"This is an automatic email, please do not reply to this address"
Sod off. If you gave a shit about customer service you would set the Reply-To (not the sender) address to your customer service team.

Going to have to raise two other contenders for his most annoying habits:
Spending 30 seconds describing the "flow" from kitchen to lounge just because it's open plan, which we can see for ourselves on screen.
Pronounciation of architect as "ar'i-tek"
Also find myself groaning when the people will have a 70k budget and "small contingency", then by the end of it have spent 110k with no explanation at all.
Infuriating programme which I sit through just for the 3 minute reveal at the end despite every house having 90% of the same features.

Are people under the age of 15 really using the words rad or dope though.

Those are all great 80s/90s words. I also am a big fan of 'gnarly'

not in keeping with the character of the area
Grand Designs Abroad was the worse for that. Wealthy Brits scoffing at country folks because they're not "getting" their architectural monstrosity. Or despairing that their local builder hasn't got a subscription to Dezeen and aren't in sync with their mood board.

The scoffing at international mens day is largely warranted but whenever I hear comfortable middle class men laughing at the concept I can't help but feel they're forgetting the millions of child soldiers, male suicide and cancer prevalanece and the other very real issues that international mens day exists to promote awareness of.
Of course, as soon as it's imagined non existence is used to demean international women's day, thats a sure fire sign of a cunt.

Really interesting and positive discussion about this on an episode of The Bunker podcast this week. Worth a listen.

Men can share children's day, seeing as most of the men I know act like total babies.

100% serious question about when Chinese men's day is.
Obviously my less serious middle-class scoffing was at bellends who ask the same question every year, not the actual day said bellends seem to forget every year.

You did a lighting module?! Where?
My hosting company arguing that their price didn't increase, after sending me a bill and then my last bill from 5 years ago and then saying "we do not have a 5 year plan" even though that's clearly what I had paid for 5 years ago. Idiots.
