Tis Faysh,

When Josh was in hospital for 5 days last Xmas, Janet came to relieve me for a bit so I went out for supplies. I went to the ticket machine, put my ticket in and it told me I owed £30 (was just over 36 hours parking iirc) Like I had 30 quid in change! I pressed the intercom button on the machine and obviously woke some poor security dude up. The legend that he is pressed a button somewhere and opened the barrier remotely for me.

I still owe him a pint.

I'm terrible for using the status on Facebook to rant about everything. It's one of my punch bags...

Edit - nappy adverts. I have a newborn nephew, have spent entire weeks with him, changed him, handled the night shifts etc., I still find the ads on telly totally unneccesary.

Edit 2 - Text speak as well. If you send a long text, and you want to cram it in to save money, then fine, do it within reason e.g. "you" -> "u". Don't shorten everything into gibberish. I'm too old to understand you, and I'm not going to even try.

1. Totally agree, but what annoys me even more on forums is that when two people are having an arguement, one side loses out only to respond about the other's poor grammar. Very irritating.

3.Yeap, that'd be my one worst pet peeve.

PEOPLE WHO ARE INCONSIDERATE ****ING ****ERS!

Mrs Dym nearly got knocked down the stairs at Bank station this morning by some ****er who pushed her because he was in so much of a rush.

I swear it wasn't me. Unless she was getting off the Northern Line southbound at approximately 7:11am and was walking down the stairs on the wrong side. Then I would've had to bring the rain Transformers style.

I thought of another one. We have a spreadsheet detailing all the moves in the building which is managed by some stupid ***** that doesn't know the difference between 12 and 24 hour time. Sometimes its 2pm and sometimes its 14:00pm - THAT'S NOT A TIME!!! I even pulled her up on it once as I mistook it for 4pm and got in trouble for not moving some kit and she still does it

"Txt" speak on Internet forums as well as not capitalizing words that should be, such as "I", it really annoys me when people don't start sentences with a capital and write "i", it's lazy to the extreme.

Also, peoples inability to differentiate between "there/their/they're" and more recently, particularly on OcUK, people who confuse "Bought" and "Brought", they're not even similar! It's not that people don't know them, that I could forgive, but it's the same people doing it again and again, even after being told (and they complain about grammar nazi's even to genuine, polite help), it's their laziness and unwillingness to learn and improve their English.

It drives me up the wall.

I hate spelling nazi's with a capital letter, it gives them sort of an official appearance and I hate them.

But you best hope you get nothing wrong from now til.... ever
