Anal about spelling, grammar and just, generally, not trying to be a brain-dead American.

Worst Put Down I've Ever Had
My last job was as a Technical Helpdesk supervisor.
One Friday afternoon, when all the management were "at meetings", I was passed a call from an angry customer who wished to complain.
After a few minutes attempting to explain that as he hadn't paid for support for his products, he wasn't entitled for helpdesk support.
I'll add, at this juncture, that the gentleman concerned did not have a very good grasp of Englisgh and that it was obviously not his first language.
After another 10 minutes or so of trying to persuade me to send an engineer to his site, he lost his rag and called me a "shitting bastard".
It was all I could manage to tell him politely that I was going to hang up now, before pissing myself laughing!
I've never had the opportunity to top that insult, since!

Have not Of
Gah!
It boils my blood.
I can understand kids on text messages using slang - I don't like it, but thems thangs!
Why, oh, why, oh, why though can't the vasy majority of the English speaking world get into their tiny pea brained heads that the phrase is "I could have..." NOT "I could of"?
It makes me want to carve a large OF out of dried excrement and make them eat it.
...and breathe!

Not really a feud, I suppose!
I had an uncle who was a right cunt.
He's dead now!

Find it difficult to say Buttmunch without cracking up.
Also, is it just me, or do all the people bigging themselves up as the best at slanging matches sound like they've rehearsed all their material that they've plagiarised from their favourite comedy show?

One from my childhood
On the back wall of a CO-OP in Portsmouth, which was on my way to School, someone had daubed Tories are Best, which later was adapted to read Tories are Bestial. Rather prophetic I thought
