Stupid little things that bug you

Going complete old git here, somethings that annoy me are:
“Fur babies”
“Pet parents”
“Craft”…..
“Artisan bakers”
“ORGANIC botanicals”
Using vegan on stuff just to make it sound sexier..
People blaming being fat on under active thyroid (I have one and you just have to work harder and watch what you eat)
And obviously, scousers

"Pre-loved" for second- hand
"Un-alived" for dead" (actually heard an American news woman use that when describing bombing victims in Gaza)
 
In the past few weeks we've been clearing things ready for the big move. We are giving things away for free, rather than being bothered selling them.

People still act like c***s when it's free. They don't turn up when they say they will, give bullshit excuses, as if they are doing you a favour.

Even worse when the same people are asking for absolutely everything, as if you're too stupid to know that they are just after collecting and selling said items !

Going through the same process, we leave our place in 2 weeks.

Some people are really nice, some are completely unreliable. I honestly think giving things for free is a problem, it attracts the unreliable in society.

"Un-alived" has made it out of streaming/youtube now...
Think it started out being done on Twitch/Youtube as apparently using dead, killed, (and other unacceptable words) can lead to the streams getting demonetised (not being paid the revenue from adverts).

Are any of, "gone to join the choir invisible", "pushing up the daisies",
or "snuffed it", acceptable?
John Cleese asked me to ask.....
 
News reporters who nod for a few seconds before starting to talk from an outside location after being handed over to by the studio.

I got that last week too, so I reported it as being offensive!
On the subject of Facebook, the "suggested reels" I get are really random. Recently I've been getting loads of stuff relating to capybaras and guinea pigs! I do have a passing interest in wildlife, and I occasionally Google South American footballers, so I guess the algorithms assume I like South American rodents for some reason!

Antony?

Cash-e-more-o?
 
The blood transfusion service. They moan about shortages but make it difficult to donate.
I tried to register but couldn't use the normal route as I'm over 65 and my last donation was about 15 years ago. I phoned up, sorted the registration and was then told there was only one appointment available in central Manchester in the next day. They sent me an email during the call asking me to verify my email address, but the verification goes through a queue (approx 8 minutes) and by the time I got into the system the verification validity had timed out.
I'll turn up later and see if they still want my armful of A+.

On a similar topic, I've always been surprised that people wash their hands after using the toilet in a public place, only then to touch the door handle with their hand.

I always use my sleeve to open the door after washing my hands. Obviously it's a dirty sleeve put it's better than my hand touching it after hundreds of people have used their handle with their hands after handling their knobs.

Probably a futile act as naturally you would end up touching other surfaces later but still, it still seems odd to wash your hands then touch a pissy door handle.

I try hard not to touch door handles, banisters or anything where the general public are encouraged to place their grubby hands. I always try to use my sleeve of my coat or cardi.
You’d be amazed at how many women don’t wash their hands after using the toilet. Disgusting.

Except..... we lived with and adapted to germs over thousands of years. Henry the 8th probably didnt wipe his own bum and I'm sure his minions had even less of a health care system.... but they survived. We are now so risk adverse we are going backwards.
Lighten up Normy, we drank water from a hosepipe and played with lead soldiers.
