Stupid little things that bug you

[Barcon]

Give us more of a clue

Ploughs?

Why doesn't snow rhyme with plow?

And why doesn't any of plough, cough, dough and tough rhyme with each other.

Great questions mate.
I’ll get back to you. I have to go out and shovel the car out so I can go and attempt to pick up my passport for the 4th day in a row from the post office.

Supermarkets selling yesterday’s bread at today’s price. Bloody disgusting is that and should put a stop to it. If the bread that has been delivered on the day, hasn’t been sold, it should be reduced in price, the next day.

Update..........

No passport.

They have until April 3rd and then I'll have to swim to Cuba.

Snow plows going past my house all night long and waking me up.
Snow plows breaking my tree because they don't drop their blade in time.
Snow plows leaving a mountain of snow behind the cars for me to shovel because they don't raise their blade..
Snow plows.

Pain in the ass, when they come by late and leave a fresh berm in your newly cleaned out driveway

Lopsided number plates. How hard is it to fit one straight.

For some reason I get bothered with cars, particularly Alfa Romeo's that have the number plate to one side rather than central. I must be a touch of OCD or something.

Also what is this "No worries" response when I say thankyou for a service provided. Who's worried?

Can't believe every BBC News buliten contains an article on it. It's not News, just BBC self publicity.

Double barrelled first names , another thing imported from the yanks

Particularly when you are expected to put a - in between them Kaz. The other one is kids given first names eg Connor, that could be its Surname. The amount of time through life that persons going to get asked and what’s your first name Mr Connor.

Talking number plates I used to have a 1 , followed by my initials plate on my scooter. When the garage made the plate up for me and put it on the scooter the 1 had a tiny crack in it and I could see the yellow background behind it very close up. I never did like it after that on the basis, I should have complained at the time and asked them to do it again. I ended up flogging it.
