Pet Hate

This bugs me all the time and it's Friday so I thought I’d just get it out there.

My pet hate is people saying "you got that question wrong" and other such phrases on this theme.

Perhaps it shouldn't do so but if fecks me off! People don't get the question wrong they get the answer wrong; they give the wrong fecking answer!

I see and hear it all the time, on game shows on TV, on the BBC website where you'd hope their supposedly cultured people would get it right, but no, they feck up just the same! Today I've read an article about people "failing to get this question right". Surely You mean "failing to answer the question correctly"

You fail to get the right answer!; if you fail to get the question right that means you've messed up in the way you've presented the question! This is so lazy and illiterate is bugs me big-time!

Then there's the hit record 'Never Ever' a big number one hit for All Saints. I recall watching them on TOTP with an audience whooping it up as they began the spoken intro "A few questions that I need to know".
NO NO NO you stupid half-wit bint!; you need to know the fecking answers, you're the one asking the questions FFS!!!
So everyone's whooping it up along with a bunch of illiterate boneheads who don't even realise they've fecked up their masterpiece within the first line!

There; I’ve said it!

People with absolutely no sense of humour drive me insane. Or those that can't take a joke at their expense.

Or those that take virtually everything you say as literal, so you can't have a joke with them

"Will you do me a favour?"

This gets me as I think "I'm not going to agree to it before I know what it is!" So I end up saying "no" which often causes upset, "depends what it is" or "what do you want".

I understand it's a way of easing one's way into an awkward question but if I have to do this I'll say "I need to ask you for a favour, can you ............... please."

The one that really winds me up is the whole monogamous relationship thing.

Men are not designed to be monogamous ffs.

I will complain about something on TV. BBC football pundits. Pretty much all of them are clueless. And to compound how clueless they are, they will be given a masterclass in knobheadedness this Saturday by RUSSELL BRAND. He's a pundit this weekend!
