Stupid little things that bug you

People who buy Bottled water thinking tap water is poisoning millions of us

The obsession in the US with calling everyone 'Bro'

It isn't only in the US.
Try any UK city or large town and you will hear 'bro' used - errm bro'.

People who give their kids the same name as themselves , just weird

My dad named his first born after himself and it was real confusing for my early years until it was settled on calling them Dad Derek and Derek Derek- but was hugely helpful when my dad passed away intestate - any phone calls to solicitors or banks he managed to get significantly more access - maybe forward planning ;)

Had a couple of families on the street I grew up in that did that. Both ended up being called Junior, which then gets even more confusing when you have two Juniors on the street at the same time!

This morning it’s the pillock on Radio 2 constantly interrupting the travel broadcast and trying to turn it into some sort of comedy sketch. The bloody woman couldn’t concentrate, didn’t know if the road was closed, partially closed, north bound, south bound or bloody egg bound. It’s hard enough to listen to when you’re completely unaffected but if you’re one the 1% who are travelling on that route and could avoid the delays with the right information it must be really annoying.

Out on my bike the other day and just a fraction away from being hit by a car exiting a side road. It was a lady driver who was clearly using her hand-held 'phone, she did stop to say sorry.

Got me thinking, if that had been a bloke, I could have cursed and heaped any amount of abuse and opprobrium at him without any repercussion. But, with a woman (who's 'phone could have been in record mode?), what could I say without being reported to the police for misogyny, a gender issue, being offensive or using threatening behaviour? The maximum would probably be "Please take more care madam".

In today's policing world, offending a person probably takes precedence over careless driving.

Hehe sorry but calls from beyond the crypt.

I have a B-I-L and his son who are both called Les. Separated into Big Les, the dad who is quite slight and Little Les the son who is nothing of the sort.

All this three piece suit and top hat bollocks I've just seen on TV at some horse racing.

Not only do they look ridiculous but it's 29 degrees today.

Would the horses race a bit slower if people turned up to watch wearing shorts and t-shirt?

Idiots who walk their dogs in 32 degree's heat .

It's like they are too stupid to trust their own voices, I remember when that shit way of finishing sentences with a fucked up inflection became fashionable it was shocking.

Really common now and unbearable to listen to. Another American infiltration as hear it more in the UK.
Have people I work with I cannot listen to.

Idiots who walk their dogs in 32 degree's heat .

Yes, yes, and thrice yes.
Never mind the actual heat affecting them, the pavements get so hot it can burn their pads.
So.e people do not deserve such loyal and loving creatures.

My local Council increasing Council Tax to empty my bins less frequently. The incompetent Council then has the cheek to charge an additional amount on top of an increased tax to empty your green bin. Greedy and lazy c*nts.

This year, my green bin charge is £64 for 25 collections (was free a few years back!). Having only a small amount of garden waste, I asked the council if it could introduce some sort of "Pay as you go" system. Perhaps a bar code on the bin that can be zapped then debited? A slightly higher charge would be OK to cover admin' costs.
A straight "No" was the answer, not even for consideration.

Council priority No.1 - Get re-elected.
Council priority No.2 - Increase tax, car park fees and everything else to cover wasteful expenditure.

erm,
what about people with dogs who live in countries where the temperature is regularly above 30degrees?

oh, and edit:
the plural of degree is degrees not degree's.

the spelling police are always watching

Seriously, Brit’s are fucking clueless, too hot, too cold, it’s never either one, just bland
