Small things that annoy me.

One that I find irritating when I can be bothered is people saying ‘purchased’ instead of ‘bought’. Why? It sounds so pretentious somehow. ‘I purchased the property’ instead of ‘bought a house’ .

At least most people don’t buy houses very often, but some people purchase shoes, or chocolate.

I don’t know why it rankles, as I think it is correct usage, if a bit ‘legalese’, but it does.

People who think I am the official door opener, so when they pass through they don't have to thank me.

Also people who think I am invisible because I am a certain age.

People who get angry because Greggs bring out some vegan product - they don’t have to buy it.

My OH he’s 5’7 and getting smaller and I’m 5’8 that’s the small thing that annoys me! Only joking sweetheart ?

‘ Love you to the moon and back’, and also the ‘ love you!’ at the end of a phone call.

‘ Beautiful inside and out’

The news reporter this morning who said, "... she can now return back to her home ..."

I annoy my brother by saying samwidge instead of sandwich.

But I am from the Birmingham area, if that excuses me!

However, so is he.

suzied I think one fast food chain, could be Burger King, has just brought out a vegan and a vegetarian burger.

However, they are apparently not suitable for vegans or vegetarians because of the way they are cooked.
You couldn't make it up if you tried

I presume they won't pay out to install separate grills.

It is samwich, isn't it?
Or is that because I'm from the Midlnds too?

Actually, I do say samwich not samwidge.
Perhaps I'm posh, all those elocution lessons at school.

People who get angry because Greggs bring out some vegan product - they don’t have to buy it.

God, yes. And then rant about how vegetarians and vegans shouldn't want the convenience of 'sausage' or 'burger' shaped foodstuffs.

Eat them if you want to, ignore them if you don't, but why risk a stroke by getting so angry about what others are eating?

Where to start.
Excitable sports commentators who use words like medalling and podiuming.
Same sports commentators who shove a microphone in a competitor's face saying "how do you feel the race went" when interviewing someone who just come 4th
Behaviour of politicians in Parliament. Of all colours.
Pretentious management speak and latest buzz words such as existential and triangulation.
People who can't say the following words. "Sorry" "Thank you" "Please"
Wittering woman who block supermarket aisles for purposeful shoppers.
Drunk people who think they are funny.
AND people who leave public/work toilets in a state or don't check after flushing that all has gone away.

Not a grouch honestly.

And people that moan moan moan about a particular programme but won’t switch it off if you don’t like it, Don’t watch it

People who say 'mindset'. Skillset and Very much so

DH hates ' reaching out to you' he says it makes his bum cheeks go funny

Hand up ...I’m guilty off hubby!
People writing the word with to wit grrr
Eating with mouth open
Coughing or sneezing then wiping it on there clothes?
Not picking up dogs mess
Spitting
Call centres...press1 or press2 etc

Oh god yes reaching out Such an awful phrase, it sets my teeth on edge. Likewise ‘going forward’ - although I was horrified to hear those words coming out of my mouth recently.

Aah reaching out definitely

Luckygirl, you can get stick on shower hook so you can hang shower gel in shower or a basket to hold bottles

Maybe your local health visitor can help by sending an occupational therapist round as they could put in a handrail for you in the shower and supply a shower chair

I dont like "we are all winners" I think the person that actually won deserves recognition.

‘Meeting with’ and ‘work colleague’ grate on me.

You have to be with someone to meet them, and colleagues are people you work with!

When the word signpost is used as a verb.

Media types who say "off the back of" .

Politicians that say "the truth of the matter is" ,knowing the next words are unlikely to be that
