What's your 'pet hate'

[RedEvo]

* People who say "my bad"

YES!! That bugs the hell out of me too. Thank goodness I'm not alone.

Seriously, I have never heard anyone say 'my bad'. What does it mean ?

I forgot a pet UKBF hate. On a daily basis people come on here looking for 'advise' or start threads on 'advise'

Why can't they ask for advice ?

 

[maxine]

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.

Careful now, OWG has used it in some threads, although I'm thinking he'll stop now, although that might be my bad......OK shoot me.

[papverpoppies]

Starting emails addressing readers as 'peeps', it is horrible.

Pops ~xx~

 

[maxine]

^ 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!

 

[internetspaceships]

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)

* People who bleach their cups then don't rinse out properly

Who bleaches their cups? Is that just abnormal?

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) adverts that are delibrately bad!
2) Media hype
3) Radio shows that read out text messages from people who clearly have nothing better to do.

[WJP]

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".

 

[Steve Sellers]

1) People who use the word "text-ses" instead of "texts".

Never heard that one before.

When it comes to textses, I don't mind ppl using txt abbreviations bt wen it dunt even shorten a word dat realy annoys me!

Americanizations

That spelling is itself an Americanisation.

1) People who use the word "text-ses" instead of "texts".

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.

Eastern Europeans driving on our roads wheras British have to take one of the worlds toughest driving tests for the priveledge.

Agreed, although our test should be a lot harder than it is. :/

 

[mit74]

test should be harder? you're kidding right?

We have the safest roads and drivers in the world. No amount of testing is going to remove human error, stupidity and the fact there are too many cars on our roads.

Well spotted Cobby, i hate them with a passion - we are not 'awesome' and we do not 'specialize' or 'organize' ... we are wonderful, we specialise and we organise

if you post on US forums sometimes they tell you you spelt specialize wrong as well

Um, those are pretty much exactly what it would remove.

 

[mit74]

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.

 

[Cobby]

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.

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?

 

[RedEvo]

people who say adverse when they mean averse.

* People who say "my bad"
