Email content written in the subject line.

It's just the height of laziness and poor communication to write the entire content of an email in the subject line.

From Wiktionary: Traditionally, the spelling fiancée is used for a woman who is engaged, with fiancé being the male counterpart. (This is a reflection of the corresponding distinction in French.) However, this distinction is not reliably followed today.”

Well, it blinking well should be!. Why isn't it? No one has standards any more.

When you're in the shower (without glasses on , obviously) and you can't tell if the bottle has shampoo or conditioner in. Today I shampooed my hair 3 times .

Nosy family members and friends.Especially the ones that say things like 'Do you think that's a good idea?' with an attitude, how about you take your nose out of my business, I didn't even ask for your bloody opinion.

I think cus I'm a NON nosy person - this irritates me further.

Hahaha I have done this many a time grrrrrr, I thought it would be good to hang a spare pair in the shower! ........no good, slippery, steamed up, waste of time.

Rita Ora advert, it's the "I'm ready" that makes me reach for the remote.

Aha so that is who the female is. I wondered but not enough to try and find out.

That during the 27ft walk from living room to bedroom, I have 'misplaced' my mobile. I didn't divert anywhere and wasn't wearing anything with pockets, so I'm bloody stumped. I do it all the time (not with a phone usually though).

Just watched that programme with that young lass who won the lottery, she was complaining about being home alone

She doesn't know how lucky she is! She's got ger own home, has money, can do whatever she likes, is able bodied, I'd give anything to be in her position, to be able to live alone, I'd join a gym, do whatever the hell I wanted

People like her annoy me!

I only saw a few minutes of that and it was the bit about her dream being 'to do a full season in Magaluf'.

Switched over.

When people say or write that (for example) their child is somewhat of a thug. Shouldn't it be something of a thug or somewhat thuggish?

I've heard it used like the example in bold so often that I'm starting to doubt it's wrong

It's the same with 'disinterested' - I've always thought it meant something like unbiased, but so many people use it to mean what I would call uninterested, (in a book or conversation or whatever), that I've begun to wonder if the two words have become interchangeable

Amen to that! This one annoys me too and I was going to post it myself but thought it was maybe too anal (even for this thread!) And no, they're not interchangeable, they're just plain wrong!

You're right about disinterested and uninterested too - Collins has the "not interested" definition for "disinterested" but says that many think it's incorrect... it is

Thankyou!

'Somewhat of' doesn't even sound right to me, but I've heard people say it on the BBC


I can understand the wrong use of disinterested more - I've heard that on the BBC too - and I thought maybe it had become acceptable because so many people use it. (Like 'bored of' )

My glasses need tightening they keep sliding down my nose but I've been putting off taking them in coz I'm sure my eye test is due so I'll be getting new glasses. Lo and behold I still haven't had an appointment yet.

Only a little thing but it annoys me- people who say HarASSment instead of HAressment.

When people making requests on radio request shows ask for songs that are already played several times a day, or songs so obvious and clichéd that they feature at every wedding/work-do disco ever (Tainted Love, Lady in Red etc).

I've made this gripe as well. All Request Friday's on Radio 2 drive time is the worst for this. It's as though Kool and the Gang's 'Celebration' is an unknown audio gem.

Or if it's a nice day, some berk will request The Beatles' 'Hear Comes The Sun'

I've often suspected that because they have those songs on their playlist already, they may try and find a requestor that matches what they were intending to play anyway.

I don't really know why, but I get irritated when someone in the queue at a supermarket checkout puts their basket on the ground and just keeps nudging it along with their foot when the queue moves. Just pick it up!

Did it occur it may be too heavy for the person to pick it up?

Is it an age thing? I'm getting terrible. I lost the TV remote for several hours the other day and then found it in the fridge
And the number of times I've been looking for my car keys (and knowing with 100% certainty that I brought them downstairs with me when I got up) and being completely unable to find them anywhere. Of course I eventually find them in the bedroom. I hadn't picked them up at all...but I'm sure I did.

Not when it was a big beefy builder with only a couple of sandwiches and a newspaper in his basket, no! And even if it was too heavy, what was he going to do when he reached the checkout?
