Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[Ady]

So basically, Americans irk you then.

[sj33]

^Here's another Americanism that drives me mad -

"For all intensive purposes"

What the hell is an 'intensive purpose'? It's "For all intents and purposes".

I just want to say, before I type this, that I am NOT a rasist!

But why do we have BBC Asian Radio? And black music awards etc.

If there was a award night for white music people would call the rasist card.

But stuff like the MOBO Awards is positive discrimination so that is ok apparently...

[JP]

Although I'm not particularly keen on simplifying & categorising things like music but MOBO just refers to certain genres of music in the same way that the Royal Society or the CMT Awards do.

As far as I'm aware, all awards for specific genres of music will also exclude other genres of music.

Although the name MOBO refers to music or a certain kind, MOBO certainly doesn't exclude or award people due to their race and the award winners demonstrate that.

Anyway, I came in here as I've remembered something else that annoys me. Well I've remembered loads now I've started thinking about it but this one happened earlier and it's probably happened to everyone.

It's when you arrive home and some fool asks you to guess who they saw today! The chances are I don't really care who they saw today and it's unlikely that I want to play games guessing who it was.

Text speech. Especially on forums and in emails.

I tend to ignore/delete anything written in such a fashion as it takes way too long attempting to translate it into English.

Drives me insane.

Couple more:

People who use sticky tape to bundle cables for their consoles! Argh, the residue.

When you ask someone a question and the first word of their answer is "obviously". If it was that bloody obvious I wouldn't have asked.

Those charity bags you get through the door asking for old clothes - I get 3 a week!

Junk mail in general.

Neighbours who use other peoples bins for their rubbish.

Gay guys trying to check out my piece when I go for a piss.

aarghh totally agree with the first one..

[ItsThere]

I don't think there are such things as "gay toilets" I think it's just men and women still...

This one is quite simple to remedy dude!

- Recycle the bags as bin bags?
- Don't put out your bin till nearer pick up time, or fill the bin up to the brim!
- Use a cubicle..........

people who say "absolutely" to questions on a regular basis , "have you done this" absolutely. "do you like this" absolutely.

[kernow]

People who buy Japanese RPG's or text heavy games, despite not knowing a word of Japanese.

[charlesr]

Anyway..this has got to me over a long time...watching gameplays on youtube and the original game music has some ridiculous rock track..

But..it gets worse..you finally find a game you didn't know had existance and wanted to see if with you own eyes and again! Rock music over the original game music. For Christs Sake, the music is integral to most games ever made.

Rant over.

This is a vid of someone complaining about a childrens' TV show called Waybuloo.



It seems youtubers are incapable of making videos without putting "rock" over the top. lmao at the video though. I wonder if they know about shag bands....

[merf]

folk who when ordering food/drink ask for stuff with the Friends inspired 'can I get'

what,you're going to fetch it yourself ?
