    This is an annoying phrase I get in a letter (usually posted to me) after a job interview...

    Thank you for attending the interview for [insert job role], dated [insert date here]. I regret to inform you...

    You don't need to read the rest.

    I really hate it when people who go travelling talk about "doing" a country e.g. "I've done Brazil, next I'm going to do Peru".

    I'm guilty of that, usually in the context of fairs/parks... e.g. "I've done Alton and Drayton, but still gotta do Thorpe."

    This annoys me. You can never "do" a country... there will be always be places that you haven't visited, sights you haven't seen etc etc.


    I do quite a lot of these annoying things in this thread though :chin:

    I'm annoyed when people use singular to refer to people/things in one category. I think they don't do that in English, but I'm mentioning it anyway.

    As in "The greek person doesn't like that" or "The man's voice is deeper" or "The cat has claws" etc.

    This is more of a spelling rant - when people write Rachael as 'Rachel'. My rant applies the other way round too, but it's normally this way round (7->6) because 99% of the human race assumes that Rachels are spelt with 6 letters. I blame the Americans :-P

    Movie is the American term.

    There are many American terms that are annoying. I am willing to let them use our language, but when they correct me, incorrectly - that does get on my tits.

    lol. I'm guilty of doing that sometimes, but what is better, keeping the truth from someone so they aren't annoyed, or ridding the world of ignorance?

    One thing I find annoying is when someone vegetarian/vegan calls a substitute to something their meat/dairy counterpart. Like vegan bacon etc. It's not!

    :yeees: What is it then? It's a VEGAN version of an animal product. Normally, it's called meat free bacon. Which it is.

    Yea but I cant even have an opnion in my house without being told its wrong.

    E.g. we were walking home one day and I said 'Aww look at the cute squirrel' and next thing i know its 'umm actually, grey squirells are evil bastards who killed all the red ones bla bla bla'. Jesus all I said is that it was cute!!! To make it worse it was 6 in the morning and none of us had slept all night so i was ready to kill him with my bare hands
