Words that are spelt totally different to how they sound.
I just can't read "quay" as "key". I read is as "kway" and then have to correct it in my head.
Loads of names that I have the same issue with. How does Dalziel end up as sounding like DL?.

Estate agents saying "per calendar month" on Homes under the Hammer. Just say month. We understand. 
Winds me up.
 
Homes under the Hammer. Only associate it with being ill because that's the only time I watch it. Constant recaps & the show could be cut down by a quarter by removing them. 

I thought she called it Crich?

Having picked up a bout of the trots at a kids party last weekend & feeling properly rough......
Waking up this morning feeling back up to full speed, then tightening my belt a notch and notice I've lost 4lb.

Arrival
A linguist professor is signed up to try to communiate with aliens when 12 of their craft appear suddenly and hover over various global locations.
A film about aliens but not at all in an "Independence Day" way and all the better for it. Great acting, sound, story, strong message and good plot twist.
Felt a bit like Contact, to watch, but thankfully without the rubbish ending.
8/10

I disagree with your good man on this example Angie. By stopping, I'm acknowledging I've seen someone waiting to cross, a courtesy if you like, an acknowledgement of that courtesy shouldn't be too much to ask should it ?
That said, I once held a door open for the person following me into a department store, it happened to be a lady who told me she was quite capable of opening a door for herself. 
The older I get,  the more I prefer the company of my dogs to some people. 

Just how many wotsits, mini scotch eggs and jaffa cakes did you eat at the party?
And all that fizzy pop and running around showing off. I've no sympathy. (Tut).

I'm happily married, early 40's & certainly no Brad Pitt but do try & look after myself.
I've never cheated and never will but I have to admit it does give me a spring in my step when I get checked out at the gym or out & about.

Ex-Pats moaning about Brexit.
I have 2 relatives (wife's step-siblings) who never stop ranting about Brexit on Facebook & moaning about how awful it is.
She has lived in Colorado, USA for over 15 years.
He has been in Mongolia for 3 years but also lived in USA before that.
He posted another one last night & was demanding that remainers stand up and do everything possible to stop the process. YOU HAVEN'T LIVED HERE FOR 20 YEARS AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF RETURNING. GO AWAY YOU MUPPET!
It's only for the sake of family harmony that I haven't ripped either of them to pieces before now.

Feel for you mate. I do.
There's lots of good advice on here but the best I can give you is don't try and get through it on your own. Most of us have tried and (for most of us) it doesn't work.
I had hardly any support from people. I kept it from friends and most family, as we weren't the sort of family who shared feelings and thoughts. My (then) wife didn't seem overly bothered by it either though she could see what it was doing to me. My way out was via medication.
Once I was starting to feel better, though, I opened up to my family about it and it has had the most dramatic effect on our relationship. My family now do talk more about stuff and I found out about my mum's past anxiety and the time when my (farmer) dad was close to walking off down the field with his sheepdog & shot gun and not coming back again.
Powerful stuff. Talking.

Women with drawn on eyebrows
and while we're at it....
Massive eyelashes, so she has to tip her head back to open her eyes.
Obvious fake tan
Fake boobs
Any obvious cosmetic work.
 
Basically , I don't like women to be fake.

Insincerity generally.
Following on from the fake women thing I suppose but I hate it when I feel like anyone is putting on an act.
I hate BS. Especially the alpha-male type stuff that men do for effect.
I hate making small-talk in social situations. Not because I can't do it but why would I want to talk to someone who I'm never going to see again and whose name I won't be able to remember 5 minutes from now.
In a group situation, if I have something to contribute to a conversation, I will do so. Otherwise I'm happy to listen to others.
People often think that I'm quiet. I'm not. I'd just rather have a proper conversation with someone. Exchange views and have a laugh, yes, but not just try to score points off each other the whole time.

I get peed off on Amazon when I'm looking for something, see it has good reviews but then when I read them, all the 5 star ones are posted by people who have been "given the product in return for an impartial revew". Yeah, right.
The reviews for Veet for men are always good for a chuckle, though....

Yeah, I have used that one a couple of distant relatives who started sharing loads of Britain First propaganda ******.
It's only because of the wildlife photography that both of these two post, that I do stay following them. Colorado and Mongolia have some stunning scenery.

There is an unfollow button on Facebook, which basically mutes them without them ever knowing but you stay friends with them, it is brilliant for family members that annoy 

I've lived in Spain for 19 years and when people ask me about Brexit I just shrug. I've been away for 19 years for Christ's sake, I don't even understand it let alone worry about it!

Mate, I clicked on this link not expectingmuch. Those questions and top reviews gave me a right good laugh.
