Irrational Hatred
People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Bought and brought...
People using the word 'brought' when they mean 'bought' really really fucks me off. Especially as the 1st people I heard using it were working in my office... in the SALES department.
It seems to be a mark of intelligence as the 2 scrap yards on the road we used to live on (rent was cheap) also used it on their signs: 'cars brought for cash' and 'scrap brought 4 cash'.
Also, people in shit cars sitting in the overtaking lane of 2 lane motorways/A roads (hello all you A42 fans) when there's nothing in the inside lane for about 2 miles... I can go faster than you and I would rather not have to dive up the inside to prove it!
And... R&B

That said, we're all sitting at 70 so why does it matter what lane we're in? ;)

that's just it!
If they were sitting at 70 then I wouldn't have much of an argument... but they aren't! They sit there waiting for the truck to get out of the way in front and then do approximately 60.5mph (after accelerating for a few minutes) to crawl past it, then sit there waiting patiently whilst the car gets up to 70, which they could do in the inside lane no problem. I drive quickly but I tend not to speed.
