Stupid little things that bug you

In slow moving traffic, I will gladly allow a car to join from a side road. However, I do not feel as generous when a car or van starts edging into the road so I have no choice but to stop. Don't forget, it's not just me stopping but everyone behind me.

Also, I get peeved when cars cross over the central reservation to pass a parked car when the obstruction is on their side and I have a clear road and right of way.

Child safety locks and packaging, bottles that are supposed to be child safe. I can never open them. The packaging, that is, not the child.

When you're binge watching a tv series and they have to play the tarting theme music for 5 fucking minutes before every episode along with credits, does anybody care who was the executive producers or who did the screenplay ffs.
What is theme music for anyway ?

Not only that but you get a complete re run of what happened in the last 17 episodes. It's over before it's finished...

Fwiw ycnmiu lol

I had a conversation in work about five or six years ago now, with a few younger people who thought it was they (meaning the younger generation) who invented the idea of using acronyms or abbreviations for words until I told them my Dad used to write them on the back of letters he used to send to my Mum when he was away in WWII (SWALK, BURMA etc).

My missus has started wrapping elastic bands on one of the ends of packets, so I asked her what's she doing that for and it turns out she saw it online, the elastic band actually stops the wipes coming out in clumps though.

Not that you should have to use one.

I’ll give that a go;)

Commentators saying "apologies if you were offended by any foul language you may just have heard" during matches. If you don't want to hear it, don't watch football!

There’s more people offended that the commentator has to apologise than were offended in the first place! They say it every game these days too.

NORWICH is another one.

people who shorten words and insist on using acronyms in general, i mean what the fuck are you doing with extra second you have saved by not saying the whole bloody word

It's not a new thing. Back in ancient Rome, after all the animals were killed, they'd bring out a load of religious nutters. The crowd all shouted "Fuck of Christians". In time, this was shortened to FOC. Some BM's still refer to it.

Films where the Baddie (Predator/Terminator for example) has the enemy in it’s hands, but always decides to throw the Goodie from one side of the room to the other.

Just crush his skull or rip his head off instead of playing with him like a Killer Whale with a Seal
