Maybe your Grandmother should buy the dogs and then the neighbours will see how *they* like it. Every time you walk to the front garden they just bark their f
king heads off even though their hedge is 7 feet high and they can't see st! king air-horn with some back-up canisters. Every time the dogs bark - return fire with the air-horn.They'll soon get the message. So will the owners.
A banner ad for some gift shop that's just appeared at the top of the page that says "The beauty of gifting" in it. Why did we stop using "giving" in favour of "gifting"? Almost as annoying as the opposite - "I have an ask" - no you don't, you have a question, or a requirement, or a request. We didn't need another synonym.

How about the fact the delete button (usually 3) on a mobile is next to the save button (2) when using voicemail. Why the fk can't it be 9? You know, nowhere near where you can delete a very important message because the buttons are so small for a finger.
"The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now."k can't it be 9? You know, nowhere near where you can delete a very important message because the buttons are so small for a finger.
Customers in supermarkets who have a jolly good natter with the checkout staff. I don't just mean pleasant smalltalk, I mean full-on catching up on the gossip, talking about the kids, relatives, and the like.
I had that this afternoon, and the conversation was continuing even after payment had been made and the receipt handed over. In the end I had to be terribly un-British and say "could we get on with this please?" at which point the checkout lady looked very embarrassed and then proceeded to scan my stuff through so quickly I could barely keep up with the packing.
