And people spelling and pronouncing 'cardamom' as 'cardamon'.
I have to avoid the Food and Drink forum on days I'm feeling particularly strongly about this!Bulmers' Indian Summer cider actually says 'cardamon' on the label! Checked it on google and by Jove you're right! ![]() The same thing happened me with espresso - for years I had thought it was expresso.

Top of the pile must surely now go to... "LIKE".. Someone was explaining to me how they had trouble getting to work and used "like" after every word.. Say it once and I switch off.

My cousin has a habit of saying "Eh?" very loudly at the end of almost every sentence so she turns statements into questions. Very annoying: "I was in town...EH?" "I missed the bus EH?"

Why do people think they are entitled to instant replies?
Anyway how much effort does it take someone to send a text back? Less than a minute surely. |

I was at a show the other night and had second from front row seats in the balcony. It shouldve been a decent view, except the woman in front of me spend the first fifteen minutes scratching her armpits!
Not only was it disgusting to see (and hear!) but she didnt even do it discretely. Arm up in the air holding her show ticket while she scratched away. Why on earth she couldnt just do it without putting her outstretched arm in the air obstructing the view for everyone else i have no idea! |

Whilst it hasn't annoyed me *yet*, I guarantee that it will soon - those who say that we'll be gaining an extra hour's sleep on Sunday as a result of the clocks going back. (As that assumes that you'll be asleep when it happens.)

Moving the clocks always means that a colleague will be an hour late for work on Monday morning...funny how he manages to be late when the clocks go forward and backwards.

^maybe leave out some empty pizza boxes and birthday cake boxes. So when he comes in late and looks questioningly at them, say you had a mini celebration and it is a shame they missed what was a crackingly good time, and maybe they'll make sure to change their fkn clocks next time.

When a person sneezes thrice in quick succession, without fail, every day. And lets out a little squeak or exaggerates the sound they make each time. It's like they go to the effort of keeping quiet for the climax of each sneeze, but end up disturbing the peace with an irritating "tchoo" or some other noise at the end of it. And they cannot blame hayfever, because the pollen count is now slim to bupkis now that it's frigging autumn! You have free flu jabs, you're fit and healthy, you shouldn't be suffering from a perpetual cold day-in, day-out.
Grrroooooo.... |

Typos. As in, when I write a post, proof-read it quickly, hit "Post", then re-read it again only to find there are at least two bloody spelling mistakes or grammatical errors soon afterwards. Sods Law >

When I'm literally sat here with money in hand just itching to buy something on eBay but they haven't got back to me with a crucial answer to a simple question. Now I don't expect a reply withing minutes, within a couple of hours even, but as I sent it early morning I would at least expect a reply by the end of the day, darn it.

When you (allegedly) find a bum-bag which obviously (allegedly) belonged to a drug peddler - contains papers, loads of little plastic bags... LOADS of em, and a set of rad mini scales, but it doesn't contain any of the good stuff (allegedly), darn it. Still, at least I now know the weight of a matchstick 0.14g and a cotton bud 0.26g.
Oh yes and drugs are bad, don't do drugs. I'm off to hand it in and then to wash my hands in detol.

I know that this only a minor quarm.
Non speaking immigrants who have a "community lawyer" Who are in cahoot with their Labour friends on the council where basically a whole Middle Eastern village has being invited into a beautiful leafy English subberb and shit on their way of life. I hope Labour choke on their bought in votes, the price they paid for them is criminal. |

Picture the scene, in a crowded supermarket with trolleys packed with goods ready to be shelved in the way. You get trolley to trolley with another customer and signal for them to pass before you to then have them stop so you can't go anywhere to allow them to browse the shelf. Unbelievable. You would have thought they would have let you past first.
Yesterday I had the unfortunate experience of sitting on a very crowded bus where a woman phoned someone just as the bus started off. She then moaned and moaned with the odd swear words here and there about how she was treated in work. As I was sitting across aisle from her, everyone who was getting off made a point of stopping and looking at her. It wasn't as if she was talking quietly. She was totally oblivious to anyone around her. |
