Pet Peeve #11

| by Lou | 8.35pm UK time |



Do you know what really gets on my goat? Filling in an online form for which there is a Country dropdown, and not being able to find the country in which I live.

I don't know about you, but when confronted with listing the country in which I live, I would go straight for United Kingdom.

If United Kingdom isn't there I look for Great Britain.

If Great Britain isn't there I look for Britain.

If Britain isn't there I look for England.

If England isn't there I get really angry and shout "fuck's sake!" and scroll through the list in minute detail, finally finding UK at which point I say "who the fuck wrote this list?!" and click on it and submit the form while muttering "seriously, what the fuck?"

  1. Bel, it was your cousin's Starship appeal that had it as UK! (This could now give you an opportunity to link to the appeal if you wanted to.)

  2. Hahahaa I feel your pain - personally and professionally! (nerd)

    And yes there is indeed a blog coming up about my 'cover girl' cousin :D
