Pacific instead of specific.

I hate it but my wife really gets annoyed, I sometimes drop it in for a reaction.

Being told to calm down (as above mentioned), made worse when I am in fact not that angry yet.

Has this ever actually (Just for you actually lovers) happened? I have to say that in all my time on this planet I have never heard this confusion!



Pacific ? That's the brand of ASDA Telly I've got.

One thing that does annoy me, is people that say, "Robin Reliant" Now I bet they wouldn't say Fiesta Ford or Vectra Vauxhall for instance.

theres a local mini parts supplier near me. an the juy in there just loves the sound of his own voice ill ask him a question and heel awnser it by refering to many stories about him and his very many minis which are never related to the question that i just asked. he also gets annoyed when i dont buy things from him the other day he offered be a non-genuine part but i needed a genuineone so i got one from mini spares. went back to his shop a day later he asked me if i wanted it i said ive alreddy got one and he started getting annoyed at the fact that i hadnt got it from him, the thing is i spend loads of money on generaly pointles bits of crome for my mini in his shop.



Oh Jeremy could talk for Wales.


I hate, "can I lend a tenner?" sure, you can lend me money!
"To be fair"
"at the end of the day"
Being called son by anyone but my father. Even he doesn't say it, he called me oi. My younger house mate calls me it all the time.
When people use text words in real life. I know people who say BRB, LOL etc
The over use of literally and like.
Also shop attendants might say "anything else at all?" No need for the "at all"
People swearing for no reason. I was working on the mini a week or two ago, with the bonnet off and wiring inside, some fella walking past

"sh*t some f**ker has taxed his bonnet, (then spots me inside) oh wait, theres some c*nt in it"

No need.



Or something that people always say, (including me) is I've got an MOT. But most people look at you like a berk when you say MOT test.

People that send you to the wrong address to do a job and then, when you finally find the place the job is cancelled. Well it certainly annoyed me this morning!

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!!!"



Misuse of "literally", eg. "I laughed so hard my head literally exploded". Did it really ? It's healed up nicely then.

"should of" under any circumstances. FFS. >_<


There is a guy I work with who does both of these, most of the time in the same sentence multiple times, and he is the most annoying arrogant :( you can imagine.

It also annoys me when someone tells a joke or does or sees something, and people laugh and then someone explains why its funny, why do you need to explain it to me I was laughing!!!!!!!

I work as an IT Technician, and biggest pet hate is the phrase;

"I know your busy but..."

Then not waiting for your answer and just start listing all the problems they have like they are the most important thing in the world. All this while you are up a 20ft tower sorting out the Stage Lighting, or in the server room trying to sort a major issue or already talking to someone and they just butt in. Look you said that I am busy and that was correct, how about waiting till I am not busy?

I have so many conversations started with that or,

"I can see your having lunch but..."

I am beginning to think that's my name.
