Another one I hate is when forum members give their children online nicknames. I go on another forum where this happens an awful lot. Someone on there has just started referring to their child as 'Toad' having previously always referred to them by their real name.
I cannot stand the way people call their partners "my OH" Jesus it grates on me so much and I don't know why. I think it's the implication that they aren't a whole person without their partner. Ugh it's totally vomit inducing. I know it's irrational, I don't care though.
I think there is a depressed mafia in the UK now, and it's being made worse by people on the internet.
People who talk about forums as if it's like a wee house or something. "I'm just popping over to x-factor" it's a bit creepy, again, I have no idea why it bothers me. Infact, people taking forums seriously, that irritates me. Sorry DS.
My god, are you me??
Add to that, all those tards who refer to their "OH" as Mr or Mrs [their username].

This has made me think. I would NEVER use the phrase "other half" when I talk about my partner - particularly for the reasons that you state. However I have used "OH" on forums. I think it's just easy to type...
I won't do it any more
But I'm never very sure how to refer to him anyway. I am 36 and he is 40, so "boyfriend" just seems wrong. "Partner" seems a bit businessy, but that tends to be the word I use.
Lorraine Kelly, kissin arse on the sofa, 'golf is great!' er, is it? why dont you play it then Lorraine if it's that great? Then she slags people off in her newspaper column.
Most adverts. They are full of bull. The washing powder one where they put the socks together then wash them to prove the stains come out. It doesn't work, that's why they're called STAINS!stop lying!!
And that goes for animal flea treatments you can buy, usually at inflated prices. Dont work!

She does do that doesn't she!?! I don't know how she gets away with it.

People who make facebook profiles for their newborn babies - I know two people who have done this.
People who mean to say 'specifically' but say 'pacifically'
People coughing up phlegm in public. STOP IT. Even worse if they spit it on the pavement - use a tissue! Or if you don't have one do it in some undergrowth but not in the middle of the street.
Sorry that's so many! Phew, it was good to get it all out though. I had to stop myself because the list is endless!
She does do that doesn't she!?! I don't know how she gets away with it.
I wanna see one of them she's slated, confront her on the sofa! lol
I also find it annoying when someone on a forum sticks their nose in a row, trying to sit on the fence & not take sides then says 'I hope I haven't offended anyone' and then puts a stupid heart icon & smiley icons that hand out flowers :mad:
That's not on here btw, on another forum I lurk on..

The worst is when she's slagging someone off who she'd interviewed the week before having been as nice as pie to them then. What a bitch.

But I'm never very sure how to refer to him anyway. I am 36 and he is 40, so "boyfriend" just seems wrong. "Partner" seems a bit businessy, but that tends to be the word I use.
I also hate people saying "hubby". Bleugh.
See I hate the word partner. Maybe its because I'm 19, and so still young. But my therapist always refered to my gf as " your partner". It always annoyed me and I think it showed because eventually she you start to say partner and the change to gf. So it came out as "your pa- girlfriend".
Though I don't know what I'll say when I'm older, I suppose I'll have to say partner.
People who say they "take" or "don't take" a certain food rather saying that they eat it or like or don't like it. It sounds terrible and a bit clinical :mad:

People (usually from the north of england) who leave the 's' off of the end of the word when talking about a period of time that was more than one (eg: 'it was about 3 week ago'.. instead of sayin 3 weeks)
People who point out what you're eating!...My manager has a habit of telling me exactly what I'm eating just as i'm about to gorge myself! I'll placing my daily Wispa into my mouth and she'll say 'Having a Wispa eh?'..........Of course I am you fricking moron, points for observation! Now P*** off and let me eat it in peace....
Hen Parties......we get it, yr an independant woman and can have any man you desire. Now why the hell does the whole of Oxford town center have to hear you and yr mates screeching and generally acting like tw*ts trying to prove the point?!!
UGG Boots.......As a self confessed shoe addict (you should see my wardrobe) who loves pretty things, I cannot for the life of me think of a painful enough punishment for the person who thought UGG Boots would be a fashionable and cute addition to the high street.....they're ridiculous! You look like a child wearing them out.
People walking silently up behind you to your desk. I find it rude when they lean over yr shoulder and start barking instructions with no prior warning of their arrival. It's rude and you know it is.
DS Posters.....A few of you I like...the rest of you I think are utter 'tools'
I've just thought of something else that REALLY annoys me: people who say / write (usually in FB updates) "nom" when they think something they're eating is delicious.

Women who wear clothes that are clearly too small for them
There is more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Going purely on the thread title, this really is something that irks, but I know it shouldn't. It's not something that really matters in life, but it just makes me grrrrr.
Ms.
There, I've said it. When I was single I was a Miss, now I'm married I'm a Mrs. I do not like Ms. My 6 year old has a Ms for his teacher this year. He just refers to her as Mrs. How the hell do I explain Ms to a 6 year old?
I must say that although I agree Uggs aren't the most elegant items of footwear in my wardrobe, they really are the warmest. Even walking in over a foot of snow for an hour last week my toes were blissfully warm. I have no other boots that would be able to do that.

I hate this too, although as I get older I find being a mum and a miss a bit cringe sometimes too. Why can't we be like men and maintain the same status throughout our lives?
I agree. It has its uses, but those who use it at the drop of a hat may as well write "I can't come up with a constructive reply, so I'll just belittle you and make myself look like a knob."
This not only made me laugh, but it is so true and accurate It is the ultimate debate ending emoticon.
I also hate that patronising bollocks, "ahh bless".

How do you feel about people leaving the final 'g' off words? Sorry, couldn't resist - I know it was just a typo. I hope.

Oh and I won't buy a broken chocolate bar either!
Those "peel and re-seal" packages where the "lid" rips when you try to peel it back, rendering any "re-seal" properties void
Perhaps. Or perhaps they're just a bandwagon jumping idiot.
