You know what really grinds my gears?

[general_lee]

Queuing up in the barber, in a rush. Person in front either having little to no hair, or very short hair (like the fool in front of me right now) or some nerd getting a beard line up. No call for it!

Painting ceilings. Nothing worse.

Laying down at work today because my bad back was playing up and then getting my leg trapped against the table a wall in the vacant office. Then the University girl on a year's placement having to free me from it.

That kinda grind my gears today.

Aye! Painted a room last week and whilst the walls are okay the ceiling could do with another coat. Hate it.

The bbc commentary on this world athletics championships. With how much maligning they have given gatlin (it would be rightfully so were it applied consistently might i add), what they say about semenya and now radcliffe being an iaaf cheerleader when they are making a farce of this illness outbreak it is getting hard to listen to.

People saying "laying" when they mean "lying." You lie in the present tense, you lay in the past.

I seems to be almost universal in US speech to use the transitive 'lay' (to lay something down) for the intransitive 'lie'.
Present tense, 'lay', past tense 'laid'.
I am laying down. I laid down yesterday.

Americans also cut their food with the edge of the fork instead of using a knife like a normal human being. Doesn't make it right.

And say "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less".
