Stupid little things that bug you

Was on a first aid training course at work yesterday along with about 25 others including 2 fucking know it alls.

These two spent the entire course trying to out do each other - answering any question someone asked rather than the trainer answer it and then try their very best to counter the others answer with a "yes but in that scenario you could also do....."

One of them' sat in front of me, had the habit of finishing the sentence off for the trainer..... the pair of them were fucking annoying.

Izal was made by the same people who owned Thorncliffe Colliery in Yorkshire.

Not a lot of people know that! How a colliery company ended up making bog roll I have no idea.

Izal was originally a disinfectant made from coal oil and at some point it was decided to make a toilet roll infused/coated with it and the name got associated with that instead.

The word Izal is supposedly derived from the sister of one of the inventors of the disinfectant who was called Liza.

The other sister was called Tish.
 
R.M. as they fulfil the criteria ,as as in stupid and little.so a win really.,in attitude at least .
On reflection though they have demonstrated to the world what petty, self absorbed arrogant immature babies they are.That will live long in people's minds,
 
Listening to the pair of loud knobheads holding a business meeting, complete with laptops out, in the small hotel dining room at breakfast this morning whilst they & everyone else were eating breakfast.
They just talked shit for 35 mins & were completely up themselves.

Got a Cooper S........ wow, a sporty little number, does what a Mini Cooper S does except it's too fucking technical for its own good. Everything has to be approved by the computor. Can I check the oil level, erm no...well I can but I believe I have to do it whilst driving and yesterday it told me via a page of text on the screen that a tyre was ever so slightly down, didn't say which one but was ' allowing ' me to carry on driving...thanks Mini !! How do I check the tyre pressures apart from the old fashioned, tried and trusted way. I have to drive it for about a mile and then fuck about with the computor until I've either found it or put it on its roof in a hedge. Seriously, I'm still non the wiser. I think it's called progress.

Rarely hear that these days, more often it's Wudda, Shudda, Cudda (along with the dropped "T"). My old English language teacher would have chucked his blackboard duster at you if he heard any of that.

It's not so much spoken as written that's excruciating. I'd never seen these written with 'of' until about 20 years ago so it's pretty recent and increasingly widespread. It doesn't even make sense. There are 12 year old kids in Europe in the early stages of learning English as a second language who would never write that. My belief is that people who write that don't read enough because surely if they read these common constructs in their correct form they'd soon pick up that the 'of' should be 'have'.

@citizen_maine And then somebody would make a film of it
@Mad Eyed Screamer shoots the 2 loud mouths but it turns out they were in a biker gang.
20 Hells Angels descend on the offices and a dance (known in Hollywood as a fight) breaks out. MES, whose gun has jammed, kills them one by one with sugar tongs and a rolled up serviette.
All this plays out to a backing track Bigmouth Strikes Again sung by some long forgotten artist.

As its Hollywood it would have to have a happy ending..... I can't be arsed thinking of one.....

I have a feeling of deja vu here... Haven't you been in this exact situation before with the same scenario of some clever twats annoying you on a training course?

Maybe when you mentioned that you had being on eggheads to anyone that would listen you wound the rest of the class up quite a bit, they then all thought you were a big headed know everything twat and they then tried to outdo you.
 
Certain Premier league players (not name shaming Saka) who win a tackle or a throw in then immediately turn to the crowd and wave their arms about for adulation.
it's turned more into X Factor than football these days.

Even worse are the fans who then respond standing up and cheering/roaring wildly.

Sit down you dicks and save it for a goal

No. My last gripe in this thread was about twats bringing water bottles the size of a beer barrel to company meetings.
