Your irrational, petty dislikes

People who form queues at petrol pumps because they are incapable of filling up if the their tank is on the opposite side to the pump. FFS the hose will reach. They're all on a reel these days.

Even though this often means there's a spare pump for me I still despise these weaklings :mad:
FYI, I refuse to use the 'other' side because usually the hose isn't long enough to go around the car and I am not having that heavy rubber hose damaging the paintwork.
 
BBC Wimbledon coverage - compromising of Sue Barker, celebrities in the royal box between every point and just in general the pomposity of it all.
 
In a Craig Cash voice.

"In Brighton. Stephen and his husband Daniel"

My ears and eyes bleed when those two come on.
Hate the way Stephen laughs at his own jokes - I suppose somebody has to though.

The two sisters annoy me also, especially the one who does the exaggerated eye-rolls after every sentence.
 
Add to my 1 so far is 'supporters' who panic when a team has 2 or 3 bad results after years of good results. I remember listening to 606 in about 2003 and the caller said Ferguson should be sacked at MU this was possibly in Mourinho's 1st year. This was despite even then unrivalled success for Sir Alex.
The calls for Southgates head on here have the same thinking, how can you take them seriously as people?

Agreed, we have Television channels so we should have Radio channels (Which i get we do, but it isn't the go-to phrase)

Ferry terminal? Why not Ferry station. The language is odd. I wonder if we could start fresh what exactly would be changed.
 
People using American English instead of British English to describe something

Railway Station = American English
Train Station = British English
 
Regarding "radio station", having Googled it 😉, it comes from the Latin stationem which means standing or position. Given that, a radio station is a position on the dial so it sort of makes sense.
