Stupid little things that bug you

[SWPISHOME]

Parents at kids football games who go on like they are the coach on the sidelines.

Fucking cunts.

The yanks got most of their shit from UK, measurements still in use today, refrigeration is still measures in tons, horse power, there's yards, inches, deg F, British Thermal units for heat, inches water gauge for resistance etc etc.

Britain has abandoned all these.

Abandoning inches of water for resistance was probably a decent move, to be fair.

Yeah, we’re frequent visitors to the US, and it takes a bit of getting used to all the imperial measurements each time we go over there.

There's a Lord Snooty tribute act who recently lost his parliamentary seat who probably still writes like that.

If you’re referring to whom I think you are, he was this election's Portillo; the one I was most delighted to see the back of.

That one **** who inevitably gets out of his seat and opens the overhead luggage compartment the second the plane exits the runway.

People finishing a sentence with "it is what it is."

Really gets on my nerves too, but it is what it is, at the end of the day.

 

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

People finishing a sentence with "it is what it is."

Also people who finish words with" a "YAR" or a "CHAR" sound. Procedure becomes "Proced-yar, adventure becomes "Advent-char, lecture becomes "Lec-char and so on..

It's what I grew up with ...stick yer Pascals ;)

People that have to tell everyone that they go to the gym.
They’re worse than vegans.

My mate keeps telling me that he needs to join a local gym but he isn't fit enough to do so as yet.
Work that one out!

Yet, Michael Portillo has really grown on me, so to speak, since then, from his railway journeys, to his walks throughout Britain and Europe, even his stints on political programmes, I can listen to his views and dare I say, agree with many. However, not so sure I could say that of the former.

People, who start sentences with, "So…" or "I mean…".

Which is about 90% of those you see interviewed on TV nowadays.

They do that on the quiz shows. It's annoying.

Commentators, who say, "Going backwards," during an athletics race.

David Coleman used to do all the time, and now Steve Cram uses it. I even heard it in Le Tour earlier this week.

Especially those who start off with "So, yeah, no, I mean...". Euthanasia is too good for these bellends.

I don’t mind Portillo now.

We’ve watched some of his Great Train Journeys programmes, and they are quite interesting.
