101 Things that get on our tits but don't actually matter in the slightest.
-
39. Being called 'fam' by a student in a lesson today. Fuck off grotbags.
40. Talking to an absolute twat at a party and they're the fucker looking over my shoulder to see if there's someone more important/less boring to speak to. When I'm only speaking to the complete twat because the host asked me to, as they've stood on their own for 10 minutes. When someone tells you that career-wise they're a 'digestive tract technician' and then has the nerve to...oh why am I getting so wound up?
41. When someone from the bank calls me and then asks me to confirm my details. I didn't want the bloody phone-call and now you're asking me to prove who I am. Who are you with your pleasant Geordie tone and inane platitudes about how my day's been. Fuck off and peddle your home insurance deals to someone else.
42. People that park in disabled parking spaces but aren't disabled in any way.
43. People who've eaten themselves into a situation where they can use disabled parking spaces.
Angry day today. -
52a) People that moan about other people moaning in a thread about moaning about things that don't really matter.

Its down to what is in common usage. It is common for Paris to be pronounced Paris, Nice as Neece,Chile as Chilly.How would saying Paree be weird if that were the norm? How is that any different to Chilly being the norm instead of Chilay?Kow wrote:No paree would be weird. You say Neece though, don't you, not Nice?
My point is that sometimes people pronounce things a certain way because they don't know better.
I dont speak a word of French. I have no idea of the correct pronunciation of Neeece. But I do know how everyone around me says it. And thats not Nice thats Neeeece. Ditto Chilleh. Im speaking English, its not my job to know how a word is pronounced in its native country.
You try to enlighten people...

I'm too drunk to approach this coherently. I'm just going to suppose you've all covered everything pertinent. -
In retrospect it seems absurd that we stopped playing kiss chase just before the age where kissing girls became something we wanted to do.Moot_Geeza wrote:Kiss Chase was like dobby, but a bit rapey. -
It reached a stalemate once when I asked them to confirm their details first. I mean, how do I know they're from the bank?Stopharage wrote:41.

It was just a joke mate. Regional variations innit.Tempy wrote:It/tig/tag/dob/dobby whatever - they're all valid. In fact, there, that can be another thing that's annoying, when something is able to be described by multiple words but people insist one is right.

I've always said 'zee' instead of 'zed' despite being otherwise aggressively British and never once having put my carcass on US soil. I dare say this would fucking infuriate somebody.

Just stubbed toe on guitar case en route to khazi, definitely not happy about that

I do this sometimes. It's inexplicable and I'm furious with myself when I do it.Brooks wrote:I've always said 'zee' instead of 'zed' despite being otherwise aggressively British and never once having put my carcass on US soil. I dare say this would fucking infuriate somebody.

I, furious. -
Some older people in NI say ah-zed instead of just zed. It's rather endearing.
Packaging that is poorly designed and so falls apart on opening; thus failing at one of its primary objectives - too keep the contents in one place and in good condition.
The non-standards that car manufacturers seem to enjoy employing. How many different ways can you design a car headlight bulb holder?Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -

Engrish is consistently hilarious but also kind of annoying insofar as it's a demonstration of language being deployed as the shallowest kind of marketing device. It would cost fuck all to get your shit together, Asia.

@monkey
That is total bullshit. You need to make yourself accountable for your own typos by admitting your error in an edit note. Especially if someone has gone to the effort of taking the piss out of said error. -
Zee makes a lot more sense. -
Haitch (ie not aitch for 'h') really massively annoys the wife.

If I edit my post again, then this quoted post will look stoopid. There's no way out now. We're too far down the rabbit hole.Paul the sparky wrote:@monkey

I make a point of saying Zed even for so-called clear cut cases like Jay Zed. Yeah I'm something of a bell-end, in fairness.
-
As a kid Zed annoyed me. Even before I knew yanks called it zee I wanted to call it zee. It fits with all the other letters (it's not Bed or Ded or Ged ) and it rhymes better.

I bounce between the two. I'm barely aware of it. /shameful -
Just looked at that cryptic crossword thread and remembered that cryptic crosswords get on my tits.

Bad shopping trolley etiquette. Don't stop suddenly and don't leave your massive trolley in the middle of the aisle at a slight angle so that I have to reach over and move your trolley.
And remain at least a little bit aware when you're trying to decide what you want. If someone approaches the shelf, move out the way a bit.
And don't use the trolley to stop other people seeing what's in the woops section. -

Done this before too. Wasn't so much a stalemate as a conversation loop which I gave up on. -
What's a 'woop' section? -
Cheap ie reduced section at asda
