Got an email at work this morning from our accounts manager. She often sends jokes as well as work related stuff so I know her well. This one was one of those... ''send onto every body you know otherwise something really bad will happen''. Something to do with a Leprechaun or something. I read the first line but got bored.
I deleted it but it really got up my goat. She is a very intelligent woman. I spoke to her and she was sent it from a 'friend' apparently. I honestly believe she thought something bad would happen if she didn’t do as instructed.

I often get them, from people I would have thought would have more sense, It just really winds me-up.
Silly I know but some people.

Dude, seriously. A friend of mine didn't send on that leprechaun email and no-one has heard from him since. Police have searched his home, but all they found was a load of Lucky Charms and a pot of gold.

Brilliant. A "What winds you up thread"

Ideal for boilsmypissery and STWers with a superiority complex to talk about how nothing [i]ever[/i] annoys them.

Haven't had one of these in ages.

If someone in the same office sent me an email saying "send onto every body you know otherwise something really bad will happen"

They'd have to be congratulated on their foresight, as they sat wondering why their shoes were suddenly feeling wet, but strangely; quite warm at the same time

There's nothing worse than people who go on to a 'what gets your goat?' thread to say how much they hate 'what gets your goat?' threads. I mean, haven't they got anything better to do?
I bloody have.

When people who don't do any sports call going to the gym 'training' when all they do is weights (badly). You training to fill that t-shirt, bub?

It's a shame you can't block people's emails at work isn't it. My day would be much more pleasant.

its pronounced 'Lethal-D(ezzyB)'

something that does wind me up:

mrsconsequence devotes a surprising amount of time to pointing out healthy examples of boobs on other women yet apparently if we're going to have a 3some its gotta be with mila klunis... who doesnt respond to my emails despite me mentioning that we now have central heating and i could pick up some sausage rolls for a 'mid ride snack'.

1) Stupid phrases like 'gets your goat' (irrespective of whether you have one

2) People getting said stupid phrases wrong: 'gets [i]up[/i] your goat'? WTF?

I think the question is: if you had a goat, what would you like to put up it?

Car drivers doing the school run sat on their lardy rears leaving the engine running ,Parking 1/2 on the paverment, 1/2 on the road , pulling out without indicating ,nearly hitting me and my children, mentioning car tax and my right to be there and then not responding well to being told their BMI is greater than their IQ.
THAT

The guy beside me who hums to himself and has to tear every sheet of paper in half 3 times before he puts it in the bin. Weird.

And people who put a 'k' on the end of words, like 'anything' becomes 'anythingk'.

And people who say 'tith' instead of 'tooth'. Is that a Midlands thing?

right at this moment, it's talking to the bloody robot bloke at CPP Ltd (cardguard) who took out a payment from my account automatically when I have not renewed or agreed to anything and they sent a letter to my old address, as for some reason, my bank didn't tell them my new address. So now I've paid 31 quid for something I don't want and I am past the "cooling off" period to get a refund. Gaah! Now to phone HSBC and have a go at them...

Kevevs have you not heard of the direct debit guarantee, tell your bank this contract ended ages ago and you want a refund, they'll give it back.

Is it wrong to laff loudly at a squirrel being catapulted?

People leaving their engines running at level crossing barriers or while sitting in their noisy diesel Chelsea tractor outside my house while chatting to one of my neighbours for 20 mins.

Should have their licences confiscated and cars crushed - perhaps while they're still in them.

Use of the apparent word "guestimate"
Its a guess. Or an estimation.
Not a bastardisation of the 2.

that does annoy me, but I know some people who do it because they don't want to go for a walk with a dog-turd in their pocket, and they pick it up on the way back.
Still grim though.

I seem to have ruffled a few feathers, not sure why and would rather not get involved,a few sensible answers as well though.

The Dog Sh*t one is so true.

Still not had the Leprechaun get me though, maybe he is picking his moment.

and yes, why do some youngsters wear their trousers like that?
