Stupid little things that bug you

[lefty goldblatt]

Programmes which are (obviously) repeats, and there's a caption on screen, every 5 minutes
"This edition was filmed before social distancing measures where applied", so some arsehole doesn't ring in to the BBC/ITV, thinking they're being clever.

The missus on face time. Why the fuck is she so loud?

My mate is the same....think their brains think about the distance.

People who DELIBERATELY pronounce words differently to the rest of the English speaking world. Examples:-

Osama bin Laden. We all knew how the rest of us said it. Some prick on the tele used to pronounce it as OZMA bin LaYden.

and the current Covid crisis, where the Western world pronounce the first 2 letters, the same as the famous 1970/80's middle distance runner and smarmy politician, Coe. We now have some whoppers saying the two letters as"coh" as in cough, cot, condom etc.
Attention seeking wankers.

TV's same old same old talking heads are regularly blinding me with this one - "things have changed so much in a couple of short weeks" - em, nope, despite your Oxbridge-educated privileged position, the past few weeks have been the exact same length as all the other ones we've lived through.

Surely one week was shorter when the clocks went forward.

I’ve always pronounced Eric Cantona by emphasising the “o” rather than the “a” (the same as “toner” for a printer). Just to wind Rags up.

The present audio sensory overload Im enduring by being able to hear 3 different radio stations on at once in different gardens. Its like Benidorm square here.

The wind. I know it's a feature, but, it's ruining my plan to go into the garden without a duffle coat on. In the scale of problems we are facing,I realise that's fuck all, but my sister lives in Kent and has just sent a photo of their day in the garden and nobody is sitting with a tinfoil cape on..

We’re not in the Republic of Mancunia either mate!

For this, you are forgiven.
Didn't Jimmy Hill used to do the same?

This made me chuckle. Marcos Row-Joe and David De Gayer are two favourites of mine.

I used to do the same with Rojo. Say it like BoJo. And Degay for the goat in goal

A shortage of intelligence lends itself to increasing of volume.

More to do with my hearing aid. They dont discriminate between stations unfortunately

There was an old neighbour that thought there was a correlation between the warm weather and noise he generated. It sounded like the Waltzer from Hell.

Last night my missus told me to wake her up in the morning if it was nice I just did and she's gone apeshit I will soon need a roll of carpet for the body.

Next time you wake up to a dark, wet day, smother her with a pillow.

Now that's a valid observation and one I hadn't thought of. Still annoying tho :)

Charcoal bags you put in a barbecue. Fucking stupid fucking bastard things. Light the corners ok then, then it takes fucking ages for the bag to burnout, and I have to keep lightning the bag as it doesn’t burn underneath.

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

When car doors and trunks are slammed shut way beyond needed by passengers.

When your parked at the beach(today). we are social distancing in our car enjoying a coffee and a snack, the sun, scenery and silence, and fresh air with the windows down half way, when some elderly lady pulls in beside us, parks and then just sits there with the engine idling.
From nature to noise pollution in a split second.
I'm annoyed, when after a minute or two she puts her window down.
I speak over "Do you need to leave your vehicle running?"
She doesn't hear me over her engine din, but the wife gives me a dirty look. Go figure. Then the noisy neighbor proceeds to start throwing scraps out of her window bringing in a couple dozen squawking seagulls, and her car's still running. So we just moved on. The whole thing lasted probably less than 5 minutes, but it sure bugged me.

Fucking old bitch, I get the impression she knew exactly what she was doing

Outside music .
I don’t want to have to listen to your shit music. Put earphones in

That **** across the road from me takes a minimum two hours to wash his car the bellend and always has smooth FM on. I'm sure I clocked him wearing a United tshirt last year.

Last night my missus told me to wake her up in the morning if it was nice I just did and she's gone apeshit I will soon need a roll of carpet for the body.

Isn't that a euphemism for waking her up with your morning glory? I don't know... who knows what's going off in womens heads
