"Bockles" and "ospical"
"I'm off t'ospical so can you wash baby's bockles while I'm out?"
Sorry northerners

'Im not being funny but' at the start of a sentence (usually something horrible) irritates me.
I find people who say this are also the worst culprits for 'No offence but <insert most offensive phrase ever here>'.
Somebody just used the word 'velocity' on the rant thread.
A better class of language. I like it!

Being called 'dear' by someone younger than me :-(
Yes, or when they insert your first name far too frequently into conversation in a poor attempt to be authoritative. It's just condescending. I worked in a clinic with a sports massage therapist who did this, she was young and did it to all of us not just her clients. It made me avoid her.
Hi Victoria, how are you? Are things busy for you Victoria? And how do you feel about that Victoria? Do you think you could make sure that you anticipated your clients ringing on the front door Victoria? I am sure you understand Victoria but when I am in a treatment that I find it really disconcerting if the doorbell goes, it disturbs my terribly important train of thought and breaks my concentration. Thaaanks soo much Victoria.
Imagine that conversation in the worlds most ridiculously condescending voice.
It was like someone had given her a book on psychology and she had picked out the most irritating parts to exercise in her daily life :-D
So you didn't enjoy that conversation then Victoria! Eh, Victoria?
UGH! This is my pet peeve.Yes, or when they insert your first name far too frequently into conversation in a poor attempt to be authoritative. It's just condescending.

Hi Geeks,
Ok so I can't stand being called "chick" or "chicken", & I dont like partners calling each other "baby". For a child or pet it doesn't bother me.
Id love to hear what annoys you xx

This is like people who say "So long story short" and then tell the longest version of a story ever!
