British Expats - Pet Peeves?

When I see that particular smiley face, I always assume the person is not just passive aggressive but obnoxiously so.

By contrast, when I see this one, :D, I assume the person is a complete and utter moron.

Both are infinitely better than thumbsdown and frown. That thumbsup with the sunglasses is annoying as shite, too.

and this is why I don't have a fish on the back of my car, not my style any way. Personally, it's personal, so no need to advertise, but again each to their own. Also, however someone wants to support me in a tough situation, I'll take their positive thoughts, best wishes or their prayers because that way I know that THEY are sincere.

I think there should be a Department of Anal Heads but there's no building on Earth large enough to hold them all.

Actually, I would posit that it is the non-believers who are the sincere ones, as they will not coddle someone with things that don't work, nor will they be acting due to the promise of some otherworldy reward.

They will help a person find solutions that work, rather than esoteric ones or buzzwords so they can feel that they've 'done their part'. Those were the kinds of things I was referring to, I see and hear it all the time.

Hmm I like that one, as I assume it can only be used ironically. It would be too bloody stupid otherwise.
