Nick Hewer on Countdown - whoever thought it was a good idea to replace Lord Stelling with him should be shot.

Chucking items in the shopping basket I wouldn't have bought if they weren't on a big display saying "half-price" or "buy one get one free" offer - then getting home and finding on the receipt it's not actually implemented on their system and the gits have charged full price for the lot
Co-op and Iceland seem to be the worst offenders.

Yeah I've had that problem at my Co-op as well, I always check my receipt as I'm walking out now if I've picked up anything on offer.

Well I could probably be playing my freshly repaired Wii today.... that is if someone actually told me it would be delivered today!

I get home tonight to find a delivery note saying Yodel have been and gone. As it happened I was actually in all day until 3pm, it's almost as though they wait for you not to be in.

Found out that a so-called internet acquaintance of mine has succumbed to terminal cancer. It was bound to happen very soon, but I was still quietly hoping I could meet him at some point. The man was inspiring.

non paying bidders on ebay, its just happend AGAIN. Why waste my time by bidding on somthing they dont want. I have to go through the trouble off opening an unpaid item case just so I can get my fees back, then adding them to my blocked buyers list its not like in the good old days when I could leave them neg feedback

Megaupload being shut down....and then a few other big filesharing sites (ie. Filesonic) imposing strict restrictions in the wake of it.

I certainly don't advocate piracy before anybody asks, but things like this have bigger implications....I don't really see it as being a good thing for the internet in general at all

Hearing fellow Brits say the word 'dude'.

Also, hearing Brits pronounce words the way people in the USA most commonly do, e.g. the word 'privacy'.

[Antiriad2097]

^ Niche is my particular bugbear for that. It is not a nitch.

[mohicankid]

i say DUDE a lot i'm afraid, i know its an americanism but being a teen of the ninety's its a word i heard a lot, in tv, in movies and in day to day life, so its pretty much a part of my natural vocabulary...as are AWSOME and COOL!

Dude is ok for me, it is 'like' that kills me.

'Hey, like this is a totally awesome forum, dude!'

[Antiriad2097]

i say DUDE a lot

But when you say it it sounds quite natural. Must be the accent. Or the hair.

Workplace phones that constantly beep really loudly when somebody else is trying to get through on the same line. How am I supposed to hear the current caller when the damn phone keeps making that noise? It's like it's telling you to fob the current customer off to get to the next one.

like is one of the more annoying "filler" words people use when the are trying to work out what to say next!
my father being a career soldier, i inherited his use of the F word for that perpouse!
