I came down from up North to live in Birmingham 14 years ago, and was amazed at how many Brummies write and say "mom". Until then, I thought it was American only.
My bugbear at the moment is public transport. Train times are not in sync with bus/tram times so if your transport to the station is even remotely late you can easily miss the train! Also as another poster said people who waste time stopping the bus at a stop right by the previous one it has just stopped at, or even the occasional irritant who actually boards the bus for that very short journey! Used to despise the buses in my uni town, where if it was particularly late it would just try and pass it off as being early for the next scheduled departure! I notice they sometimes do this with trains too. Apologies for the essay on public transport. |

When someone posts information on a thread and instantly people post stuff like "proof?" "Link" not everyone that posts on a thread is out to deceive people- and when a source is provided no one apologises for the doubt

How whenever the word Mom is mentioned anywhere on this forum the Mom vs Mum = evil Americanisms debate starts up. I swear we need a sticky at the top of the forum to settle that debate once and for all. Also we should have one to tell people what BIB means.

Annoying shouting women especially when you've had a break from them for two weeks and they come back to work and immediately SHOUT FOR TWENTY MINUTES about their tedious lives.

The fact that we have different postmen in our area, and they come round at different times. You never know which it will be so for the few days where you are expecting a delivery you cant go out or even go to the toilet without missing the postman!
That added to the fact that when you order something you get a rough estimate of delivery if youre lucky. So you have a span of up to five days when you have to be waiting. |

Being told to "cheer up" or "smile" just because my relaxed face isn't a happy cheerful one.

The current fashion for using the term "feral", whether it's applicable or not.

People who make every sentence they speak sound like a question.
People who use the word 'like' as a pause. Men wearing flip-flops in pubs. Retards who keep revving their car or bike engine at road junctions and traffic lights. Skateboards. Is it really impossible to make silent ones? |

When you drop something by accident and someone puts in on a wall/railingl or shelf in a supermarket. How the hell are you going to find it now????
If they left it on the floor you can scan the streets or isles where you have been quickly, but no they hide it from you and think they are doing you a favour. I have taken a couple of gloves off walls and thrown them back on the floor so the owner has a chance.

I'd also like to add the trend of clapping at funerals.... or rather the funeral procession. The first time I remember seeing this was when Princess Diana died. More recently Maggie Thatcher. I remember even on Coronation Street when it was Jack Duckworth's funeral they clapped as the hearse left the street. To me the clapping always sounds like they are saying "Yay you are dead" rather than a mark of respect.

The incredibly unfunny "joke" suggestions people are making for a name for the Royal baby.

All the fawning that goes on when a royal has a baby.
All all these people REALLY so ecstatic when it happens they could explode, or are they putting it on for the cameras ? |

When someone gives a correct or otherwise good answer to something on a forum, then minutes later, someone gives the exact same answer, basically by copying the answer above so they get to act like a smart arse over something they probably didn't know either.
