tech_guy Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 It's Friday, I've had a tiring, stressful week, like most of us have. For some strange reason I'm feeling all short-fusey..... I get to work and start going through my inbox. The first two emails are regarding internet access. From different people, they both contain the same error. Instead of web-site, or site, they've spelt site as "SIGHT"..... [HEAD EXPLODES] Jeez, how difficult is it?!?!? [GOES OFF TO PUNCH AN INANIMATE OBJECT]
Domino Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Personally, I can't stand seeing "open MIKE night" on a poster... drive me nuts...and to be honest, I'm just not that open 1

korifugi Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Market Stalls and their crimes against the common apostrophe... FFS you slack jawed eejits - it is Bananas and NOT Banana's Why do I get the feeling that most of the pedantic geeks group will be soon posting here???

Well, unless they're selling something that belongs to a banana...
witch Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 My children, or anyone else, answering the question "How are you?" with.."I'm Good" Good at what?????? Also listening to every child in the class use the word 'like' several times in every sentence they utter
korifugi Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Well, unless they're selling something that belongs to a banana... True - I'm not sure which is worse though, having a complete lack of punctuation or some basic understanding that something should be there - leading to the 'shotgun' method where it inevitably ends up in the wrong place... Right - I'm off to calm down with a cup of tea and some biscuit's
LosOjos Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Double clicking links in web pages (particularly annoying when you see IT teachers doing it!)

korifugi Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 They're MY CD's' presh-uss One DVD to rule them all, One DVD to find them, One DVD to bring them all and in the rewriter bind them
LiamH Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 People who prod my screen when I ask them what folder something is in. Drives me nuts. I asked you for the folder name not to punch a hole in my monitor with your pen! The kids language makes me laugh more then irritate me. One memorable moment was a pupil telling a female member of staff with a new haircut "Miss, your hair looks sick!" followed by my colleage exploding grilling the kid while the poor girl was trying to explain "miss, sick means good!" 2
jamesreedersmith Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 One DVD to rule them all, One DVD to find them, One DVD to bring them all and in the rewriter bind them You just might need a blu-ray writer to fit all those disks on onto one disk!
Hightower Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Having nightmares. Last night, it strangely involved tech_guy too. The part that involved tech_guy was he was coming to our NM meeting, but with him living down the country somewhere he needed a place to stay. I volunteered our IT office, and the next bit I remember was he was lying on a shelf (like the cheshire cat) demanding some wine. I didin't sleep last night, and instead ended up watching scrubs until 3am, so thanks for that tech_guy 1

BenABF Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I really cannot stand people who use American English when they aren't American. Seeing the word Mom instead of Mum drives me nuts!!!!

Hightower Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Wine? Jack Daniels surely? Well, that was the scary part!

localzuk Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 While using my HTC Desire being asked "Is that an iPhone?" I got that the other day, and now the person in question refers to it as a 'TonyPhone' as 'HTC Desire HD' is too much of a mouthful.
localzuk Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I really cannot stand people who use American English when they aren't American. Seeing the word Mom instead of Mum drives me nuts!!!! Mom is not American English... It is a regional variation, much like Mam. Sure, Americans and Canadians use it but so do some areas of the UK. I use it for example (but then again, my Mom is Canadian!)
