I hate when people say q-pon, instead of coupon.
And, also the "that's a whole nother thing."
No, "that's another whole thing."
There is no word -- nother.

"Write me soon/ back"- whenever I see this (and I see/ hear it a lot), it drives me absolutely nuts.
Also, one of the many illiterate folks at my work peppers the emails he writes with "id" instead of "I'd" and "iv" instead of "I've". It wouldn't be so bad if the rest of his emails were written in SMS format, but it just seems to be these 'special' words (and by special, I mean ones which require the use of "fancy stuff" like apostrophies or capital letters) that get this treatment. |

Neither is there a word "proly", as in:
I wanted to go see a movie tonight, but I'm really tired so I proly won't.

My pet peeve is the misuse of the subjective form of the nominative singular pronoun, i.e. I, instead of the objective. Yes, "Me and Jack went to town" is wrong. But "she told Jack and I to go to town" is even more so, not to mention ridiculous.
Similarly, I hate it when people employ the objective form before gerunds, rather than the possessive.
I also hate joggers, who pace on one spot while waiting for the lights to change, not to mention people that do that "keeping a straight face while dancing/singing in a 'kerazee' way" schtick.
All these idiots should be happy to know that there is an entire circle of hell reserved just for them (and mouthbreathers who do Catherine Tate impressions).

Yeah, I've seen so many great parties ruined when someone does that. It just kills the atmosphere.

Well, this is going a little off topic, but sod it...
People who use their phones in cinemas.
People who acknowledge you shushingan them for using their phone... and carry on anyway.
People who talk to their mates beside them in cinemas.
People who talk quietly in cinemas (you can still hear their lips smacking together on 'p's and 't's).
People who sit behind you in the cinema and can't keep their feet still.
People who sit in front of you in the cinema and keep wobbling tbeir heads.
People who sit beside you in the cinema and use all the arm rest.
People who sit beside you in the cinema with their legs akimbo.
People who whoop at the film certificate.
People who applaud after a film, as though the cast are out back going "Well, I'm glad they enjoyed it!".
And finally... people who sit bang in the middle on the front row. Don't these people know this is MY seat?
NOTE: This has been a "things that irritate me" special on 'the cinema'. Other titles in this range include 'the train', 'the dinner table', 'the office', 'the outside world' and the ever popular 'the guy I sit next to at work'. |

Oops! That would be me.
BTW -- 1st saw 2001 from that position [not THAT one, you perverts] ... felt like I was in space. And, no, I wasn't on drugs. As the young people say nowadays: Well bad, dude.
PS I think I may have admitted this before, but before I learned to be more caring and sharing, I did actually punch someone sitting in back of me at the cinema because she kept talking loudly after I'd asked her really nicely to stop. Shame on me. It gets worse -- when the manager arrived, I convinced him that she'd hit me and he threw her out. I'm ashamed of myself. I really and truly am.

| I went to the cinema on Tuesday night, to see the unbelievably bad (really - as well as everyone dubbing themselves, it featured Junior Simpson as a Sikh!) Don't Stop Dreaming and the quite good Hat Trick. At the start of the latter, a family came past me to sit down, and the teenage girl stood in my nachos - and didn't even apologise! I just stared at her agog. As I had not thought about them and therefore had not moved them, I did not say anything, but I think they should have at least apologised, especially when I left to get replacements (which they didn't know I didn't pay for). |
