Ingratitude.
Someone buzzed my intercom earlier. She had the wrong address. Then she got arsey with me, as if it was my fault, even though she'd inconvenienced me. It just so happened that I recognised the place she was talking about and gave her precise directions. She didn't even have the courtesy to say thank you, just went off in a huff.
What is wrong with some people?

Gareth Southgate should ban the ‘Three Lions’ song during future tournaments! That’s according to Graeme Souness. Is there an arrogance to the song which gives an advantage to the opposition? Or is it just a bit of fun that unites a nation? @talkSPORT from 10

Re: Little things that irritate you
It means to dig your heels in, or be more committed or something. It's from poker or blackjack, when you double the bet you've put down when you're feeling bullish about your hand.
I think the phrase itself is quite useful when the chips are down, but it seems to be used solely by corporate/political/meeja droids.

Re: Little things that irritate you
It’s a term used in Blackjack or Pontoon as we know it over here. It means to go for it, even though thins might be risky. What really annoys me is that when you hear some posh BBC reporter saying it, you just know he or she is doing it to sound hip. f*** off you pathetic arse and speak English!!

I just saw a woman in a café order a glass of red wine with her spaghetti, and then proceed to pour coca cola into the wine. :shock:
