The Great Khali Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thats just reminded me. Why do some people clap when a plane's just landed? I've been known to start a clap just to see if any folk join in... They always do. I then give a few shouts of "YEAH" "WOOOO" to see if folk join in.... They do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FBSHD Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The quiff look and poncy shirts buttoned right up to the top that every bellend/creepy rapist type guy is sporting these days. Body-warmers. When did they become acceptable to wear? Anyone seen in public in a body-warmer was always ridiculed but now it seems to be accepted, even fashionable.

Gregory House M.D. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm no longer in the trade but see when I was behind a bar there was nothing more infuriating than punters telling you how to pour a pint, who to serve next or that a perfectly fizzy pint of lager was flat. I was ready to raise my hands to some of these arseholes on a couple of occasions. Thinking they could do my job better than me because they worked in the Grays Mill twenty years ago. I don't give special respect to the elderly, I give respect to everyone I meet until they do.something to make me stop. People who use Twitter to just get more followers. What do you do when you've got all these followers? Beg for more of course. No discourse, just a timeline clogged with RT FOR A SHOUTOUT #TEAMFOLLOWBACK People that don't like the music I like. Sorry but you're just wrong. Spelling/grammar police on the internet. Stop being so ******* boring. I choose to write correctly, so do you. If someone doesn't why are you so superior as to smugly call them out on every misplaced comma, missing apostophe or using the wrong word? People who know nothing about Scottish football giving it 'Hearts are bust' chat for longer than ten minutes. Cool, if you've only caught a bit about us on ssn I can understand why you might have formed that opinion but Christ, after I've spoken to you at length about the club and how Tynecastle's not being turned into flats and, outside of the old firm, we're quite successful thank you, at least pretend to have taken in what I've said.

It's to do with the local dialect and accent how words like film are pronounced, I'm sure the "mispronunciation" isn't just localised in Scotland either.

Oxford City Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Many people in Scotland say 'fillum' , as do people in Northern Ireland. Many people in Scotland pronounce the name 'Charles' as 'Charrulz,' while many people in England pronounce it more 'Chaahz.' It's not right or wrong, it's just how people speak.

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Mispronunciations does my head in. Worked with a guy for a year who would pronounce the word "consumer" as "conshumer" Part of his job was dealing with domestic electrical installations in new build houses so "conshumer" units were mentioned about 10 times a day. I wanted to tear his tongue out! Bad manners are my worst seethe inducer. If I start on that I'll be here all night... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Gordons Gloves Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Americans trying to correct how we pronounce our youngest son's name. Dropping him off at preschool the other day and one of the mothers says "and who is this?" (in a friendly way i should add). I say - "Fraser". She looks at me and says "oh, you mean Frasier".... "No" says I, "Fraser". "Yes" she says "Frasier". "No" i repeat "It's FRASER". **** me, honestly - like i'm going to pronounce my own kids name wrong. Daft ****. And the bitch in Starbucks when i asked for a medium coffee corrects my friggin accent. I'm going to go into the store one day and assault her. The Indians that work in my office that gather round the place at the coffee shop where the milk is and take forever to put milk and sugar in whatever they are drinking and have friggin life changing conversations at the same time. Hurry up!! Jay Leno Finally - the guy that sits in the finance dept a few desks away from me (big open plan office) who talks shite all day in a loud voice.

Give me the fecking list and I'll make them for you, you moron. People that stand at the bar, getting in the way of everyone else needing served and then expect to get served whenever they want just because they're stood at the bar. I guarantee I'll have to deal with all the above this weekend. Insurance companies. Money in shares making ?1.27 per year interest. People who write "of" instead of "off". Also getting "they're", "their", "there" wrong. People who spell Tennents, Tennants. Shaving. The noise that Tesco delivery vans make when they reverse. Playing 5-a-sides with people who have no idea how to play. I don't mean being able to pass or shoot. If someone's crap at football I can understand that. It's the idiots who have no idea about tracking runners, stopping the other team playing easy one-twos and trying to beat the entire team themselves that I can't stand. Sellick fans.

BoJack Horseman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This modern trend of using 'of' rather than 'have' - e.g. 'He should of remembered' - Where on EARTH did that abuse of the English language come from? Disgusting. The mark of the uneducated. There was a guy at the semi with the print on his top that said "Should of been" and the number 10 below it.
