Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Gunk]

Folk who go into a trendy coffee shop and ask for a 'lartay' instead of a latte; short pronounced 'a'.
'Latte' is Italian, geddit right - !
Or; invariably in a sporting context, when folk say 'absolutely decimated'. Again, a standalone word meaning a loss of one tenth of the amount and not the huge loss implied by the addition of 'absolutely'.

"Guys" is quite normal nowadays to refer to a mixed gender group, not just among wait staff. My daughter (42 year old so not just Yoof) does it all the time, as do her friends.

Yesterday I was in my local homewares shop (The Range) and the girl at the till called me "my love" about 3 times. Bear in mind I'm 42 and I look it...and she was probably no more than 21. It really was very weird and I don't know how or why they think it a term of endearment especially towards a customer!

A normal greeting in some parts of the country

A normal greeting in some parts of the country

The veg stall owner at a local market used to call me 'my love', which really threw me the first that he did it. He was from Leeds. I was told that it was a common gender-neutral greeting there!

As is "my lover" in other parts.

Kitchen islands. Why?

No idea! Especially when the kitchen isn't big enough to justify one.
It's the same sort of people who hang a crystal chandelier in a two-up two-down

They are for enjoying Prosecco and to “love, live and laugh”
