Stupid little things that bug you

[Kippax77]

Agree with everything you say

You forgot to mention that every war film shows them winning the war and saving the world.

Even against feckin aliens

Funny that! I was told the exact opposite. When you press the button it overrides the first press and starts a new programme cycle.
Probably both just urban nonsense.

The original post from @staffsblue has disappeared, but this conjures up an image of, say a Spike Milligan sketch with a bunch of coppers chasing a guy in a hooped T-shirt and mask across a series of busy roads and fighting over who gets to press the buttons...

I know, I know, but it's been a long day :-/

Cunts on the bus who press the bell multiple times when they want to get off. One person needs to push it once; that's quite sufficient.

On a crowded bus going home last night, some idiot pushed the bell five times for one stop, and I lost count of the times it was pressed three or four times.

If I were a bus driver, I'd be tempted to park up and fuck off, as listening to that all day would get right on my tits.

Or just put a sign up saying "your Driver today is Gus Fring".

Christmas trees and Xmas decorations, what’s the point?

Christmas trees and Xmas decorations, what’s the point?

Evergreen plants like holly, ivy and mistletoe are symbols of life and fertility in the face of the bleak winter months which can be a metaphor for death. They have been brought into homes in Britain in the Winter for thousands of years.
Anything with lights on are a nod to the Sun coming back to give us longer and warmer days in a new year. They are fake versions of us burning things to symbolise the Sun’s light, like the burning of the Yule Log, a custom brought to us by Scandinavian invaders and settlers.
Christmas trees were from the Holy Roman Empire, where they’d have them in the home for the same reason we had holly, ivy and mistletoe. The earlier Roman Empire had tree branches and wreaths in the home for Saturnalia.

I was at Stalybridge tip yesterday. There's 20 bays for different things. Does the person at the front of the queue go to the first available bay? Does he fuck. He waits for a spot right outside the exact bay he wants while the bays 11-20 are empty and there's a queue of cars waiting behind him.

"Where shall I put this cardboard mate?"
How about that great big fucking skip that's full of cardboard. With a great big sign at the front saying cardboard

Oh for the good old days when you could turn up at the tip whenever you liked and chuck your crap either into any skip or the incinerator (depending which tip you went to).
If I let people carry heavy objects around amongst moving traffic without a hi vis, helmet and steel toecaps in my workplace the council would be all over me, yet it’s ok at one of there recycling centres.

Prince Albert popularised Christmas trees in Britain during the 19th century, following on from Queen Charlotte (wife of George 111) who imported her native German custom back in the 1700s.

It's the ones who aimlessly pace about who get on my tits. Are they going to lurch l/r stop dead, do an about turn?
Who knows?

What

Morons who walk slow whilst on their phones. Gormless

Also the idiots who walk into a busy shop entrance, stop, then swivel. Usually muttering to their other half "What are we in here for?"

 

[Southern KK]

When I arrive by train in an unfamiliar city and use Google maps directions, particularly in London, and the voice says "head west down such and such a street". Oh, hang on, I'll just get my astrolabe out and work out which direction is west.

much better App for moving around London and other cities is Citymapper. It even tells you when to get off the bus!

When you stop to let someone through in your car and by way of saying thanks they flash their full beam at you and burn your retinas out. Thanks pal.

I live on a housing estate of approximately 400 houses and several of them have their Christmas lights up flashing away already

Elton John has a very simple and traditional Christmas decoration, a candle in the wind(ow)..

In some European countries, they keep their Christmas decorations up until 2nd February. We used to do the same in England n’all.

That’ll be Candlemas.

On Miseryside they celebrate all year round.

Clothes companies who do tracksuit bottoms (which I like to wear around the house) where the inside leg length is only 31” whether they’re S/M/L/XL/XXL.

If the waist measurement goes up with each size up, why doesn’t the leg length?
