What grinds my gears...

[Bellend Sebastian]

You do realise I was taking the piss?

Of course I realised that?

I didn't realise that, no

[DB11]

I've no idea why people do this. It makes you sound like a) you're unsure of what you're saying (and therefore a bit of a div) or b) you don't expect the person you're talking to will be familiar with what you're talking about, which unless you're talking about something very complicated or profound can be seen as being a bit rude or c) in an episode of The Hills

It's an inflection and the speaker uses it to look for confirmation and approval from the listener to reinforce their idea or statement

Option a), then

Don't look for confirmation and approval, just tell people what's what. Grand ideas! Bold statements that cannot be questioned!

e.g. "I am going to Cropston to buy a mighty stallion"

Not: "I am going to Cropston? To buy a mighty....stallion?" They'll think you're a right weirdo.

It's all the fault of the Nanny State. Or something

I'l be honest, you could tell me that sentence in any way you like and i'd still think you were a right weirdo.

I was ill yesterday so I stayed at home all day and had a bit of browse through FT, it piss me off a bit when I see some unnecessary arguments on here, I mean fair enough if someone is being a racist so everyone is entitled to have a go at the poster in the question but petty picking on some of the small issues annoy me

Rant over

We are laughed at by rest of the football community for being foxes fans so at least we can do is to stick together!

Should have just called him a bumbaclart. That would have made him less rude.

yeah a good "BUMBECLAAAAAAAAT" always lightens any mood or tension (at my end) I find. I always laugh whenever I hear it just because of how it's said!

Or a good "RAAAAAAAASSS".

[BoneDog]

The 'what do you do' thread has just reminded me of something that grinds my gears.

People who smell of shit or crabsticks. Just wash between your cheeks and behind your foreskin once a day, it's not hard.

Sky putting fooking Rugby League on SS1 and putting the football on SS2!!! I want to watch the Leicester match on the tv for a change instead of the computer.

People who start sentences with 'as if,' and sometimes write it like it's one word.

Example:

'Asif I'm not going out tonight!'

Fucking shut up.

Also, anyone that changes from the standard 'haha' to 'hehe' when they're talking to their missus / a target. I have a lot of whipped friends.

This ten times over.

'As if I havent lost me phone' was the last one.

Oh yeh, and people who say 'Casually getting .....'. Why casually?

[MikeyT]

People who say they are going to spend some "quality" time, doing whatever. Why quality? It's just time. I don't get it!

The cat eating my one and only Cadbury's Creme Egg. The one that I'd been saving as a special treat for surviving Parents' Evening, and been looking forward to all day.

Are you a licker or fingerer on creme eggs.

I finger, myself.

[Jackirius]

"I'm absolutely delighted with the size and quality of my squad. I never have and never will mention how we need more players".

[Mee]

, I knew as soon as I put it someone woudl say something like that.

I don't have a creme egg to finger or lick. But, licker, usually.

Zoe Salmon - just shut the **** up.

Gennaro Gattuso.

Words can not describe how much of a twat that man is. See Spurs vs Milan tonight for proof.
