Drivers who swerve out right before turning left and vice-versa, you don’t need to do that! It’s terrible driving and pretty dangerous.

When our kid was on his lessons he was sat at lights and asked his instructor a question about something in front, his instructor pointed to the left mirror and said "you need to worry more about that". When he looked, the trailer wheels were on the, now crushed, pedestrian barrier.

This utterly miserable guy at work who starts at 6am every single day despite our start time being 9am. I'm convinced he hates everything about his life and work is his solitude.

Also touching hands after every point, win or lose in the doubles.

When your fridge goes on the blink. We take these bloody things for granted. I woke up in the early hours and fancied a drink of milk and got a mouthful of cottage cheese instead.

When you buy a different make of dog poo bags only to find there's no tie handles on them 🤢

plus - people who drive along for miles with the indicator blinking away.

I had one in the lane next to me the other week.  caught up at a red light, buzzed my window down to let him know, and saw that he was reading a book propped on his steering wheel.

I said "Sir, I don't think that's proper way to drive" or shorter words to that effect.

of course he got all fukking offended and started chasing me then to retaliate.  stupid fukker.  I want those people to drive into a ditch and wreck themselves and their car.

Horse riders not clearing their horse's shit up.  I pick up my dog's shit, why can't they do the same?  There's a riding school near the woods where I take him for walks and there's piles of horseshit all over the place.

How are you supposed to tie them to tree branches without handles?

Good point!  Maybe that's why they don't have them 👍

That's a whole other one in itself. I remember driving once and seeing this old guy in front throwing his full dog poo bags across the road into the hedge on the other side. I made a point of looking at this hedge on other trips and there were loads on it, probably all from this guy (you can't walk on that side). Now, whilst I hate what he does, I am also aware that there are no bins for it in the area. I, myself, always held onto them until I either found one or even took them home to my own bin, but still, how much does it cost to run a poo bin collection service versus having to clear up the hedges? (saying that, it may be on the farmer, I don't know?)
Either way, tree slingers are c*nts; just fucking leave it if you have no intention of binning it.

Because its all hay they don't have to either, there;s no legislation that says they have to clear up the huge piles of shite left all over the place, by us its usually on the paths and roads

I've seen a few. I just don't see the attraction at all.

Same. They don't look like they are interested in football. It's not even stylish the tracksuits or kits they are wearing (not usually the home kit).

Our neighbours have decided to start blasting money from their porch in the last few days. For some reason they do it in waves. Weeks of silence then days of noise. They've got one of those speakers that produce the awful loud bass.

To make it worse, they only play Drake.

That annoys you? Just put some big nets up to catch it!

Am sorry to hear that. Neighbours like that are more than annoying. I dont know who or what Drake is but I know I hate it. Those bass heavy speakers should be banned.

It's an extension of the Air Jordan thing.

Essentially another form of sports washing from them

Their weird censorship as well. They'll show someone having major stomach surgery, they'll show the surgeon cutting the patient open and delving into their innards yet on a breast implant, while they'll happily show the surgeon ramming the implant into the wound,  they blur the nipple as if its offensive.

"I could care less" is the worst one to me. So, you do care, right?

People that say that should face severe punishment.

Americanisms creeping into everyday language in the UK.

I'm not sure if watching English tv is the best way to gauge this, but it seems like I hear a lot more of these in shows these days ...

"you guys"   
"step up to the plate"   
"coffee to go" 
"I'm good, thanks"

are these actually becoming more common?

I don't see what the issue is with this kind of thing.  Our language is a hodgepodge of loads of different ones already, and the world is more global than ever.  It's just multiculturalism.

Step up to the plate is a baseball reference I believe so that's not English, so keep it in America. Loads of phrases added to the language, on both sides of the Atlantic are just dumbing down the language. Just because it can be done doesn't mean that you should.

How is it dumbing down the language?  We use idioms that originated in sport all the time.
