Whatever happened

[bobnick]

Whatever happened to "Please may i have" when ordering something. It's would appear only us fossils use it now. These baby's say, "Can i get"??? what!!!!!
So what's your irritation when you here young un's (apart from the obvious effing and blinding).

 

[MC 55 FUN]

The lack of '' Thank you '' as well.

 

[Richard n Ann]

Every sentence starts with "So"
And they can't hear how silly it sounds.

 

[Wildweasle]

Things can only get worse I fear

My pet hate, and those who do so are considered to be intelligent and educated

I know exactly what you are talking about !

“ Can I get a,A venti salted caramel mocha frappucino with five pumps of frap roast, four pumps of caramel sauce, four pumps of caramel syrup, three pumps of mocha, three pumps of toffee nut syrup, double blended with extra whipped cream.”

Err.. That might as well be in Chinese

If I was a server I'd be tempted to say: "No you can't. Customers aren't allowed behind the counter".

And why do interviewees on the radio feel it necessary to say: "Thank you for for having me on your show", especially when it's someone who knows they're about to grilled over their incompetence or a misdemeanour. I suspect it's the result of media interview training as it tends to give them a relaxed upper hand image as if they are pleased to have the opportunity to clear their name.

Plus so many feel it necessary at the beginning of a radio interview to ask: "How are you?" Neither I nor they are interested and it's just a throwaway line. My DIL does it all the time, even at the start of two phone calls in 20 mins. I either ignore it or tell her I'm much the same as I was twenty minutes ago.

( Getting old, intolerant and grumpy shouldn't happen so quickly).

I’m sure your parents, and older generations all thought the same of you lot when you were young.

I am infuriated when listening to someone presenting information on an important topic when I have to get to the stage of counting the 'err' s or the 'you knows'.

I find a lack of the pronunciation of the letter "t" in many common word irritating. "Know wha a mean"

It's been coming a long time. First heard it said a few times by a young apprentice in the 1990's. At the bar he said "Can I get?." I interrupted patronisingly "no Lee, it's OK they get it for you!"

 

[Landy Andy]

“Can I get” is better than “I will have”

Yes, the word tattoo has become quite funny now... Ta-oo or even a-oo if you can't even be bothered with the first t. Yes we are devolving into grunting apes I think.

That woman on Sky news with the plastic face, she always turns her back on the people on the screen before she says thank you or if she remembered.

You must be talking about Donald and Boris then!
Neither can string a sentence together in one go.

 

[scousebird]

"Do you know what i mean" is another one, do you know what i mean

Like!

My nephew's partner who is very scouse finishes almost every sentence with "ya know warra mean like"

Also many seem to add an "h" after an "s" , as in "reshtriction" or "shtreets".

Who are the '' we '' you refer to ?

 

[nicholsong]

“Can I get” is better than “I will have”

Even worse is "Give me a ....."

 

[Vipar]

Got a friend who starts every sentence with. “Obviously”

Obviously I find it annoying innit
