Me too but I spotted his spelling mistake.

People who go on holiday and put out of office replies that just congratulate themselves on what a great job they do. Normally things like "I am enjoying a well earned break" or "I am disconnecting for a few weeks after a tough year" or "I am taking time to recharge".

It's not a blinking eulogy, it's just telling people you won't be in the office.

Yeah, I feel the same about people who self advertise 'self care days' which seems to be a big thing with uni's atm.

What's a self care day? Do you need the Google Incognito tab to do that?

It's just a day which you take off work to basically look after yourself. It's not so much the principle of it, just the kinds of people who self advertise they're taking one all over twitter.

Big golf fan, love watching it but agree - Olympics is not about giving people who are on telly 49 weeks a year another chance to be watched. Ditto tennis, you have your place, use that or - alternately, have BMX races round centre court of Wimbledon just before the men's final.

Golf at the Olympics should be amateur only, similar to Boxing.

It would provide a natural world peak of the amateur game, persuade young golfers to delay turning pro before they're ready, and really mean something to the participants.

Simples. Put it on the blocked words list please @David

"To be brutally honest" 

Usually said before giving a very tame, uncontroversial opinion on something.

To be brutally honest I prefer salt and vinegar Pringles to Texas BBQ Pringles.

Had some from Morrisons, liked them, much better than the pulled pork burger ones.

People who instead of using the bullet points / numerical list features type it in manually. Then I remove bullet point 12 out of 20 and have to fix them all.
The same people hit enter for a new line rather than letting it do it automatically, so when I resize the text box I have something else to fix.

I’m my defence, the title was changed from my original one of something like “Random stuff that annoys me”

Not sure why it was made specific to people and it annoys me to this day.

Well, whatever smartarsed comment I was trying to make did blow up in my face so that will teach me for trying to play the gramar pedant (and yes, that one was on purpose).

At least you can tell your friends on Twitter you got stoned today.

Oh no, you can't, you've lost your phone....

Association football is the full name of the sport (differentiating itself from rugby football).
Soccer was originally the accepted nickname up until around the 50s, before starting to fade out in the 60s (replaced by just 'football')

That’s right. Rugby Football was shortened to rugger and Association Football was soccer. When I was a lad in the backstreets of Derby in the 50s, soccer was used quite a lot but was dropped quite quickly in favour of football

Same with tennis.
