Stupid little things that bug you

When cricket is played at Headingley, commentators referring to the "football stand end".....no, it's rugby
Football us played at Elland Road

Andrew Castle

The guy has verbal diarrhoea and completely ruins every match he commentates on. Wittering on and on and on with utter bollocks, constantly.

One of the hopes for AI may be that we could filter out Andrew Castle.

Can't recall the female commentator's name, but watching the Diamond League athletics she never stopped talking. Droning on and on, often not relevant to what was actually happening on the track.
She clearly knows her subject but far too much needless background information.
Getting as irritating as the football stats' monologues.

erm,
what about people with dogs who live in countries where the temperature is regularly above 30degrees?
what about that, bb?
should we all keep the dogs in the house?


oh, and edit:
the plural of degree is degrees not degree's.

the spelling police are always watching

Their seems to be a problem over they're with there grammar.

There's a lot of reference to football in rugby because it's official title is "rugby football". Hull FC for example. It annoys me as well because it would be easier just to call it simply "rugby".

When people use the butter but put too much on their knife for what they need, then scrape the excess butter back into the tub, leaving the edge of the tub plastered in messy used butter…
Fucking annoying

Interestingly the word soccer originates from England.

Football was originally played in bare feet. It was called soccer when wealthier men started to play in their socks.

Or the word "soccer" was derived from the word "association".

People who hang the coats/hoodies up by the hood.
Does my head in and stretches the hood

Use the loop attached FFS

Hoodies that have no loop and just have a label, forcing you to hand them up by their hoods, which stretches them.

FFS, attach a loop so I don't end up having a weird lump on my hood!

Correct, it was derived to distinguish between the codes of Association Football (Soccer) and Rugby Football (Rugger)

All this three piece suit and top hat bollocks I've just seen on TV at some horse racing.

Not only do they look ridiculous but it's 29 degrees today.

Would the horses race a bit slower if people turned up to watch wearing shorts and t-shirt?

Compulsory in the Royal Enclosure. I had to wear one… before I got the train home from Ascot via Reading, I got changed into jeans and t shirt. No way was I arriving at Piccadilly at 10pm dressed like little Lord fucking Fontelroy

Ah so is it just compulsory to please our rich overlords? Even more reason to be annoyed by such nonsense.

Ok, I made just one up. Some rules changed over the years but all those I specified existed. There were others about bare shoulders etc that I don’t remember.

When a joke is so shite that you have to tell people it was a joke.

Hahaha!

I wish I could have seen the smug self-satisfied look on your face when you posted your 'look at how well educated I am' response to my post.
