Richard T Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Saying "You and I" when you mean "You and me". Saying "You and me" when you mean "You and I", especially in songs just to make the lyrics rhyme - I can be heard shouting at the radio, "YOU AND I!!! YOU AND I!!!!". People who park next to my car when the CAR PARK IS FLIPPING EMPTY! What's wrong with you, can't you park by yourself? Can I add adults who say "Me and Tom went ... "? It should be "Tom and I went ..." which is not only grammatically correct but also polite because it names Tom first. And the parking thing - I thought that only happened to me! People who don't have children using the designated spaces for drivers with smallsters. I've often wondered whether they are designated spaces for parents and children - so could I park there if I drove my 80 year old father to the supermarket - or whether they are just for parents with small children, in which case, how small?

sadietoo Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Saying "You and I" when you mean "You and me". Saying "You and me" when you mean "You and I", especially in songs just to make the lyrics rhyme - I can be heard shouting at the radio, "YOU AND I!!! YOU AND I!!!!". Oooh that reminds me... People who use "myself" and "yourself" when they mean "me" and "you" ( as in.."I spoke to yourself a few days ago" grrr ) The idiot in the old VW Golf, who having tried to undertake me and failed then tried to run me off the road because I wouldn't get out of his way on the A27 a few days ago (I couldn't, there was one of those lorries overtaking other lorries in front of me --- In fact there is a point to that (apparently) if the overtaken lorry is loaded and the one doing the overtaking isn't or has a lighter load then by overtaking it can get a sizeable lead on the more heavily loaded one..until of course the driver has to stop for his obligatory break (required by law) then the other one goes past again ) Cleaning products that promise the earth and deliver nothing (CIF Stainless Steel cleaner in my opinion is rubbish - best for Stainless steel without a doubt Astonish at a fraction of the price...It's cost me a fortune to discover this but I pass this tip on free gratis!) I've already put Hypocritical Americans in.. can I put them in again?. I'm pleased to see that Sarah Kennedy is already in..She makes me shout at the Radio and that can't be right!!!

Sam Palmer Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Dash In A Real Rush Hurry Or Else Accident!! DIARRHOEA Brilliant. All those times over the years when I've been writing absence notes for school, made several attempts at the 'D' word, given up and written 'the runs' instead because there hasn't been time to look it up in the dictionary!

We stopped using them when our children were old enough to do up their own seat belts safely Definitely Sarah Kennedy, can't stand the fact she now starts at 5am as when I'm working nights I now have to put up with her for an hour before home time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Non blue badge holders who park in disabled spaces. They've got the space, how about taking the disability as well!!!! I'll second that and add to it: People who don't have children using the designated spaces for drivers with smallsters. I sometimes use the parent and child spaces when all the disabled spaces are full (I have a blue badge and so does my mum and we usually go out together so we are a parent and child! ). The disabled spaces are usually full of people who don't have blue badges! I've resisted adding to this thread so far but it's too tempting! -People who stand right behind you at the checkout when you're trying to pay. I said "are you standing so close because you're going to pay for my groceries for me?" to the last one! -Oneupmanship, those types that whatever you've done or have, they've done/had it better. I call them 'Mary Poppins' because they think they're 'practically perfect in every way'. -People who totally lack empathy, just because you can shake off illness etc without batting an eyelid, doesn't mean everyone can. -The constant flow of local take-away menus through the door. -The expression 'get a life!', usually used by people who have a slim hold on grammar. I would never dream of saying to you, 'get an education!' -People who misuse and abuse any sort of power they have. -Those queuing systems that make you walk up and down and up and down before you get to the til. Especially annoying if there's no queue! -People at the back of a checkout queue who dash to an open til when a new one is opened up instead of letting the people in front go first. They've been waiting longer than you and it's so ignorant! That also applies to not letting people with only 2 or 3 items go ahead of you, especially if they are old. I always let them go ahead of me but then I'm probably annoying other people behind me, tough! -People with prams who have them half hanging off the kerb while waiting to cross the road! -Youngters who saunter across the road when there is oncoming traffic, with a defiant look on their face ,and it is always young people who do it! -People who don't clear up after themselves in cafes and restaurants that have signs saying to clear your table after you; like McDonalds or Ikea. -People who let their children chuck food around in restaurants and expect someone else to clear it up. -People who never know when to shut up!

chickencam Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Graham Norton and Dale Winton, it has been a week for the CD player Dr's surgery who tell you that your repeat prescription won't be ready until after 2pm, 48 hours after you order it, send an email confirmation that just says the usual dealing with your request, so you turn up after 2pm to find that that day they closed at 12.30pm. why couldn't they have added to their message everyone who ordered on Tuesday will have to wait until Friday, then no wasted journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lady that I worked with when I was a teenager would admire her skirt as it was very (and this has to be said in a Liverpudlian accent) "vertasile." I still have to think carefully before saying the correct word. Sorry - off now before I hijack the thread and kill it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
