I've probably said this before, but people saying 'literally' when they mean 'virtually'... "My head literally exploded"

Pacific instead of specific.
Been instead of being
Of instead of have.

Like, especially when Americans say it.
"I goes, so then she goes, so then I go .."
Innit.
Safe.
Actually, pretty much all modern slang.

The thing is, I know parents in 1955 must have said the same thing about "cat, daddy-o, chick", etc and I'm sure in 2000BC they probably said the same about the way someone younger grunted at them ..

Opening a new bottle of milk, screwing the top off + having to peel that little lid thing off. Really gets to me for some reason. Opening tins with ring pulls we’ve now invested in a thingyajig that pulls it open.

Packaging generally.
I think I must have the grip strength of a four year old

The way screw caps are sealed on jars, I’m sure someone in the factory tightens them that little bit more every now and then just for a laugh.

I've got one at the moment. A jar of piccalilli that I can't open. I dislocated my thumb years ago and it didn't go back properly, so I haven't go a very strong grip on my right hand. Will have to get one of those gizmo's that NW has.

Innit. A chav in a box
Safe. A chav in a locked box

The modern trend when you phone a company & the person you’re talking to calls you by your christian name without asking you if it’s alright to do so. I find this practice disrespectful.

Another moan women mainly who go into supermarkets with their pj’s on What’s that all about ? First time I saw someone dressed like this my wife told me off for gawping at her.
