to this brilliant Tumblr yet?

Posters who say "gotten". If you are American, OK. If not, "gotten" went out of use in the 17th century.

Just because sodding Shakespeare wrote it doesn't make it ok in 2015.

We no longer wear ruffs either.

The current expression 'right now' instead of 'at the moment'.

Im so tired right now.
A block heel is so in right now.

And yes, the singular for something that is generally a pair. Viz: trouser, lip, eye, just makes you sound affected.

Can I add wanky menu descriptions? Crushed potatoes (you can't be arsed to mash them properly) , "jus" (it's feckin gravy) and 'a bed' of anything (or 'nestling')

' Three hand reared, locally sourced pork sausages nestling on a bed of crushed potatoes smothered in onion jus'

Sausage and mash then. And it's £12.50.

'Thanks for reaching out to us'. Yuck. I sent you a frigging email FFS.

Sorry, but I greatly prefer "now" or even "right now" to "at the moment" as they are shorter, more precise and do not remind me of the dreaded "at this moment in time" which is just a pompous way of saying "now".

At this moment in time! Yes, people who use loads more words than necessary, to sound important all MPs

I just can't help but hear Will Ferrell's character in Zoolander every time I hear 'right now'

Fucking sticks in giant vases next to your fireplace. They've been around for years and years now and they still piss me off. I don't understand them. Who decorates a room and then thinks "you know what this room is missing? A load of sticks in a fucking vase"?

Extra points if the sticks in a vase are next to a fireplace which is on a red and black floral wallpaper feature wall, and one of the other walls in the room has a trite phrase wall decal on it.

YOLO!

Just no!

And I totally agree with the " my bad" my students say it all the time. I just want to finish the sentence "my bad choice of an Americanism has render all my future work, no matter how original is of no particular relevance to society"
