Stupid little things that bug you

[Tuearts right boot]

In Herefordshire they still used the "pre-booked vehicles only" system they introduced at the start of the pandemic.

Here in Gwynedd we're also back in the dark ages.

Yes but it was like that before Covid.


Oh come on, you asked for that.

1) Tie your shoelaces then . If there is some religious or other reason why you would like them undone then fine, but in the mean time the guy (person) was just trying to be nice and stopping you breaking your nose, Even a young, experienced undone shoelace zealot can occasionally come unstuck and do a faceplant.
2) Again - trying to be nice. If you did the case into the rack correctly I fail to see how it could be intercepted as it is a simple one handed flick into the top bin. Struggle with that, someone might help, so they can board the plane.

Sadly, (some) people hate help until they need help. I'm currently in the category of helper, & try to be as discrete as possible, give it a few years and I hope people will do the same for me.

I think you miss my point, wilfully or not.

I appreciate help when it is needed, but there is possibly a fine line between offering assistance when it is clearly required and talking to someone as though they are senile or incapacitated.

I am sure the people were trying to help in their own way, but i don't like being talked down to when I am quite visibly in full possession of my faculties. I am just saying that it annoyed me at the time, although it gave my Mrs a good laugh at my expense.

But thank you for your attempt to adjust my moral compass in the right direction, as I am obviously an ungrateful pig of the first order - at least in your eyes, and you are a paragon of virtue.

Going into takeaways, cafes, Subways etc. and waiting in the queue for ages because they’ve had loads of Deliveroo/JustEat orders and are doing them while ignoring the queue that’s now nearly out of the door.

Adults not speaking how they were obviously taught how to speak thinking they are ‘cool’ by using shortened words i.e. fess instead of confess, diss instead of disrespect and the my biggest gripe currently is the Wickes advert where the bloke from Kirsty & Phil (they both grate) says “suffer from house barrasment” instead of embarrassment. I feel like screaming every time I hear it.

If you eat at Subway you deserve the shit you get.

Stickers that do not peel off new items.

When you buy a greeting card and actually ruin it trying to get the sticky price label off.

I’m yet to find a better butty than their Italian BMT with all the salad and chipotle sauce.

I’ll defend you if they try……… not that they’d take any notice of me and would probably ban me as well. ;-)


* I’m also joking mods, I need to laugh. :-) :-)

People who go to a Pub and buy a bottled bear! WTF, you can get it in your supermarket for a third of the price.

True story.
I was having a pint with the B I.L. in his Local and one of his "cool" mates bought a bottle of Erdinger, and drunk it from the bottle, what a Wanker. It's £1.90 at Asda!

I often have a few bottles of beer after I've stuffed my face with pints for ages. I've taken quite a shine to Aperol Spritz but there's no way I'd get one with my mates so bottles of Corona, Morreti or Madri it is!

And Asda don't let you stand around chatting with your mates drinking it. The pricks!

Did they have Erdinger on draught by the way? I had a couple of pints of that after a match in the Marble Arch waiting for Mrs MB to arrive and I was mashed!!

All these new ‘safety’ fuel (petrol) cans, they’re all stupid !

Personally I am thinking of following the example of the RMT and going on strike.

Got stuck behind a farm tractor on a long climb with a big car queue behind me. Finally passed him and pulled ahead but then had to pull over to allow an ambulance to flash past. CarS behind the ambulance kept me from rejoining traffic, then THE BLOODY TRACTOR WENT PASSED!¬

Any man over the age of 25, wearing leather straps/hoover belts/giant O rings around their wrists

Surely they must be aware of what they look like, especially the more these people age. Will they still be wearing them in their 50s/60s/70s?

You can get most pub drinks in the supermarket so why do you go to the pub. I sometimes buy bottles of Erdinger in a pub when all that’s on tap is shite lager or Doom Bar/Worthington’s etc. I use a glass though as you’re meant to with such beers

Aha but you have to have a ballot for that. Mind you I think it would be a 100% turn out and a unanimous vote so we’d be ok!

Not seen it on Draught but would love to try it.
