Trivial things that annoy you intensely. (Part 3)

Further to the previous, people who call any appointment with someone a "date." To me, a date is romantic. If I go out with friends, it's not a date (unless we're paired off in couples.) If my child goes to play with their friends, they're doing just that, going to play; it's not a "play date." If I have to see my doctor or dentist or lawyer, that's not a "date", unless we're planning to go for a candlelit dinner afterwards! Also very American, and annoys me intensely.
People on forums who just post "Bump" to get a thread back to the top. I don't like "bumping" anyway. It's annoying to see a thread come up again and again because someone is trying to force interest in a subject that people clearly are not interested in discussing (otherwise the thread would already be active)

Is 'Takae' being too sensitive?
....discuss.
People showing off about their relationship on the internet and PDAs...to me it seems like they're overcompensating.

Possibly. I'm coming off a month-long night shift. This can be translated to 'easily irritated'. Or 'easily confused' or 'easily emotional'. Also 'easily zombified'. In this case, though? 'Easily murderous'. You're going to die for scraping 'discuss' on my chalkboard.

The recent trend (around here anyway) of drivers parking their cars about 18 inches from the kerb. Our streets are narrow enough as it is without these idiots!

I agree with you about the annoying g word that is all over television, especially in the hideous you guuyzzzz phrase addressed to a mixed group of people.
I wish you would tell the BBC to stop going on about seasons and while you are at it, inform them as to what numpties they are. They are far more to blame than people in the TV forum.

I don't generally like it either. It might have been active though if it hadn't been pushed off the front page by a plethora of personal trivia or off-topic threads that belong in Chatter, Music, TV, Politics, Film, Newspapers, Advice, or Broadcasting, to name a few...
I hate the phrase "good money", as in "people have paid good money to come and see this..." (and it's rubbish). What's "good" about it? Does "bad" money exist? Can I not pay "bad" money for the same effect? Would using "bad" money lessen the disappointment?

We don't have that problem where we live, they park on the pavements.

I always assumed "good money" meant "lots of money".

That's a fair point, although I've heard it used in situations that don't involve huge amounts. Maybe it's just become a cliché and people put the two words together without particularly thinking. Perhaps that's why it annoys me.

Don't forget that the fairer sex aren't blessed with spatial awareness, so I'll let them off for that annoying quirk!

But if you're talking about an American show then season is the correct terminology whether we're British or not. If its a British show that fair point, but a season of say Game of Thrones is just that, a season.
The pretentious Hipsters crowd that shows no sign of dying out in East London.
"Got on the train from Cambridgeshire
Moved down to an East London flat

Some purple leggings and a sailor tat
Just one gear on my fixie bike
Got a plus one here for my gig tonight
I play synth....
We all play synth..."

I get your point totally. Also, what else would they pay with? "People have paid good custard creams to come and see this.."

Don't get me started.
When people ask you in the morning if you have 'slept well'. Such a trite pissing question. Next time someone asks me that, I will go into great detail about a wet dream involving Nicola Sturgeon's legs.
And I also hate the way BBC political programmes generate their own news. For example, one endures 15 minutes of David Cameron farting on about nothing in particular on the Andrew Marr Show. Then the news segment will follow and say "David Cameron farted on about nothing in particular earlier in this programme". Not only is this pointless, it is an exceptionally lazy way to take up news air time.
