Pet hates?

Featured Replies

Mines is....

Cogs....No it's gears or sprockets.

 

When people say numbers eg..

0800 591 460

It's a Zero as that is a number, it's not an O because that's a letter.

Zero isn't a number either. Its the null set, nothing, a place value holder...being pedantic of course.

Oh, and it should be " mine is".

Mines are underground workings,tunnels etc..

 

My pet hate ...I don't like pedants.

Is that simultaneously or sort of independent?

Independent as I would be tempted to beat someone up if it was simultaneously. Lol

Not sure if I should write '0' or 'Oh!' to that one?

Fair point. Its debatable.

 

That would be "It is debatable" or "It's debatable".

 

And for the OP: I don't hate pets, but I am not a huge fan either.

Yes , you are correct. You pedant you.

"In Science, we do things a bit differently. The burden of proof falls upon the proponent to define the word number and to justify

that zero falls within this category. It is the mathematicians who have to justify that zero is a number before making it a law by

decree and not the other way around. If zero is not a number there is no reason for the mathematicians to insist on this

ludicrous proposal so late in the history of Man. The burden falls on the mathematicians to define the word number

unambiguously. Then we will know for sure whether zero is a number or not. The symbol zero will either fit the description

or not. Until the mathematicians can do this there is no reason to regard zero as a number."

 

Don't believe everything on Wiki...

 

If it were a number you could divide by it. You cant.It isn't.

Instead of O or zero, let's just say it's nought. :)

 

My pet hates? How long have you got?

.

Although zero might not be a number on its own, Four zero (40) is a number, and so is one zero eight (108), so we can amend the statement in OP, to "It's a Zero as that is a part of number, it's not an O because that's a letter."

Now we can go back to hating those guys - ugh!

 

My pet hates:

  • People that eat their food without shutting their mouth after food is inserted.
  • Selfish people.
  • Bullies
  • People at the Supermarket checkout, who don't get their money/coupons ready before they get to the point where they have to pay. They always look like it's a surprise that they have to pay.
  • Energy saving light-bulbs. They were invented by the devil to cast us all into darkness.
  • The smell and taste of liver. It brings a violent physical reaction to my guts every time. Nothing worse than going out for a meal with friends, when one of them decides on the liver. I literally have to sit the other side of the restaurant
  • Fleas. Occasionally, my cats get them. If you get bitten, it's going to itch for a week - longer if you scratch it. Why did god invent fleas and mosquitoes?

*Drivers coming close when I have a hi-viz on "Always shake my head "cannot you not see"

*Hate repeating myself to someone

*Hate users

* Hate Two faced people

* Hate bullies "Lower then a snake belly"

* When people ask your for advice and you give advice and then take no notice of what you are saying at all and do something completely the opposite to what you have said and then they ask can you help me with this "what is the point in asking in the first place"

 

*Hate it when people don't return favours when you have do something for them and they won't go out their way for you and at the time saying they would do anything for you if you need anything they come up with nothing at all.

 

Hate people that take the Micky out of people and when you give a good answer back they don't like it at all and they get in a bad mood

Because they cannot take it back if you are going to dish it out then a least accept the worse thing coming back to you

 

I hate it when you are cycling down a canal path and beeping your horn at 140db i am sure they can hear it with no problems at all and they are that rude and wont move out of your way to let you get passed because they think they own the footpath and then some people would shout at you say you should beep "just cannot win"

 

I hate it when your down a country lane and their is a horse around and you are telling the person on the horse that you are behind them and they look at you like you are nothing and you want to get passed with ease without being kicked

 

I hate it down country lanes when farmers wont clean up after them selfs when commuting down to the next town loads of muck on the road and they cannot be bothered to clean it up i swear they leave more on the road then what in their farm all together

 

I hate it when you are cycling down country lanes and their is a car behind you pull in for them and they don't even put their hand up or say thank you to you because you have let them passed you

 

I hate also impatient drivers down country lanes where you have no where to pull in at all because the road is too tight to pull or if you did pull in you would probably scratch the paint work on their car and their right behind you getting angry with you because you are not pulling in and you thinking to yourself i cannot pull because their is no where to pull in

The use of "parking up" instead of simply "parking". Likewise with "heading up" when used to describe "heading" an organisation or similar body.

 

TV weather forecasters who continually insert "the course of" during their forecasts, e.g. during "the course of" the day/afternoon or whatever. I heard one the other day who referred to "during the course of the overnight period" - maybe they are paid by the number of words used.

 

The use of "like", as in "I was like......" which seems to be spreading upwards from the younger generation.

Gods, all of them.

Anything to do with religion.

Brainwashing.

Fake news and the avoidance of reporting real news.

Cold callers.

 

The amazon delivery guy that ripped the arm of his leather jacket, claiming that he didn't see the sign on my gate.

Sorry, 'Like' was very much 1950/60s Beatnik.

US tombstone inscription for Beatnik,

'Like I'm really gone this time man,

Don't dig me now.'

Kissing and caressing with passion in busy public places as in light love making with tongues sticking out.

And being forced to hear peoples loud conversations whilst travelling on public transport.

Am I also being a public nuisance ?
