whilst my soul is temporarily detached from my body during the act of sneezing. Or some other superstitious claptrap.
But all it really means these days is that they're remarking that you sneezed.
Of course, as of 2014 what they should really say is "OMFG you haven't got Ebola have you?"
Zimbabwe Cricket Board have just announced they've discovered ebola in the cricket team, but not to worry, they also found ebatsman and efielder But all it really means these days is that they're remarking that you sneezed.

Well, be that as it may. It's pointless and it annoys me beyond reason (in the sense that it annoys me a little bit when reason says that it should not annoy me at all). So it's on-topic for this thread. rohrl said:

People who say "Bless you" when you sneeze.
They might as well say "Oh! You sneezed" for all the meaning or relevance such a statement has.

This particular phenomenon has been something that has slowly ground me down but last night it developed into something that annoys me far far too much.
Typical dual carriage way situation with the LEFT lane that is clearly marked LEFT ONLY and a RIGHT lane that is market to take the other two exits.
Traffic is backed up 300m in the right lane and some ignorant piece of s
t who thinks he/she is more important than the rest of us drives straight up the left lane gets to the front then forces their way onto the round about ahead of right lane in order to take the second exit.
I am seeing this more and more often and yesterday the prat who forced their way across the front of me nearly wiping out my wing/bumper but then proceeded to drive at 20mph through a 30 limit (so clearly not in THAT much of a rush) took the piss.
I'm usually quite a laid back character but the rage last night was ridiculous, having waited 30+minutes to travel barely 1/2 mile I wanted to follow the person home and execute them!

All said in an annoying English/Australian/African accent as well.People or organisations that use the word "invest" instead of "buy", when it comes to the straight purchase of something that will neither increase in value or appreciate in any way or form. It will immediately become worthless, and has not the slightest chance of ever becoming an investment.
E.G. A carpet company advert "Why not invest in a new carpet", or even more stupid, the customer "We thought it was about time to invest in a new carpet".

Why is 'slim fit' such a big thing these days? It seems like 90% of jeans in high street stores are Slim, skinny fit, or some ridiculous extreme. I'm still young enough to shop in places like Topman/Burton/RiverIsland.. but topman have a 'spray on fit' which is the tightest one.
It's not the jeans either. Slim fit shirts..tshirts.. everything.

Something that is a "big thing" for a while is called "fashion", granddad. Guess it's the current trend. It's come into fashion and will no doubt go out of fashion again. That's what fashion does.
Besides.. I can't fit into them as I am abit meaty.
