Stupid little things that bug you

Win percentages for managers or teams.
Win 3 and draw seven league games gives a win percentage of only 30% but gets 16 points while winning five and losing five gives a win percentage of 50% but only 15 points.
A points percentage makes more sense but the maths are probably beyond most pundits, even though 11 year olds could calculate them.
 
Why refs never do what want them to, I had £4 at 200-1 on both teams to miss a pen tonight, got interesting when jesus missed his then a swindon player falls over in the box & I am convinced its going to happen ...................
But the ref waves play on!

Also the union jack one and those cars that have the turn indicator in the middle of the red circle.

People who will post, "Do you win your bet if after extra time it goes to pens "? and when someone said to me after returning from Swindon . 66/1 Swindon to win well worth a bet in a 2 horse race after he'd backed em, then you have to say 3 horse you idiot, even heard commentators and pundits comment similar fools.

Hmmm I get your point but there are bets available 'to qualify'

You forgot, having been asked to pay, they produce a thick wad of vouchers, most of which are expired, but which the cashier then has to scan one by one to see if they are usable.

Sorry about that, but I am aright miserable bastard. Dont forget asking, can you check that again. I try and grind them down.. last year I saved £34.65 for 590 hours haggling. Not bad.

Or a lot of the newer cars have the indicator built into the headlight & as you are waiting to get out of a junction all you can see as they come down the road is a bright headlight no idea the indicator was even flashing, & dont get me started on fancy LED headlights that dont seem to dip properly!
As the advert used to say "Dont Dazzle, dip your headlights"

I know it is petty but that Nottingham Forest club badge always bugs me. Since when has one tree constituted a Forest. I have an apple tree in my back garden but I don't claim to live next to Sherwood Forest. Maybe they should change their name to Nottingham Acid Rain Forest.

You don't live in a forest though do you. You live in an orchard.

I love being an awkward bastard
