TINY THINGS I HATE - MY DAD'S ABSOLUTE, UNRELENTING, NON-NEGOTIABLE INSISTENCE THAT I "TUCK IN."

I don't take kindly to being over-encouraged to "tuck in."

MY DAD: There you go kid. Tuck in!

ME: Thanks.

MY DAD: Go on my son. Just dig in!

ME: Yep, will do.

MY DAD: We don't stand around on ceremony in this house. Eat!

ME: Uh-huh.

MY DAD: There's no point just sitting there looking at it!

ME: Well I wasn't, so.

MY DAD: Go on kiddo. Really get amongst it!

ME: OK, got it.

MY DAD: Grab a knife, grab a fork and just…

ME: DAD I'VE ALREADY STARTED EATING.

    LONG SILENCE

ME: Sorry for shouting.
