Re: Your very petty pet hates

Americanised English where I come from it's not a bloody Cupcake it's a bun, people who say fink instead of think (sorry cockneys but it grinds), British hip hop fans who think and talk as if they are from the Bronx ie Yo money and yall (which goes back to my first point) and most of all people who do not say please and thank you there's no need for it. There's a lot more but I'll leave it at this for now

I'm with you on the cup cake thing. Whatever happened to fairy cakes? And what was ever wrong with a thin layer of dribbly icing and some hundreds and thousands? I detest these big so called cup cakes with ridiculously huge swirls of icing on top. I find them extremely unappetising to look at.

and while I'm at it, a muffin is a round, flat bread type thing. Not a cake full of blueberries!

Found footage horror movies (horror? Ha, that's a laugh!) also get up my nose. Too many of them being made. Bring back Amicus and Hammer now!

People scrapping classic cars to get £2500 off a Korean washing machine when the scrappage scheme was running. The stories i read about people taking good classic cars into dealers made me mad. I remember reading about one guy taking in an E-Type Jag! Madness. Glad they stopped it.

Several years ago we had something similar called "Cash for Clunkers." All it did was raise the price of used cars as all those "clunkers" were taken off the market.

People who think it is fair game to speak to me like dirt because I wear a uniform at work.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

Twin tub washing machines still around no doubt in some peoples kitchens that havent worked for donkeys years but wont part with them

Never used one but they do seem like quite the faff. Some people still have them though. A friend of my mother had one until quite recently and only got rid of it because it had started to leak. My mother had to talk her through modern day washing machines and how wonderful they are compared to twin tubs. "What, you mean I can put the washing in and set it going and LEAVE IT? Like, go out somewhere and come back and it's done? Are you sure?" Lol.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

what people actually do that.

i suppose its nostalgia related.
yeah keeping old machinery video players etc that dont work and clutters the place can be annoying.
