Things that annoy me

I've been planning this for some time and finally got round to it. You should all give it a go and please feel free to add to the list. I feel so much better now.

• People that say ‘get me?’ who are actually agreeing with what you’ve just said
• H – this is pronounced AITCH not HAITCH

• People who shout on mobile phones
• Key tones on mobile phones….beep beep beep – shut up now
• People that walk slowly and block your path
• People that have umbrellas the size of Wales
• Ppl dat type in txt spk all da time
• LOL – I can see you, you’re in the same room as me and you are not laughing at all

• People that talk in the cinema
• People that talk at gigs when the band is on
• People that do crap impressions of comedy catchprahses ie ‘I want that one’
• RnB – This stands for rhythm and blues, it has nothing to do with bling and grinding your booty on da dancefloor, name your own music genre instead of stealing one
• Americans pronouncing ‘herb’ ‘erb’ – a whole nation being pretentious
• The lazy American shortening of the phrase ‘I couldn’t care less’ to ‘I could care less’ rendering it useless and making everyone that says it an utter moron
• Annoying kids in confined places – trains, shops, pubs etc but even worse are the lazy parents who do nothing about it

• People getting the words borrow and lend mixed up
• People that SO use words that are LIKE SO not needed
• The phrase ‘so he turns around to me and says’
• Australian question intonation where simple phrases are spoken as if a question. It’s really annoying? NB Aussies can be forgiven just about.
• Emails that end with ‘pass to 10 people and your day will be great’
• Emails containing powerpoint presentations of severely unfunny pictures of cute cats
• Successful films/music/tv being overly hyped and milked until everyone is sick to death of them

• Tight people – worse if they’re well off

• Door to door religious types, no I don’t want to see a world full of peace and love, that would be dull.

• Owners of pets who refer to themselves as mummy and daddy of the pet
• Special edition DVDs being released a couple of months after the original release



  • another one to add

    these ridiculous symbols all over this post. What the hell?

    • Yeah that bugs me

      but not as much as people (normally women I'm afraid to point out) who take about 10 mins at a cash point. It drives me FUCKING MAD. Literally, press three buttons, get your cash andf FUCK OFF. It's simple.

      • Yeah man you and me both

        I hate those people. The long ones are the morons who use about five cards in there. CUNTS.

    • gr8 stuff

      like i so understand what your talking bout.
      it really annoys me 2!!!
      u wanna credit card?

      (Forward this email to 10 ppl or u will die)

  • it

    is merely a reflection of how little I feel like doing work that I have read this and am now replying.

    1)I agree with you about cd teeth and special edition DVDs, also people who quote little britain, especially when they then ask you if you have seen it.

    2)I don't agree with you on all the stuff you say about the way people talk. Language is fluid, not fixed. The reason we have words and certain conventions of speech/phrases is cos 'SHOCK HORROR!' people just made them up as they went along! They weren't written down in textbooks the day before the earth was made, people just said them a lot and then other people started saying them too.

    3)Fucking cheer up. People use rising/questioning inflections at the end of sentences to make their speech more lively, to provoke a response or some positive feedback to get them to continue speaking. As they do with lots of the other verbal quirks you don't like.

    4)'People that talk' at gigs/the cinema - yes, they annoy me too. And when they do I ask them in a very polite and friendly way to stop, and do you know what? They do! Amazing! Who'd have thought? The same goes for people with headphones. And, while we're at it, people in bar queues.

    5)People with laptops on trains - if you don't like watching them then go have a wank in the bogs.

  • I have seen the future

    you are never going to be happy :-(

    • hmmm

      lots of annoying replies there.

      Only joshing.

      Just a bit of fun restlessboy, I'm not stating hard fact here, just my personal opinions.

      Moker, that is a great addition, can't believe I forgot it.

      • What about

        fuckheads who sit in a big line of traffic with hundreds of cars in front and behind then and they just lean on their horn for ages. AS IF IT'S GONNA HELP YOU MORONS. It just serves to piss everyone else off more.

        People who use cockney rhyming slang are cunts too. "Wanna go down the frog anf toad for a ruby?" Piss off you twonks.

        Ah, feel my anger.

        • Moker

          I think me and you could come up with the definitive list.

          Good stuff, keep em coming!

          • I agree with most of this

            Can I just add "British people who talk in American accents for much of the time" to the list? Many of my friends and my sister do, and I've pretty much given up on correcting them.

            • i dont think

              you would like me very much, although much of this stuff annoys me too, im sure i do alot of it

              • old people

                who take ages buying stuff. Get t'internet and shop online!
