People that drink half a 500ml bottle of a soft drink then put in the fridge to finish later.

**** OFF and just drink the damn thing already!

*ahem*

People who list shoes on eBay and don't know what a wedge heel is :/

I really shouldn't care as I don't know them from Adam... but today I saw a reply by someone else to a friends photo upload and comment on FB. He'd had his picture taken with a minor celeb.... the reply.... 'Noway u lucky **** lol. X'

Now I'll ignore the fact that 'Noway'(sic) is two words not one, but the starred out word is the not so polite version of foof. This update was from a girl, maybe I am a very old fashioned old fart but really is this nice langauge for a girlie? There is only one place a lady might use that word, but in general chit chat isn't one of them.

I hate that word, I hear it at football and it drives me mad.

My rant for today, having to sit in meeting after meeting from 9am til 3pm, with 15 minutes for lunch, I've got brain ache.

Also, social workers who aren't doing their job properly!

Girls shouldn't swear, it's not right

Especially the C word - nobody should say that

I remember reading in a psychology journal about some tests done on people from around the country, seeing how they rated trustworthiness of people in a video who were reading pre-written statements they'd translated into their local idiom.
Consistently the scousers ended up the least trustworthy, and whilst attire made a difference to the score, even the smart suited businessman types came out with lower trust rating than their non-scouse equivalents.

My most recent irrational (or rational) annoyance is the showers at work - it's great that we've got them and all that but surely it can't be beyond the ken of mankind to create showers that don't vacilitate between Arctic temperatures and sub-Saharan heat seemingly completely at random. I've tried working it out to see whether additional people using the other showers affects the temperature but it doesn't seem that there is any particular link that I can find as it just switches between hot and cold without a pattern that I can discern - if there is a pattern it's of a complexity that makes the mysteries of the universe seem small beer in comparison.

My best guesses are that we've either just got moody showers or there's actually a sadist operating the temperature controls with a hidden camera showing everyone doing the scalded monkey dance while they gently cackle to themselves.
