Annoying PH behaviours/phrases

[Issi]

Has anybody got any idea how much a garden gate would cost?

Is this quote reasonable?

I'm thinking of building a house, anybody got any tips?

Recommend me a decent bog brush.

Can't quite decide between buying a penthouse in Monaco or an island in the Caribbean...can anyone help?

[vournikas]

Errrrm

That ^ boils my fking piss when it is used to start a post.

Just make your fking point, without being a needlessly patronising tt.

Also:

"Suck it up"; a fking needless primary school phrase

and

"Pull the trigger"; a phrase used only by cahnts

Seems to be a bit of boasting in the SQ7 thread.

Repetitive dull threads like this and the people who add to them month after month with the same comments.
I often ponder if people aren't actually paid to post or start threads sometimes.

Looks like we've got ourselves a little trigger puller here ya'lllllll!!!!!! /hill billy accent

Replying 'Wow, just wow' to any thread should result in the offender receiving endless pamphlets of gay porn subscriptions through their mailbox until the day they die.

I think it must be some sort of muscle memory thing.

I lost my muscle memory when my beloved moved into the spare bedroom after the kids left home - but all is not lost, I can now fart & snore with impunity.

I hate it when people quote everything that was just posted especially when there's loads of photos in the previous posts.

Interesting technology there but unfortunately the Q7 is consumerism at it's absolute worst! Not particularly talented in any one area, a vulgar 'chav chariot', an extravagant waste of money designed for the terminally vain and the permanently self absorbed!

I could afford to buy three of these - with cash. Think I'll stick to my second hand RS4 though. Lovely to drive, quicker that the Q7, very rare, very practical and a 1/4 of the price of a new Q7.

Does your RS4 seat seven adults in comfort ? ... Hmmm thought not, I have had several 7 seaters over the past few years as neither of my parents drive any more and I am frequently making journeys 6 up including them - plus carting daughters and their school friends to and from parties and other social gatherings.

Believe it or not many of us have a regular if not permanent use for more than 2, 4 or 5 seats in a car, enjoy the benefits of AWD and some of us can afford to indulge in a "performance" version of said vehicle.

Go on, tell us all about conjunctive adverbials then

A conjunctive adverb is a type of adverb that joins together two clauses. These clauses are usually independent clauses, otherwise known as complete sentences. To correctly punctuate a conjunctive adverb, a writer will use a semicolon or period at the end of the first independent clause.

Or something.

Period? PERIOD..?? Away with you, you moronic colonial, and unlearn your Americanese immediately...

Modern version of "makes my blood boil"

No problem with that.

[mybrainhurts]

Using verbs as nouns, because it's trendy and American...

New car REVEAL

Old car REFRESH

PH writers are guilty of such transgressions.

And don't get me going on TEASER bks, or you might find a cattle prod up your arse...

[Muzzer79]

People who end their post/point with the phrase "End of"


The ingrained, insurmountable belief of some that anything without a petrol-powered engine is rubbish/not suitable.

For example

"I do 40,000 miles a year for work and need something cost-effective to run."
"Get a BMW 330i. It'll do 30mpg on the motorway, which is fine and you won't have to use a diesel"


The ingrained, insurmountable belief that anyone not paying for their car out of the mountains of cash in their bank/stored in their vault and choosing to use >deep breath< finance doesn't 'own' their car or, even worse, "can't afford it"

[BaronVonVaderham]

Not having cars listed in your profile.

Even if it's only a 0.7L 1986 Micra in two-tone turd brown, this is a car enthusiasts site - stick 'em up and be proud of your wheels, whatever they are.

[funkyrobot]

Posters who have clearly not read the thread, and repeat what's already been posted.

Ahem........

You know who you are, well you would if you went back and read this thread before you posted.

..............and nearly every thread on here.

Why do we need an answer repeated 50 times in the same thread. If a question has been answered correctly, there is No need to keep giving the same bloody answer.

"Pull the trigger" is one I really hate, along with "talk to me"

Anyone mentioned those two yet?

Well they don't entirely own it, any more than someone with a mortgage actually owns their house. That doesn't mean they can't afford to drive it though and I agree that it's annoying when someone comes out with something along the lines of "you clearly don't deserve to drive that because you can't afford to buy it outright".
