Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

[Del Lardo]

Anyone who has posted on social networking in the last few days using the words 'rain' and 'drought'.

Anyone who posts in the comments sections on news websites bitching about drought restrictions being in place despite a whole week of rain.

The amount of fricking rain we've had in the last 24 hours

The ignorance of it all just makes me laugh really

The word 'gutted'. It's like the majority of people (certainly those on the TV ) have forgotten every other word and expression in the english language that describes disappointment.

It used to be devastated. E.g. "My pet tortoise died during hibernation - I'm absolutely devastated".
I used to scream at the telly "No, you're not ****ing 'devastated'. If your entire family had died in a house fire, you'd be devastated. Your tortoise died, you're upset not ****ing devastated!"

Thankfully you don't hear it so much nowadays - probably because everybody is gutted instead and annoying Mubs

Things that tell you not to do something.... e.g... do not press back on the browser.

Do not press the red button!

You wanna press it right?!

So now you know why I do what I do when you say "don't do that...."

I have a friend who insists on saying "Mortified" for everything. Nearly always in the wrong context. I had a Princess Bride moment with her and she basically said she didn't care and liked the word so would use it whenever she wanted.

So now I'm treated to gems like "I had to get a twenty out because they had no tens. I was mortified".

"It's freezing. I'm mortified"

"I went to the shop on Friday, they had no carrots. I was mortified".

"I'll be mortified if I have to walk into town"

Sometimes I think she must do it on purpose just to wind me up. It's all I can do to not stuff my fist into my mouth to stop me saying something. She will be bloody mortified one day, in the TRUE context of the word!
