I'd probably get more annoyed if someone used such a pretentious term as "lavatory" more than I would if they used some antiquated term like "I'm going to go powder my nose".


Receipt comes after payment though. I've mostly heard "bill". It works in america and in europe equally well.

Its a bill. A bill of sale is issued for goods and services to breakdown how much money is being charged and for what. You would pay a bill with a cheque. I don't understand why restaurants and bars would be any exception

does it also bother you when paper currency is referred to as a bill (e.g. dollar bill) ?

I'll also include all sayings from popular shows like game of thrones. Going around saying "valar morghulis" or "what is dead may never die" or "the night is dark and full of terrors" at work makes you look like a moron.

The same goes for people who quote doctor who and use britishisms in real life just because they heard david tennant say it.

I have never heard anybody do this poo poo, even among friends nerdier than I. You keep bad company.

E: I still don't think that's as bad as saying internet-isms in real life, but I also don't watch or read GoT garbage so I'd prolly just assume anybody that said those things plays too much D&D or something.

This one all depends on culture, IMO. Like hearing a Brit say it doesn't bother me in the least. But a fellow American doing it sounds weird as gently caress.

It's inherent to the job. When I was in grad school there was an office that was obsessed with modded nerf guns and they would shoot you if you ever had the misfortune to have to go ask one of them for something. Also those koosh ball things.

I use it when someone says something I just don't know how to respond to. Like "my wife just left me" or "i'm getting fired". Pretty much anything you say in those situations is going to come off bad so it's best to go with the least offensive thing to say.

Pretty good usually.

"Hey, where's your mom?"
"She's over to John's"

and

"When I was pregnant for Beth, I ..." because Beth is the child and the statement does not make sense to me.

People who constantly use the other persons name on the phone also irritate me. Who else are you talking to?

Also people's verbal ticks: "you know," "so anyways," "but anyhow" just hang up the phone grandma. Jfc.

Not to be rude, but please read the thread before adding another version. If you would have done so, you would have known you've posted a serious downgrade.
I am anything but a coxcomb, I am not a professional and I always welcome upgrades over my versions. But if upgrading it should be a real upgrade and this clearly isn't.

The version I posted here was mastered adequately. Now you added a version that's basically the same as the original with supposedly some repaired humor, but still pretty unreadable as it has still one channel phase reversed and poor EQ'ing. It can't be considered being an upgrade in my opinion, especially not to the version provided in this thread.

Again I don't want to be rude. Like everyone, I appreciate the effort and often hard work that's needed to make funny posts. But I think it's basically not appropriate to present something as an upgrade without having read what you're upgrading.

cheers
