Stupid little things that bug you

[Deleted member 77198]

Well I’ve ordered a permanent marker to mark it with my name and address this time. I just used an ordinary pen before so it had faded away.
As I have assisted delivery for the larger ordinary bins our bin men are usually ok but I think they’ve got some new ones recently as every other week (the blue week) they leave the back gate wide open!
I buy them biscuits and chocolates at Christmas as well!! :-) :-)

Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong!

You can buy stickers with your house number online which stands out better than marker pen.

I had one on the first one that got pinched. It also had butterfly stickers on it. (You can stop laughing at the back. Butterflies are my ‘thing’) :-)

Unthinking selfish bastards who park right on junctions forcing drivers turning right to go into the turn blind on the wrong side of the road.

Here's the culprit Eccles.

People referring to vinyl records as "vinyls".

They're vinyl records...always have been, always will be.

I had over 50 vinyl records at one time.
I gave a few to mates and that took me down to about 40.
Then I sold some to bring me down to 20 ish.
The rest are going to go at car boot sales.
Yes folks - it's the vinyl countdown...

Shop assistants who no longer see fit to engage with you, as they are chatting to other members of staff on a headset.
What the fuck is that about?
I've bought stuff in my local co op without actually speaking to the person serving me.
It's not launch control at nasa, it's a shop.

Drivers who are turning left suddenly swing to the right into the middle of the road then go left, just slow down and manoeuvre correctly.

Drivers who don't indicate.

Too many drivers also don't know how to use a roundabout, switching lane part way round.

Drivers who can't follow the marked lanes on large roundabouts, usually at motorway or major road intersections.

Satnavs that say "at the roundabout" which is totally unnecessary as I already know that I'm coming up to a roundabout!
This loses you several seconds of time in which to position your vehicle on the road.
This time matters when you are on an unfamiliar and busy road.

Vaginal dryness, laxatives with graphic details and those pissy knickers that women wear....WHILE I'M HAVING MY TEA. Thanks Advertising Standards.

Last week mine told me to continue straight at a roundabout when there was only a left or right option. Naturally I chose the wrong option.

Also those that tell you to turn half right/left when it's either a normal 90 degree turn or just a bend in the road.

Sliced loaves with an odd number of slices. If I have a sandwich or make toast I usually have two slices of bread, occasionally four, but never
one or three. What the fuck are you supposed to do with one slice of bread when you get to the end of the loaf?

Post it to......Sir Marcus of Withington but for better publicity Wythenshawe.
The Swamp.
Old Trafford

He collects odd slices of bread and when he has 10 he makes fish finger butties that feed all of Manchester.


Honest.

Erm, fold it in half? Best jam butties made that way.

1st November, and I've just seen a Christmas advert on the TV

 

[Tuearts right boot]

and then eat it from the crust inwards so no butter or jam can dribble down your chin, it's all trapped in the fold until that final lunge............ Lurpac butter and Robertson jam mind...

The loaves that are made for toasting have an even number.
I usually get an ordinary sliced loaf, mind you.
