Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Have they replaced the main roundabout in Lewisham now?

Two things to do with the English language that irritate me...
  • 1. Pronouncing the letter H as Haitch, rather than Aitch.

    2. Ginger step son: "Can we watch a movie tonight?"
    Me: "No, we live in England. We watch films."

A tad harsh, but I do think dancing is a bit crap. Other than erotic dancing, what's the point? It just looks silly.

Annoys the f*** out of me.

With you all the way Rob.

I go out of my way to say "series" when talking about a collective of episodes. I only mention the word "season" when the footy season starts and the dog is on blob!

When in a crowded place, people who just grunt "scuse" when they want to get past. What happened to "Excuse me please"?

"Can I get..." instead of "Can/may I have.."

Smokers who think the world is a giant ashtray.

People who think mobile phones only work if they walk in random and unpredictable patterns while they're using them.

Going away for the weekend to my caravan in Norfolk only to find.....

1) The mother in law will be joining us, well I say joining us she was there before any of my lot
2) Being expected to pay for every meal/drink as she is a pensioner (with a fair bit of cash)
3) Her sitting around while me and the wife cook and clean whilst supposing to be on holiday
4) Sister in law turning up on Sunday with her four kids who then help themselves to all the food, tea etc as if it were their own
5) Getting frowned upon as I spent cash on my kids and not paying for everyone else's kids to go on rides on the sea front or ice creams
6) Get dirty looks from them all when I suggest it might be nice if they paid for something or actually helped keeping things clean.

Not quite the relaxing weekend with my wife and kids I was expecting.

Well if those are all relatives on your wife's side, maybe you should suggest she has a word....at the very least she should be standing up for you when her family criticise...

Mrs DKF insisting on starting a conversation from a different room, or floor of the house & expecting you to hear her.
If you want to talk come & bloody find me. Not make me stop what I'm doing to traipse through the house to hear something trivial.

Same here. My 5 year old daughter also appears to have picked up this habit!
