Stupid little things that bug you

People who use the speaker phone function in a public place, and hold their phone at 90° to their gobs. In effect, they're having a conversation that everyone nearby can hear. We're not interested in your banal conversation, thank you very much.

Have you tried whistling, it works for me.

I wonder if anyone could find the original Clapometer?

In a VD clinic.

Why do I get the song "Come on Siddy" in my head every time I watch secrets of the london underground?

Rice from supermarkets.
The ones where you snip the corner of the pack then stand the pack upright in the microwave. - And inevitably the pack is too tall and it catches on the top and falls over while cooking.
The answer is to cut off more of the pack but that just means the rice dries out. WTFIGO?

Asda do a tray for about £1.50 which is usually fine. Rice is one of the few things I don’t cook myself.

Fish and chip shops that sell 'fish' without specifying the species. It always makes me think they are selling cheap shit.

Pretentious fish and chip shops that sell chips with the skin on. Lazy twats, can't even be arsed to peel potatoes.

There was a case, a year or two back, where a chip shop owner was fined for selling some othwhite fish as cod.
Following a complaint by a member of the public (no idea how or why that came about), a Trading Standards Officer specifically ordered "Cod & Chips" and not simply "Fish & Chips". He had the fish analysed and subsequently took the proprietor to court.

He knew there was something fishy going on.

It's for lazy twats and tastes awful. Only takes 10min to cook proper rice.

In defence of the microwavable rice packets - they're good for work lunches. If you take some leftover chilli or whatever to work for lunch you can't exactly make fresh rice in an office microwave.

The Aldi flavoured microwave rice packets are pretty good.

Caught them hook, line and sinker after reeling them in through a thorough investigation.

I can't believe the chippy took the bait.

Scale it down a bit mate...we don't know the net result of it is yet.

All sounds a bit fishy to me.
