They're singing along to the latest girl power chart song, pretending to love being free & single & in a dull hatchback, whereas they're all secretly longing for marriage and a baby and a Ford S-Max.
Petrified of being left on the shelf or worse still showing their fear to their friends, they look happy but inside they're dying a little bit every day.
Either that or love eggs.

Hwich just about sums it up.
My other half/her indoors/partner/missus/the wife/she who must be obeyed etc. and I can't understand 1/2 of what she blathers on about. Particularly when she mentions what we presume to be Northern Ireland which comes out as Oirlind.Hwich just about sums it up.
And Chris Evans has her on every morning now. I'm half asleep (on a good day) and she shouts "Gooooood Moooorning Chris". Shut up. Your a weather woman, not some showbiz bint, get a grip FFS!. And she's even more unintelligible without a weather map to give us a clue.

All these colonial presenters on the box - Welsh, Scottish and Ulster. We subjugate them, try to teach them civilsation, and they just don't get a grasp of basic English. Are their mouths made differently?

Companies that sign you up to their email mailing list because you bought something from them.
By all means give me the option to be added to your list. I'll even tolerate you trying to pull a fast one and ticking the "opt in" box by default because I'm wise to that. But just assuming? No.

Boils my piss too and what really infuriates me is when you click the unsubscribe link you get another email informing you that it will take 3 weeks for you to stop receiving their emails. Now I do not claim to be a technology guru but I run a mailing list myself and if someone should click the unsubscribe button on mine their address is removed immediately so I can see no reason why it can't work the same way on theirs. Being the cynical b
d that I am I'm convinced it's so that they have a further 3 weeks to fill your inbox to the brim with spam before they have to stop. 
Local news sites seem to be particularly bad for putting a huge "add your email address to our mailing list" box right in the middle of the screen as you're halfway through reading the article and as soon as you've closed that one another one appears telling you that you must accept their cookies which absolutely no-one gives a flying f

So they then proceed to eat all kinds of processed soya and other crap that has been formulated - to have the texture and appearance of meat - but isn't, eg. vegetarian bacon. They'd be better off eating the packet! Or bacon!

The trend of Recruitment consultants trying to use NLP techniques on you.
Usually attempted when they have a job half your current day rate and try selling it as a "career defining opportunity".
Or outright spear-fishing techniques like sending cold emails whose subject starts with "RE: " to make it look like an existing ongoing email conversation. tUsually attempted when they have a job half your current day rate and try selling it as a "career defining opportunity".

Not all veggies don't like the taste of meat, they don't agree with the way it's produced. Vegetarianism is more about the exploitation of animals and the environmental impact of meat production.So they then proceed to eat all kinds of processed soya and other crap that has been formulated - to have the texture and appearance of meat - but isn't, eg. vegetarian bacon.

So do they refuse to use pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, household cleaners, and food additives etc., because animals are supposedly 'exploited' during the testing of just about everything we use these days. TaRD said:
