Stupid little things that bug you

[Barcon]

Salesmen. I bought a couch on Monday and told them I was going away on Friday for three weeks and will p/u when I get back.
Pillock calls me last night asking if I can p/u tomorrow.

Just finished painting my garden fence and saw a notification from Ashton Cricket Club that today's game was live on YouTube.

Since we moved after going on a semi regular basis for 50 odd years when apart from the odd run they've been crap, they've had a 100% winning season 2 promotions and did the league treble last year!!!!!

This season they're 3 wins from 3 games, put YouTube on and they're 9/4!!!!!!

I must be a curse.

It’s so frustrating when people change lanes without using their blinker—it's like they forget basic road courtesy! And don’t even get me started on the mobile connection in our area. It’s been so spotty lately, dropping calls and struggling to load anything. I’ve had enough, honestly. I’ve decided to look into vortex cellular instead, hoping their coverage and service will be better. I’ve heard some good things, so fingers crossed it improves both my connection and my daily commute

Grown adults using electric scooters on pavements.

Buy a car you tight c*nts or use public transport.

20 mph speed limits.
Only taken seriously by liberal / green despots.

Aldi.

More specifically, paying at their self-service tills and if you want a carrier bag, you have to find a member of staff and ask for one. Then they absolutely insist that they scan it for you and put it down on the scale before they let you continue.

Huge trust issues there.

You can’t beat bonkers village cricket.
Once, our team was 30/7 chasing 76. We made it easily (76/9) as yours truly batting no.9 hit a magnificent 23*. As my team mate said: “You’d be alright if you could hold the bat properly.”
A friend appeared in his team’s season’s stats as:
Also batted: A. Smith 0.

I went in a supermarket today where they were doing beer for a quid. It turned out it was 3.4%
I mean, what is the point in drinking that?

So I bought some Hob Goblin IPA ......
it was dearer.........
And yes you fucking guessed it.... 3.4%

Note to self, read the bloody can.

Why do footballer teams need to have a huddle a the start of the second half?
They have one at the start of the game and then have 15 minutes together at half-time.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Electric car drivers who insist on sitting in the outside lane doing 60 mph.

I was batting at No.10 for my local village team when a fast delivery flew of the shoulder of the bat, hit me in the mouth and removed 3 teeth.
Bloodied and dazed I staggered, the wicket keeper came round to put an arm round me...and at the same time stumped me!

 

[Kinkybyname]

the mass delusion that wankers such as Benn, Scargill, Hatton, Bragg and so many others etc are/were socialists, and not at all pathetic tub-thumping hypocrites, privately screwing the money system and dry-bumming the hopes and beliefs of so many honest but misguided supporters

People who call indicators blinkers.

Aldi have trolleys that require a pound coin to use them while local Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrison's don't: Further trust issues.

Electric car drivers who insist on sitting in the outside lane doing 60 mph.

Hardly restricted to EV drivers.

[Really_here]

I detest all the adverts that ask for £x per month for water aid, donkeys, RSPCA, bears etc etc etc. I invariably turn over or mute the sound. I'm also bored shitless by the never ending stream of people wanting me to pay for my cremation/funeral while I'm still here. What heppens if they go bust?
