Stupid little things that bug you

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

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

@Bill Walker
At a conference today at work (it’s been a great week for buffets!) and amongst the many pens I’ve picked up and company fridge magnets etc was this water bottle ha ha

Eating Weetabix is like chewing on MDF. Horrible stuff.

Only slightly less carcinogenic!

People buying things up at charity shops, car boots etc to sell on for a massive profit.

Just seems like pure greed to me. When someone less well off might genuinely need it or put it to better use.

I think it's rare that there is anything with massive profit in it. Charity shops are quite savvy about the value of the stock they get in nowadays and you can tell they have done a check of what is online as they have often tracked the price of Ebay or CEX.

Some daft occasions where they think they can get more than the going rate.

Saw a Blu ray boxset in a charity shop with a sticker featuring Maggie Smith, just after she had died. £10. Cex price for same boxset £4.

When I was kid (during the Roman Occupation), my mother would sometimes include in my lunch box, two Weetabix biscuits, buttered (margarine really), and topped with jam.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

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 is the fans who then respond standing up and cheering/roaring wildly.

Sit down you dicks and save it for a goal

And those who go high 5ing when they've won a corner or a goalie doing what he gets paid for.

When your watching Youtube and go to the toilet.
Even though it wasn’t due when you left, they have a nice 20-30 second advert waiting for you when you get back.

Like you just havent watched 7 in the last 15 minutes.

Fuckers!

People refering to things as 'free' when they're on a subscription service that you PAY for!

"I'm just checking out the new Playstation Plus God of War game. It's free on Playstation Plus".

No it's not free!

My Mum’s breakfast was always two buttered Weetabix:)

Songs involving songs that sound like songs that could be songs.

You should write a song about that.

Funny you should say that. I have a copy at hand and found quite recently that I can read Middle English with ease. Of course, it was the era of my favourite previous life so that explains it.

Seriously, I did study Chaucer at school, but that's a long time ago. I bought the book in Altrincham a few months ago, and was really surprised that I could understand it. I just have to look up the odd word.

Let me Guess Brian that you went SBS and you were born in 1974....

Just been to the cashpoint. The lady in front of me took 12 minutes. What can you possibly be doing for that long.

Stop using cash, haven't used it for 5 years, don't miss it.

 

[MellowJoe]

Unmarked police cars, I don't know if that's what they even are but either I've never noticed them before or they've just got a job lot in. Last few months they're everywhere, black beemers. They freak you out when they're right behind you and then suddenly put their fairy lights on and blare their siren

I think that cashpoints have a secret video game that only certain people can access.

Carpet fitters will reduce their bill by £300 if I pay cash

That and the idiots in supermarket queues, who wait until the cashier has scanned all their shopping and told them the price, before getting out their method of payment are two of my biggest irritants. Often it's a card but this has to be brought out of a bag, then a purse, after much fiddling about. You're waiting in a queue where at the end you have to pay. As that time draws near get your fucking card/money ready!

I'll add security queues at airports too. In spite of somebody constantly informing people what to do when they get to the part they have to put their goods into the plastic tray to scan they still fail.

Idris Elba blasting through some guys fucking roof on the sky broadband ad, any savings on broadband are lost by having to get the roof repaired …
