What shits ya!

[Whispering_Jack]

So pretty much, you hate cake.

Not far off the mark. I almost never eat dessert.

 

[Doss]

Time for a "The Hangar Carrot Thread"?

There are also white carrots...

People that spoil TV shows/films/books.

It's like they need to show off that they know what's going to happen, even if it means ruining the experience for other people.

I have specifically asked someone I know not to even talk about 3 different shows/books/films, and every time they can't help themselves.

"Oh it's not a spoiler, but you know the twist at the end of The Usual Suspects? Just keep that in mind when you watch this."

FFS, I'm not impressed. Shut the F up.

There needs to be a law that allows a single backhander to these people every time they spoil something.

 

[DapperDon]

What shits me is American English taking over proper English.

The amount of times I get red lines under my words when I know damn well that it's spelt correctly makes me mini rage.

* you Google.

(And yes, I have changed the settings but for some reason US English keeps taking back control)

 

[Doss]

Yep.

Spell checker constantly changing words like realise to realize shits me something shocking.

Another one I really notice these days is people who can't differentiate between 'may be' and 'maybe'.

As in, "that maybe right", rather than the correct "that may be right".

As in, not "that maybe right", rather than the correct "that may be right".

What really shits me is people who can't be bothered right clicking on said red underlined words and clicking "Add to Dictionary"

Most of the time it doesn't even allow me to do that.

* Google, Carlton loving campaigners they are.

iPhone allows you to choose iPhone Language as English (Australia) but proceeds to tell me colour and specialise is spelt wrong or even auto changes it! Why have the choice of the version of English you want if it doesn't change how it recognises words.

Because Steve Jobs was a campaigner.

May be there just lazy.

 

[Doss]

May be there just lazy.

Trust you.

 

[bombersfan4000]

when people say "OMG" instead of actually saying "oh my god"

 

[Doss]

oh em gee!

 

[eth-dog]

People kicking your fingers when doing board breaking.

 

[Doss]

Would have thought having your fingers kicked in any scenario is pretty shitty.

 

[Harlequin]

I do not like when people use the word 'like' in every sentence.

Well yes, but this is the one occasion where I don't have clenched fists.

 

[Jab]

Like, whatevs.

I hate it when you work out a persons favourite terminology and then you just wait for them to say it. I have mentally punched many people for this very reason.

Cyclists who think they're traffic cops.

Oh some guy decided to follow me into the work car park and tell me that the speed limit on the road outside was 50. I asked if it was signposted knowing it wasn't and apparently it doesn't need to be. I mean sure I know I was speeding but it's a perfectly straight road, there was no other traffic in an area with vacant flat land all around. Pretty game of him actually considering the times we live in. How does he know I'm not some crazy mother*er who'd just as soon pull a tyre iron out from behind the seat and lodge it in his head as stand there listening to him pontificate about speed limits?

Did you get even remotely close to knocking him off his bike whilst speeding?
