It wouldn't in North America, they have no idea there's a difference.

Is your friend Ash or Caron?

The giant ego Brian Cox and the couch potatoes who cling on to his every word.

Recruitment agencies who post jobs online and only when you get into their office do they reveal that the posting is fake and they are just looking to gain more candidates.

Falling for the offer of "Buy 2 tubes of Pringles and get a FREE Footbowl" to get home and read the instructions that you have to send £3 as a 'contribution'

It's not bl**dy free then is it !

Having to come home after a holiday.

I know someone who wanted to call his daughter Malady, even though he knew it was another word for 'disease'; he just liked the sound of the word. The mother thought it would be bad luck and put her foot down, fortunately.

what's up hun?
oh nothin (collection of smiley/sad emojiis)

About everything I dislike about FB in one handy exchange ^

YouTube spamming me with recommended for you videos, which have no relation to what i'm watching.

People from your past who crop up all of a sudden and message you, and I'm pretty sure they don't really care about you, they just want to show off about something good that happened to them.

Bands who only play cover versions. What's the point?

Going back to work after a holiday

There's a pub near me that has the obligatory 'A' board outside and every weekend you see the same badly written advert.

Friday night GRT DUO DYnaMO
Saturday night GRT BAND DC\AC
Sunday bingo

When drain/manhole covers with road markings painted on them (usually white or yellow paint) are taken up but NOT replaced in the correct position. Grrr

Those typed letters that come in Christmas cards telling you (meaning every addressee on their card list ) all about what they have done in the past year and how clever their offspring are.

I've done some (online) research about this and this grand claim of theirs doesn't sound true. It does not add up.

So two things I hate 1) people who have great things happen to them despite not deserving it while the rest work hard and go home empty handed so to speak.
And 2) people who feel the need to make up things to impress you and make you think 'wow this person is so successful' etc. Who knows what else in their conversation is made up? What's the point - oh right yes to stroke their ego.

I wish they'd stop speaking to me.

When I'm driving.

Pulling up at a pellican crossing just as the lights turn to red, only to find the plonker has already crossed over and is half way down the road.

When I'm shopping.

The tw*t with the trolley who thinks its ok to go through the 'basket only' checkout to avoid all the other trolley queues, just as I arrive with only a light basket full myself. They're certainly a basket alright.

Definitely agree with that one!

Yet in the early 1980s you could see local bands in pubs and they all played their own music. I wonder what happened.

Eep.

In my defence... my 'default setting', if you like, is to walk up to a crossing and press the button. Rarely, I press it and then notice the road's clear, so I scuttle across, trying to look innocent if any cars happen to end up stopping well after I've crossed.

Even more rarely, I approach the crossing and actually look at the road before pressing the button. I expect I should do that more often.

I'm ever so very sorry.

The endless failure of the England football team, even when they play well (like tonight) they still manage to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory.

Fifty years is a bloody long time.

Waiting nearly an hour for a taxi u booked for a specific time , when u just know most of them are in the city a few miles away waiting on a bigger hire! If I want my taxi at 1 am I will book it for that time thanks x

Yes, this annoys me too.
