My biggest pet hate is people who ask 'you OK?' instead of just saying hello, or 'alright?'. It forces you to answeer with a platitude - it's worse than 'how are you?' which could be the start of a conversation, but normally just gets 'fine, and you?'. They are not interested in how you are and 99 times out of 100 if you ask them back there is silence. It's based on a premise that you might not be OK whereas they most definitely are so they presume some psychological upperhand. B*stards. Seems petty but it's f*cking irritating - could have been devised by Alastair Sim in School for Scoundrels.

'Early doors' is annoying, anyone who utters the phrase 'job's a good 'un' should be shot immediastely, and the latest 'my bad' is invariably the mark of a tw*t. Does anyone have any more particular examples of cliched annoyance?

It isn't a stock phrase but if someone states that they are jealous when they mean envious......I get unusually annoyed.

As a consequence I find myself annoyed quite a lot as it's done all the time.

People who preface every statement with “I ain’t gonna lie”. Idiots.

Saying "One hundred per cent" instead of just agreeing.
"Oh, my days" drives me up the wall.

Both my kids! I'd rather they'd just say "fvck me" (although that would go down very badly with the mem).

No words, but anyone who does that heart shape thing with their hands is a cvnt.

monkey Flag Sittingbourne,but made in Bromley 12 Jul 24 6.08pm Send a Private Message to monkey Add monkey as a friend

Younger people who watch too much American tv and go into a cafe, takeaway, shop etc and say “can I get……” instead of “can I have…..”

If it was ‘get’ you would have to climb over the counter and get it yourself

As bad, is "I'll do (a burger, a gin & tonic, whatever...)"
WTF are you proposing to "do" with it?
