minor things that make you fume

[Charles Hawtrey]

Personal hate the use of the word ‘Grab’ in store signage , like “just grab and go” who wants to grab something you are going to eat? Grab is what the president does.....
Grab is such a vulgar word.

The Parents race at the end of the kids sports day.

"Are you joining in ?"

No I'm not joining in, as I really don't want to look an utter tit in front of loads of other people, and Sport Billy doing stretches on the start line looks a certainty, in fact he looks like he's put 12 months training into this moment and I think he maybe actually be wearing running spikes.

Even had other parents mention 'what happened there'.
Sending bad messages out to youngsters with that. Whats the point in trying.

There is a bloke I work with and whenever I say something to him he says it back to me, but with the opposite meaning of what I have just said. It’s quite confusing, so I will give an example;

He says to me over the phone “are you in London or Manchester today?”

I respond, “I am in Manchester”
He says “ So, you’re in London”
I say, “No, I’m in Manchester”

If this happened once or twice, you might think it was an accident, but it happens everyday, sometimes it’s trivial stuff like that, sometimes it’s big stuff. I am a little worried about him, he is a bit old, so might be developing some form of dementia, but he might just be thick
