Stupid little things that bug you

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Getting a speeding ticket can be quite frustrating

As soon as yer half open the letter yer know!

Motion sickness. Nothing particularly weird about it. If your eyes and inner ear are out of sync then you can dizzy and become sick.

Obviously it's not as pronounced on the train as on other forms of transport but does anyone prefer travelling in the opposite direction they are facing?

tbf if you're travelling backward on a plane, motion sickness is the least of your worries

It’s horrible, it really is. My sister who has MS used to suffer terribly from it.

Going to sound like a proper mard here - but people singing in the car when a good song comes on.
9 times out of 10 they're bad a singing. They've made the decision to sing along as they'r enjoying it but when you think about it what they're doing is stopping everyone else from enjoying it just so they can have a sing song. It means they're now the only one in the car benefiting from it. Selfish. It's one of those things though where if ask them to stop you're seen as a proper killjoy even though they've opted to ruin your experience first.
Similar to when people whistle along to songs. Mate STFU and let everyone else hear it.

Hahaha I knew I would get a "miserable sod" or something of that nature. I wish it didn't bug me but it does!

The instructions are so minuscule I genuinely cannot read them and I’m wearing glasses.

TV shows like Bangers & Cash. It's basically one of those "Do up an old wreck of a car, make it look good as new and sell it at auction" repetitive rubbish. As of we don't have enough of those shows already.

Utterly ridiculous and they're like repeats from like 2015 on some cheap channel like "Yesterday" watched by like 1,000 people.

Charity ads at this time of years, some showing some really horrible scenes...send £29.17 and we'll make sure the right people get full benefit.


Of to the Mercedes dealership we go !!

As a guitarist, I can say the same about people who name their guitars

Its a bit of wood with some strings on it.

Had the 'murican football on in the background for a few minutes earlier. But I've taken my medication, and I'm fine again now. Anyway; what is it with the septics pronouncing "route" as "rout"? Yes; it's trivial, but it annoys me. And the weird thing is, they know the correct way to pronounce it.....

And them pronouncing Jaguar as Jag-wire.

Ohhhh and the fucking worst one that infuriates me.....Americans using "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" when they clearly mean the second one. Over 300m in that country and nobody has realised their version means the exact opposite of what they want to say.

I'm not anti-american, nor am I conservative or even pedantic when it comes to language, but I draw the line at saying one thing that means that complete opposite of what you're trying to say.

While I'm at it, people saying they've done a 360⁰ when they mean 180⁰ when they're speaking metaphorically about a major change they have made, not realising that 360⁰ means you're back in the same position.

Dont fret about it

Two countries divided by a common language.

By the way; I think they say "Jag-war", not "Jag-wire"!
