Someone who refers to themselves as "myself" ie "please can you forward the email to myself" :mad:
Referring to someone else as "yourself/yourselves" ie - I then called yourself/yourselves"

I can't stand 'on trend' or worse still 'bang on trend' when people are talking about fashion/looks etc. I also hate when my OH asks to borrow my ipad by calling it a pad, it makes it sound like a feminine hygiene product and now he knows it annoys me he says it everytime.
Parties being called a 'do' annoys me aswell!
oops you won't like my family then - an adult gathering for an occasion outside the home is a "do".
A children's version is a party.

:rotfl: I know.
I get asked if I planned for the pregnancy, planned for the twins, conceived with or without IVF.
Also, my MIL says "pacifically" :mad::mad::mad:
I also hate the Black Country thing of saying "am" instead of "is/are". "How am you?" is probably the phrase that makes my blood boil.
How am you? If you're going to criticise you could at least get it right. It's Owamya0 -

I'm sure your family are lovely and I would never not like someone for itbut it would annoy me! I mostly hear it from OH's family, every single time we see any of them the topic of conversation is some 'do' or another. Likewise every other sentence they somehow manage to slip 'mate' in there somehow. I don't get bothered by anyone else saying that word except them :rotfl:

and - anyone who starts a sentence with 'I'm not a racist, but........' then with the remainder of the sentence show that they are.0

"Nucular" instead of nuclear.
"Get over yourself" - a physical impossibility I'd think!
Youngsters referring to their parents as "the rents".I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

Yes I agree and people who say " I know a lovely man who's gay" before going on to be homophobic.
I also hate people who describe jobs or cars as "sexy".
And the word "relatable"0 -
