wearealldoomed Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 What gets on my nerves is no shops near my flat selling powercards after 8pm, forcing me into a 3 mile round trip on foot to stop the fucking lights going out!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McB Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Except in chemistry, where American is right, regardless of how long we've been spelling words. Science generally - haematology, foetus, oesophagus and fecking sulphur (no it's not spelt with an f!) are all words that Americans can't spell, and the American spellings have already, or are gradually becoming standard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sence but I got sidetracked yesterday and ended up in a pub all night instead of buying one and then left me swipe card thingy in the hoose this morning due to my hungover state. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Couple of more annoying things: People who have emoticons for near enough every f'cking word on MSN,so that when they type something it takes about 5 minutes (or longer) to work out what the hell they've typed. Also,wireless mice seem brilliant,but they don't half piss you off when the batteries are going down and they stop working every 5 minutes. Ggrrr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to punch the fanny who did that When I worked for Lifescan in complaints we had to ensure that we wrote using Americanisms to make sure the stupid c***s could undertsand us!

Ahhh thats fair enough the way you said it, sounded like this was a regular occurance. When we used to do the card things, we always made sure we had atleast a spare $5 card lying around in case of emergency Writing the date back to front was a nightmare! Yeah it has taken me about 3 years to start doing that automatically. Ill often still have the dates the wrong way round. It confused me when i was told happy birthday on the 1st of August when buying beer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Some people's responses to winning prizes on gameshows. Fair does, if you've just won ' Who Wants' To Be A Millionaire' or something of that ilk, then pretty much any response can be merited, but.... why do people, when on small prize gameshows (there's one on itv i think, but i don't know it's name ) after winning, say, £3000 say 'Oh my God, I don't believe it'? Why do you not believe it?!?! You've just phoned up and given the answer you thought it was and you knew what the prize was before you phoned in! Believe it. You've just phoned in with an answer, so you obviously DO think it's the right answer! Rant Over.

Andy Dufresne Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Well judging by all the Muslims I've seen, (and there's a lot at my school), they arrive late for class and don't bother going to sports, and tell us to our faces that they are better than us because they are Muslim. They give us dirty looks as well! Sorry Abdul Abda, but it's you that shouldn't be in this country in the first place! Go back to your own country. One of them turned up 20 minutes late for sports, of which the headmaster is in charge. He asked , 'Why are you late?'. The Muslim boy said, 'I watch TV.' Their stupid headscarves really annoy me as well! Show your face, FFS! Their religion should be something that isn't flaunted for everyone else to see, especially when you're just about put off your lunch, because some stupid Muslim girl is attempting to get food underneath her f'king birka into her mouth, and spilling it all over the place! It's enough to put anyone off food for life. Rant over! And breathe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think if there's something that you really feel strongly about, then most people on here do rant, yes. I don't really think I do (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm pretty relaxed about most stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
