This would include kids who have a tantrum because they don't have the latest mobile, designer coat, etc. have no intention of making any contribution to life to, God forbid, earn the said item and despite their parents not having unlimited funds and already forked out for the former "latest" item - parents who allow the above to happen and simply encourage more tantrums by constantly giving in and then wondering "why did my lovely child turn into a sponging brat?" - over-use of the word "legend" - the upwards inflection at the end of sentences that makes every statement sound like a question - paying for car parking at extortionate rates - over-use of the word "guys". This appears to be at epidemic levels in some circles now and when somewhat bored at a recent event, I started counting the number of times it was used. 18 times in the space of around 5 minutes and including twice in the same sentence. Yes, I know I should get a life! - the unabated greed that some treat all inclusive holidays where you see mounds of food piled onto plates only to be left for another plate to be filled - jeans that are worn half-way down one's '***** with their designer grundies on show - phrases such as "reaching out" when "could you give him a bell and ask for a hand" will suffice and not make the matter sound so dramatic - the TV show "Friends" on constant repeat when I personally didn't find it funny the first time round - women that think glugging prosecco as the new fad makes them "posh" and alluring. No, it makes you loud and unappealing. The same can of course be said for some blokes smashing "craft ales" down their neck - blokes well into their more mature years wearing skinny jeans, overly tight shirts with bulging bellies, overly gelled hair (if not scooped into a comb-over) to try and look like their teenage son. How old mate? - my lovely wife when she tells me to stop moaning Chapter 2 will follow.... rolls of paper kitchen towels bottled water having strangers wash your car fast food ,roads covered in unnecessary painted markings to guide the motorists who don't know the highway code. new bosses who know that having a degree is more important than experience .

JohnfromUK Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Unnecessary signs. Have you ever been along a stretch of road (town, country, almost anywhere) and asked yourself how many of the multiple signs are of any real use or merit? For example, opposite my house there is a sign with three 'boards', one advising about people walking, one saying 'no footpath' and one advising that the road narrows. They are presumably meant to inform drivers. It is a small rural road in a 30 m.p.h. area. Surely all of these factors are obvious without signs?

Thunderbird Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 This is one of the best rant threads in PW history. This kind of thing. (It's a link to a story about people caving in to internet social justice warriors.) And people who think you're weird, evil, or can't possibly be a countryside/shooting person if you dislike dogs.

That, and the constant overuse of the words 'literally' and 'basically'. Oh, and another one; saying 'obviously', when something was not at all obvious. The other one that boils my pee is 'can I get' when the young (and not so young) order and food, drink, etc! NO!!

Snoozer Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 The Phrase Super Stoked usually uttered by Yanks. Dogs Mobil Phone App updates People who clearly can't park a Car/Van/Truck/Bus E-Mail Scams People who refer to INSTRUCTIONS as DESTRUCTIONS as if you would destroy something when you've just purchased it.

If something is just said to be fried it usually means it is cooked in a deep fat fryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
