king rickshaws and their ing horns. My driver stopped to pick me up outside the hotel today, would have been stationary for ten seconds max, on a 4 lane road - not a single other soul on the road, some fking wker child-molesting low-IQ backward field-stting village rickshaw driver took offence and promptly leant on his hooter. Right outside the hotel, where maybe 100 people are/were all still trying to sleep. Stupid fking mong. I lost it and got all angry white man, walked over to his (opensided) 3 wheeled piece of st and had to restrain myself from putting the fking thing on it's side. fking Iftar could have easily driven past it, but no, typical fking taxi driver, had to make as much noise as humanly possible and start waving his arms around. So I shouted at him. Properly shouted at him, enough for the hotel security to come out and see what was going on, and for his passengers to look embarrassed and quite scared. They like making noise here, but they run away from any sort of confrontation. fking pussies.
I fking hate Rickshaw driving, backwards, third world, stty-handed wkers.

In a taxi...Islamabad...to the market and back to the hotel...purchased 'local' souveniers...driver had hand on horn all the time...just for the hell of it....

People saying "no worries" or "no problem", usually in a retail setting. Why would they do that? When I've have politely thanked them for doing their job, why would worries or problem enter into it?
In a customer service training session I was once told not to say "no problem" as it makes the customer think about problems. It's much better to say "certainly" apparently.RobinOakapple said:

It's just a phrase, there's no point looking for a literal explanation. If you say 'cheers' to someone as they pass you a stapler, what would you think if they replied 'But I'm not offering up a pint of ale to you so why would you do that?'?

This morning it's websites. Search for something in Google and click onto a linked article, read it, click on back. Oh, you'd rather just reload your article again and again. End up having to hit back repeatedly to escape the website and it takes you too far back so you go past the results you want to be on.
I get this too, bloody annoying.Why does it do it?
I've a mate who has a 6 y.o son, but my friend insists on calling him "son" or referring to him as "the boy". I wonder why he was named at all.
My eldest brother, who's been married for 24 years, always refers to his wife as "my wife" when talking to me or to my wife. We know her name, we know her too, very well. Why not simply refer to her by her name, which is 1 word instead of 2?!

The pretentious cock socket who hit my car yesterday because I didn't let him cross the road at a junction. I was pulling straight out as there was a gap in the traffic, but Mr. I'm Above Everyone didn't like that and I heard him tut as he started to cross, watched him go behind the car and the prick slapped it!
He is lucky I was in a very good mood at the time, because now I want to smash his head off of a curb for touching my car the posh fk.

There is, however, an answer, which is that it's a modern phrase which they use because it saves them from having to think of something more appropriate, or even think at all

When people haven`t an issue with the immigrants in Calais trying to get here. Quite happy to accept them all as we have plenty of room. That fking annoys me.
Trust me, you're not alone. We're overcrowded enough as it is, and benefits cutbacks mean they'll get sweet FA even if they manage to get here. They learn a few words of English from crappy American TV, so they pick us instead of Bulgaria because they think they can speak the lingo. That, and their second cousin's mate's best friend's sister-in-law got a council house 17 years ago, so the UK must be a soft touch.king annoys me.Lewis Hamilton appearing on T.V. chat shows/entertainment shows etc. Fair enough he's got a stupid haircut but that doesn't make him entertaining enough to justify a spot on a chat show. FFS, did nobody see him on TFI Friday? Yet, the BBC think he's a good shout to appear on the Graham Norton show..? Idiots.
And while we're at it: Graham Norton's beard. Band wagon jumping.

.We had all this in the TFI thread in the TV section, I kind of feel for Lewis a bit as he's a driver and not a personality suited to chat shows, but as he's his own manager he seals his own fate in a way...
