Stupid little things that bug you

[Big Swifty]

That too. I noticed it watching Tony Robinson’s train journey programme. It must take up about ten minutes of each episode

Yes, he's very guilty of it. As is Portillo.

When I want to watch an arts/history programme on TV and it's presented by that bloody Janina Ramirez, clumping about in a Goth uniform, and smirking over her fat ugly face. She fills me with feelings of anger mixed with revulsion.

She may be a nice person and kind to children and animals, I dunno, but I just can't stand the sight of her.

Nothing personal, Janina, if you're reading this. Just a quirk of mine, I expect.

TV shows about houses that call rooms a space. Grand designs etc

Walk in the kitchen, this is a wonderful space. It's a kitchen

Walk in the dining room, what a lovely open space. It's a dining room.

Back garden. What a colourful space. It's a fucking back garden.

Cunts with notions eh

People that talk....in that exact same.....TV...toneofvoice.

James Martin being the perfect example.

Delivery drivers who don't ring the door bell, just dropna card vaguely near the house and run off.

Delivery drivers who ring the door bell 273 times in 3 seconds in the believe that the sound waves will generate enough vibration to make me somehow notice they rang the doorbell.

Ring it once and wait a minute while we answer it, no manners these days.

Have you tried adding those words to the tablets text shortcuts Karen? I did it for all my swear words on my iPhone eg. for the word ‘twat’ I put the shortcut as twat. That way my phone doesn’t change it to ‘twit’ etc.

Ooh I didn't know you could do that,i will give it a go

WhatsApp is bad for that. It has its own strange mind when it comes to changing words.

You can even read something to yourself before pressing send but when you read the sent message it’s not what you typed.

That last sentence would look like this on WhatsApp;
“You can even read slug track to yourself before passing send but when you reading in sheds message it’s nothing typed”

It does it all the time. Some of my group chats look like it’s a group app from a load of mentalists. Just a load of misspelt gibberish.

Makes you wonder who invented these things

Main road in our village has been resurfaced. Letters were sent out last week along with cones put down yesterday and loads of signs. There is one dumb fucker who still didn't get the memo, the only car along the entire road (it is a very long road) that has fucked an almost perfect example of consideration for others and being generally "on it" and aware. They are not dead or owt either because i saw the silly arse pull up yesterday with a few beers from the shop.

The lad is from a house that is shared a few doors down and tbh they seem a decent quiet set of chaps. They have a weights setup in the back garden and seem to use it but all of em look like they are auditioning to be the next Mr Muscle, i digress.

TL;DR Dumbass who lives near me incappable of following simple request from highways agency when every other bugger managed it.

I despise how these phrases have made it into English usage:

"off of" - just off is fine.
"real estate" - argh!
"can I get a.." - no, it's Please may I have.
"gotten" - fuck off.

Also, during the pandemic, we seem to have traded "Stay at home" for "Stay home", which fucks me off royally.

Related to this, programmes where the presenter says "I'll be doing so-and-so", then "I'll be doing.....".then "I'll be talking to a ...", "I'll be visiting a..." and so on, taking about five minutes to do so. Just get on with the programme, don't tell us endlessly what you'll be doing, just DO IT

On the telly, instead of saying "a round of applause" they say "give it up for" it gets my bloody goat.

I’ve got one of those hoses that’s like a coiled spring, which is a pain in the fucking arse to unknot and pisses me off.

I mentioned "off of" on here years ago and was told that it was perfectly fine because mick jagger said " hey hey you you get off of my cloud.
