Oh yes - them as well.

Where/were/we're, their/there/they're and your/you're to add to the list as well.

Can I just throw in to/too/two too.

The one that always gets me is people who confuse 'our' and 'are'. As in 'we just moved into are house'

How's is that even possible?

Hate how every series on Netflix has a 5 star rating, surely they can't all be that good.

[DH1875]

People who mess around with their phone while your having a conversation with them.

People from the generation who were taught "it's spelled how it sounds" at school. A lot of people say "are house".

The stupid bitch on the telly last night was definitely from the older generation and she said "are England" while thumping her chest about them having achieved independence.

In my current work I'm astounded by the amount of people you make an effort to hold the door open who don't thank you for it or who don't hold the door open if you're just behind them. Manners!

Also, the trend to have popular non acoustic songs given an acoustic treatment for the sake of a telly advert does my head in.

I thought she was using it in the context of pirate English

'Aaaarrrrr England'.

Loving this thread, keep forgetting about the dug out, never seen so many grumpy auld gets having a right good moan , I feel at home here.

Drivers who don't acknowledge when you let them past, or the ignorant ones that barge past when they don't have the right of way.

[Galahibby]

Apostrophes where they're not needed, and the lack of them where they should be.

I'm sure if Scotland had an International Moaning Team I would be capped.

Door or phone canvassers who won't accept a couple of polite no thank yous and force you into the 'P.F.O.' mode.

[Mixu62]

In the supermarket, when you step back to let someone past and the stop right in front of you. I'm trying to spot a particular brand of whatever and they stand right in my line of vision. MOVE IT!!

People who use the word "went" in place of "said". You know, he went....so I went...an' he went.

The phrase "broke the internet" - usually used in relation to a picture of a celebrity which isn't very interesting to people with a modicum of common sense.

And "this just won the Internet"

Songs which make up words (or change existing words slightly) to fit the number of syllables required. It seems to be becoming more and more common.

How can that be a pet peeve when legends such as snoop has been shizzling nizzles since the 90's

Fair point! :-)

I should have clarified that I don't mind when the whole song is full of it, it's just when it's one word in the hope we won't notice.

Strange pavement behaviour. This includes, but is not limited to, people suddenly stopping dead in their tracks when you're walking behind them - usually it's to look at their mobile phone - and people who are apparently incapable of walking in a straight line on narrow pavements.

I will guess that is an autocorrect issue there! One of my own pet peeves is when autocorrect puts apostrophes where it shouldn't!

I tend to use a lot of jargon and off-the-wall words & I spend more time changing autocorrect to what I actually typed than I do correcting my mistakes.
Hate the thing ... but not as much as I hate the person responsible for programming the auto indentation as soon as you type "1".

[Mon Dieu4]

Erkies old enough to know better but still think it's funny to keep ringing a bus bell, yet you are the one in the wrong when you offer to knock them out if they don't cut it out

[lord bunberry]

People who press the green man and walk straight across the road before it even comes on, leaving me sitting waiting at the red light while nobody crosses.

[Godsahibby]

It annoys me that they autocorrect the word apple to give it a capital letter.

[The Modfather]

Folk who don't understand how to use question marks. There's more than a few regular offenders on the main board.

What makes them think that putting a question mark at the end of a closed statement makes it a question? 😡

A question mark is capable of making any statement a question. That's how it should be.
