Not really a peeve but more something that confuses me.
When someone connected to football dies, either player or fan, someone will inevitably say 'it puts football into perspective'. What does that even mean? If the guys who collects the trolleys in Tesco dies do they say 'it puts my weekly shop into perspective' or if someone who really likes films and is a regular at the cinema dies is it 'it puts the moaning about the price of popcorn into perspective'?
It just seems a bit of an empty phrase to me.

Yes, thrashing myself to the scintillating football produced by Manchester City, an absolute joy to watch.

I'm in the dentists and waiting but having to listen to the receptionists giving surprisingly intimate details about their health problems at top volume. I'm the only punter in the place. Then a few more folk come in and the health chat stops. Gimme a break ladies!

Documentary makers in America’s complete inability to make a programme without trying to sex it up by exaggerating the facts. I was watching one called secrets of the underground last night. It was about the volcanic activity around Naples. There was no need to exaggerate what was happening as it’s already an interesting story, and it has a history surrounding it that’s well known to everyone. They seem to do it all the time, it’s got to the point that you’re never sure what’s proper fact and what’s not. It’s not what you should be thinking when watching a documentary.

People who seem to think its ok to fill up their car, pay for the fuel, come back and sit in their car putting on lipstick/some sort of make up and then make a phone call whilst your sat behind waiting to use said pump. Then getting a evil stare when you toot and gesture, ever so politely, to get a move on!!
