1. Same Difference
not the creepy brother and sister act who sings love songs to each other, but the saying
When people say same difference, it annoys me. I've no idea if it is good English or not, and quite frankly I don’t care. People say it to mean the 'its the same thing'.
If I were asked to define the term 'same difference' I would think it was more like having a red square and a blue square, the difference between them is the colour, the difference between the purple circle and the orange circle is also colour, it is the same difference. Yes, I am a shape racist.
I’m probably being ignorant of the English language, in which case my pet peeve is people who aren’t on the same level of ignorance as me.

2. Loud Eating
Not just people who eat with their mouth open, but also the people who eat with their mouth closed but make that vomit inducing squishy noise brought on by what I can only assume is an excess of saliva. One of my good mates is guilty of this and I have taken to either distancing myself from her when she eats or eating at the same time so I have something else to distract myself.
Same goes for people when trying a little sip of wine or a little bite of food smack their tongue on the top of their mouth GAHHH!

3. People who laugh at my hands
When counting from one to five on your fingers, the majority people go Thumb, Pointer, Middle, Ring, Little. Now I have an apparently retard ring finger that I cannot lift unless my little finger is already up. So when I count I go Thumb, Pointer, Middle ,Little, Ring. And people always laugh, why is my spazzy finger funny? you wouldn’t laugh at a people whos legs wont work would you? Or would you? Wanker.

4.
People who make the bus going to Poole stop to ask is it is going to Bournemouth. No, it isn’t, and if the fact that it says Poole on the front of the bus, and that Poole is in the completely opposite direction to Bournemouth, LOOK AT THE FUCKING TIMETABLES! Every single other bus that stops at your stop every 10-15 minutes not only goes to Bournemouth, but says it on the front.

5. They are not potato wedgies.
That would surely be to get a potato stuck up your arse. And I am afraid that we don't offer those sort of services at the Bournemouth Uni student bar. They are potato Wedges, talk properly you are at Uni, if you cant even read a menu, how are you going to write a whole dissertation?

This gets a hearty *click* from me...
...partly for the loud eating thing (which I've already posted about earlier today) but also for the real giggles that the phrase "That would surely be to get a potato stuck up your arse" is making me do.

About number 3
I have this too! I solve it by counting the opposite way - little, ring, middle, index, thumb. Works like a charm!

*clicky* for this as well as 2 and 5.
