Correct English is "Me".

Poor Tube etiquette.

1. Let people off the train first!
2. Move down the carriage!
3. Getting a seat as the train momentarily empties at a particular stop is not a higher priority than making sure you don't block people wanting to alight!
4. Move down the platform!
5. Stand behind the yellow line!
6. Don't lean on the doors!
7. There's no room! But there's another train in literally 30seconds!
8. STAND ON THE FUCK1NG RIGHT!

No wait this made me hit me.

If you have a problem with this, give myself a call.

Oh wait, no. Give me a call.

Not that straight forward, is it? But I took a leap of faith that the OP was referring to people who use it like in my example. Otherwise why would it be a rant?

Better not mention Me, Myself and I

Oops. I think he just exploded with rage.

I've known plenty of people to have rants about points of grammar / syntax / spelling / whatever and be completely wrong.

It is indeed the 'give myself a call' rather than 'give me a call' morons that trivially annoy me. Even if i am wrong...it still annoys me.

That's just foolish.

Edit - it's a foolish thing to say. I'd expect that to trivially annoy anyone.

On the Airport terminal transfer bus at Nice airport trying to get off when some numpty placed his suitcases in the doorway so we could not get off, got quite upset when I kicked them off the bus.

The shower cubicle at work is tiny - max 1m x 1m - and the shower itself takes up some of the space in there. I'm the only one who uses it every day, yet 2 others (1 uses it once a week, the other hardly ever) feel the need to leave their shower gels and shampoo's perched on the on/off rail.

Every morning without fail I knock them off the rail and the f*ckers land on my feet/toes.

On the occasions I've moved them they always seem to find their way back.

Yes, this!! I spent weeks ripping all my CDs in WMA format, since its lossless and compatible with Windows Media Player. Of course I was never going to get these files on my mobile so converted them all to M4A (I think) at 128kbs. I had two copies of everything in hi res and low res format. Then bought a Squeezebox Touch and NAS drive, realised WMA is no good so converted all the WMAs to FLAC. So I now have everything in 3 formats. ARGH!!

And I actually never listen to anything anyway.

WMA works fine on my phone (Galaxy)

Fairly sure it worked before on my S3 Mini too, this HTC is a piece of effluent in general, so just something else to add to the list of annoyances i guess

drlodge

I used to have an HTC (Desire) too. Even if it did support WMA, I wanted my CDs ripped in a lossless format which is way too big for a mobile, so had to have a second copy in a much smaller size. It is annoying having to maintain multiple copies of ripped CDs in different formats and/or sizes.

However, that may change if he promises to atone for his sins and put some shiny tarmac in my neck of the woods down.

People who take a slash in the toilet cubicles and don't bother shutting the door so that you don't know there is anyone in there and walk in behind them while unbuttoning which looks very dodgy!!

dinyull

Toilet cubicles without a lock - always when your desperate for a dump.

Having said that, not as bad as a cubicle with the actual toilet missing. That was fun while MASSIVELY hung over on new years day in Glasgow a few years back. Spent all day there too.

That's quite normal in Weegie land. I think all the doors get stolen for some inexplicable reason. Me thinks it's the lost pygmy tribe who escaped from Minigaff some time ago who does it and I think they congregated in Cumbernauld.

People in an open plan office who talk way louder than necessary. Normally in our office anything outside my immediate team is just a background noise but there is woman who works here part time and sits about 30m away yet I can hear every word she says either to others in the office or on phone conversations.

I work with that woman too. She's pregnant. I hope the sprog screams its f'king head off every night :twisted:
