A Pet Peev

[Wzd]

The fact that sometime in recent history, salt and vinegar swapped colours with cheese and onion.

I just thought of another one...


People who use "Air quotes"


I mean, why do they think "Air quotes" are so "Important" when expressing their "Frustration"

Air quote are like newspaper headline quotes. It basically means not().

Someone once asked me what's my pet hate.

I said, well it doesn't like things being shoved up it's arse.

This made me laugh far louder than it should have. Thank you.

They are being friendly and waving at you.

Some pet peeves from me...

- flaky people, who pull out at short notice
- politics. Why does everything nowadays have to be politicised?
- customers calling tech support and customer support who beat around the bush. Just spit it out!
- buses without the heating on when it's -2C outside, yet is on when it's +18C outside
- the Microsoft Office ribbon, which got introduced in 2007. I still can't get my head around it!

People who use multiple random channels of conversation instead of sticking to e.g. Whatsapp

I have WhatsApp and Signal, but they're largely across 2 groups of people. WhatsApp = family. Signal = friends. Not dictated by me, it's just how it worked out in the end. It's good because if I do a mis-tell, it won't be cross-platform. So chances are I'll be sending the mis-tell to another friend instead of Mum. It's less embarrassing that way!

Peev (or Peeve ) would be a good name for a pet.

Peeves is also one of the ghosts in Hogwarts

Smiths was bought by Pepsi who own Walkers and the brand was phased out in favour of the Walkers branding.

That & Gary Lineker are two good reasons to avoid Walkers then.

Was just about to say I’ll stick with Ruffles and Lays but they’re Pepsi owned too <facepalm/>

You've just reminded me of a pet peeve - the type of person that says to me "what.....?!" when I tell them I've only ever seen one Harry Potter movie and not read any of the books . It's not by accident I tell them.
