Stupid little things that bug you

[crooky]

People buying things up at charity shops, car boots etc to sell on for a massive profit.

Just seems like pure greed to me. When someone less well off might genuinely need it or put it to better use.

Weetabix! Impossible to open the plastic wrapping without ripping it to shreds, why can't it be easy like Shredded Wheat?

Eating Weetabix is like chewing on MDF. Horrible stuff.

No. My last gripe in this thread was about twats bringing water bottles the size of a beer barrel to company meetings.

@Bill Walker
At a conference today at work (it’s been a great week for buffets!) and amongst the many pens I’ve picked up and company fridge magnets etc was this water bottle ha ha

I think it's rare that there is anything with massive profit in it. Charity shops are quite savvy about the value of the stock they get in nowadays and you can tell they have done a check of what is online as they have often tracked the price of Ebay or CEX.

Some daft occasions where they think they can get more than the going rate.

Saw a Blu ray boxset in a charity shop with a sticker featuring Maggie Smith, just after she had died. £10. Cex price for same boxset £4.

When I was kid (during the Roman Occupation), my mother would sometimes include in my lunch box, two Weetabix biscuits, buttered (margarine really), and topped with jam.

Certain Premier league players (not name shaming Saka) who win a tackle or a throw in then immediately turn to the crowd and wave their arms about for adulation.
it's turned more into X Factor than football these days.

Even worse is the fans who then respond standing up and cheering/roaring wildly.

Sit down you dicks and save it for a goal

And those who go high 5ing when they've won a corner or a goalie doing what he gets paid for.

When your watching Youtube and go to the toilet.
Even though it wasn’t due when you left, they have a nice 20-30 second advert waiting for you when you get back.

Like you just havent watched 7 in the last 15 minutes.

Fuckers!
