Things that annoy you that shouldn't

If someone has been kind enough to acknowledge your bereavement however they phrase it why would you think it acceptable to be a smartarse and put them down as in floradora's example of Sue Black?
Just rude.

Peope speaking about " bits and bobs " makes no sense to me . Calling the ground ( outside ) the floor . Giving children silly names like Autumn and making up a new spelling for a perfectly normal name . I disline " passed " as well or telling someone you are sorry someone has " lost " a relative when they have died. I remember rerading the lovely Sue Black replying to someone who said this to her and she replied that she knew exactly where her father was he was not lost. Sue , if you do not know , is a well known Scottish forensic scientist .

Actually I don’t mind being called ‘You guys’ Doesn’t make me feel ancient like when they say “All right lovely”?

The Prime Minister

My husband ranting about the Prime Minister

Being called, “You guys”

Apostrophes in the wrong place

Music being played badly

The fact that my jeans seem to be shrinking

Sorry- I have just proved them right with my rubbish typingt

A few of us, all female, went out for a meal after work recently and as we entered the restaurant, the person said 'Hi guy's be with you in a second'.
We were seated when the person returned saying 'What can I get you guy's to drink?'.

Please...I loathe it!

Agree. Even worse my friend and I, both well in our sixties, were constantly referred to as girls by a young male waiter recently. It felt patronising even though he was probably trying to be friendly.

Females who constantly tuck their hair behind their ears, please please invest in hairgrips, it is so annoying.

HowVeryDarYou Iagree with all of you, I will add to that people who are 20 years and more younger me, talking in exaggerated and slow tones as though being in my mid seventies , I don’t understand much. Victor Meldewmoi- never

DH explaining things to me in immense detail. When I know the answer all along. Is it called ‘mansplaining?

Young men with trousers hanging down their arse; I am tempted to pull them up like I did to my son when he was 3.
Abbreviations online; does it really take longer to type to/too instead of 2?
Words which make my teeth itch such as fur baby hubby hubs/hubster chunks moist
All the usual late middle age rage things like litter, eating with mouth open.
Golly, this thread could run and run

Oh and sloppy punctuation, apostrophe misuse or absence.

Crappy celebrity magazines

Stop...

'signposting'

‘Hoskepel’ (or similar) for ‘hospital’.

???
Never heard that one !
Scousers say “Ozzie” for hospital ?.

‘Hoskepel’ (or similar) for ‘hospital’.

Caleo, I don't understand how it's lazy to pronounce a letter that's not even in the word 'hour'!!!

I believe mayisay, that you and Caleo are at crossed purposes.

Having grown up in Scotland I took it she was objecting to people saying ou-wers instead of hours, pronouced like "ours".

And if that is what you meant, Caleo, I heartily agree with you.

What I find worse, and "lazy" is the "r" that is being said, but not written in words like "draw" and "drawing". There is not anything called a "drawring" in any standard form of the English language, although it may well exist in some regional forms.

And drivers who don't indicate at junctions/roundabouts!

Being referred to as "guys"
"Can I get" when asking for a coffee/drink/food in a pub/cafe/shop.
People who don't know the difference between their/they're and there.
the same people who don't know the difference between
Loose/Lose
furbaby/hubby/holibobs, etc.
Drivers who don't wave to acknowledge that I let them through.

Absolutely all of the above except passed to mean dead. I'm a fan of passed, seems gentler to me and I'm not going to stop saying it now.

Skuuwal for school is one to add to my list...drives me nuts!

Abbreviations in text messages (text speak)
Sniffing - drives me mad
The over-use of acronyms on Gransnet!
The baying and shouting during debates in Parliament

Everything. I am becoming Victor Meldrew.

And I'm Vicky Meldrew!
Oh this is right up my street today. How long have you got?
Older people being blamed for spoiling the planet when so many 'these days' (yes, even started to use that phrase) buy outdoor heaters, hot tubs that waste vast amounts of water, go through plastic nails without a thought.....
So bloody angry today(neighbour hammering and renovating next door all ungodly hours) Grrrr!
Think I should change my username. ?

Oh and people who write chest of draws.

Text messages saying Yeah.

People who 'loose' (set free?) their keys, or any other item make me lose control!

I say owers but then I am from Southend ( but born in Bath) and you all know what ignorant slobs we all are.
My excuse is: I live less than 10 mins by car from the Golden Mile ?

People who say 'owers' instead of 'hours', including presenters on tv and radio, who really should know better! IMO.

I remember reminding a friend that we had an extra hour in the morning as the clock was changing. A man in our company asked me what I meant and after I repeated it he said he still didnt know what I meant. When we explained he very condescendingly said Oh you mean ower.

He thought you meant 'morrning'

Me to so it's an ower not an hawr. Grass rhymes with ass not arse.
