So so true. These are the spawn that encourage people to use ad blockers and spoil it for every one.

And people who post really bad, blurry pictures on social network sites, especially baby ones. I'm thinking so that's what the poor sod will be looking at when he's grown up.

Mate of mine posted one of his dog the other day with messy bedroom in background including bog roll on his bed side table.

Video clips on the internet that have a 29 second advert in front which is usually longer than the clip itself. I don't have that much time to wait. I can just about cope with 4 seconds on some youtube clips.

Yeah, I'm starting to see those. I just give up, and they will too once they see the viewing figures.

+1 at least you have only to watch 4 or 5 seconds before being able to skip.

Signs saying " the coffee machine engineer has been called"
Is repairman a rude word these days?
If people stopped using the word engineer inappropriately I wouldn't need to call myself a consultant :S

Everyone has a title above their station. You don’t have “shop assistants” now. They are “colleagues” or similar.

To paraphrase what someone posted on Twitter today - I’m an Import and Export* executive.


*In and out of Photoshop.....

There are a few more here.

I have to say, VISION Clearance Engineer sounds hilarious.
Sad though because it devalues the worth of actual engineers.

I think it went back to the time that they stopped giving pay increases and gave fancy titles instead started the rot. It also devalues the titles of consultants, with in-store retail consultants (shop assistants) everywhere.

IT support staff who call themselves analysts.

anal-ysts

*giggles*

Everything has been given a language uplift.

When I started off at the DHSS, we referred to people who claimed benefits as “caimans”. That was later changed to “customer”. No idea why - I expect the notion was that if “customer” was used, somehow everything would be nicer. The train companies also sue “customer” now instead of “passenger”.

There's that old saying only IT staff and drug dealers call their clients users
