Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Using "Wait" at the start of a sentence/question, my 4 year old has picked this shite up from his older cousins and it is doing my tits in 
Wait! You're telling me grown adults actually do this shit?!

It broke this morning. Lid has gone limp.

Under warranty though so sending a new one. PM me if you want to buy a bin with a broken lid.

Can I have it for work?

Bins are too expensive, apparently, so we always have an open bin bag lying in the corner of the room. Classy.

Directly from youtube. My daughter has also started misusing "apparently".

Dad, you know what?
What? (curiously)
Billy was off school today. And you know what?
What? (tersely)
Miss Grant said he’d broken his leg. And you know what? 
What? (with resignation)

If/when new one arrives will send Mrs along with the broken one.

No yeah. Yeah no. Yeah no. No yeah. Yeah no. No yeah.

This is the adult version of “wait”. Used to notice it in American hipstery podcasts but it is creeping into our speech now too. Seems to have replaced “um” and “eh”.

Maybe not quite so petty. I'm waiting to get served and the assistant is chatting away to a customer he knows after he's served her and it's all paid for, so I have to stand and wait. And wait.  And wait.  And then I decide to take my custom elsewhere.

An auld boy tried to pull this shit at Tesco the other week, he got swiftly telt to bolt.

This was going on at the corner shop the other day but they only let in 2 folk at a time and I was stood waiting to get in while the gadge who had paid for his stuff swung the door open and shut absent mindedly as he continued his blether with the shopkeeper. Was probably only a couple of minutes but felt like an hour.

I often think of things I would like to say but don't have the courage. In a situation like that it would be (to the assistant) "Okay if I just take this then? Thanks!" and start to walk away.

Ok, who's been stealing letters from the thread titles? It is clever, but it's not funny. Put them back and no more will be said..

Eg.
