Never heard that phrase before. Makes no sense unless it's a question!

It should be of course be "Phiw Mitchuw".

When I have non-drivers in my car and if I try to park, they pipe up with "there's a space, you'll be able to get in there easily", then proceed to try and direct me into said space and tutting if I don't manage it in one go!

Ad nauseum.

Also dislike having to say the plural of the word "text". Try it. Grr.”

..... and the word (?) 'favourited' as in the phrase 'John has favourited you' It really annoys me no end!!

Men on dating websites who are 'Looking for an honest woman' Is a dishonest woman going to reply and say that she's honest? Don't we all like to think we are honest? It's an insult in my opinion.

have a go at this one:

try writing surviving as fast as possible, using joined up letters of course

it's ALWAYS the case that before I'm even 1/2 thru I've lost track as to which letter I'm on.

(then write chimp and turn it upside down - not a but a thing)

The unnecessary 'bit to camera commentary' on crappy US reality TV shows where they get their tenses all mixed up.

So here I am, like, thinking what is going on here. Is this for real, y'know. I knew I had to do it but I was worried. Like, y'know, real worried. Can I do this? I mean here's Chad, like, saying all these things and I'm like oh my gawd, I don't even know.

Not only can they cover all tenses, annoying in itself, but they are essentially just saying a bunch of words that really mean nothing of any worth. Unnecessary filler.

Speaking of phrases, I hate when Americans say "I could care less". It makes no sense!

Another internet-related one....

Web-sites which have "jumps" in the article which don't appear until after the rest of the page has loaded.

The page loads, you read the first paragraph of the article and there's a hot-link which says something like "click here to read the rest of this feature".
You click it, nothing happens, the page finishes loading, everything shoves down half a screen and you discover you've actually clicked on a bloody advert rather than the hot-link to the rest of the article which you think you've clicked on.

Trivial but rather irritating and more-so because it's probably deliberate, to get you to click the ad's.

Or - nine millimetres of aluminium - that's a fluent bit of hand-writing to practice with.

Wind chimes. My neighbour has some wooden ones that sound like a tap ripping into a perpetually empty watering can. They're as annoying as listening to an empty tin rolling around the street on a windy night; as annoying as a door continually squeaking on its hinges; as annoying as the bloody pigeons trying to perfect their cuckoo impressions at five in the morning.

Yes! That one irritates the heck out of me! They also say "The proof is in the pudding" a lot and I always want to say "No, no it's not - the proof of the pudding is in the eating"! But then a lot of people come out with these phrases without thinking for a moment what they're saying. They've just heard it somewhere and have a vague idea that it's appropriate.

Rant over

It doesn't make it any less irritating and it still doesn't make sense!

Job searching which is as soul destroying as I thought it would be.
And the sad thing is I'm not even surprised at this.

Barbeques - other people's. It's not the noise of other people enjoying themselves, nor is it the smell of charred sausages, not even the fact that I wasn't invited, it's that awful acrid stench of firelighters that the lazy b*stards use to get the f*cking thing going. If I wanted to choke, wrench and cough I'd go to the local stationary engines show where they are run on TVO which is much the same. The smell drifts in to the house and seems to stay there. With this hot weather all my neighbours seem to be barbequeing their breakfast, dinner and tea!
