Using the word 'Period' instead of 'Full Stop'.

Pop up lights are cool. Period.

WTF? I agree they're cool, but WTF has the menstrual cycle got to do with it?

Blame the yanks.

I heard on the TV a BBBC news reporter say "Homicide!

This coming from an organisation that had to change to "family and friends" because the great unwashed couldn't understand what "Next of kin" meant!

The fact that I have some offshore colleagues that insist on using "revert" instead of "reply":

"We will revert to you when we can".

It's reply. Just say reply.

Estimated delivery time of 18:00 for my iPhone 6. What use is that? Barely leaves any gloating time today.

Homicide is typically more 'correct' term until all facts and circumstances have been established.
Murder is a specific premeditated, unlawful homicide.

People who practically drive clean off the road when they see blue lights. Today I was driving along a main road which had a lane-wide hatched area separating the opposing carriageways.

An ambulance was approaching from the opposite direction and the two cars in front of me braked suddenly before swerving sharply to the left. The ambulance simply overtook the traffic in front of him by putting two wheels into the hatched area. He never came close to my side of the road, so why the need to react so suddenly?

People that blow dry their pubes and toes with the gym hair dryer

People with baby buggies who think they own the shop isle and expect you to move everytime without saying thanks

UK Airport Security - Rude and mostly obnoxious

Keyboard Warriors that pick people up on their grammer, you know what they are trying to say, and all you can do is comment on their spelling etc. Life really is too short
