Minor things that really piss you off !

[TestMangler]

I have two pet hates (however silly they may be).....

1. People who use the word 'draw' instead of 'drawer'. Someone said on a thread recently, they had a 'draw full of user ids'. No you ******* don't. It's a drawer !!

2. A bloke here at clientco uses the word 'pacific' constantly instead of 'specific'. He says things (ususally at meetings), like, "There's a couple of pacific things we need to discuss)

Both of the above make my ******* blood boil

Anyone else get upset by things they really shouldn't ????

I get upset by people who grow old and intolerant at the same time.

Yes, I saw the thread where you went a bit OTT on someone for the misuse of 'draw'.

Yeah, but you're an agent so no one gives a **** what you think, unless you've got a contract in front of them at an exceptional rate with next to no margin for yourself

The totally poor standard of English among the general populace is frightening.

I can see why it gets on you're goat. Their annoying, are'nt they?

I reckon he's just discovered that Dodgy has been charging him out for £50 per hour and he's only getting a tenner.

On an H&S course the other day, the lecturer kept saying 'pacific' and 'pacificly'. I also noted 'skelington' and 'the aids'. What a hoot that was.

In addition to the above, something trivial that really pi$$es me off is the group of three women standing 3 yards from my desk, itemising every Christmas present that they've bought for each relative and the delivery status of the same.



I wish they'd all STFU and FO, not necessarily in that order.

He needs to invest in some new underwear then, and be prepared to strap the nappy on when asked to.

Absolutely nowt. I'm scottish. Every phrase needs a **** in it. It's like a semi colon to us.
