Off Topic Really minor things that irritate you

As the title of the thread says. There will be things that are so trivial in the big scheme of things that scarcely warrant a mention, but they still irritate you anyway.
I’m sure there are more than this for me but….

The contraction of the name Rebecca to ‘Becca. I don’t even have anyone in my family with that name but I cringe every time I hear it or read it.
The word cum to describe ejaculated seminal fluid. Again, whenever I read it or hear it it makes me shudder.

So, anyone else want to admit to their little foibles?

 

There are loads for me, and here are just a few

People who start sentences with 'so'
People who say 'and also' . . . . which means 'and and'
Lazy people who can't be bothered with 'th' . . . . preferring to be stupid and say 'f' like 'I fink so' or 'I fort so' or 'I went frew the tunnel'
People who start sentences with 'listen' or 'don't ask' when you've just asked.

There really are loads . . . . I'm going to have to stop

 

People who present opinion as fact.
We are all entitled to our own oopinions but not our own facts.
By the way, I'm one of the worst offenders and a firm believer in bullshit baffles brains

 

Here goes! People who don't say thank you when you keep a door open for them, people who stand in your way in the supermarket taking 20 mins to decide which sauce to buy when you know exactly which one you want but can't get there, people who don't listen to or read what you tell them and still do it wrong (work thing!). People who drive 30 mph in a national zone then speed up when it's a 30! People who when I'm a conversation don't listen to what you say then continue to talk about what they want to

 

And I’m very conscious that I did that in my post.

 

Another one . . . . people who start sentences with 'and'

I was taught at school that we should never do that 'cos it's just wrong

 

Nissan drivers.

Convinced you have to pass a blind, dumb and stupid test to get a Quasqhi.

 

I hate incorrect use of the ellipsis myself. What sort of human can't count to three and then stop.

A lot of people struggle wiff the English language. Best to remain accepting of all sorts.

 

We were taught lots of things at school that didn’t really bear close scrutiny though Gordon. I think we’ve both turned out ok anyway.

 

"There is nothing wrong with starting sentences with “and,” “but,” or other similar conjunctions. You may, however, encounter people who mistakenly believe that starting a sentence with a conjunction is an error, so consider your audience when deciding to structure your sentences this way."

 

****ing hell man...I'm the original Mr Grumpy....this thread isn't long enough and I just don't have the time!
Almost everything about modern life irritates me,minor or not. This thread should be....what doesn't! I might have to think for a while!

 

Could of. Annoys me more than it should.

Each to their own mate. I’d rather walk, barefoot.

It’s not the motors in fairness, I’ve no idea what they are like, it’s that whenever some dickhead is in the wrong land or pulls out blind or whatever, always seems to be a Nissan.

 

And folk who change their font colour!

 

Off of
Facebook speak. We seen it . Does anyone no. Is there any .
The bone idleness of littering.
Wearing hoods up even when it’s a hot day.
Slowly packing all the groceries then looking surprised when the till person asks for some money - oh dear the purse is in the handbag which is in the big bag. Purse at bottom of handbag . Debit card hidden amongst. 38 store cards. Store card also needs finding .
Not being told that membership of grumpy old man’s club is automatic .

….. oh hang on I’ve got a 5p off coupon somewhere in the bowels of this bag

 

Respect.

And the lack of it and the decreasing lack of it due selfishness, self entitlement and nurture.

The majority of bad parents breed bad kids.

 

Grrrrrr

 

And just like that, the shopkeeper appeared, and Mr Ben knew, his adventure was over and would be long forgotten.

But, what's that he's found in his pocket? They're anal beads that Magical Becca pulled from his rectum, "Well bugger me" he said with a grin. Memories, and he placed it on his shelf with his other prized possessions, right next to Alan Shearer's Weetabix wig.

 

Pundits who say "when you've got your Fodens, Haarlands, and Rices" rather than "players of the calibre of Foden, Haarland and Rice".
Like many grumpy old men, I could spend the day making this list.
