You know what really grinds my gears? When people use words that aren't really words.
Addicting. You mean 'addictive' you dumb motherfucker.

You know you've set your future posts up for thorough inspection now?
Insultive was used by someone here. Not sure if it's widespread though. :lol:
The overuse and absolute misuse (and abuse) of words like literally, phenomenal and epic in today's media and society is enough to make me feel like the repressed Ned Flanders.
Even though tbh is a GW staple, idiots (well, footballers) using it in every sentence of speech is actually quite annoying.
Also, most Americanisms are evil.
Lemons.
Seriously, who invented them?
Utter shit.
Mentioned it quite a few times in similar threads - but that is because it annoys me a disproportionate amount - unimpeccable ( :whistle: ) manners.
I stopped at a zebra crossing today. A bunch of tourists crossed. Nobody signalled to thank me. All it takes is a nod of the head or a quick wave of the hand. Nothing. I was tempted to run them over. With my bicycle.
Sort it out, England.
People who walk slowly.
Get.
The hell.
Out of my way.
i put some sand in my mums previa oil hole like they did on the A-team once - murdock is my favourite. mummy wasn't very happy but I don't think she new it was me as I wiped all the oil off my hands on to some clean towels. She found out when I put a banana up her exhaust pipe like will smith did in Beverly Hills Cop as I got a burny boo boo. has anyone every seen a monkey feather.
Transfer threads.
Pikey canucks.
We're not talking in terms of what people "should" do - as I say, it's about courtesy. They have caused me to stop and so a quick nod of the head or wave would be good courtesy. And yes, I put a hand up when a car lets me pass even if the obstruction is on his side.
By your logic, what's the point thanking the cashier when they give you change? They're not giving you your change voluntarily, they'd have to do it anyway. A quick nod and a smile. That's all I'm asking for. I'll nod back. I'm happy to stop. They're happy to walk. Britain is a better, friendlier place.
I always put my hand up whenever someone stops for me to cross the road, or when I'm driving and the other car has been obstructed and stopped for me. I don't even think about it really, it's just a reflex.
Oh - I sometimes do that but I don't see it is a requirement. The point I was trying to make is that a lot of drivers seem to assume that they have priority over pedestrians and that they are doing them a favour by not ignoring the pedestrian's right of way and just mowing them down - the thanks should not be 'thanks for not disobeying the highway code and slaughtering me in cold blood'.
Worse is on road junctions where cars seldom give way to pedestrians and if you exert your right of way, they go mental.

The phrase 'grinds your gears'
The fact pretty girls still smile at me when i am taken and have 3 kids :cry:
:console:
sitting down to eat and switching the tv on, the second i sit down the fucking tv adverts start
really pisses me off
Once upon a time, when there were 3 channels - BBC1, BBC2 and ITV, the powers that be restricted ITV to a max of something like 7 minutes of advertising in any hour. Now we have 3 grillion channels of shite with no real control, they push out ads like there's no tomorrow. I didn't realise how big it was till I edited a couple of series I'd recorded to strip out the ads. Every 9-10 minutes, there was an ad break lasting 5 minutes. So instead of 7 minutes of ads per hour as in the 'good old days', it is now about 20 minutes an hour. So if you switch on the telly or change channels, 1 time in 3 you will hit adverts. No wonder most TV sucks the big one.
If you channel hop on Sky the vast majority you turn to are on an advert break.
I really should cancel Sky, it is a load of crap really
<_<
