Life's little annoyances...

[Advocate]

Re: Life's little annoyances...

Agreed ^

I suspect I've said all of the below here on CUK at some point before, but:

- When people hold a door open when I'm still quite far away from the door, forcing me to break into that stupid trot - then thank them for it. There should be some sort of legal minimum for door holder opening.

- People who have to point out they've just made a 'joke'. Usually the same sort of people who describe themselves as 'mental'.

- People who pronounce 'specifically' as 'pacifically'.

People who say:

"Mute point"
"Vicer versa"
"Going forward"
"Touch base"
"Haitch"
"One way hash"
"Two way hash" ( yes there are edge cases where these phrases can be acceptable but not usually in the context of useful cryptography)
"In the cloud"
"Byod"
"Secure <noun>" ( without any evidence/qualifiers)

There's more...

'Brought' instead of 'bought'.

People who turn up at your home half and hour early.

Doesn't it occur to them that I might be having a dump or shower or a snack in that time?

I do it because I am a gentleman not in the misplaced belief you are a lady, maam.

should bunch their knickers.

or clench their cheeks tighter to hold them up.

I could never get used to pants hauled up and bunched in at the back, but most women seem to prefer wearing their knickers that way. I suppose the advantage is it doesn't show hemlines, except near the top.

Struggling to imagine how a second day wearing the same knickers can affect how far they droop, unless perhaps you mean two days' continuous wear.

A more detailed explanation, with pictures, would definitely help.

Noooo. I am not saying I wear undercrackers 2 days on the trot. I meant that in whipping my clothes off the day before, I managed to miss that I had left my knickers bunched up in the trousers.

Things that wind me up!

1. Cretins
2. Morons
3. Lists of things

People 'dropping in' on me for a cup of tea. No - fkc off. Phone before you come round.

Realising I dropped a bit of chocolate while driving, which has melted on the back of my trousers/skirt, making me look incontinent.

'I will see you there at 7am tomorrow morning'

People who send you an e-mail asking you to e-mail someone else and copy them in when they could have just done it themselves
People who stick meetings in way after office hours or all through your lunch despite the fact you have it blocked off and then complain when you cannot make these meetings.

'I will see you there at 7am tomorrow morning'

'I doubt it' is the appropriate response to that I think
