minor things that make you fume

People using the extension '-phobe' to describe someone who dislikes or hates something, eg homophobe, technophobe, islamophobe etc. If you are phobic about something, you have an (often) irrational, yet intense fear, of it. Someone claustrophobic doesn't just consciously hate confined spaces, they are terrified of them. When someone is considered to have a grudge against gays, they are immediately labelled 'homophobic'. If they truly were homophobic, they would be afraid of gay people, and wouldn't be able to help it. They wouldn't beat them up or abuse them, they'd stay away. Similarly, anyone who doesn't want the latest smartphone or Apple gadget is a 'technophobe'. No - not unless they're hiding in the next room scared of the new telly, they're not. This seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly 'phobe' is being stuck on the end of anything someone doesn't like. Stop it. Stop it now. And no, I'm NOT 'phobophobic'... :D
 

In a busy farm shop, if you`re in front of me in the queue for the butchers counter, don`t wait 10 mins to get served and then have no idea what you want. The free samples on the counter are for ALL customers, not a free breakfast solely for your unruly children. Don`t let said children career round the shop without any attempt at parental control. When you finally calm them down don`t advertise to all and sundry the fact you`ve given them ridiculous rhyming names by shouting "Tyler! Skyler! Come to Mummy!". If by some weird twist of fate you`re reading this you know who you are, you in your ethnic poncho and your husband with his bushy hipster beard and ridiculous tattoos.

By any chance, did you today go to a farm shop ?
