Little Things That Shouldn't Annoy You But Really Do

Having worked in 2 Supermarkets on nothing more than part-time rolls, I can safely say the most annoying things are; the snotty old bitches that come in and moan about the price of a bag of grapes and then say something along the lines of "Are these grapes really this expensive?! I bet they're much cheaper in Tesco's" Well fucking go there and buy them then.

The people who come in about 5 minutes before closing and come up to me and ask me to reduce stuff and when I tell them i'm not allowed to reduce them any more they seem to think i'm somehow trying to rip them off.

Same applies in one scenario when I worked in Waitrose and some other snotty old woman came in about 10 minutes before closing and couldn't find her Grandson's favourite ready meal on the shelf so asked me to check in the back, which is fine and I do, but there wasn't any stock in as it was the end of the day and all delivery's had been worked. Her comment in response to my apology for not having it in was "Well thats not good enough is it? Whats my Grandson going to eat now? That is his favourite tea" then proceeded to stand there and expect me to pluck a fucking ready meal out of thin air for her.
 
Twats who speed along our road, the council refuse to put speed bumps there. It's a rat run in the mornings and is also used for speeding. If a child or animal walks out infront of these twats, they're goners
 
Football commentators who are so good at producing banal, sitting-on the fence opinions that upon seeing a slowed-down replay of a clear offside, red card, dive or whatever are unable to categorically say it is the case but instead come out with something along the lines of 'He looks like he might possibly be offside there'....I'm not quite sure why this gets on my tits so much but there you go.
 
And while I'm at it:

The constant conspiracy theory threads upstairs

Beyonce and all the other American female singers who confuse being a good singer with going up and down an octave every fucking second - Kelly Clarkson at the Superbowl last night made me want to throw a brick at the tele

The sacrosanct rule that you can never hit a woman - well what if she's massive and she hits me for no good reason - chivalry is not a passport for the female species to go around acting like cunts as they know they are untouchable by decent folk

People being nosy about money

Airsealed packaging for electrical goods where you feel you should revise your will first before opening

Increasingly more people in the Northern Quarter during the day - it's like a parody of Shoreditch

People who lazily criticise and stereotype Daily Mail readers whilst not being quite as clever as they think they are to see the irony

People saying banter or 'good chat'

Being asked at Tesco's checkout if you'd like a bag for your £20+ shop - 'No love, I'll just balance it all on my head as the ancient Egyptians did'

People who spend lots of money on a games console to play every iteration of Fifa and Modern Warfare and NOTHING else

The lack of proper seasons in this country - I want hot summers and long snowy winters (not like this mini cold snap we're having)

People (usually girls) mincing around at Uni/work worrying 24/7 about work/course related shit which means nothing in the grander scheme of things

People going on about sports they don't follow when it's England's turn - (Henman Hill, the Olympics next year) - if you like tennis so much, f off and watch the Australian Open and I might tolerate your obession with Wimbledon as the home of tennis.

People are awful really.

Haa, the joys of working with the public.

I am with Peter Cook on this when he said " i have met the man in the street and he's a ****!".

One little thing that really does annoy me so much.
I'm a plumber and there's a fitting we use to connect a W.C.
It's called a multikwik (notice the K before the W).
Well over here they all insist on calling it a multiwik and it really
does annoy me
i've tried to tell them but even the merchants have
it on invoices as multiwick.
So any Irish plumbers out there....It's fuckin multiKwik.

You know what really annoys me is having to change them when they go. Heave ho all the way
 
I know it's a public street so there is no law against it, but cunts parking in front of my house. I have a very long memory and come the revolution, you're all on the fucking list you inconsiderate bastards.

Smokers - I don't give a fuck if you want a slow painful death, that's your choice, but constantly up and down every two fucking minutes, coming through that squeaky door in the working men's club whilst I'm trying to throw darts? Fuck off!

The Simpsons - like Steve Martin, you stopped being funny years ago.
