I'm much more aware of this these days. Not sure if it's just me getting older and more easily irritated, but aside from that, it doesn't sound healthy and if it were me I'd be concerned. It's entirely young men in their 20s & 30s. What bothers me more I think is when they make no attempt to contain whatever they end up doing. Sat at a table on the train? Aye, sneeze all over it mate, no bother. Got a roaring cough? Into the office you go pal. One of very few positives that could have come from Covid is hopefully a greater awareness by people of even half-arsed public hygiene. Seemingly lasted until about early 2021 at best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm that petty. Petty, but principled. First time I heard of (and rejected) a mac and cheese was just under a year ago. I thought it was a cheeseburger. Since then, I've rejected it several times on the basis of it having the wrong name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started getting the train home on Friday nights from one job, as there was a 50-50 chance that the bus driver would draw up and tell the crowd, "sorry folks, I'm away back to the depot, some c**t pished/vomited/shat on the floor in here". Also, surprised that the Club Dece boys haven't been on to own the fact that the "oh my days" thing came from those godawful "reality" shows like TOWIE that they helped spread the argot of. We live in the nightmare of their creation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The egregious thing about that is the grammar. In China I kept being told off as I wasn't slurping, and that was very impolite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm that petty. Petty, but principled. My pal orderd Mac N Cheese when we were out once. I thought he'd ordered a burger not a tin bath full of quick lunch, store cupboard basics. He's a good guy generally, but he went down in my estimation after this. At least he saved time ordering his food instead of having to go to all the bother of saying Macaroni Cheese.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always think this should be said with hands apart to give an idea of 'so much' - close together for just a wee bit more than a normal thank you, hands wide apart for loads more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of very few positives that could have come from Covid is hopefully a greater awareness by people of even half-arsed public hygiene. Seemingly lasted until about early 2021 at best. It is 4 years ago this month since the first lockdown. And suddenly hygiene was king, hand washing, mask wearing, sanitising maniacs. if you even looked like sneezing it was enough to cause a panic. And here we are back to being a nation of predominately manky b*****ds that won't even wash their hands after using the bogs in the pub. It really annoys how quickly the scummy behaviour rose to the surface again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 At Nighthawks in Alloa, back in the day, I was stood at a urinal next to a guy who was smoking. He dropped his cigarette into the bowl, plucked it back out, wiped the end of it and put it back in his mouth. The place oozed class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro-Kann Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I get annoyed when I see 24hr clock times postfixed with am/pm, in particular the latter as 15:00pm makes no sense; I'm looking at you ICT as the most recent offender. I decided to not be a 24hr clock martyr and turn up at 3am (15hrs post meridian from 9th March) on the Sunday morning for the kick-off! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
