1. The retort "well don't watch it then!" when having a discussion (usually on forums) about a tv programme/episode of something I haven't really enjoyed. Or "well what would you have written?" when making a complaint about the script.
2. The names Ellie-Mae, Jayden and Alfie.
3. People who keep chickens as pets. (Seems to be the trendy thing to do at the moment amongst the Boden-type Mums)
4. When young, 'hip and trendy' city couples move to the countryside thinking that it's gonna be like something from The Good Life, then act like the big "I Am" just because they've got a few chickens and a vegetable patch.
5. When couples like the ones mentioned in the previous point give their children really pretentious names, just for it to be something else they can show off about.
6. 'Posh' scousers.
7. This emoticon >> :rolleyes:

I'm guessing you don't like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and his programmes then?
Yes, I know the first thing I do is break bits off to eat it, but even then it irritates me if the bar breaks further down when I snap a chunk off.
Lame, but that's just my little 'thing'.
I'm not 100% sure who is but if he's like points 3 and 4 then probably not.
It's ***** like that Alex James I hate.
TV chef/farmer, encourages people to grow their own veg, keep livestock and buy organic free-range stuff.
Aw but he's lurvly
For me it's Jeremey Clarkson. The man hasn't actually done anything to annoy me, it's just that even hearing his voice makes me want to punch the telly. I've banned Top Gear from the house when I'm around
I've just googled him. I know who he is now. He doesn't seem as bad as the others because he is an actual chef so there would be some real benefits to him moving to the country to grow vegetables etc.
Did he think that's the way people in the north always speak?
Same. I hate buying broken chocolate it just don't feel right.
Maybe it's because he was pissing everyone off beating us all around the head constantly with the school dinners thing and thought that if he was more like Gordon Ramsay then he'd get more popular again?
Kerry Katona
People who say or type "should of.." instead of "should have.." bloody cretins.
Jamie Oliver
Georgia Taylor's character of Dr Ruth Winters on Casualty.
Car drivers who pile all the snow from their driveways onto the pavement, thereby forcing us pedestrians to either climb over four feet of snow, or walk on the road where the very same car drivers will then moan and whine about us walking on their road.
I have mixed feelings on this. There are times when I am on forums (not just this one) where I read something so ridiculously stupid, that the temptation to post a :rolleyes: is not only tempting, but the perfect way to express just how incredulous the comments are.
That said, I do get a bit annoyed when people use it in situations where the comments are perfectly reasoned, but they just don't agree and rather than debate the point with equal reason, they resort to using this emoticon.
In this scenario, it's like the online equivalent of saying ' Talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening', which is an equally deplorable phrase/act.
Oh God I agree with that! It really grates my tits!
Yay! I've finally found someone who understands.
Yep, the snow one really rankles. There's a chap out on my road right now (yep great choice of timing, wait till it's freezing again and even harder to shift), finally shovelling some away from his drive, and in such a considerate manner piling it up across the footpath that runs to the next road. Plank. Can't really grumble though, he never normally lifts a finger to help with the snow.
Can honestly say today was the worst day of the weather so far for me. The walk to and from school with my boys was horrendous. My youngest is probably traumatised for life.
As above and the following
People who go over traffic lights when they are red
Crumbs left in the butter
Text speak in conversations
Jim Davidson
Oh god yes, especially crumbs in the butter. Thankfully one of the good things about splitting up with the girlfriend is that this no longer happens. Miss the sex though
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."
People who think having a relationship is a necessity. They come across as feeble and needy.
Oh and people that put make up on while on the bus.
I would not even know who he was if it wasn't for them.
