Behaviour which needs to be banned...

[pineapple stu]

-People leaving doors open, especially the sitting room door while I'm in there with the heating on.

On a similar vein, people who come in to a room, turn on the telly and then leave the room with the telly still on. It was off for a reason!

[osarusan]

It was off for a reason!

Because you're too lazy to get up and turn it on?

[pineapple stu]

Try again.

[Schumi]

Try again.

Because you haven't bought it yet?

[pineapple stu]

Well yeah, there's that as well.

[OwlsFan]

You want peace and quiet to look at your porn mags?

[Bluebeard]

You've only got RTE 1 and 2?

Shorthand, what a load of pointless, ridiculous old bollicks.

I'm just impressed you made it to the second semester of undergrad Journalism. I blame the drinks promotions.

-People making no attempt to pay back money of their own accord. They will never actually give it back without being continuously reminded.

-People obviously blocking your view of a television in a bar without a care in the word.

-Ever get a snackbox with curry & stuffing? well it's much nicer when they dump the stuffing on first and then drown it in curry. It's pretty dry the other way round so I'd like to ban this.

-When you get a sandwich/roll in a shop and they only put butter/mayonnaise on one side. I feel kind of petty telling them to put it on both but it's important to me, so I do!

-When somebody asks you for some of your drink and they wipe the top of the bottle with their dirty hands, a real pet hate of mine.

-People being needlessly loud, banging doors, thumping up and down the stairs, banging on the keyboard like it's a typewriter, etc.

-People leaving doors open, especially the sitting room door while I'm in there with the heating on.

I entirely agree with the above bold parts, and especially the final two. People making loud noises, completely unaware of it drives me crazy. Go into a room, close over the door behind you, you nincompoop!

no i won't go to the off license thursday night or go to a restaurant friday,i shouldn't have to,this isn't the middle east,time to come out of the dark ages

Beer's plentiful and cheap in most countries here, you should try it sometime!

the use of the word nincompoop

[thischarmingman]

the use of the word nincompoop

When I use it, I always think of the way Blackadder says it in Series 2; "In order nincompoop, that she should believe you're her husband."

Just something about the way he pronounces it savouring every syllable, and also the way he says 'In order...'

Rowan Atkinson has a stutter, and stressing particular consonants - b and p in the main - help him overcome it apparently. Makes some of his phrases even more memorable. You see if whenever he addresses Bob in Blackadder Goes Forth as well.
