    People who, when you miss a call from them by seconds and then phone them back instantly, don't pick up. What do they do? As soon as my phone cuts off, chuck theirs away? Sprint from the landline? They they wait until I'm furthest from my own phone before calling back

    Mrs Otto is the worst for this. To be fair though, her signal from the cupboard under the stairs is quite weak.

    my sister does this but what makes it worse is that, because she can't really afford her phone, she's only ever giving me a dropped call so I can call her back. The sole reason she rings is to get me to ring back and she still doesn't bloody answer

    for the last week I've been unable to change channel on the tv without holding the remote control way above my head due to the pile of presents in the way of the box

    Who's gonna carry an air spray round with them?
    Most people will just carry on getting out of the bog as quick as they can when they've left it in a state and making sure there's no one around to associate them with the smell.

    But that's just an abbreviation when writing. You don't pronounce it Exmas.

    Nothing to be with! Xmas is a quick way of writing Christmas, nothing more. If you don't understand that and pronounce it Exmas and not Crissmass then I'm afraid you've simply misunderstood. It is not something to get annoyed about.

    e.g Slades classic festive song Merry Xmas Everybody.

    Getting a message from my neighbour to say that our phone had been ringing all day (we were out) and checking that everything was ok. After worrying for ages who was so desperate to get hold of us, get home home and fund that actually some twat had texted our landline

    There’s a number of things that irritate rather than outright annoy me.
    What really annoys me is people hanging/displaying the Union Jack back to front.
    People who pull up in the outside lane at a red light and then when the lights change to green put their indicator on to turn right leaving you stuck behind them.
    Xmas rather than Christmas has become much more acceptable over the years but I bet most of us old ‘uns don’t like it very much.....a bit lazy/sloppy and really started by shop traders as being ‘trendy’ back in the 50’s, if my memory serves me right.
    I and my family never liked it or used it.

    From Wiki

    Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, which in English is "Christ". The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass.

    There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas", but its use dates back to the 16th century.

    You’re not wrong - I don’t actually think they have cleaned those bogs since the NYE game. The ground on the Whole is a cess pit.

    Well it bloody well isn't there now!

    Hermes drivers who tick the box to say your delivery is in the back garden then hand it to the people across the road without telling you.

    But at least it's here after all.
