Pet Hates

I slow down to slightly below the speed limit when people tailgate me, if it's a 4 lane road sometimes I can lock up with somebody in the right lane who's also going the speed limit. I do this just to infuriate you because you're being discourteous. 

I know I'm kind of a bad person.

They do that in the US too, it's because of taxes or something I think.

Tailgaiters(the drivers, not the partiers), People who don't flush the toilet, and people who use "the reason is because..."

I can deal with the fact that I have to spell my last name all the time, but I hate that some people here can't pronounce my first name either. My personal bug-bear is people who put superfluous vowels on the end of my name. My name is deliberately short because my parents hated names that could be truncate so purposely chose a one syllable name for me. Adding more syllables is going against the wishes of my parents and it is not my name. The diminutive of Dean is Dean - adding extra syllable makes it longer, Deano cannot be the diminutive form.   I don't care for people refering to me by my surname alone either - but that's throw-back to school where teachers called girls by their given names and boys by their family names.

My parents did the same thing.  I have a one syllable first name, as do my brothers.  That doesn't stop people calling me Jim, Jimbob or Jamie.

Here's my all on the archives: people giving something a verbal x.5 rating and rounding down.  You know who you are and it's mathematically incorrect. 

Your punishment: go back to all the reviews where you did this and make it either an x.4 in your verbage (and why the hell is the official dictionary version of this word verbiage? ) or up your star rating properly.

Maybe this will help:

v There's supposed to be a reason why gas is priced like that.  I've heard it before, but it wasn't convincing so I don't remember what it was.

I really hate that service that some people activate on their mobile phones that attempts to convert your voice message into SMS text delivered to their handset. It only leaves sufficient time to blurt out "It's erm me and I was wondering...." before some half deranged smug bitch chips in with "Your message has been sent as an SMS text message"

Mine gets pronounced like the French word for donkey...

I beg to differ.

No they don't. They grow under ground.
