  • That could possibly be how things were said to them, i didnt realise prescription was sounded like that until i learnt to spell it. Learning curve eh?
  • My mums facebook status'
    Example:

    Went to B&Q today lol, then had a sandwich with Joe lol, off to supermarket lol then to read my books lol.

    Really i want to ask if B&Q is that funny or if she really laughs out loud randomly at B&Q, when she has a sandwich etc lol :P
    Sometimes i like to imagine that im living on the breadline as a single mum with 3 children to feed and clothe, bills to pay and very little time to myself........ then i wake up and realise im a princess with prince charming by my side and a lovely white castle........ oh wait :eek:

    People who say 'I'm a vegetarian, but I eat chicken and fish'. What tree did the chicken grow on then? I've no problem at all with people who use the correct term (a pescetarian), but I can't stand the 'I'm a vegetarian but ...' crowd.

    It also annoys me when people say 'I'm allergic to x,y or z' when they're not, they just don't like it. So many people pretending to have food allergies makes everyone take them less seriously, when a genuine food allergy is something very serious.

    It peeves me when people bang on and brag about their pregnancies as if they're about to give birth to the second coming of Christ.

    I know its a special time and they're excited but not everyone can have babies and some have suffered multiple losses I just wish people would be a bit more sensitive about it.

    On a lighter note, I get peeved when my husband doesnt put his shoes away. I've tripped over them countless times and despite me telling him repeatedly he never fails to put them away when walking in after work, even though he takes them off and dumps them right next to the shoe cupboard!!!! :mad:
  • My pet peeve is people who let their dogs crap on the pavement then just leave it there. In fact people who take their dogs for walk on primarily paved areas !!!! me off. The other day picking my son up from school someone's mutt did a runny diarrhoea poo in the middle of the pavement, not possible to clean that up without a hose. So you had smartly dressed junior school kids diving left right and centre to avoid sloshing through faeces.

    I can't understand people who correct grammar and punctuation on a whim, but the rest of the time, just don't come across that intelligent themselves. Especially on facebook, why waste your time.

    Im a scouser but I hate the way people say err, thingy and like in every sentance. That includes my two children. People who wear tracksuits , pj mums at the school, people who wear moutains of jewellery looking like Mr & Mrs T, people who let their dog poo everywhere, mums and dads who swear standing at the school gates and parents who scream and swear at their toddlers.
