Teeny tiny things that drive you nuts out of all proportion

[swee'pea99]

A subject that came to mind while I was washing up this evening, when I found a long hair tangled in the wipe-cloth - I really hate that - and my sleeves wouldn't stay pushed up past my elbows...just kept sliding down again every time I pushed them up - I really hate that too. It actually makes me angry just thinking about it now. Bonkers.

You've got to be kidding, anything other than black ink is just wrong, I'd never use blue ink.

But when typing you are fine with black?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

You're both wrong(ish). Blue is never acceptable, black is OK on documents to be photocopied but for everything else one should use purple ink.

Purple shmurple...

For me it has to be aitch when pronounced haitch.

And before anyone says it is an accepted alternative then my second hate is dictionaries that accept wrong things just because enough people are similarly wrong.

People who confuse 'sex' and 'gender' - particularly academics who do so.

People who confuse 'strict liability' and 'presumption of liability' - yes, I'm looking at you CTC Scotland...

Yeah, I can feel my blood beginning to boil now
