Stupid little things that bug you

[laserblue]

Bin men who drop crap on the road and can't be arsed picking it up. We live at the end of a cul de sac and if it's even a little bit windy the shit they've dropped all the way down the road ends up in our drive.

That's a nuisance.

Have you by any chance been considering any remodelling in the front garden? If so this a great opportunity to have someone else pay for it.

Spot on Doc!. Changed the layout of some steps and had a much nicer (and expensive) solid hardwood gate. Driver's father paid cash for everything without quibble.
Police attended but took no further action. The father is a well known local businessman and a Worshipful Mason (just saying!).

Marvellous opportunism. I take it as mason he did the stone work. :-)

When you have been waiting ages for a bus, and finally you see one coming in the distance through the haze, like Omar Sharif's entrance scene in Lawrence of Arabia. The bus finally reaches you, and on the front it says "Not in Service".

Having to listen to some shite opera music (Tchaikovsky in the 6th symphony it defo was not) for 28 minutes whilst waiting to speak with an actual human being at HMRC for a self-assessment process that only took 2 minutes to complete once connected.

When replying to a question, the responder, explaining their answer, adds "Why do I say that? because..."
Never understood the need for a self-answering question.

People who,when making a statement,put the word "right" at the end,thus pre-supposing that you already agree with them.

It is but it is a fucking awful misuse of apostrophes.

You're right,no world tour for those bastard's then.

Mine "Plays the kitchen drums" (page 8)...Pissing around in the kitchen cupboards, moving pans about, slamming cups and stuff at silly o'clock...she sounds like Ringo Starr just making a brew...

Mine sounds like she's building a shed.

Actually it is what is nasty about Grandma that remains unsaid with the apostrophe that makes the name.

So very true!.
My house is very close to a junction and nearly all drivers turning right into my road cut the corner, sometimes in a very big way and there are regular near misses. One young lady was so far on the wrong side she almost collided with a car coming down the road, she avoided this by turning into my garden, destroying half the hedge, garden gate and several concrete posts.

A bit of good news, it certainly improved the look of the citroens front end :-)

Sleep with one eye open, never do more than 30 in a thirty zone and always go for a piss in pubs in a group. ;)

Nasty Grandma's Band would work if the band belonged to one nasty grandma.

My wife’s cats who do not use the scratching post but instead scratch the carpet immediately in front of it.

Gardeners World, Monty and the team moaning (like Chris Packham) that it's been too dry in UK and all our gardens are now suffering, well let me tell you something Monty, it's not too dry here pal, after 2 hot days it's returned to wet/cloudy weather, last weekend didn't stop raining at all. So Monty, if you want some rain here's an idea, move north you git!
