Especially when it's dripping down your hand and going up your sleeve.cabbles said:F'n work toilet roll holders. Let's make it akin to participating in a 'skill' game on the crystal maze by trying to negotiate getting toilet roll out of the holder. The one I'm working on as I write this as has a tiny space in which to get your hand up and into, to try and get a loose end. Ridiculous.

Being called 'John', 'Mate', 'Geezer', 'Bruv', 'Boss' etc, when someone doesn't know your name. Just ask me my bloody name and then use it.

I'd suggest that if somebody called you John, they do know your bloody name and have used itValleyGary said:

Nope. I've been called John by total strangers. It was (is?) commonly used in North West Kent.cafcnick1992 said:

People who get annoyed by the use of a non-specific term by someone who doesn't know their name.johnny73 said:Being called 'John', 'Mate', 'Geezer', 'Bruv', 'Boss' etc, when someone doesn't know your name. Just ask me my bloody name and then use it.
Seriously though, if someone is saying 'thanks', 'excuse me', 'sorry' or whatever, the addition of a 'mate', 'pal', 'squire', 'dude' or similar either indicates a lack of aggression or just slightly personalises without implying that they want to be your friend. It's just good manners and social etiquette.
Why do you want them to ask your name? Maybe they don't want to know the name of a helpful stranger or someone they've accidently bumped into or some bloke who's obliviously standing in their fucking way.
Know what I mean guv? :-)9 -

Nothing wrong with calling someone "mate" if you don't know their name. Not the sort of thing to get annoyed about surely.0

Bit chavvy. I adjust my language according to who I'm with and I'd only call randomers 'mate' at the football or the darts.

Then I realise he says that to everyone.3 -
People who post on the Post Match Views thread who weren't at the game or didnt even see it on TV.
If I can't get to a game I want to read an opinion of someone who was there, not someone who is guessing what it might have been like.
Toffee Apples. They annoy me as well with their treacly gooey outside hiding mouldy apples.3 -

When fans sing a quick, sped up version of their anthems. Liverpool fans, for example, sing you'll never walk alone mid game but it sounds nothing like the original record.
Sing it at its proper tempo or don't sing at all.1 -

When Liverpool fans sing at all. Period. You'd have to travel a long way to find a group of people more annoying than their constant dirges that sound like a group of lobotomised gorillas trying to sing Sweet Child of Mine.cafcnick1992 said:When fans sing a quick, sped up version of their anthems.

The inconsiderate idiot who through a half full can of beer into my empty recycle bin today.
Had to take it out and hose the bin down and leave it upside down to dry before any recyclable stuff can be put in.7 -

Absolutely this. I'm convinced it was started as a piss take, then a load of sheep copied it thinking it looked cool. Looks ridiculous.markwebb25 said:People who think it's cool to go out with their top button done up on a casual shirt.

Some poor French peasant accidentally put garlic in a meal and pretended that is what they do 'in the city'. Others copied, trying to be fashionable and then someone from the city saw this new fangled garlic being used in the country and took the idea of it back with them and the cycle perpetuated until garlic invaded cooking all due to a mistake as no one would deliberately use it.
