CPFC BBS - Things that annoy you

The phrase "Can I get a...." when they mean "Can I have a...."

I'd love it if a person in Starbucks stood there and said "There it is, get it yourself then".

(This is an American version) We had an outside supplier come in the other day, and he asked if he could "borrow the restroom".

Later I asked him if he put it back because I needed to go...

Or "please may I have..." Or "I would like a.....please"

It's Halloween decorations at work put up the first week in October... If ever there is a more stupid, worthless, consumer driven event/holiday (well Valentines I guess) I don't know what.

What is the point of Halloween decorations all over your cubical??? Some of these people are scary enough 52 weeks a year, they don't need any help. :eek:

Hope that makes you Happy Chocky and CT.... :rolleyes:

America making such a big deal out of Halloween and bloody trick or treat making it over to these shores

The phrase 'no problem'.

Especially when one has a meal. 'May I have the fish and chips please? ' no problem
some tom sauce? no problem
can I pay the bill? no problem

Well I don't expect there to be a fecking problem and if there is then you can fecking sort it out. Just 'certainly sir' or somesuch will do.

"No worries"

I should hope not. C***.

Most of these bastards aren't even Australian.

This hasn't bugged me before, but I now see what you mean.

In a restaurant recently a young waiter took our drinks order, and every item was met with 'no problem'.

I so nearly said, good, I don't expect a simple request from your drinks list to be 'a problem' to be honest!

Seriously?

It's 2015 and you expect a fellow human being to address you as sir and especially when your order is 'fish & chips'

Going to a restaurant and the table next to us give their daughter a ipad to play a game on, and all you can hear is this kid playing some kind of Dora The Explorer game...
"Swiper, no swiping" and "Backpack, backpack" followed by beeps n shit.
I had to ask the matradee to move us.
