"Always the last place you look"

Why do people get arsey about this? They blatantly mean the last place they chose to look for said item.

'Guess what' !!!

That drives me mad, so I irritate them back by insisting that I can guess the subject, meaning going through so many variations and scenarios and insisting that they dont tell me.

i spent nearly half an hour guessing a mates "guess what" he has no stopped using the phrase when he has something to tell me

- people saying morning to you even if you have no idea who they are (i am not a morning person btw)

- people in my section asking if i want a cup of tea, i have been there 3 years and haven't had a hot drink to date!

on a different note

- people who use the word LOL in actual conversation

This used to be an annoyance until I discovered how funny it was. People who have no idea how to use quotation marks should not be given sign making duties.

My local also does carry outs, the sign reads:

Carry out bar in lounge, "Cheapest" prices in town

So, not actually the cheapest then?

"you're a man, you can't multitask"

Women actually do say this. Sexism is okay when it's a woman being sexist to a man. I think that's how it works :rolleyes:

Have Scots adopted the Yank-ism of calling takeaways carry outs?

Misuse of punctuation and bad spelling.

There's a takeaway near to me with "GRATE TASTE" on the sign.

No. Takeaways are food, carry outs are drink. America calls takeaways 'take out'.

edit: I'm reminded of a chip van I use at work:

In that case, could it not be a pun on the location?

Helpful little comments that football commentators somehow think people want to hear. For example (and I am not a Man U fan)
"AC Milan have never lost at home to an english team"
(same commentators who are from the English country and technically should be supporting that English team)
:confused:
