I find it's mainly Americans that are guilty of this, but the stupid use of the double negative. Was just watching Judge Judy (to kill time, it's a guilty pleasure) and the amount of people on there that used 'I don't know nothing about...'. Technically means you know (everything) about it. 

Technically it means you know at least one thing about it.

Which technically means that both of you are right and wrong at the same time. Because "technically", the intended use of the phrase "I don't know nothing" albeit being grammatically incorrect, is correct because it is a form of slang.

McDonalds have surpassed themselves in terms of shiteness with their latest ad (a rip off of the Bud Light dilly dilly ad no less).

 

"Peely Peely".

A bloke, must have been late 50's to early 60's, walked into me with his trolley at Tesco earlier because was too busy looking into his phone. After doing so he didn't apologise, he just looked back at his phone and carried on. 

 

I thought it was the youths who were phone obsessed and rude.

 I'd have moved, but he turned right in front of me as I was walking out the store. ****ing oblivious.

If your body was creaking, your wife is getting saggy, the kids are still a drain on your finances, you've never reached your potential, you're in a dead end job and you realise your pension is so shit you've got to work for another 20 years....you'd probably be pretty rude too

So, I’m pushing my trolley around Tesco today, when this young bloke - mid to late twenties, I’d guess - walked straight in front of the trolley, just as I received a text message from the handicapped child I was shopping for. I stopped to read it but the drunken fvcker kept straight on and crashed into the trolley, then staggered off without so much as an apology. 

 

Bloody young ‘uns have no manners at all.

I logged on my car insurers portal to see whether if I can get a renewal quote as it is too late to phone them.   I found renewal documents all up and ready expect for one crucial bit of information-  the actual quote itself!

Original Pringles coming out in the top spot for Britain’s favourite crisps.

 

Does anyone even eat Pringles apart from at Christmas, birthdays & funerals? Max flamin hot or McCoy’s sizzling king prawn not making the list is nothing short of a disgrace.

We've got the best crisps in the world and pringles were voted the best? Ffs. Walkers, Yorkshire, Kettle, McCoys and Seabrook all shit over pringles

There was a bloke on the tube yesterday., about 3.30pm, completely off his face. Walked up the carriage, stared at the open doors, then as the bleeping started attempted to walk in and got his rucksack caught, and just stood there mouth open while two guys tried to pry open the doors. He then walked over to where I was (leaning up against the little bum cushion things) and just stared at me, mouth still open, slightly drooling, until I let him stand there.

Nice n spicy Nik Naks are also sensational. 3 out of my 5 favourites are on the bottom tier. Sad day.

 I've only just seen this.

 

What actually happened was, as I exited the store into covered bit just outside the doors you get at most supermarkets, he was directly in front of me, walking very slowly and not particularly straight. I went to walk to his right when he made a sudden turn to the right which put his trolley right in front of me, and I couldn't avoid it. Accidents happened, but I noticed straight away he wasn't looking where he was going, and when I bashed into his trolley he briefly looked up from his phone, looked at me, and the looked down at his phone and walked off across the car park.

 

I'll take mid to late twenties btw  Thanks.

In case it's not obvious, I should point out that my tale was completely fictitious and fell flat as a pancake as @Facecloth has only just seen it.

People who walk out of shop doorways, onto the pavement, without looking or even anticipating that someone might be walking along the pavement. They expect anyone who might be walking by to stop for them. We need give way signs at shop exits!
