    People who moan about people who moan about threads that they have no interest in.

  • Have put this up before, but have seen a couple of people on the 'Lucy Kerr RIP' thread using exclamation marks.
    Are they that insensitive, or just plain dim to see how inappropriate it is.

    Not sure I agree. Whilst an exclamation mark was historically used to convey excitement, modern usage means it now reflects any strong emotion.

    'modern usage' is nothing but an excuse for ignorance. It's crass, and that's all there is to it.

    It also regresses.

    It’s not a regression if it now has a different meaning. 

    Whether you like it or not, it is now used to add emphasis.

    All it emphasises is the crassness of its user.

    Really? People have gone on there to express their sympathy and you pick up on the fact that they have used an explanation mark to suggest they are insensitive or dim??

    I've seen some arsehole remarks on this forum in the past, but I think this tops the lot.
    You've gone and done it now, you've used two question marks!
    Why does it make you excited?

    I went on there and posted my own post of sympathy. I wouldn't dream of sullying the thread  which is why I expressed my objection to the use of exclamation marks on here.
    Talk of 'modern usage', lanuage 'evolving' and me being a 'luddite' is as fatuous as it is glib. Let's pander to the lowest common denominator, that's real progress.
    Good night.

    Don’t be ridiculous.

    Perhaps you would prefer that language never evolved and we speak as we would have done in the Middle Ages ...gadzooks !!

  • I get really pissed off with people that don't know the difference between pissed and pissed off. I've seen it a few times on here recently and it really boils my piss.  Here's a little guide to help any muppets who don't know the correct way to use these phrases:

    Strange thing to get pissed about
  • Adoring couples on the tube in the morning rush hour, clearly all loved up post-shag.
    Nauseating at any time, but doubly bad in inescapable proximity

  • People that are late all the time and think it's some sort of quirky acceptable trait

    People who work on the tills in supermarkets who cannot count, or don't understand what to do when you give them a note, plus the odd couple of pence.
    When I was a relatively junior manager in social services many social workers always seemed to be late. In the end if they were more than 15 minutes late I’d tell them to reschedule the meeting. After a rocky start this worked and meetings started as scheduled.

    Lateness pisses me off, it does so because being late for something or the thought of being late stresses me out and I will always give people the benefit of the doubt and imagine how worked up they will be getting.

    Which I reckon is fair until you find it's the same people always late for everything without seeing to care, that gets right up my nose 
    Agree.
