Today I'm angry about.....

[Bruce Rioja]

Now if we could only get them to stop using that quatre-vingt-dix-neuf nonsense for 99.

Indeed, that and seize-cent-soixante-quatre for Kronenbourg!

[thebish]

And another thing. People in shops asking the person behind the counter "Can I get a (latte, book on bee-keeping, whack in the chops etc) rather than asking "Please may I have....? or saying "I'd like....". No, you can't 'get' anything. Where the feck do you think you are?

yes - bob-on - it's american and sounds utterly rude - and makes me very cross!!!!!!

[thebish]

today i am angry about people who use ridiculously stupid and wrong words instead of the obvious one for no-fecking-apparent-reason..

todays 1000-time repeated example on the radio...

an UPLIFT of troops

feck off!!!!!

You mean like "does it "engage" you" rather than "do you like it"?

oooh you wag!

[thebish]

ok - today I am unreasonably enraged by the football tense... (as I often am)

I am often enraged by the very common..

"he's went straight past him"
"the ref's give it, so that's that"

but today I heard a pundit commenting on the arse-citeh game - and saying how the first half was no great-shakes - and he actually said - verbatim - I kid you not - exactly - word-for-word...

"We haven't saw much from Citeh in the first half"

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[ratbert]

Shop assistants who say in a mildly threatening and up close manner, "can I help you?" as soon as you set foot in their shop. Roughly translated as, "if you're not spending any money in here, f**k off"

And if I see that sodding "do you dream in chocolate?" ad on TV again...

I cannot foooooking stand it!

I always put bbc on when I awaken, but as soon as im up getting ready she switches to itv!?

i can hear the dross warbling on in the background while im brushing my teeth n'that, then when I return to put me socks on I find myself watching... like a 13 year old girl who wanted to be a glamour model being interviewed by Andrew Castle - and her big fat dobber mum was there on the sofa too saying she is supporting her and is saving her dole money to pay for her daughter to have a boob job!

Then I snap out of it, grumble to myself and storm off shaking my head at how fukking shit this programme is and what sort of people could possibly ever watch it!

And… I hate all the presenters, especially Ben Sh!thead & that Richard ‘im a c unt’ Arnold!

Agreed, totally. However, they get approx 6m viewers per show while BBC Breakfast gets around 1.5m, so more disagree than agree.

so much for democracy.

Dont put the tele on in the morning. Infact why do you put the tele on in the morning?

It's weird, they're very successful at that kind of selling in the states, engaging the customer as they come in or having browsed. But over here it really does translate as a sod off. It puts me off, doesn't make me angry though. It sends me online

im uncomfortable in a room where there is a tv, and its not on! Doesn’t feel right.

i dont even turn it off if we have guests, just turn it down a bit.

It’s very rare that im in a shop just browsing - i usually know exactly what im buying, I have probably researched it online beforehand. So I like to be able to breeze in grab what I came for a leave without any hassle. I also don’t wanna take out insurance, open a store card, or buy some shoe polish or enter a competition when im at the friggin checkout either!

See General, you should run your home like an old-fashoned pub; seperate rooms for things, snug, lounge and tap room etc. Lots of people around me have knocked connecting walls down in a bid to make their lounges look big and spacious. Means those in there have to watch what others watch or be forever arguing. I'm for the two rooms seperate; that way the wife watches all her crap and I get away from it all. Tele, pc and music centre are all around me and the 'jungle, Big Brother and X Factor malarky can fxxk right off. Don't get wrong ideas; it's a semi in Farnworth, not a mansion, but it suits me fine.

I'm with you there... and the slighly MORE annoying abbreviation to the assinine "help you?" with added irritation upward inflection at the end....

I know. If I wanted a store card I'd ask.

I hate being asked to buy bloody extended warranties as well. Once you say no, that should be it. Not "Are you sure? Its your own risk if it breaks". Christ they sell these things for items that if they break I'd just replace anyways, usually at less cost than the insurance/warranty!
