    12 boobs I call that. I think I've got 12 boobs today.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      You need to sort that out love - people like me will be tut-tut'ing at you.

        Yeah I agree - why the **** can't they go in the bin?

        Also -

        Wet towels on the bed or worse found in the spare room after he goes to work on a Monday Morning...

        Opening post and leving the envelope on the side - put it in the bin FFS.

        Instead of rinseing the cup you are using, taking a new one from the cupboard just to put another cup of tea in it.

        Empty packets back in the fridge/cupboard - my old flatemate did that ALL the time

        Women who leave the price stickers on the soles of their footwear.

        Women who don't have bras that fit them and end up looking like they have 4 boobs.

        Women with a sprinkler attachment in the pub loo - no love I don't want to sit in your piss thanks very much.

        Smelly people

        I could go on
        Please do. Someone might be taking notes.

          Broadly agree, but would like to make an exception for "asshat", which I really like. This being shorthand for a person who is "up his own ass", such that it serves as a hat.

                  I like that. I am a fan of words being conjoined to create one new ones.

                    1. People who use the word 'draw' instead of 'drawer'. Someone said on a thread recently, they had a 'draw full of user ids'. No you ******* don't. It's a drawer !!

                    2. A bloke here at clientco uses the word 'pacific' constantly instead of 'specific'. He says things (ususally at meetings), like, "There's a couple of pacific things we need to discuss)

                    Both of the above make my ******* blood boil

                    Anyone else get upset by things they really shouldn't ????

                    Stop moaning sad act! If I want to put things in a draw I will do. Now I'm off to drawer a nice picture of me putting a drawering into a nice big chest of draws and in the biggest draw you'll see that's where I keep all of my other drawerings. I think I'll drawer this to a close now
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!

                      Nah, they don't seem to mind too much.
