First world gripes…

This thread is to allow you your petty gripes! Not the life changing social/political issues, but those niggles which show the chinks in your otherwise superior armour! Especially if it’s actually amusing :wink:
No need to explain yourself…

The word “You’s” instead of “You”… as in the phrase “Are you’s going for a Bacardi Breezer in town after work?” :rage:

An office habitual throat - clearer, cougher, loud chewer, desk tapper…tolerance is not my forte and noises in particular can really get to me, especially when tired.

Cyclists shouting “ clear “ to their lemming mates every time they come to the junction on our road. Particularly at 07.30 this morning. I’ve a good mind to sit there and shout “ clear” even if it’s not. That should stop them…

I particularly like ‘Escape goat’. It goes beyond bad English and bounds gaily in to surreal parody.

‘Pacifically’ is a shooting offence, though.

Incorrect use of there, their, they’re. It really not difficult.
