Stupid little things that bug you

Re: the knobheads that walk around like zombies on their phones. I love it when they are crossing the street and are completely oblivious to the fact that if it wasn't for me paying attention, they'd be dead.
I like to alert them to the fact by slipping my truck into neutral and stomping on the accelerator.
You can sometimes even get to see the colour drain from their face.

Self checkouts that have audio instructions. I AM DEAF YOU CUNTS.

The Tesco self checkout announcement "Don't forget to scan your Clubcard" in a very camp male voice.

White blokes with dreadlocks.

Contrary to popular opinion dreadlocks have been common amongst Europeans since time immemorial. So, if someone accuses a white man of cultural appropriation for wearing them, they are just demonstrating their own ignorance. The idea that locks are of Caribbean origin is false. See ”nitty gritty”.

Working in an electrical retail background for over 20 years people who call vacuum cleaners Hoovers.

It winds me up something rotten.

Unless you are actually buying a Hoover vacuum cleaner they should never be referred as Hoovers

Our mix-and-match usage of imperial and metric system measurements bugs me.

My height, chest, waist, inside leg, shoe size, weight, distance to somewhere, speed I’m travelling, the drink I order at the pub, the burger I order from Charcoal Pit etc etc. are all taken in imperial measurements.

But the weights at the gym, bottles of Coke at the shop, and furniture from IKEA are all taken in metric.

Just fucking stick with one or the other.

I’ve never once changed my scales to KGs to see how much I weigh, so why are the weights in the gym in KGs? Makes no sense!

“I’m doing a ten ‘kay’ run soon, hoping to build up to a marathon one day”… Why is one 10km but the other 26miles? Fucking make them both km or both miles.

Eggs still sold in sixes and dozens….er money went decimal in 1971 ffs.

Getting tablets out of that blinking silver foil!

Round tablets that roll away.

"I'm no royalist but..."
Almost as nauseating as "in these unprecedented times".
(disclaimer:I liked the Queen)

There are no unprecedented times. Big Bang saw to that.

You’ve got dreads, haven’t you ;)

Traffic lights

You are the only car on the road yet they change to red as you approach. In this day and age we must have the technology to keep them on green if the roads are empty.
