Stupid little things that bug you

[KS55]

England flags on cars. I was going to create a thread about it, but that’s a tad drastic. It fits on here just perfectly.

Wankers the lot of them.

Racists, some say.

“You should see the things I see” GB. Only Tront can do that.

It's a George Formby song.

Certain people who think patriotism consists of flying a St George flag made in China, driving a foreign made car and singing the National Anthem. Whereas paying their full taxes and obeying the law is another matter.

The stringy bits on the side of the banana when you peel it, so irritating

The sainted David Attenborough, on TV a few years ago, mentioned that monkeys always bananas from the "wrong "end (i.e. not the joined up end). He added that by doing this, you avoid the stringy bits.
I don't like bananas so never trued his advice.

I wouldn't usually question Saint Dave but....I vaguely recall trying this year's ago and it didn't work. Maybe I was peeling it clockwise instead of anti ?

Football managers who stand stony-faced and motionless when their team scores an important/good goal and everyone else around them is going bonkers.

Example - Watching the Scotland game and when they go 1-0 up, the Scottish players/fans are going crazy, and rightly so. Steve Clarke stands there as if nothing has happened, not even a hint of emotion.

Is it a "I'm too cool to get a little excited" thing, part of the act of being manager that you should keep a calm head, or are people like this just miserable bastards? I've seen plenty do it.

Stuart Pearce would have got excited had we scored a goal, but no luck there.
I love Pep on the touchline, so bonkers.

Depends which side of the equator you're on.

Happy to help ;)

Different wording but there you go.
