And constantly using superlatives, "I swapped out the part" NO...you swapped the part!

People who don't know what superlatives are.........but call them superlatives anyway............oh, and if I told you any other secret things that annoy me, they wouldn't be secrets any more. That ould REALLY annoy me.

My wife when she asks me to do something around the house, and then tells me how to do it!

You're quite right, of course but in my defence, I was too busy being angry

Are you kidding?

I wasn't Vernon, no.

Although sensing the possible finger of ridicule I went ahead with a Wiki search of rising intonation.

It appears from this that I might have misinterpreted the meaning from the OP (or possibly not).

I refer to the way Uni students, especially middle & upper middle class students & pseudo posh students tend towards accentuating the last word with higher pitch & elongation of the word.
Hard to describe my meaning without speaking it.

Intonation as far as I can deduce.

My sister, the only member of my immediate family to have gone to Uni, does this now, having never done it prior to Uni.

I believe she deliberately changed her accent & the way in which she delivers a sentence in order to fit in with her Cheshire set friends.

Or maybe you might just be in disbelief that it could irk someone.

Annoys me in the way that the constant use of innit, arksed (asked) & yeah does.

Ha, ha bloody ha vernon.

Do you know fella (& believe me this is no slur) of all the CC'ers I regularly read posts from or post to, you are the one I find hardest to decipher.

And now I have gone & missed the B100D¥ obvious & entered the twilight zone.

Done myself a right kipper.

Don't worry about it. I deal with kids whose parents still believe, from when I taught them, that I am a fourth dan black belt in Ikebana and not a man to be messed with.

It secretly annoys me that cycling, or rather cycle spectating has become popular.

"Do you have a xx card? Would you like one?" Every time. Torn between loathing and sympathy. Every time. I know they are under strict instructions to ask every customer. They must hate it too.

I'm sort of with you on that one. That is to say that whilst I like seeing more people on bikes, and feel upbeat generally about its increase in popularity, I don't really associate myself with it and don't like people assuming that because I ride a bike (and wear Lycra perhaps) that I must follow pro-cycling and support TeamSky or whatever.
