Stupid little things that bug you

Nick-names that have passed their sell-by. Like "jokes", they age quickly and become a tedious waste of band-width/breath. Excruciating puns, so prominent in the tabloid msm, are neither witty nor amusing, but have a sinister agenda hiding in the puerile banners/headlines. It's only "a little thing" compared to their replacement, outright lies, which are not "little things" by any measure, no matter how they are spun, denied, ignored.

People who, in hot weather, drive their cars with the 'music' volume turned up waaay too loud, inflicting their tastes on anyone in the vicinity.
C*nts!

My house is close to a busy road junction. Often cars are waiting a minute or longer to join the main road. I can hear the boom, boom of the base from my back garden. Attention seekers or just morons?

Probably a mixture of both with the biggest proportion being attention seekers.
I often wonder if the performing rights society could sue for unauthorised public broadcasting.

Imperfections, scratches, marks, blemishes, lack of symmetry, alignment and crooked pictures to name but a few. If I worked in quality control there would be no deliveries travelling outbound until the company sorted out their shit.

The other day I was thinking about getting a new dash cam hard wired as my own is messy but my brain went into overload about the young student-esque nerds frequenting Halfords fitting dept's who've "been on a course" so are suitable qualified to rip of your headlining and unclip your side panels and tinker around with your fuse box and wires.

So I have kept my own dash cam which works perfect well for £17 but as mentioned is unsightly with all the messy wiring to the cigar lighter (see above lack of symmetry and crookedness and messy-ness).

So we used bluetack for a tidy up and stuck it round the dashboard, but it's blue and the dashboard is dark grey which stopped me driving safe as I couldnt help but continually look at my non colour matched bodge job. So after much consternation I managed to source a packet of Grey-Tack from the Bostick boys which has now disquised the problem splendidly. Hoozah!

There’s a name for that complaint.
 
When the Press and Social Media make a big fuss about a Royal doing something a Commoner normally does on a daily basis such as going in a shop. They are trying to say hey look! , they are just like the rest of us really. Nope, they are not, I can never recall needing a Butler to putting my tooth paste on to my tooth brush to save me the effort.
