Stevo985 Posted March 9, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2011 People who put chocoalte in the fridge. It's a bit like eating chocolate, but brittle and not as tasty.This is a bit like the "thick vs. thin pancakes" debate - I actually like both chilled chocolate AND soft, room-temperature chocolate. Depends on my mood. I'm the same, but it depends on the chocolate for me. Hard chocolate such as dairy milk or Bournville or kit kats, chocolate that you break into pieces before you eat it anyway, is best cold, imo. Things like MArs bars, caramels, fudges etc are best at room temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I had a mate at uni like that. He'd just shout random things at the TV when he knew something about it. I remember one time we were watching a film, set in San Francisco. At one point the camera panned to the Golden gate bridge. Everyone knows that bridge. But he shouted "That's the golden Gate Bridge" and sat back all happy. Annoyed me a lot. he still does it. Haha, again, exactly what im talking about. Its the smugness which is equally as annoying. Rodders - you dont know her trust me! If you know something, about something which people may be interested in, then fantastic. It's just the repitition of things which is of no interest to anyone, just to prove that you know something that annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 When people constantly say things just let everyone else know that they know something... My mother in law is the worst perpetrator of this (probably why it annoys me so much). Anything that comes up on TV, she will attempt to embelish on, then sit there with a big shit eating grin on her face like she's achieved something. She will literally jump on any scenario which allows her to show off what she knows like a puppy on a squeeky toy. My mother in law does something similar, only she makes things up to make it look like she knows things, yet only succeeds in making herself look daft. eg. the actress who plays "Cilla" in Corrie is a famous Shakespearean theatre actress, and Nicholas Cage's father was a famous deep sea diver. Exactly this. Difficult to disprove, and calling her out will only make you look rude. Exactly! **** hell, I feel like we're soul mates now. I have to fight back the urge to contradict her "facts" as I know it'll just make the wife get the hump with me, and I'll feel bad afterwards, but bloody hell woman, just give it a rest. Oh and another thing she does if you're watching a quiz is pretend that she hasn't heard when somebody says an answer, then she shouts it out herself. My father in law had University Challenge on last week, and one of the rounds I got the answer "Dido and Aeneas". I said this, closely followed by the M-I-L, to which my wife responds "oh well done mum!" **** off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 9, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2011 My mate once watched a repeat of Question of Sport with us, but had seen the original screening but didn't tell us, and then tried to pass off as if he knew every answer. he had us fooled at first, but when he got the mystery guest but then couldn't tell us who it was (it was Lua Lua, which shows you how little he knew about sport if he didn't know who he was, which is why we were suspicious) we cottoned on.

They're an unbeatable force. I've tried sitting there quietly, pretending that Im not interested, but so unashamed is her showing off that she'll actually come at me with, "I hope you're impressed". What do you do with that? Allow them to stab at your dignity with a toothpick, or come back and encounter the wrath of your mrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 9, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2011 or come back and encounter the wrath of your mrs? :nod: Depends how you do it though. You don't have to do it in a manner that mortifies the aul' one. Just make the point subtly enough that she's more reluctant to blurt out complete bollocks in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 9, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2011 People who don't think the act of blowing their nose is disgusting. To me, it's similar to having a shit or throwing up, you wouldn't do that in front of people. It makes my stomach turn when someone's blowing their nose in front of me. Don't know why but it disgusts me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if she says "I hope you're impressed" say "I knew it but I wouldn't dare steal your thunder". Belittle or devalue her achievement That's as bad as 'going large'.
