Stupid little things that bug you

[Mr Fraser]

I’ve done that in my time. At times, I also walk in the road, close to the pavement where the flags are all broken and uneven as they are where I live. Many folk do, it’s so dangerous on the pavement and before anyone asks, yes they’ve been reported to the council, to the local councillor, that many times, neighbours have forgotten. All they do is patch here and there and there are many more broken flags that they don’t even bother to fix, or are tarmaced over but are still bumpy as hell with tree roots. A bloody nightmare.

Good point which brings to mind another bugbear related of a more serious nature - motorists who park on the footway. I should have written joggers who run in the road for no good reason

End of build punch lists
Installing goofy home owner chosen pocket door hardware etc
Stickers on brackets and surfaces where they’ll be seen and takes five times as long to clean the glue off than to install the part !!!!!
Oh, let’s not forget cheap screws that come with all the goofy hardware, look at it wrong and the heads strip

Stop moaning, you're charging this goofy owner an effin fortune for his wood hut.*




Othercwood huts are available at B&Q, Costco and other good retailers.

People on packed trains who put their bags on an empty seat next to them and then give any one who dares to ask them to move their bag a dirty look. You've paid for one seat not two.

He’s only at $700k ! on this remodel, we’ll be back next year for another $150 k’s worth. Got a couple of hits to build in the interim, was hoping to take a break for a week but ‘Merca needs building ( waits for other commitments)

Not taking a free kick from the correct spot. The amount of yards that players move the ball forward instead of putting the ball where a foul has taken place or where the offside is given and yet a referee pushes a player back, quite rightly, when gaining yards at a throw in. This really should be looked at.

Does that pay more than the building work ?

It does unfortunately I meant huts

Not much burns my arse quite like this.
Don't call me when the stupid thing falls off it's track after it's been trimmed out.

I presume you 2 chippies tell the goofy owners that their cheap tat will break/fall off. When I bought a shed the bloke recommended a good lock for the door and glass windows. Unfortunately the allotment didn't allow glass so it had to be plastic. Other than that it trimmed out nicely.
