what petty annoyances make you want to KILL? just curious...
today i went bowling (ten-pin) and in the lane next to me there were 3 older teenagers playing with the child-bars up! (if you didnt know, thats when railings are erected in the gutter to stop the ball going down... it simply bounces off and is gauranteed to hit the pins.) and every time they knocked the pins down, they cheered. really, what the f**ks that all about? this genuinely almost drove me to a triple-murder.
on second thoughts, what the f**k are 'kids' bowling with the use of these bars for anyway? i mean, isnt it like playing snooker with your hands? if you cant hit the pins, youre too young to play. so wait till your older! stop the cheating!
GRRRRRRRRR!

I have absolutely loads so will probably keep popping back into this thread as I think of more! My first one is people who can't spell 'definitely'. For some reason people come up with millions of spelling of this word; definately, definitley, defanately, definitly, defanitely... every one except the real one! Normally the same people who type 'should of', 'could of' etc...

Example...Noty fact just an example...
I like red hair
Joe bloggs doesnt...
I would not argue his opinion or poke fun at him because opinions vary
Joe bloggs cant spell actually...
I would never make fun of that or make any snide remarks...
I treat everyone as equals, how it should be.
I make my mind up if i dont like someone based on if there sl*gging me off, or making fun of me for no apparent reason, i dont make up my mind if i dont like someone based on there difference of opinion!! i accept it and respect it and if there is a discussion and there is a difference of opinion then so be it everyone is entitled to it!!

Well that's different - disliking someone because of their hair colour (or of course skin colour) is just plain old prejudice, and that makes me mad too.

Another one getting me at the mo (see, I told you I'd think of more!) is people who use the word 'random' to describe anything they dislike or think is odd. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS! It used to be just teenagers and the kind of people who like say 'like' in like every sentence, you know?, but now people I'd assumed had a brain cell are doing it! The other day I heard Judy Finnigan say 'oh, that's just so random' when she heard a Lib Dem MP was appearing in 'The Games' on Channel 4. Er, no it isn't! It's not random at all - it's the exact opposite, she was picked precisely because of who she is, not randomly! Okay, I know she has been presenting a fluffy daytime show for years, but she was trained as a journalist; surely she should know what basic words mean?

What really gets the steam pouring from my ears is people who park on pavements and students who arrive at lessons without pens and expect me to supply them.
Post by: goldencup on March 17, 2006, 09:23:05 am
I remember when a similar thread was going before, I mentioned that 'nurse speak' drives me mad with their slipping and popping, as in "just slip on the gown and pop on the couch."
Well it's got worse. A few days ago I was buying something on credit card and was instructed to "slip in your card and pop in your PIN."
Arghhhhhhhhhhh!

I have a whole list of things that make me want to go on a murder spree but the main one is if someone touches my feet it really does make me lash out...strange i know!!

I also get the murder feeling when people treat others differently or make fun because they may not be as intelligent as them or they don't like the same thing as them etc.... it's very shallow and upsetting
I thought the whole point of this thread was that it was PETTY things that annoy us. So it's bound to be a bit shallow.

Where do i start on this thread...
1) Over use of the word "Whatever" - especially when it is clear that the person in question lacks the intelligence to construct a complete sentence
2) Tings like dis n dat innit - Good grief! We are not starring in a semi literate gangster rap video (well i hope not)
3) Jamie Oliver

I get annoyed by, in no particular order:
Hearing about paedophiles being let out to commit their disgusting crimes again. (more than annoyed actually)
White van men who don't indicate.
Sentences like this: Fish and chip's - 60p
Shop assistants who have no sense of customer service.
That's it for now.

Yes why do they think it's safer for each of them to drive their kid to school in a 4x4? They are creating more traffic and congestion.
There are lots of things about driving which fill me with rage. The main stretch of road around my town has a 60mph speed limit. I always seem to be stuck behind someone doing 30mph who then continues to do 30mph when they turn off onto the estate which has a 20mph speed limit.

Yeah, like the minority who don't agree with the smoking ban and bang on about that. Yeah you're right, it's really annoying.
Post by: babygirl on March 20, 2006, 07:26:14 pm
yeah but the lot who do agree with it banged on about it aswell!! So you can't say that!
Just because peoples opinions vary it don't mean they were banging on i thought it was a discussion??
And that is why your post on the weekend thread didn't make sense!!
Because you were saying about people arguing?
Who was arguing we were simply discussing!{or so i thought

Not at all. Your opinion is valid. So is the minority opinion.
Is it?
From the rubbish i have had to endure recently (ok it is by choice - no one forced me to log on) it would appear that my opinion is far from valid!
Again as i have said before, this is supposed to be a bit of spare time fun. I cannot be bothered with grumpy weirdos mouthing off at me because i side with someone i "am shagging".
Weak.
