    The modern trend of people talking with a rising intonation at the end of each sentence, thus making everything they say sound like they're asking you a question.

    I can't help reading this without my inner voice going into Australian interrogative tone inflection mode!

    Funny that, for me its a brummie accent.

    People who think that they are superior in some way because they can do one inane thing better than you.
    Oh, and midges in my tea.

    While grammar is the theme...

    Folk - invariably from the Home Counties - trying to write in 'Northern' or 'Yorkshire' or whatever their terminology is.

    When I - as a West Yorkshireman - drop 'the' when conveying the message, for example, "In the kitchen", I am in fact rolling 'the' and 'kitchen' into one word, by using an apostrophe to replace the 'he' component of 'the'.

    So it would be written thus: "In t'kitchen". It WOULD NOT be written as "In't kitchen". It works like "don't" and "can't" and it's not that difficult to understand.

    when driving, people who do not say thanks when you let them through a gap. Drives me insane. How hard can lifting a finger off the steering wheel be.

    This, plus people driving with their front fog lights on. WHY?

    As highlighted ALL FLAMING MORNING.

    People in the office who have the sound turned on their company laptop in an open plan office, which means every email, every lync message, every reminder it goes !PING!
    Who use the speaker phone in an open plan office
    Who shout across desks in an open plan office
    Who have the most ridiculous ring tones on their phone and have it LOUD, in an open plan office.
    Who leave their phone on their desk so it rings and rings and rings, in an open plan office.

    Oh, all this is one person.

    If he clicks his fingers, I may kill him.

    You seem to work with the same person as me :lol:

    People who get outraged by a perceived slur against a minority group they are not even part of when the minority group themselves aren't bothered at all.
