What's your 'pet hate'

lol Captain. My bad is a funky/hip term used by people going through a mid life crisis and who want to sound younger and cooler than they are.
It's a way of saying "I'm sorry but actually I'm not"

It's creeping in and I've heard people on the box and people I'm in the company of say it. If someone does something wrong they shriek and say "Oh sorry, my bad". At which point I take out my ray gun and vaporise them.

^ Absolutely Pops! 
.. and referring to anyone as "you guys!" (sorry, you just reminded me with the peeps comment)
.. oh and anyone who speaks in full paragraphs of management buzz-speak
"throw it up the flagpole, keep me in the loop, let it perculate, low hanging fruit" and all that sort of talk!

Listen peeps
You're getting all hot under the collar about colloquialisms. Most dudes don't really mind using phrases from other countries because it makes them look a little cooler in front of their mates.
Now this kind of hate against people for using certain phraseology is kinda wrong (if I typed that word incorrectly, then my bad) and shouldn't be allowed.
Anyways I've gotta run

right here we go
The NHS seems to be the European Health Service. Take payer expected to pick up the tab for every Joes treatment
Speed Cameras, ok in their place, but when there are other issues like unlit roads and no cats eyes but we winge about speed
Lorries who nip into the middle lane without indicating
Eastern Europeans driving on our roads wheras British have to take one of the worlds toughest driving tests for the priveledge.
All these PPE qualified politicians who have not the first clue about whats happening on the street and still make life changing and damaging decisions.
I will stop for breath but there will be more i am sure!

It's hardly surprising when the majority of qualified clinical staff are born abroad.

Crumbs, never meant it in that sense, the NHS would struggle without them.
I was referring to people who were never resident here in the UK coming and recieving free expensive treatment lol

Astar, love that you have thought your process through so well even though I usually put milk in afterwards, I am now tempted to switch
My pet hates at this time of writing ... (may change in future as mood dictates)

Me mother for one. She has even done it to my cups! Mind you I drink Yorkshire Tea and it has to be brewed for at least 5 minutes. The spoon must disintegrate when you put it into the cup to remove the bag for it to be of the required strength.

1) People who use the word "text-ses" instead of "texts".
2) People who think that because they've read a business book or two they are qualified to call themselves a "consultant".
3) People who ask questions on forums which could've been answered in about a minute using that snazzy thing called "Google".

That spelling is itself an Americanisation.
People who use "text" as the past tense instead of "texted": "Barry text everyone this morning to let us know he'd be late." It's stupid, it sounds stupid and anyone that uses it sounds stupid too. Barry also needs to get his sh*t together.
Agreed, although our test should be a lot harder than it is. :/

no it wouldn't. You can't account for human error no matter how much you test people and harder tests doesn't mean less people on the road it just means people will spend more passing their tests.
There's nothing wrong with the standard of testing in this country.

Human error is just lack of judgement. People with consistently or naturally poor judgement get filtered. Stupid people get filtered.
And fewer people passing would mean fewer people on the road. Passing a harder test is about being a better driver and has nothing to do with spending more money. Unless you mean bribing the instructor?
