Stupid little things that bug you

Also on football chants again…

Chants where the originators have made it up because their club/player/manager’s name rhymes with the lyrics of the song, then another set of fans pinch the song for their club/player/manager but the name doesn’t rhyme with the lyrics.

Been back pain free for about 2 yrs then this morning but on my pants. One big shooting pain across my lower back. Now in pain and can hardly move.

Had same yesterday mate. Kneeling down to tie shoelaces and it just seized up. Very painful since. Proper **** of a thing.

Didn't want to start a new thread so here will do.

Calling a man “bald” can now legally count as sexual harassment in the UK — yes, you read that right.

A recent employment tribunal ruled that insulting a man over his baldness is no different from making comments about a woman’s body. It started with a factory worker who said his supervisor mocked his hair loss… and the court agreed it crossed the line.

The decision has now set a nationwide precedent, putting appearance-based insults — including bald jokes — in the same category as sexual harassment.

UK workplace culture just changed in a big way.

Fucking right as well. Only a **** would call a woman "fatty" in a workplace and should be disciplined if they did. Obesity is a life choice though, baldness is not. How about people try to not comment on the appearance of others and mind their own fucking business?

As it should be.

Where does mocking or abusing someone for their appearance go from being a laugh to not being acceptable?

Why should poking fun at someone's baldness be considered any different than, for example, saying a female colleague has small boobs? Both are unnecessary in workplace culture and can cause distress to the individuals involved.

Do your job. Get along with your colleagues. Have a laugh. But don't be a **** about it.

A long time ago when I worked in an office, we went through a phase of whenever a female member of staff walked through, we called out random numbers.
These numbers referred to the number of pints of beer you would need to spend the night with said lady.
Different times.
Happy days

How every piece of news is BREAKING, usually followed up by a declaration that the media outlet in question "understands".

Everybody who complains about it is perfectly justified, because they obviously aren't a close enough friend to have been subjected to the jibe/insult in the first place.

What sort of idiot insults somebody outside their circle - to their face - then is offended when they are taken to task for it? Nobody is suggesting that you can't call your mate a FOC, just use common sense.

People who put the treadmill on an incline then hold on to it and lean back so that they're still at 90° to the base

People who wear hoodies at the gym with the hood up , its not a cool look and you're clearly not working hard enough

Seems to be a habit at my gym, people who take their trainers off and do their workout in just their socks or, even worse, bare feet, with their trainers just next to them looking a bit sad.

Firstly, this is a public place. Don't be disgusting. Secondly, why? Do these people take off their shoes at work because it helps them spreadsheet better?

Anyone who uses a shortened version of a normal word in the hope it makes them sound a good mix of both trendy and amusing.

Bored of hearing people talking about their "inspo" (inspiration for anyone at the back who isnt keeping up). My toes curled today when I heard someone say "profesh" because saying "professional" just wasn't 2025 enough.

B and m shopping trolleys only take pound coins.
People don't read the signs put up therefore use a token and the trolleys get jammed leaving you searching for a trolley that's not jammed up.

I feel the same about clichés where people only say the start or part of the cliché and not the full thing:

‘An Apple a day…’
‘Every cloud…’
‘Don’t judge a book…’
‘Pot, kettle’

People in the media and celebrities starting sentences with "I think".

"I think yesterday was Wednesday "
"I think I had a shit in the morning"

Fine if the action was a few years ago , but they can't recall what happened yesterday.

Beats the heck out of our Yank stand-bys of;
So, ummm, and ya know.

It's all over the bloody place. "Tech" because technology is too difficult. "Pharma" because the thick twunts can't say or spell pharmaceutical. And it's all over the bloody media not just people talking in shorthand.
