General things that Annoy you

When you text someone your email address and autocorrect replaces your surname with the word "shenanigans".

How the fuck does auto-correct think the 'Shenanigans' is an acceptable replacement for 'Largo'?

; )

"Shenanigans" is a quality word, one of my favourites along with "malarkey".

Add "gerrymandering" to that list

I like that word, but it annoys me that it seems to have been incorrectly used by nearly everyone ever since the invention of the Internet.

Yeah, this malarkey where people abuse the word 'gerrymandering' needs to stop.

Arseheads on Ebay.
Have relisted my other halfs BMW 1 series 3 times, first fella hit buy it now. He wasn't from these shores, turned up to collect with his young son as translator, he thought that 'buy it now' meant he could have a look and haggle, after 20 mins of trying to make him understand, I told him to fuck off, a lot. He understood that.
Buyer number 2 hit 'buy it now' - terms were £100 deposit within 24 hours, balance is cash on collection. Sent him various messages, didn't answer, finally got back to me and told me that he didn't want the car because it was too far to come and collect it. WTF is wrong with people..........

At least 97% of them are just plain fucking stupid.

Granted, there's no excuse for the second one and that would be annoying, but do you really expect someone to buy a car without checking it over and test driving it?

It must be annoying having people waste your time when selling a car but I also don't agree with the idea that webuyanycar and similar seem to perpetuate that a buyer checking a car over is unreasonable. Buying a second hand car is a minefield at the best of times and only an idiot would buy one without taking a good look at it first.

I quite agree. But surely you go and look BEFORE you bid.

Yeah good point. Think I misread it.

Jose Mourinho’s self pity.

He manages the biggest club in the World, is on fabulous money and will be scrutinised. It comes with the job. His petulant outbursts and lack of grace is beginning to wear a bit thin imo.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38836249

Whatever "aura" he had that mesmerised the media in his first Chelsea spell has long since disappeared.
He comes across as boorish and arrogant.
It made me laugh when he got uppity with Conteh about his (admittedly childish) goal celebrations that merely replicate the in-your-face touchline run he did to Ferguson all those years ago.

Adults who don't understand that people have different food tastes to them e.g. someone will taste your food and go "Eurrrghh how can you eat that" or when you say you don't like a certain ingredient "Errrrrmmmagawwdd how on Earth can you not like (insert ingredient here)."

Yes, you are the first person to discover not all 7 billion humans on the planet have exactly the same tastes, you should submit your findings for your honorary doctorate from Fuckwit University you clown.

The gem that always rears up is

'I know it says collection only, but any chance you can post it mate?'

Fucking not really mate, it's a lawnmower.

Totally agree with you, with the exception of people who eat things like kidney, liver and tongue - that is cannibalism and these people are not to be trusted.

People that don't like cake

Imagine the reactions I get when I regularly have to turn down cakes and/or donuts; "No thanks, I'm not a big fan of cake actually" usually turns in to a 15 minute conversation of (a) how lucky I am, (b) how it's so weird, (c) how they can't imagine not liking cake, and (d) how actually they know someone else "like me".

Hilariously I've even had someone tell me "You think you're being so fucking polite, but she baked them specially for the office. Don't you think you're being a bit rude?" after an office bake-off challenge thing for charity last year.

LOLing out of sheer exasperation. Since you are office-based (and you move offices a lot, I presume, due to the nature of your work) not liking pastries (which probably make up 95% of free food brought into offices on a daily basis) must be a nightmare. The thing is, the same people who are so fascinated by what other people do and don't eat and generally piss about chatting shite for half the day are the same ones moaning they never have enough time to get their work done. Maybe if you spent less time gobbing off and shoving as much cake in their mouth as physically possible, they might find some time to drag cells across spreadsheets.

man united and liverpool fans constantly posting shit memes and pics after everytime one of them drops points,

1.) your in fucking london support a local team.

2.) your both as inconsistant as each other and the former have spent so much money.
