People who always have mobile phone conversations on speakerphone.
You aren't on the fucking apprentice. Nobody else needs to hear it. hold the phone to your head or fuck off
I do this when I'm on the phone at home - because I don't like holding a phone up to my ear. Not sure why - I just don't feel comfortable doing it and I find I can hear better through the speaker. I don't do it in public mind, but then if I'm in public I normally keep phone conversations as short as possible or I have my headphones in anyway and use them. |

This whole Sam Smith, gender neutral, refer to me as They” thing.
You have a cock, you’re a bloke, simple.
Not a considered a politically correct view these days but fuck it.
I work with a couple of trans women and I have a mate who has gone through the change as well. It is extremely difficult for them I think and it's a pretty big decision so I completely respect when a man wants to become a woman or vice versa... But the whole pronoun thing has me a bit lost, I don't really understand it tbh. Not to say I won't respect it, I have another person in my office who has told me they prefer the pronouns 'they / them' and it's not an issue for me. |

Adults can do whatever they like so long as a) try to understand not everyone will get it and b) don't transpose your thoughts on to kids.

Awesome story to tell the Grandkids but I'm intrigued as to why it annoys or you don't understand it?  Well neither really but we didn't have an "Euuuuggghhhh" thread and it didn't seem that important to create a new one |

Bloody fat fingers. I've just sent a female colleague an email including the haunting phrase: "I appreciate how busty you are."  |

Exactly this! I was reading an article about this "off the grid" family who don't believe in school and personal hygiene etc. They let their kids eat what, when and where they want. They dont work etc etc. They're grown adults and can make their own decisions, but for the love of god, don't jeopardized your children's upbringing. |

The concept of sex is one thing, the concept of Gender is pretty new. Some cultures have more than two. It's very Victorian type of construct that we further developed in the 1900's |

I don't know if it's been posted already but the treatment of the RNLI by the Daily Mail.
This has lead to many idiots, influenced by said media outlet, to withdraw donations.
You can historically support Nazi's but don't you dare think about using funds to save peoples lives in an international capacity. Hardly surprising, bunch of tossers.
The RNLI's response was class though.

It's likely the case that the vast majority kicking off and saying they will stop sending payments have never made a single payment anyway.

Pleasingly the RNLI have reported a definite spike upwards in donations since the (non) story was run! |
