I really don't know how that started, but I think it makes people look really silly. How ridiculous.

And 'arks' for 'ask'.

Don't even get me started on that one....

[p4cks]

And 'arks' for 'ask'.

Ding ding ding ding ding. That reeeeeeeeeeeeally pisses me off. How difficult can it be to pronounce? Another one is 'ffff' instead of 'thh' Now if you have a lithp then fair enough but if you don't, then just fcuk. right. off.

[Yellow_or_black?]

That also crossed my mind. Indeed - how hard can it be to pronounce 3 letters, although I think it has become a 'thing'...

Somebody - "You know you can see the Great Wall of China from space?" Me - "Are you telling me you can see a 10mtre wide object from space?" Somebody - "yes" Me - "a 10mtre object roughly the same colour as the earth is sits on?" Somebody - "yes" Me - "No you cant. Thats stupid. You can maybe see the ridge of the mountain it sits on, and the clouds that collect against the mountain side, but you can not see the actual wall. It is tiny. By that reasoning you could see most of the roads on earth from space." Somebody - "Yes you can" Me - *explodes* I hate this argument. It does my tits in. I had the same argument with a teacher at school, again with a collage lecturer (and half the class) and again this morning with a colleague. Some misguided school text book printed the fact year ago and now everyone thinks its true. Sorry - a very random post.

Text speak "Am" rather than "I am" or "im" "u" rather than "you" etc etc

Me - "Yes you can"

Given that you're clearly having the conversation with yourself - perhaps you should request some anti-schizophrenia tablets from your Doctor to ease the burden of the endless argument...

Lol like a dog chasing its tail but infinitely less entertaining to watch?

Sorry - a hurried post.

Springy plastic forks. Tupperware box with little ridges in. 30 seconds ago the plastic fork gets caught on the ridge, springs up-over sending Sheppard’s pie hurtling towards my face. Que the most ninja like face-cleaning operation this open plan office has ever see, and a quick glance around to make sure no-one saw the whole ordeal. Damn forks!

Just to continue the word mangling complaints, I really can't stand should of, could of, would of - for should've, could've, would've The "filim" thing is very common over here, although not everyone (mis)pronounces it that way.

All these major companies running adverts that mention the olympics in some sh*t loose form to make a point to the advert...... example; apparently "Scottish Widows understands it takes a lot to win a gold medal" No sh*t. now fcuk off.

Very annoying, similar to that you get the idiots who speed up so they have to brake.

Following a bloke in an Audi the other day, slowish moving traffic, suddenly a puff of diesel smoke from his exhaust and off he goes. I think, where's he going?

A transit had pulled across the road to get across, Audi slams brakes on at last second after accelerating towards it.

Why?

Seen so many people do this, even at pedestrians.

Makes me want to drag them out of the car and bang their head against the road.

Same happens at roundabouts why accelerate into the vehicle that has already started to pull out quite safely to stop them puling out and create a hazard??? We are all going to get where we are going.....most of us

When you pull out into a lane, leaving plenty of room between you and the car behind, but the car behind slams his foot on the gas to land on your arse - and then flashes you

similar to that you get the idiots who speed up so they have to brake.

Just to say 'yeah that' (it happened to me on the day I posted - BMW driver, quelle surprise ) not to say 'yes it's already been done'. Even I've repeated myself on here

The progressively more desperate and thus idiotic premises for reality TV shows - especially ones involving Z list 'celebrities' who crave increased exposure. What the hell is this nonsense now about planes being crewed (is that a word?) by 'stars'? What a load of old tosh Will it ever ever end?

Big Brother IMO the worst crap to ever be broadcast.....I am probably alone or in the minority on that. I cant bear to watch more than a minute of it!!!

You're definitely not alone in that...

[LY_Scott]

why do people get to the barriers and then stand there rummaging through their handbag/manbag to find the pass when they've known all along that they'd need it when they get their! If it wasn't iilegal, they'd get a plank of wood in the back of the head!

Oh and Oxford street any time!
