Small things that annoy me.

The Press who use the term Mother/Grandmother for women but never for men, they have professions etc. Eg: Grandmother wins lottery (I wish) or Estate Agent wins lottery, never Father or Grandfather wins lottery - the press are ageist and sexist .

People who insist their off lead dogs are friendly and just want to play, as the dog is running at you and your nervous dog at a rate of knots

Actually Camy I just love someone placing food in front of me - I really don't care what they say

Being ordered to ‘Enjoy!’ by someone placing food in front of me.

Surely you join hands in the normal way at the start, but then cross them over when you sing "And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere and gie's a hand o’ thine! ""

How could I forget this one!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,
and gie's a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

These are the words. Do not sing any others, do not join hands until the appropriate verse, and, obviously, no ‘ Old Lang Zyne’

Actually, I believe the correct American and Canadian spelling is 'aluminum' - whereas 'mischievious' is not.

There IS a difference between North American and British English and their spellings. I don't honestly feel we can blame our Canadian/US friends for long-established differences in spelling.

But I have found one thing, not allied to any specific race, which annoys the doo-dah out of me.

It is the constant ignorance about the heart pictogram and how to use/pronounce it.

The picture opposite it NOT said, 'I heart dogs' - that makes no sense whatsoever.

The heart pictogram stands for the word 'love' = 'I love dogs'.

There is even a ridiculous, 'I Heart Radio' What? Is it a cardio-vascular music station?

I shall now lie ☟ in a darkened room.

Anyone who uses the term my good lady or my good lady wife

Oh, and nom, nom. How could I forget that? Unless you’re the Cookie Monster, why say it?

People who can fit the word “like” 10 times into a 20 word sentence. And VAR. These are DH’s pet hates tbh, but I have to suffer the rants!

For me, it’s people going with their gut. Gut instinct, gut feeling, fine. Gut on its own, no!

People that use strikethrough.

Arrogant people who think the sun shines out of their backsides. A lot of what has been already mentioned. Cold plates in restaurants. Everyone assuming you like butter (I hate it!) People who take up two parking spaces. The list goes on................

Restaurant staff who serve your food and then return when you've barely had time to take the first mouthful to ask, "Everything ok, guys?"

Eating out at a restaurant, receiving my food and being told to enjoy it. Is that regardless of it being cooked well ?

I rather be called 'You guys' than 'Lovely' which makes me feel about 105!

"Drawring" is common in England along with "lor and ohdah", in other words adding an r where there isn't one and missing out the r which is there at the end of a word.

Another one I notice is using an n instead of ng at the end of words like "endin". Priti Patel does that all the time and I find her very annoying - a lot of things about her, not just her accent.

.

I used to get told off for saying drawring and I was always worried to say roaring incase that was wrong too!

I agree with most of the posts here!

Oh and people who say drarwing instead of drawing. It seems to be becoming more common to insert and extra r into draw, drawing etc.

People who walk along the pavement so occupied with their mobile phones that the walk straight into you.

It annoys me to find I have wasted hours fiddling with a screen - again!

That’s how I feel Flowerette, thank you

Nobody should EVER ( sorry to shout just want to emphasise ) stop telling your loved ones you love them ... never ever ever ❤️❤️❤️

Yep, all of those, and one daughter calls me "mom" which I hate and the other daughter says "you guys" which I also hate

“Ok guys “
“Hun “

Currently, I'm being crazy by news journalists, politicians and many others who speak of being "anti-Semetic" rather than anti-Semitic.
