You've been reading the 'Comments' on the Cambridge News website again, haven't you? You forgot the capitalisation of the 'w', just in case people miss the hilarity of the poster's rapier wit.I will hunt you down, stab your mother in the face and eat your first-born raw.

100% spot on... that's EXACTLY where I saw it!
Expressions like 'awesome dude', or just 'awesome, or 'dude'.
Every time I hear 'awesome' the one thing I know for sure is that whatever or whoever is being described is not going to fill me with awe.
'Dude' sounds like the sort of word someone who characteristically wears knee length shorts would use.

The other half cleans floors, shoes, anything but the kitchen work surfaces with the kitchen cloth. Disgusting, it drives me nuts.
This. Oh yes, a hundred times this.'Her' most regular offence? Wiping down the draining board and thereby soaking the tea towel, before going on to 'dry' up the cutlery and crockery with the same (wet) tea towel.
Also, members of my household (who all vehemently deny that it's them doing it) that put glasses back, rim downward, in the cupboard before drying them properly. So that water pools at the bottom, trapped inside the glass, and when I get a glass out to use, I have to wash the damned thing all over again. Because it's odds-on that they won't have rinsed it either, and it'll have a soapy, sticky residue around the rim, not just water!

New rule required? Glasses should only be put back in cupboard on their base? Would stop the rim (titter) coming into contact with the shelf / cupboard.'Her' most regular offence?

Although, it sounds like that would just be a new rule to be ignored

Put some kitchen towel on the shelf?
Re-train them to stand the glass on it base.
Re-train them to put them back 'the other way up'???Re-train them to stand the glass on it base.
I've been married 25 years this year. For that whole time I've been trying to "re-train" my lovely wife, and for almost as long, our offspring, to just leave the damned washing up in the drainer for ten to fifteen minutes, because that way the drainer does it's job, and 'drains excess water', which combined with air-drying means you seldom have to even tickle the stuff with a tea towel. But no. She still insists on drying one item before the next one gets rinsed and hits the drainer.
Seriously. There is no chance for me getting them out of their habit of storing glasses base uppermost. Hell, even I've given in to them on that score...
And changing the subject entirely...
The fking BBC. More specifically, them shunting coverage of the Olympic Games between channels DURING!!!! a race.
Last night. The men's cycling Omnium Points Race. It's the last event. The decider, even. So it starts on BBC2 because some pish 'soap opera' needs BBC1. Then "bump" - it's off to BBC1. Whereupon I decide I need a coffee, so I pause live telly for about ten minutes all told. But what's this, Ms Balding? If I want to continue watching this exciting medal race then I need to change channels again because the news is now on?
Well isn't that just dandy! Because now, due to the unique way delay TV works, when I change channels I'll find that I've missed those ten exciting minutes of balls-to-the-wall sprinting because the fking pause button doesn't pause all the fking channels simultaneously. ARRRRGH!
Seriously now: Just pick a channel for a sport, and fking-well leave it there you bunch of overpaid, underworked, jolly-grabbing s. How the juddering fk are people meant to keep up with this nonsense? What if I were recording it to watch later?
"We're coming up to the deciding sprint at the velodrome in Rio....
...and here is the BBC news at ten o'clock"
No! - just fk off and leave things on one channel for the duration of at least one event you bunch of bds. 
....and breath

Other people on the beach.
Feck off with your constantly yapping dogs, your radios/speakers, your crates of stella and fag butts, and the worst of all your cheap disposable BBQ's, that by the way doesn't mean dispose of them by 'putting some sand on it' when it's time to leave the beach.
