Swarley Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Menus that don't specify what unit of currency, e.g. 7.00 or 7.50 rather than £7.00 or £7.50.

Stellaboz Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 And for that matter, you can add people who loudly declare how much they hate football to this list. Or gormless fuckers, normally bored housewives who watch Love Island and suck off the postman, who like saying "football fans are a bunch of hooligans" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a useless work colleague who calls everyone mate when fobbing work off. I’m watching “Call The Cops” and the police call everyone “mate”. 12 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: A spotty 17 year old youth called me “mate” in a shop the other day. p***k.

Gaz FFC Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Monday night and the lady of the house I'm working in puts on Capital. It's competition time and to enter you have to text the word Win to them. They proceed to spell the 3 letter word. Don't really think a lot of the listening public I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Conservative writer Theodore Dalrymple once wrote a column about how he hated being called mate and would ask people not to. I was looking for it with reference to this thread but instead found this from one of his other articles, great use of mate.Once, while out walking my dog, a car full of young men drew up to me, and I thought they would want directions to a road nearby. Instead, the driver said to me, ‘Excuse me, mate, can you tell me which way the prostitutes are?’ At that time, there were street-walkers not very far away, all of them drug-addicts: was it right or wrong to tell the young men where to find them? I compromised, and gave them only the vaguest of directions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His answer - nah it's better to get it right up them straight in their faces. Sounds really fucking friendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I only really noticed this last night watching the news and realised it annoyed me, but it's been going on since we started filming things. News reporter will be interviewing someone, the camera will be fixed on the person being interviewed. Then, at any given random point, the camera will switch to the interviewer showing them slowly nodding along, even if whatever has been said doesn't require a nod of understanding. I know there's probably some wanky film makers reason for doing this, but it seems utterly pointless to me. I can't find a proper gif of this happening, so here's one that sort of makes my point: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete waste of time as I suspected then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
