Better yet wait for them to call, let them in, then excuse yourself for a shit and ask them to kindly open the door should it knock again.

He also asked if I wanted to go back to his house and see his cat and showed me all the stuff he had in his bag (some clothes, crisps and tablets in case anyone is wondering)

Stop obsessing then!
Maybe while you are at it, stop sh1t stirring - again - too!
Aww actually , fill your boots - you'll only get yourself banned for about the 13th time in about as many years.
I'll leave you to it.

My mother is one - it takes her about twenty minutes to manoeuvre a medium sized roundabout.

Companies sneaking up the cost of stuff without actually giving you anything extra.
I went to buy my usual muesli in Tesco yesterday.
It was £170 - ish for a kilo a couple of months ago.
Then it went up to £2 a kilo.
Now it's £2 for 750g !!!

I'm a bit of a fan of Pointless on the TV early evening, but over the last couple of years, whenever AA asks contestants of say - 30 and under - to describe themselves, the reply invariably starts with "So .. "
The same theme then continues into the answers also.
It is certainly mildly irritating. :ohwell:

Vocal fry. It's usually American women/girls under 40 that for some bizarre reason (I'm sure it never used to be like this) feel the need to sort of croak the end of their sentences. Some even croak everything they say now. Winds me right up.

My brother basically starts every sentence with basically.
It's got to the point where his kids say basically every time he does it. At which point he stops doing it for about 3 seconds then reverts to type.
Basically he's fecking annoying.

What happens in a thread stays in a thread though imo, move on innit.

So .. basically, that literally makes me explode.

Re: Things that mildly irritate you
The way that people put the beginning of the sentence at the end, trying to sound like the sarcastic bloke out of Friends, e.g "You were going to tell me you were shagging my sister, when?"

The correct way of pronouncing the name of that city perhaps.
