Stupid little things that bug you

When advertisers speed up the end of a radio advert to a point where it is near impossible to understand the T&C's. It is even more ridiculous that the Advertising Standard Agency insist on these rules but think it's OK that no one can actually hear them.

That's always made me mad. the speed should be the same at least as the legal bollocks is what will cause you the pain when you can't pay the money.
 
'Let me give you a piece of advice'. No, fuck off. If I wanted advice I would ask for it. Can't stand know it all's. Patronising gits who think they know the lot when in reality they know sweet FA about anything.

The way Americans pronounce 'suggest'.
'sug jest'.
Oh, and 'aluminium'.
'aloooomminumium'.

The way Americans speak in general. They cant all have lisps, so why can they pronounce the letter S properly? Case in point, watch Christian Bale or that day walker from Homeland and Band of Brothers do an American accents. Its coached into them, because they all do it. Just say sausages properly without spraying the word out of your front teeth!

Truly hateful.
I witnessed a conversation where a couple of pretentious dog owners were discussing the breeds they were walking.
"Yes, mine's a labradoodle you know."

"Oh really. Well he's a cockapoo."

They are mongrels ffs.

I don't mind people jokingly calling the dog their kid. But when people are serious I am so mad. I hear in some places the Fire Brigade are asking their guys to double check if someone says "My baby is in there" that they mean an actual human child. A guy nearly drowned diving in to a car during severe floods to save a "baby" that turned out to be the woman's pet dog.

Seriously, I can't stand it when people say the dog is the 'brother' of the kids. It is stupid.

People at self service checkouts who don't bag their shopping straight away and instead wait until they've paid and then stand there for 5 minutes bagging it all up. Also, on a related note, the maniacs who put all their un bagged shopping in a trolley and then transfer it all, still unbagged, item by item, into their boot. Absolute wierdos.

Depends on the bag. I often take a bag pack to my local Morrisons and if I put it empty on the scales where it does the ‘place your bag on the scales’ thing the till beeps and flashes up the ‘someone is coming to assist’ thing. So it’s easier just to scan it all through then put it in my bag at the end.

I think it’s a weight thing.

So yeah. Fuck off! [emoji38]
 
You’ve done your big shop, full bags of shopping hanging around your hands and wrists!
Your leaving the store, your balancing and you feel the bags stretching ready to break.
I’m right handed and have slightly less bags on my right arm so i can just about adjust to reach in my pocket for my car keys to open the boot.
50/50 chance the keys being in my right hand jeans pocket which would be perfect!
But no, i’m doing a juggling act and the little fuckers are burried 20ft deep beneath my wallet in my left hand jeans pocket!
FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Why the shitting hell are they always in that pocket when my arms are about to fall off.
God, just this one time ever, i wanted them to be in my right hand pocket.
All bags had to be placed on the car park floor and obviously some topple over and bits fall out BASTARD BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!
 
What is it with Chinese people ?
Theres a few in our building, I get in the lift, arrive at ground floor, doors open and they start getting in before me and whoever gets out ! .....fucking infuriating.
 
People who lie , hypocrites , people who commit violent acts against others for no good reason , bullies , people who think they are morally superior to anybody else particularly those whose views they disagree with.

I say little things because they used to mean something but don't seem very important anymore where fewer and fewer are made accountable for their actions.
 
Doesn’t bug me as such more amusing but one of the checkout operatives at my local Tesco always gives me three of those little vote for your favourite local charity things. So I put one in each and nobody is any better off. Pointless really. Like this post but it keeps the daily count up
