People who say..

"I'm not being funny but..." which mean..."I am deliberatly being a bit of a an awkward twonk"

"I'm straight up me, if I've got a problem I'll say it to your face" means "I'm the most two faced person you can imagine and will happily ******* you off to all and sundry at any chance I get!!!"

"Funny Bone" what's bloody funny when it feels like you have just crushed your arm in a vice. I hate it when people say it.

Work at the local icleands, and what i find annoying is when customers come in and straight up to you asking for products. Had a bloke the other day came up to me and ask where the pizas where (were right behind him) turnt round and said "ummm i dno mate the last timei checked they were right behind you, but they could have been moved, ill just go and ask my manager shall i" or another one that i use is "hmm if you just turn around you will find them" sarcasm always wins

another one. "that will learn you!" I hate it when people say it as it makes no sense what so ever. How difficult would it be to say "that will teach you". As surely you have to be taught something to learn it!

My mother often says, "back kitchen" for some reason, I always ask if we have a front kitchen too. That always makes me chuckle.

A customer really annoyed me once, he had an alarm system that we had installed that connects to the telephone line for remote diagnostics and to send signals to a monitoring station if the alarm was triggered so that key holders can be notified. Now, this bloke has an American girlfriend and they had set some special telephone system up for cheap calls to America, not to bore anyone with the details but it was a little unit which was plugged inline with the phone and the BT master socket.

For us to log in to the alarm system remotely, you would set the modem away in the computer to ring 2 rings then hang up then call straight back, on the second call providing it was within 10 seconds, the alarm system answer the call and start the modem off, occasionally, due to this box he had plugged in, some incoming calls would ring twice, pause then ring again meaning the alarm system modem answered the call, connected and started the data transmission.

Anyone young enough to remember 56k modems will know what noise they make when you pick up the phone if you were on the internet, (still with me?) Anyway, this is where he annoyed me, he was explaining the problem to me and constantly referred to the modem noise on the line as the "fax machine making a noise" despite the fact that I tried to explain what was happening and it was the alarm system's in-built modem. For something so trivial, it really wound me up, I still don't think I got through to him exactly what the problem was!

Jesus, that must have been the longest way round to tell a simple story

I was giving one of my first lectures at the university,

The class started - name on white board, course schedule handed out etc

About 5 minutes in, one student asks "are you the teacher?"

I replied yes "why do you have a problem with that". his face just fell.

I was feeling a little uneasy maybe a little nervous, as the topic wasn't my primary study, and i was conscious that i was the same age as the students, have a "hairstyle" and tattoos.
