It’s his constant use of the term ‘attitude’ that annoys me. It’s a bowl of ******* pasta, it doesn’t have a settled way of thinking or feeling about something!
That said, I do own and use a fair few of his recipe books.
Some of his food actually looks quite nice. Although his penchant for serving it up on a plank of wood is somewhat off-putting.
It's traditional not to answer "How do you do?" with anything other than repeating the question.
Actually saying how you are is rude
Or at least sayeth QI

People who say “i could cAre less” good for you, go and find something to care less about.
People who call Amazon (the online shop) by any name other than Amazon
The trend to put eco before anything now days
And the worst of the worst is people who come out for a meal, and then when the food turns up takes pictures of it and posts them on some social media rubbish instead of just eating it, sometimes having the cheek to ask you “can i just take a picture of that befofe you eat” ...... no **** off

A man in his 60's who sounded like he'd never done a big shop in a supermarket before in his life mansplaining to his poor wife why they should "get this one instead" because "it's twice as big a less than twice the price!", with what sounded like everything she picked up, like he'd just figured it all out.
As soon as one sees "Eco" on any product label, one knows the following.
#1 It won't do what it says on the tin!
#2 It probably isn't "Eco" anyway despite #1
#3 It will cost at least three times a much as a product that not only will do what it says on the tin, but is probably better for the environment too!
Perhaps, despite many years of doing the shopping his dozy wife hadn't?
Oh, she'd figured it out a long time ago. You could tell, that's why she was only buying what they needed.
Good one, never got it myself I only count runs/rides in miles
- toilet rolls the wrong way round so it feeds from the back
- people who indicate right/left at a roundabout and go straight on, I never saw that in the highway code!
- rude people in general, politeness is free
I’m sure there’s more but they are my top 3

Surely that's only on OCUK!
"I did a 40km run at the weekend"
"Oh you mean you did a 26.2 mile marathon"

That's my route to work.
I don't get it, during summer virtually no hold-ups whatsover. As soon as the nights draw in there are break-downs, accidents, and now you add fires to the list
Every other road is fine but the A50/500 through Stoke
