Stupid little things that bug you

[bluemc]

Anyone who, when talking, puts too much emphasis on the "H" when it's the second letter in a word.

While becomes hwile for example. And for those into Family Guy, expertly demonstrated by Stewie:

I hate headlines that say "Trent this..." and "Trent that...."

Its not bloody Trent. It's "Alexander-Armstrong". If that's too long for a headline, just call him "Arnold" or "AA".

Do you see headlines about City referring to Kevin, or Erling, or Jeremy?

rag friends (sadly this does happen) who get upset when I refer to the predecessor to billy smart's circus tent as 'the swamp'

Forgetting to turn the kettle on when making a cup of tea and pouring cold water into your cup onto the teabag and sugar. Just done that right now and it bugged me.

Probably Farage's fault ;-)

Only ever known yanks to do that. They cant pronounce the word Mirror either. And the word Water fucks them right up

Interstellar travel is not possible. Not by us, not by anybody.

Even a child knows that people are never going to be able to swim non-stop from (say) Dover to Sydney. And interstellar travel is about a million times harder than that.

People who say, “who knows, in 100 years or 500 we may make a discovery….” are merely dreamers.

One potentially suitable destination is Proxima Centauri B at 4.32 light years. Another is Ross 128 B. at 11+ light years.

That's between 10,000 and 150,000 years travel time at NASA's current top speed.

The dreamer says, “but improvements in speed…..” OK... We double the speed - That's between 5,000 and 75,000 years travel time.

“Generation ships” are the purest of pure science fiction.

On the face of it, it's a good idea until we think about thousands of generations of humans travelling non-stop through space, living on food tablets and recycled water, arguing about who should land the ship after 5000 years of living the life of slugs.

And then... “OOPS, there's nothing here, let's turn around and go back…..”

And when they do make it back, they find the rags still haven't won the Premier League since the slip road shitter left, and we're still waiting for the decision of the 115 panel.

Similar, putting your phone on charge overnight but forgetting to turn the socket on

Not so much forgetting for me, more not quite catching the turn on toggle.

The other day, not for the first time, I put my teabag into the milk jug.

Going to press something on your phone screen. The screen moves at the last second making you press on something else. Usually an advert.

Similarly, pronouncing the "T" in often (correct British pronunciation is "O'fen".
Same rule as soften or listen.

You have a milk jug??? How posh are you. My milk is poured straight from the plastic milk bottle into my cup.

That still applies to me on my PC.

I’ve opened the fridge door to put the kettle in. Instead of putting the milk back into the fridge.

Saves walking to the fridge which is in the utility room as our kitchen is very small. The alternative would be to put the fridge in the library, but the west wing is a long way away.

Your passwords don’t match. Don’t know why but really makes me unreasonably angry

AI voice-overs on videos and what takes it over the edge is AI generated still images in the same videos.

Instant turn off.

Buying a pint that isn't quite there, but is it short enough to warrant a trip with your glass back to the bar.

Do I, Don't I?

It's a dilemma.

I remember the days of a pump that moved from side to side with half a pint in glass attached to it....never a short measure at that time.
