No, not at all. Forget your watch one day, and see if you don't do it. Pointing to your wrist also makes it easier for me to understand what you want if I'm not really paying attention when you ask. If I see you pointing at your wrist, I'll immediately look at my watch and tell you the time, without making you repeat yourself. This is, of course sometimes embarassing, when people are asking me if it's a rolex or not, or if they're asking me something completely unrelated, but 9 times out of 10 "eleven eleven" will suffice.
2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire
room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and
change the channel manually.
No. Fuck changing the channel manually, except maybe while you look for the remote. If you don't find the remote, you have to get up repeatedly, not just once. Don't be stupid. That totally kills the relaxation that is watching television.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Bloody right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
I guess I'll give you that one.
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?
Makes sense. *hate*
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No
tosser, I paid £5 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.
No. I might have missed something subtle, like a flaw from scene to scene, or a reflection in the mirror (like in mothman prophecies), or been staring down the shirt of the chick next to me, or telling some stupid 16 year olds to shut the fuck up.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
That's hardly a major question. I'd rather that they asked me that than launching directly into something of major importance to them or myself, when I'm really not in the mood for it. "Can I ask you a question?" gives me at least a few seconds to prepare for actually having to think about something and give a serious reply.
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new,
then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
Picky fucker, aren't you?
8. When people say "life is short". What?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
Fair enough, but they're only telling you to live. It's for your own good. Carpe Diem and shit.
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?
Buses are for peasants. Ugly ones.
10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?
Let the old people bitch. They're falling apart. It's sad and pathetic, and you know exactly what they mean, and you're just being a picky, smartass crotchgoblin
11. When your eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really revolting I always eat stuff I hate.
I eat my own cooking. It ain't always great, but I eat it. If someone asks me if it's good, and it's not, I'll say "It's edible, but you're probably better off making your own."
12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.
I tend to be curious when people get up and leave the room. Not having to ask can be nice. Just don't picture it, sick freak.
13. Macdonald's staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering.....It has to be a Mcchicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger you get blank looks...........Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you McTosser.
They're either 17 or 70, and get used to hearing McChicken all day. It's a mindless job, and if they lose their vocabularies at work, it's probably due to the fact that they know that they're working a dead end job for next to no money, hate it, and are letting their minds wander to a better time. If that means that I have to add an extra syallable, I'm willing to empathize about that much.
14. When you involved in an accident and someone asks 'are you all right?'. Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.
Yeah, because there's no way they could just be checking to see if you're conscious, or injured in any way. A normal response would be a good thing, indicating that you are, in fact, okay. If your limbs are in fact off, your response would likely be something of the "ARrrghbllellapefeeeeeeeyoooo" variety, indicating extreme pain. They'd probably pick your limbs up for you, if that were the case.
