The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

[Raid]

I had something like that a few weeks ago, along with most of the people I work with.

[Wrathbone]

Mainly an American thing, but when people say "a couple something" rather than "a couple OF something". e.g. "I'll be out of town for a couple days". It bugs me almost as much as "I could care less".

The amount of times I have to correct my son to say Beta and route correctly... damn youtube
Oh and extend Math to Maths.

I'm okay with some of them, as long as people don't start saying 'erbs instead of herbs.

Oh'regno instead of oregano, how the fuck?

[Stormbringer]

Don't forget "a-loo-min-um".

"I could care less".

That's the one I find most frustrating because it simply doesn't make sense.

I know a British person probably shouldn't be casting shade here, but I hate that Americans call vegetables "veggies". It just sounds so infantile.

[Stormbringer]

I've never heard an American say that, and I've known quite a few in my life.

[Raid]

Perhaps you don't look through as many recipes as I do, but it's pretty common.

Just put your hand down your trousers. They won't be long in looking elsewhere for a seat.
