Stupid little things that bug you

I'm getting a mental image in my head....

View attachment 126160

I've a mate who bought a nail gun and did the sensible thing, he practised on an old piece of wood before doing the real job.

He nailed the wood onto the lid of the chest freezer he was using as a work bench.

Contestants on quiz shows like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"...

They get asked a question, They know the answer, Yet they go through the other three incorrect answers as to why they are incorrect...

Just answer the fucking question and get on with it.

Contestants on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" who are between two answers. Keep it to yourself because you can guarantee that when you go 50/50, those two will be the ones the computer "randomly" leaves up on the screen.

I bet he's a regular on the match threads. Has to be!

Job application forms.

I had a form from someone applying for a job where I work. I'm doing the interview etc, I was told this person is really keen to work here by his mate who works here.

It was the worst application form I have seen in over 30 years of doing interviews. Absolutely shocking.

A young lad came into my office, for a job interview, slapping chewing gum and smoking.
I told him to leave and return in 5 minutes with an appropriate manner. He never did.

Why the fuck would you sweep it into a corner?

Why the fuck would you sweep it into a corner?

Because there is obviously no rug nearby !

Edit. I forgot to mention, he nailed the freezer lid down!

It should be Team GB & Northern Ireland & British Crown Dependencies.

I'd prefer all the home nations separate so we could have more athletes in it.

I spend a considerable amount in various pubs, and it has never once occurred to me in all that time to check where the sockets are.

I believe that used to be the case, but most dependencies seem to have set up sport on their own. When Cavendish won an Olympic medal in cycling, which country was he representing?

I am in agreement with you Mr Ball and I would go one step further, I have never had to charge my phone in a pub. I suppose most pubs have plugs for the cleaners but the ones I go in they just use a mop and bucket.

GB & NI. He represented IoM at the Commonwealth.

British Overseas Territories athletes are more complicated. British Virgin Islands do compete at the Olympics as BVI but Gibraltar are blocked by Spain (& Rodri) and some others such as Turks & Caicos just choose to be part of Team GB.

I'm laughing here but....we've all done something similar. I have a rip saw and was cutting a 8 x 4 sheet of flooring, plus a Black and Decker work mate, straight through, only realised when the whole lot collapsed.

Just pressed 'like' i mean the message, not the Kippax bogs, some weirdo's say they had character, they smelled of capstan full strength, stale bitter and.... piss obviously.
