The little things that annoy you

FFS. That's the second time I've bought a Mars DARK packet of 4 by mistake instead of a regular Mars pack, and the dark Mars bars taste pretty damn disgusting. There should be some law against them doing this - I have been caught out like this before by other confectionery. Perhaps they're trying to offload some dodgy batch of chocolate by palming it off as "Dark? Thankfully "Limited Edition" is also written on the package

Ha! I have a current, passionate hatred of the expression "to be fair". My Mum and sister keep saying it and the annoyance is threatening to bubble over soon.

"...it's a new one to be fair..."

"...Well to be fair I am tired..."

It literally makes NO SENSE. Stop it.

No if you were oirish it would be "to be fair, to be fair".

Thats why recently they had to vote twice, to be fair, to be fair.

I've noticed that as well - it's nearly as annoying as the ubiquitous and indiscrimate use of "passionate" which I see you've adopted.

I think you will find that my use of the word 'passionate' is entirely in the correct context in this instance. Passion can still exist, despite false claims of it existing all over the place...

I also REALLY grit my teeth when I hear people say a variation on "...it's 8am in the morning..."

"..at the end of the day..." is stupid too.
