This is one I noticed when I came to the UK. We don't do it in Australia.

"I was sat down there with my friend...."

"I was sat over there, she was sat over here"

It's not flipping "sat", its "SITTING". :irked::irked::irked:
 
I done a set of nails and we was so happy with them.

Not cool!
 
Noodle! I say that all the time , plural for you but I'd spell it youse . :smack:

That's you giving me a smack ..lol

Err a plural of "you".. surely "you" is only ever singular? If you were referring to a group of people you would still use "you"
Ie "to all of you stylists out there"

For me it is people who write with an accent. I notice a lot of my Scottish friends do this "aye ken. Do yis get whit am sayin hen?"

my hubby says "give it ya" or "give it me" etc.
winds me up "give it To me"
His family are from yorkshire, not sure if it's how they say things there.
I've only ever noticed another person say that and she is from Birmingham originally.

My ex used to irritate me & quite a few friends by saying "doesn't matter me" grrr! How hard is it to say "it doesn't matter" or "it doesn't make any difference to me". No he had to mix the two phrases up to make one that made absolutely no sense in the context of the conversation.
 
I hate people that type like idiots on facebook ... I understand typos etc and shortened bits like FB, SG, or Tbh - I don't mind that but this annoys me

Hi bbe, wot u doin, fancy cumin owt.

Get back to school!!! Lol :)
 
When old people call you idle!

Off of!!!

This is the single most irritating saying ever! There's a posh woman on the radio who says, in her hauty voice, for example "that message was from Sophie, off of Birmingham" - WHAT?! That is not English!!

I also hate it when people say "three pound" instead of "three poundS" - it's one more letter, how hard can it be?! Or the ones who write "£3 pounds"

"Bore off" is a pathetic one that my husband uses to insult me almost daily. It only serves to highlight his poor education!
Argh!
 
I'm very pale skinned always have been always will be.
Unless I cake makeup on before going to my boyfriends mums i get,

'u alright? U look washed-out!'
Or 'pastey' 'tired' 'ill'

IM JUST PALE!! lol x

I always get told I'm pale too. As if I hadn't noticed :rolleyes:
I was even told I should wear fake tan on my wedding day! Yes, I really want to have sweaty brown armpits on my beautiful white dress :smack:
 
I also dislike being called 'Hun', 'beautiful' or similar by acquaintances or anything over familiar when you barely know somebody

A lady I barely know once text me saying "hello gorgeous one..." and u didn't have her number stored in my phone. Thank god I saw it and not my husband!

I'm naturally pale too. When I was 17 (many years ago) I went on holiday to Spain and to this day I have a photo of me on the beach (no false tan in those days! ), wearing a bikini and a little swarthy skinned boy, wide eyed with his mouth open pointing at me :eek:, not because I was stunningly beautiful but simply because I looked like a ghost :lol:
 
"Me and you" ......" him and me" ....NO it is 'you and I' and 'him and I' ...and it is not "I'm saying at a hotel" it is "I'm staying at an hotel" ..... a ruler is a king, a rule is what you measure with. .... I could go on!!!!
