Judging people according to which football team they support as if it's tantamount to genocide when they support Spurs if you support Arsenal.
Acting incredulous when you say 'I'll watch footy if it's on and I've nothing else to do, but I don't support a team'.
I use the "I don't watch football" line - That really freaks some people out. It's as if by not watching football it makes me less of a person. I sometimes counter with "I do, however, watch Rugby" - For extra effect, depending on whether I want to "poke the bear", I'll say something about there being more respect (generally) for opponents and officials in Rugby.Acting incredulous when you say 'I'll watch footy if it's on and I've nothing else to do, but I don't support a team'.

Why the fk can't people just speak properly??
There was someone on the radio the other week who only spoke for a short time and I'd swear every second pair of words was "you know". Apart from it being annoying just for the repetition, if we knew, we wouldn't have asked. While typing, I remembered it was the over-the-top American-sounding one from the Apprentice, after he'd got the push.king word. Why the f

Confuses the hell out of them when they ask me what team I support and I reply with something like Rebellion Acting incredulous when you say 'I'll watch footy if it's on and I've nothing else to do, but I don't support a team'.

They always are. In the same way as people now use "like" instead of "er", so their brain can catch up with their mouth. "He's, like, a train driver" apparently doesn't mean that the subject has a job similar to that of driving trains, but that they actually are a train driver. These things do my head in. "Innit" is another one, annoying at any time but much more so when asking "isn't it?" wouldn't be appropriate. "This is my brother, innit" when I don't know whether the third party is their brother or not. I work in finance and things are hardly ever "sorta". They either are or they aren't.

My colleague keeps smacking his lips together when he speaks. He seems to punctuate every sentence with this most annoying of habits but also combines it with saying "sorta" every other fking word.
