LOL is awful. It wouldn't matter nearly so much if people ACTUALLY USED IT WHEN THEY WERE LAUGHING. That is not too difficult a concept to grasp... but instead it's a stopgap for when you can't think of anything to say. I refuse to say it. My friend writes lol and smileys when she's writing by HAND. That is awful... She also says "hee hee" IN REAL LIFE. It is so irritating. I feel ever so tempted to slap her. Unfortunately the only people wiling to be my friends are all cracked

Oh god, yes... You see, at least in America you can't put Christmas stuff there before Thanksgiving or Halloween... here you can slap it in pretty much straight after Father's day.

Agreed on the "lol" point, so annoying when people use it every 2 lines on msn! Also the looooooooooooooool doesn't help much either...

I give it five years and people will use lol as an actual word. I mean it does kinda have it's own meaning...when you find something funny but not funny enough to laugh. It would replace the fake laugh. I actually know people who are starting to say it...
Ironic when it means 'laugh out loud', but still...

1. Clowns 2. MK Dons 3. Stupid drivers 4. Ignorant Americans 5. People who end sentences with 'fact' when their sentence is opinion/false
Dishonourable mentions go to: people who TYPE IN CAPS Or LiKe ThIs, over-arrogance/condecension on the internet, Apple-lovers, the Birmingham accent, misuse of the word 'irony', over-political-correctness, environmentalists, pushy bouncers, Amy Winehouse, politics in general, petrol prices, people who honestly think the England football team are very good, the word 'slit'/'lush'/'wince', Harry Kewell, the dentist, excessive cynicism and negativity, Silent Cry's lack of the exposure it deserves, Wrights of Hatfield, Canadians, people who go looking for arguments, blaming the credit crunch, and chavs.

Not just 'fact,' but all those shitty little phrases people throw in to conversation for no reason.
- you know what i'm saying? - i ain't being funny or nuffink - d'ye get me - innit - at the end of the day - beleive you me - i'll tell you something for nothing - is it? - when used in the wrong place. I had to lecture some chav on the bus (i was in a bad mood anyway) because of the following - "didn't you know she was pregnant?" "is it?!" "no word of lie, at the end of the day though, i 'haven't being funny or nuffink, but d'ye know what I mean?"
SERIOUSLY.

5. People who end sentences with 'fact' when their sentence is opinion/false Best blame David Brent/Ricky Gervais for that one, he kept saying it in "The Office" and then went into common usage like Homer Simpson's "DO'H! (annoyed grunt)".

Apple-lovers, the Birmingham accent, excessive cynicism and negativity, Canadians, - Apple lovers - well, yes, I agree that it can be annoying when people want to get into arguments all the time and it causes a stupid feud, but why is it wrong to prefer one make of computer over another, especially when it serves your purpose better? Have you noticed that most graphic designers and musicians use Apple? I wonder why that is? I will add to my list: - PC users who write off Apple and haven't used one (I have used PCs, thankyou very much so I have a point of comparison.) - Brummie accent - people can't help their accents! - Excessive cynicism and negativity. You seem to be exhibiting a bit of this, old chap, with your very long list... - Canadians..WHY? What's wrong with Canadians? I don't see how you can write off a whole country as being all bastards, and if I were to do that, it wouldn't be Canadians... And one thing I've got to rant about: SPORT. Deeply entrenched into Aussie culture, and I couldn't care less! I seem to be one of the only people on the planet who does not support any sort of football team. I hate playing it, I hate watching it, I hate discussing it, I don't understand the rules, I don't LIKE IT, I hate the way sport skills are valued above all others, and being good at sport seems to excuse you from being a bastard, and lets you roll in money... PLEASE GET OVER SPORT. I do not care which team wins, because they are sure to lose again in the future. Nothing will ever change! (There's your excessive cynicism and negativity Kev)

People who use the word "party" as a verb.
Heat Magazine.
Kate Nash.
People who walk slowly in front of me.
The word "guesstimate".
Any film with Kiera Knightley in it - ever.
There will probably be more to follow.
