Folk who mis-pronounce ‘wafer’ with ‘a’ as a soft vowel as in ‘cat’. The two main culprits are Jamie Oliver and Chris Evans.
Is that not a reference to the Mr Creosote sketch in the Python film? I pronounce it like that sometimes, with a French accent [emoji16]Quote:

Get ****ed.
People who preface everything they say with "So". It's happening increasingly. Where did it start, I wonder?

The clothes and camping equipment store Go Outdoors at Granton.
To get shoes at a discount price you have to have a discount card which costs a fiver.
OK but no one tells you about this until you get to the checkout.
It's a bit sneaky.
I included this one some time ago on this thread. It drives me nuts, especially when they are responding to a question. The other ‘fashionable’ one is, when responding to a question, to start the answer with ‘D’you know what.’Quote:

I find it really rude because I always find there is an implication that the reason you have a different view is because you are incapable of paying attention.
You're right. They need a slap an' all.Quote:

Correct. They should all be lined up and shot.Quote:

If we're talking about changing room etiquette surely the worst offenders have to be the (normally older) guys who are just a bit too comfortable with their bobby out. I get there'll be times when it's on display but the first item of clothes that goes on surely has to be the pants. Doesn't always seem to be the case with some people though.Quote:

Have I missed something? Since when did adding a question mark to a statement like “ I thought he was poor on Saturday?” Turn it into a question? Has written language evolved or am I a dinosaur? Surely the statement should be “anyone else agree he was poor on Saturday?”, or some such, to turn it into a question.
I might be the one who is wrong but every second post does it and it drives me nuts!
I've never seen that?Quote:

It's a natural concomitant of the widespread adoption of AQI/HRT (Australian Question Intonation/High-Rising Terminal) as an acceptable method of making statements. :nerd:Quote:

Labels on vinyl, no side info, no track info, no speed info. Just been playing the Orb and am not sure if it is vintage rave hardcore helium vocals or slow trippy dub. OK, it's the Orb so clearly it's the latter but the most vague hieroglyphics is annoying. So is the spellchecker on this device. Too angry for a Saturday morning but been up for a while.
When you open a tin of soup and most of it stays in the can when you turn it upside-down to empty it into a pan.
Give it a good shake before opening.Quote:

Football cliches, particularly “biggest game of the season”, which is invariably used every week. It essentially means the next game is the focus, rather than that game generally having more significance than the game after that one or any of the others.
Packets of meat that are sold as re sealable with a "peel off" corner which doesn't work half the bloody time. I have had the meat in a vice with the corner gripped firmly with a pair of pliers, the family all pulling as one like a tug of war team and still the bloody things wont open.
Remember when you went to the local butchers and they just sliced the meat for you and wrapped it in a bit of grease proof paper? Christ, now I sound like my Gran.
I can't get that image out my head now.Quote:

Minimise dilly dallying further by not showering or eating in the morning. Simples :wink:Quote:

Every bloody website I open, on my iPad or my phone, has that annoying cookie consent pop up thing.
Starting to get sick of it. "I don't know what you are but I ****ing agree. I told you, and all your mates that the last time I opened you up. Just leave me alone!"
At football stadiums when people enter from the wrong side of the row. There’s a guy that sits along from me and every week he comes up a set of stairs at the right of the row 2 minutes before kick off, everyone moves for him so he can take his seat 4 seats into the row at the opposite end right next to the stairs at that side. I’d understand if he was a walk up and it was a one off but he was at it all last season and it’s continued this season. He’s a torn faced auld git into the bargain and mumps and moans from start to finish.
Download bus apps thay way you just buy the tickets you need..or first bus take contactless payments. Saves me a fortune getting change for loads of buses. Couldn't tell you the last time i used cash on a busQuote:

Glass collectors who swoop and take your glass when you haven't actually finished your drink, I blame the folk who leave a half inch of ale every pint for encouraging them.
I was up on George Street during the festival. It was where they had the helter skelter. I went on it with my daughter and left my partner in the seats where we were sitting. When I came back my pint which was still half full was gone. They didn’t even bother to ask if it was done.Quote:

The new exit to the dump at Seafield.
Why can’t I turn right when I’m leaving? And why have they closed the entrance to the B&M so I can’t do a turn there?
I’m guessing it’s because it’s a bit of a blind bend, if that’s the case is that no a really stupid place for the exit?
Agree. Very annoying. Is it a motoring offence to turn right regardless of the sign?Quote:

Employers taking the piss with working week expectations.
I'm currently employed but looking for a new job and it's becoming more and more common to see companies expecting you to work 8:30am-6pm or weekend work with no day back, apparently this extra work is reflected in the salary but there's no noticeable difference.
What happened to the working day being 9-5? Why has it become acceptable for employers to start sneaking in earlier starts or later finishes?
Agreed, I remember Wednesday half days in shops and Sundays were days of rest! for virtually everyone.Quote:
