Stupid little things that bug you

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Had to get the bus to work the last two mornings because my car is fucked...

Anyway, Sat on the bus both mornings and pulling up to a stop, Woman gets on and starts going through her bag looking for money...Both mornings she done it! Why not have the fucking money ready instead of searching for it when the bus arrives!! She was probably standing their 5 or 10 minuted waiting for the fucking bus and could of being done it then...Fucking idiot.

People still use cash on the bus?!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Same at supermarket tills.
You’ve loaded your stuff on conveyor and spent 5 minutes doing nowt but shuffle forward… get your bags and payment ready!

additional annoyance points, for same people going through their set of discount coupons, checking, at that point, rather than in the 5 minutes before!

Haha the amount of times that happens too! I can never understand people not being ready especially stood their waiting knowing they will need the stuff!

I was at a NT property this weekend, nice weather fancied ice cream from its little cafe.

big sign - please pay by card.

young grandmother, with a child, wealthy enough looking, had handed over a £10 , possibly £20 for something that cost £1.85

poor minimum wage server, was counting out many 5p’s to give her change.

I was next, and had my card out and ready, rueful comment ‘ive got my card’, raised a weary smile from the server.

whyyyyy!

Poor grammar when watching tv news.

They have been to university now working on tv news yet dont know their grammar.

' he done the crime ....." its "he did the crime."..

I'm thick didnt get any English qualifications but understand grammar better lol.

You want to be married to an English teacher. She is constantly pointing out incorrect grammar, spellings etc. Usually on the BBC or by fellow teachers.

I now drive buses for a living and we have posters up everywhere asking people use correct change whenever possible. Yesterday the 1st 3 people to get on tried to pay for fares of less than £2.00 with £20 notes. Now try to explain to them that we only carry £30 worth of change in our float.

Phrases such as Kane scores that, or Hart saves that. Try putting the word would in its correct place.

Bus windows that wont shut, yes it's a thing now. Bus windows have stickers on them telling passengers that the windows wont shut for their safety.

A bit chilly yesterday was on the bus for an hour and couldn't wait to get off.

Have you noticed, it's always the fresh air fanatics who fling the windows open without consulting other passengers?

 

[DiscoSteve]

Stupid Radio Traffic and Travel presenters who always insist on saying "there's a car/lorry at the side of the road having a tyre changed!" No they're not having a tyre changed at all!!!!! Its the wheel they're having changed!

Have you ever seen ANYONE ever try to change a tyre on a vehicle when the wheel is still on it? No, of course not!

Just stupid, stupid, stupid!

F**king stop it morons!!!!

(....and relax....)

Isn't it colder outside the bus though?

 

[Daz-Simp]

Yes, but that's like the phenomenon of someone saying the "water's really warm once you get in" and yet it's inevitably freezing your nads off when you try to get in.

The differential in temperature with the draft makes it seem colder than just being immersed at a single temperature.

Wind chill mate, as soon as the bus gets a lick on the teeth start chattering.

People standing there and holding one door open for me when they are double doors and I can just go through the other one. Am I still supposed to thank you? Do I ignore 50% of the doorage so that your act of courteousness doesn't go to waste? Maybe I'll appreciate the gesture more if I make it to old age but, for now, it's more of an inconvenience for both parties.

I've lost so much weight over the last six weeks that I could probably slither under the fucking thing.

Why are people now sending emails at work or in business dealings and starting it with e.g. “Hey John”. What’s wrong with “Hi ..” or “Hello ..”?

 

[jimharri]

People that use this ; fucking thing. And I'm not naming any names; Jim

Even worse; when you leave a space between the last word and the semicolon. Very chavvy behaviour ; in my opinion!
