Stupid little things that bug you

I'm tempted to leave a note on their towels when they're not there

Throw them in the pool

“Improvements“ to products that make them worse. Super spreading butter substitutes now dominate the market. They have improved the emulsifying process so that the spread is now 68% water. No wonder it is tasteless, melts poorly, and
has the consistency of wallpaper paste. No cheaper though.

Nevertheless you're changing lanes, got to indicate.

Nope, disagree, it is totally obvious to all what your intention is.

perhaps the wind just blew their towels away?

At a pedestrian crossing when someone presses the button despite the ‘wait’ light already being on, meaning someone else has already pressed the button.

Mashing the button doesn’t make the lights change any quicker. Fuckwits.

This scam annoys me too.

It’s the butter equivalent of Mr Whippy “ice cream”. A novel way of charging people more money for less product. And the thick twats continue to buy it.

Really? So why do most driving websites advise indicating?

People who press the button and then cross anyway meaning when the lights change to red for traffic all the traffic is stopped for no reason

Well if you press the button when there’s traffic, but then there’s a break in traffic enabling you to cross before the lights change then that’s fair enough.

Used to love pressing the buttons for a laugh as a kid.

Which one, the bowel movement or the " Guess what honey, the decorators are in "

Sorry, the turd moving through the bowel.If his turds were that shape he wouldn’t have been constipated in the first place.

I will repeat what I was taught. You only indictate if there is someone to appreciate the signal. That makes the driver think and look around rather than doing it automatically and therefore not concentrating. If you are in a dedicated right turn lane, stopped at traffic lights, do you indicate ? It is obvious where you are going to go there is no need to signal, it is the same when entering the motorway.

Edit: The Highway Code does not mention signalling when joining a motorway.

Why are United Utilities paying for prime time adverts on TV? It's not like you can switch from United Utilities to Buxton Spring Water.
Total waste of customers' money.

When a player taking a corner puts the ball down and has to wait until the lines person cranes their neck over it to see that a fraction of it is over the line. Lord have mercy!

It's only obvious, turning right if there's a stagger on the lights.

You're giving drivers too much respect that they'll actually be in the correct lane when 2/3 lanes set off together.

It's been lovely on the roads for the last few months where I am but, the time is coming when there's TB's as I call them (Tourist Bastards) who are not used to the markings over here.

And then wedge a matchstick down the side so the button was constantly pressed in

Weather forecasters when talking about the weather saying “the here and now” What is that? How about just saying ”Here’s the weather for today”. The woman on North West says it every day and it really gets on my goat, I have to shout back at the telly.

When the packaging is too big for the product to make it look like there is a lot more product in the packaging than there actually is.

I know it's commonplace to do this to some extent but some companies royally take the piss. Walkers and Cadbury's seem to be the worst culprits.

I opened a bag of Walkers the other week and discovered about 10 sorry looking crisps in the bottom of the bag.

Bloody scandalous, I tell ya...

I think its to stop mongloids flushing baby wipes etc down the bog.

There was an incident where a ten year old lad was shot by an irate motorist for pushing the button but not crossing the road.

They don't advertise that they pour raw sewage into our rivers.
