This is one of my pet hates when someone puts this in an email

'have you reached out' (no my arms are by my side )

When people say someone is "poorly" as in sick, I don't know why it annoys me so much

I say this. Sick makes me think...sick. As in puke. So other kinds of poorly are poorly instead of sick.

Was in a hospital a few weeks back in the lift and their 'ground floor' was 1 floor above the actual ground floor. So ground on the lift panel was actually the 1st floor. Had me a little confused.

You don't have to apologize for not understanding words properly dear

Umm, don't want to offend anyone, but, people who end sentences with an upward inflection, like they are asking a question.

Only British people though, as it is the normal way Australians talk.

That guy Andy on the Let's Talk FPL videos does it all the time. Also someone on a podcast I occasionally listen to.

Grown adults who call their stomach their “tummy”…

"I've got a headache"

I suppose the joggers have become a minor annoyance now.

Cyclists two abreast

I think this is what people have been doing to me to get me to go along with their wishes

Something clicked just now reading that.

Now I kind of feel I have to start doing this also to get my own way?!

I do that I try not to as I have been told before that its annoying. Seems one of my autopilot things though that takes time to change

ending on an upward inflection means you are either asking a question or not finished talking yet. The same rules actually apply naturally in music. A music passage never ends on a high note, it always resolves to the low root
