    I suppose it sounds more impressive than 1 fifth.

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Default Ingratitude

    Heard these dogs barking today at the shop and turned to see a woman and some dogs. She had one big dog and one little dog and this mongrel staffy had turned up and tried to go for the little one. The big dopey bully X she had just barked and the woman looked very worried. So me and this other bloke go and sort the dogs out (motorcycle boots aren't as good as steel caps for kicking things but better than thongs).
    But not a thank you was forthcoming from her lips or her partner who turned up after I'd chased the Staffy away.
    If someone helps you, you thank them.

    teenagers who say "lol" in answer to anything mildly amusing. By all means if it's funny then actually laugh but don't say it.
    Yes, my daughters, I'm talking about you!

    "umm like , it like , you know , like starts at at like 6 o'clock "
    Like 6 o'clock ??? 16 o'clock maybe ? 16 is like 6 ..... or it could be 9 , thats' like 6 too ......
    or it could even be 19 , thats' like 6 as well .

    The mind boggles .

    And as for the out of context 'like' in place of 'such as' that is creeping in .

    People who will not take their shopping trolleys to the reaturn bays, or at least put them in a safe, out of the way space.

    Smooth peanut butter.

    Nouns being used as verbs.

    Arsonists being called benign, chirpy things, such as 'firebugs'.

    Sporting commentary - it is not 'medaling', you win a medal (the catholic church has issues with this too).
    Aussie rules - I've been waiting for ages to see somebody 'kick a Major', and have yet to see a military man at the football, let alone one get booted.

    The tug-of-war no longer being an Olympic sport.

    Instructions on tooth-pick packets.

    Anti-static straps on cars.

    Lime-green (ouside of the outside of limes, of course).

    Political correctness reaching Salada biscuits.

    That's enough for now....
