Counter-protests. I support the right to protest as it is a fundamental pillar of free speech and democracy, even if I fundamentally disagree with what protesters are upset about. What I can't stand are the people who specifically turn up at protests to drown out or intimidate the protesters into shutting up. That's just anti free speech.1

People who break at speed cameras so that they are 10mph below the speed limit - just in case presumably.1

They will find its almost impossible to change anything of any real note. But they might find out shuffling and moving chairs is a well paid job.0 -

I agree. Or people that dismiss those protests as people whining. Since when has standing up for something that you believe in become such a dismissed or looked down upon thing just because you do something actionable about it. Not the same but I always think that of strikes. Massive grey area, but I lose my patience in talks at work where people generalise all public sector strikes as people just whinging, they should just get on with it etc....Fiiish said:Counter-protests.

BBC Radio 5Live sport news reports on golf always starting with whatever Rory McIllroy is doing. Whether he is leading by 10 or 20 shots off the lead, all they report on is this curly haired clown as if there are no other golfers in the world.0

On a similar note - golf coverage from America always seems to place Tiger Woods at the top of all the players on the same score on the leaderboard, even when he's played fewer holes. They don't do this with anyone else.Riviera said:BBC Radio 5Live sport news reports on golf always starting with whatever Rory McIllroy is doing.

People who use stupid americanisms such as "my bad" (my bad what? - makes no sense), or "do the math" (should have an 's', but annoying saying regardless), or say "can I get" instead of "may I have" when ordering food in cafes/coffee shops. Talk English that makes sense.
People in coffee shops. A list of annoyances too long to mention.
People serving in shops and cafes who greet you with "are you ok?" instead of "how can I help you" I'm obviously not "ok" if I am standing here waiting to be served, just ask me what I want rather than how I feel.
Commentators who say "saved by the post/bar/woodwork." No, that is a miss. The goal is the bit in the middle, anything outside is a failure to score. Idiots.
people in shops. (ditto, people in coffee shops)
Actually, when I think about it, it might be people in general that annoy me.8 -

Quite agree. A really annoying one in cafes and restaurants is immediately after placing your order with waiter/waitress he/she says "you've got it". No, I haven't.henrythecat said:

The phrase "perfect storm". Used whenever someone wants to make a drama out of an event.
Also , been mentioned lots of time before but worth another, "gate" on the end of any news story.0 - Sponsored links:

"My bad" is something that makes me cringe when I hear it. We have a woman at work who says it amongst other things. Another one of her favourites is "Happy Friday". Every time she says it I get the urge to stab her in the eye with a biro (harsh I know). But I do like the idea of screaming "happy EYEDAY" after doing it!

Clickbait, and the general stupidity that they resort to for clicks.
"This man has been banned from gyms because his muscle-building workout is too successful"
No, he hasn't.4 -
Your password must have a lower case letter, an upper case letter, a number, a non alphanumeric character and the forename of a famous ventriloquist. Please try again.5

The interesting thing is that this in no way makes it harder for a computer or a hacker to break your password but it does make it harder for you to remember it.thai malaysia addick said:Your password must have a lower case letter, an upper case letter, a number, a non alphanumeric character and the forename of a famous ventriloquist. Please try again.
An 8-character password containing a mixture of upper & lower case characters, numbers and special characters is a lot easier to decrypt than a 10-character all lower case password.
Being forced to change your p/word periodically (most employers force you to change your log-ins once a month) don't make any meaningful difference to data protection either. Which is another general annoyance of mine, and the fact that all this leads to is most people in the office just use Password1 then change the number everytime they need to.2 -
I've already been reprimanded for my use of "my bad" already today by @Greenie, now I'm getting torn a new one in here as well!
I'm sorry, I realise what I said was wrong - the phrase is stupid, I agree.
It was said in the heat of the moment, it was a mistake ... one that I will not make again.
Now please, may the CL gods have mercy on me and can this be the last spoken about my error.

My five year old son brings home books to read and we as parents have to write a comment in his reading record about his progress etc. In the book he brought home last night it contained the expression "can I get?
