I guess you mean drivers, yes I agree, and they pull up so sharp to do it, you nearly run into the back of them.

I think we've followed the same person.

my god

its took 2 hours to get on pc tonight

google chrome was unresponsive and crashed every time

People who add an 's' onto things (usually shop names) unnecessarily. It's not Asdas, it's not Tescos and it's not Bootses.

Bugs my brains (<---haha)

Irritating people on trains.
The train I get on,there are no allocated seats so I make sure I get there early and get myself a good seat, then annoying people end up taking the seats around me This guy got on late/sat behind me and he let his 2 little kids run up and down the aisle and cry/yell for pretty much the whole journey and he (the parent) just ignored them! Then another man sat next to me and started loudly clicking the joints in his fingers/hands it was a horrible noise - gross.

New words that sound like words that we already had but have (in most cases) the opposite meaning to the words they sound like.

I am referring to words like phat and sic.

This is how the conversation used to go.

Person A: That girl is very attractive.
Person B: Yes, she certainly is.

Now the convversation goes like this

Person A: That girl is really phat.
Person B: She could probably do with losing a couple of pounds but I wouldn't call her fat.
Person A: I didn't mean fat as in her weight. I meant phat as in the fact that she looks sic.
Person B: if she looks sick then she shouldn't be at work. She should be at home in bed.

Can't we just go back to the old words that made sense? Do we really need more confusion in our lives?

Showing your age there... No one says phat anymore, not since the early noughties haha

My bad

Words even seem to have a life cycle these days

You're so right. By the way, isn't it time 'my bad' was relegated to the dustbin too?

I like "my bad" as a quick way of (1) acknowledging you've done something that with a bit of thought you'da known it wasn't a great thing to do and (2) you'll hopefully not do it again.

One from me - people standing in the common hallway of my tower block (yup MY tower block!!) talking loudly and bothering me - it's NOT their voices that miffs me the most, but the fact they're talking in non-English, so I'm sat here thinking, well if you're gonna be disrupting my peaceful interneting at least you could do so in a language I can understand so I know what you're all heated up about

ive never heard that phrase before until reading pc forums lol

People banging on about how Aldi is the best supermarket ever and how everything is cheaper and better than other supermarkets.

It's become a kind of reverse snobbery to say you go to Aldi. Yes they do some things which are cheaper than Asda but other things aren't. Yes they do some things which are just as nice as other supermarkets but they also do a lot of stuff which isn't.

I'm getting sick of my parents and my in laws constantly saying, 'How much do you pay for such and such? Oooh it's only so much in Aldi.' I couldn't care less because I'm not so bleeding tight for a few pence that I have to go out of my way to scrimp a few pennies.

I think it's like they're trying to justify shopping there by trying to convince everyone that it's somehow better than anywhere else when in fact the real reason they shop there is because it's cheap.

I think you're overlooking the joking, friendly way in which the lady probably meant that comment.

My google chrome crashes too but not for two hours! Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?

think it was the weather, as my sister had trouble with hers too last night..very windy here last night ..seems ok ish today..going out soon, so maybe i wont be able to get back on

Adolescent boys. Not only are their pants at half mast but now they've dropped the saddle on pushbikes. Are they trying to lower everything to the level of their perceived IQ?

If I'd have climbed on to a table in the middle of Asda today and shouted out the most abusive, offensive thing I could think of, i suspect i'd have got slightly less hostility than I did today for daring to try and get through the store quickly because i was limited for time due to needing to get a bus.

People ambling around with their head in the clouds giving me the major evil eye because I was trying to get through and get past people without actually barging my way past - which I got very tempted to do at one point !

People who smile and say "well things could be worse" makes me want to punch them.

(though I do wish I could be that way )

Customers at work who were something is, gives you an idea if you read the signs above the aisle. And if they ask for something they have walked past or is right in front of them *rolleyes*

On opening up a pack of Christmas cards, finding that there are not an equal amount of cards and envelopes in the pack.

Clingfilm.

[quote=jra;70300882]Lidl and Aldi (my local ones anyway) have a selection of carrier bags placed near the checkout, so if you need a bag or three you just grab them. They'll charge you a few pence for each one, but I use them for other purposes, so no big deal. I can do recycling me (paraphrased from Brainiac).[/QUOTE


in Tesco they don't offer you a bag because they aren't allowed to keep any of the proceeds and buggered if theyre collecting plastic bag tax for govt.

and kitchen foil, and sellotape..you know when you can't find the end as it tapes back on the other bit..Kitchen foil if it rips and goes all bitty and unwinds round the roll lol..and cling film as you said when again the end gets twisted round the roll, and you can't find the other bit..erughh lol

I thought that at first, But there was a real nastiness about her and the way she said it. You know how you can tell someone is messing on....She certainly didn't appear to be

Foil I can handle. Sellotape is fine once it's tamed on a Sellotape holder!

The trouble being, is your parents and in-laws are right and you can save a lot more than a few pennies at Aldi. Similarly with Lidl.

And cheap doesn't necessarily mean bad.
