Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Folk who write the 'Mc' in names as 'Mac'.
I frequently see folk referring to a fast food chain called Macdonalds, and the Scotland manager Macleish.


On a tangent, when people (usually English) add ‘Mc’ as a prefix to something to highlight that it’s Scottish or in somehow make it Scottish and think it’s clever.

Bit worried that you picked out Mrs Bs name, but equally, you managed 4 spellings of it and never got the right one.

What a confusing time for trying to figure out if an internet stranger is genuinely pumping my wife or not....
Is her middle name Dawn? Wid!

Took today off because I've been working too hard. Wake up, take a bath and wander downstairs to find my missus has decided to work from home. 
Amen brother, hiding in the bath as I type. No Pink Floyd or The Who at a stupidly high volume for me today, we are not amused.

Not having Mc/Mac standardised is always a PTTGOYN for me. Someone could say their surname is McKenzie. It could be spelled McKenzie, MacKenzie, Mackenzie. They all sound the same. See also Lynsey, Lyndsey, Linsay, Lindsay....
I've got a Mac middle name and my missus still doesn't know how to spell it.
Hmmmm, i wonder why you are so fixated on the different spellings of McKenzie & Lynsey. Was this an epiphany or a Dawn of the mind? PS , I know, bring on the McBain.

You're right - must be subliminal. A Dunfermline figure, who may have been mentioned elsewhere on here recently got into a rammy with bouncers at a Sunday Sport tour event in the town as he thought his £10 or £20 lapdance from Ms McKenzie "would at least entitle him to a feel of her tits".

I wouldn't worry about it. Lindsey likes being called all sorts of names.

Necromancy at best her "tits" would have been long gone by that point. On another point, it is quite annoying being Scottish and having the surname Nicol in England right now. PTTGOYN thread for this pish I know, but we are not all fucking related.

True enough when you're meeting somebody for the first time but the OP gave the examples of Macdonald's and Macleish and for household names like those there's no excuse for getting them wrong.

Mrs Mathematics goes tonto when her name is spelled MacDonald instead of Macdonald. Apparently there’s a big difference. I can never work it out between the shouts of “the fucking Campbells “.

My wife hates when her surname is spelled MacDonald as well. That's because her surname is Stewart though.

Dog owners who don't seem to hear their dogs barking. 5am this morning there was one yapping away for a good 10 minutes. The same one (sounded like it) did the same thing at half 6. Who the f**k hears that and doesn't think to either tell the dog off or get it in the house? Absolute fucking scumbag behaviour.

Sorry - I meant this guy was mentioned on here recently. The incident was back in the mid 90s when they were still natural.

My old flat was like that. 7am every Saturday and Sunday morning the old cunt across the back from me would let his fucking little p***k of a dog out and it would bark for 20 minutes solid.

It eventually stopped when my next door neighbour threatened both the dog and his owner with prolonged physical violence.

Clocks that still haven't been changed three days later - bus I was on, shop I was in and coffee machine at my work (which for some reason has a clock).

As Jimmy Calderwood used to say, "Sloppy".....

You should worry about clocks being an hour out- it's still 1690 in some places in Scotland...
