throbber Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Parents who put Peppa Pig or whatever on their phone and prop it up for a toddler to watch in the middle of a restaurant. Social workers should be on patrol and armed so that they can dispatch these utter wasters and then hand the child over to adopters.What part of this gets on your nerves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arabdownunder Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Woman sitting next to me at work has used the phrase "...for all intensive purposes.." twice in the last ten minutes Edited July 12, 2019 by Arabdownunder 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Woman sitting next to me at work has used the phrase "...for all intensive purposes.." twice in the last ten minutesAmazing how common it is to hear this. They're the same people that get the 'just' of what you're saying and are on 'tenderhooks' when you don't tell them something. Reminds me of a woman I used to work with who was always asking people if they could be more pacific when describing something! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Having a wee cold. Went to sleep with a horrible feeling in the back of my throat, woke up blowing my nose all the time and a sore head.Also, English c***s that ask where you're from and at the response Scotland go '... Huh... Neighbours. Not to me you're not you fucking wee c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to combine it with reflective sunglasses so they can't make eye contact either. Why do random strangers feel a need to start a conversation? Unless you're my doctor, my boss or a member of my immediate family, you have nothing to say that I need to hear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone flags me down while running I expect it to be for some life or death thing at the very least, not to ask for directions or what the f*cking time is!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could play shut the f**k up and eat your food before I beat the f**k out you like me and my dad did when I was wee? Even as a youngster I had a ruthless streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 What exactly do you want the parents to play with her in the middle of a restaurant? Conversation with her, keeping her amused by chatting. This used to be "a thing", engaging with your kids. Even tossers like me managed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
