Open plan offices in general

Get the barriers back up..

I can’t remember who pointed this out or even if it was in this thread or not, but I now can’t stop getting annoyed every time someone calls it a ‘Dirty Harry’ lever. Even google is second guessing me.

Toilets with an automatic flush. They start flushing whilst you're trying to wipe your arse and then refuse to flush when they should do. Even more annoying are the ones in airports that flush every 30 seconds as you're attempting to get changed in the cubicle and keep tripping the sensor.

Oh, and urinals that flush a gallon of water after every person has been. Have Americans not yet worked out waterless urinals yet.

Now please wash your hands ...

i hate - semi dead huge fly buzzing around somewhere in the lounge behind the sofa i cant reach

Fog lights. I have actually needed to use them once in real life. I have been blinded by them 2 trillion times.

I would rather take my chances driving off a foggy cliff than have my eyeballs lasered out every time I get in a car

Cunts that, on a clear day, turn rear fog lights on as they enter a motorway sometimes in the daytime.

The way Shazam shakes its head petulantly when it doesn't know the song for the millionth time (I should really stop using it)

People that add salt and pepper to soup without even tasting it.

Fucking monsters.

The way I have to ask Google anything in an American accent as it can't understand my Glasgow accent.

My dad is an ‘autocondimentor’ and it fucks me right off. I make a point of adding almost too much salt to anything I cook for him, so when he adds salt without tastIng it first, it’ll be vile.

"Next episode" spoilers on iplayer.

Way to ruin the cliffhanger fucknuggets.

autocondimentor

Wouldn't this mean that he seasons himself?

wasps

you fucking hateful dangerous aggressive little shits.

"oh but they won't hurt you!"

"FUCK OFF!" I have to carry an epipen because of these little cunts. They keep coming into the house and I then have to try to encourage them to leave. For some reason I find it hard to stay calm and focus on the task at hand when there is a flying source of potential death buzzing around me.

And once I have seen a wasp my fear gets triggered by all other flying insects, so the sound of a fly makes me hyper anxious.

Probably, yes. Blame Terry Pratchett - I believe he coined the term.

I salute your (almost extinct) use of "coin the phrase/term" in a way that recognises the meaning.

People who add "to coin a phrase/term" after using a cliché, entirely unironically. Although they're not actually as bad as the ones who do it ironically - it was only ironic the first time somebody did it, you cunts. You're on Morissette levels of unironic when you try it.

I believe you are wrong - it is increasingly ironic every time it is repeated. And doubly so given that 'to coin a phrase' is also a cliche. Whether that was their intention, or whether you are annoyed by it, is a different matter.

I think it became a cliche from ironic use as per your description. Then people continued to use the phrase unironically, being unaware that when they originally heard the incorrect use, it was being delivered ironically.

I actually think Morisette has a full grasp of irony, as shown by penning a song called ‘ironic’, supposedly about ironic situations but actually containing none.

We're violently agreeing here. They're intending one irony and falling flat. That's an irony, but they get no credit from me. It wasn't their idea. And they're cunts.

ive said it before, but the immediate rush to buy items for any situation. "Cleaning bootcamp" has required several new brushes, sets of cloths, broom and multiple cleaning products.

also, things being called bootcamps

Terry Pratchett "coined a phrase", to coin a phrase. I coined that, me.
