The small things in life that annoy you

Ballon D’or. Who cares so much about these gongs? TAA’s main ambition to win it FFS. And ‘Team of the year’ - you know they literally have competitions to work that out.

When did Halloween become a thing? When I was a kid no one talked about it you might get one trick or treater but Bonfire night was a much bigger thing. Now everyone’s all over it 

[whelk]

Aye even hearing ‘happy Halloween’ - WTF. I never get a response when I wish someone Happy St Swithuns

The most annoying thing about Halloween* (sic) is the thick f**kers that can't spell it properly....

A guy was driving his kids round last night stopping at all the decorated houses so his kids could jump out.

I guess it maximised the amount of sugary shit they could.get their podgy hands on, without any of that nasty exercise to go with it.

Trousers reaction to spelling is the tradition I associate with Halloween.

Let it go mate - I had to do the same with stadia v stadiums (wrong). Don’t get me started about Staycations and twats thinking it is just not holidaying abroad

As kids in the 1950s we were all into it. We used to hollow out a swede (he wasn’t happy about it) and put a lighted candle inside. Then walk around the streets wondering why we had done it.

Pumpkins were unheard of in those days.

Not sure pub queuing has been but yes what the fuck is that about?

Those all look familiar bar 5. And all very irritating. Bags on seats on trains as well as feet. 

Whelk - the queuing is more of a cafe thing I find but it might in the old fart pubs I use, it’s not a thing whereas in the trendier urban bars it might be more so.

Twats that call a sequence of TV shows a "season" rather than a "series". (Probably the same utter twats that say "Can I get....?" rather than "Can I have...?")

Even Jeremy F***ing Clarkson did so when announcing 'season' (sic) five of 'Clarkson's Farm' recently.

Twats.

When you go to cut a sandwich in half and take every measure humanly possible to ensure the the cut has gone all the way through the bread end-to-end, you still get two little bits of stubborn bread clinging mercilessly together at one end.

Bread: stop it, you twat - it's f***ing annoying

Parking across two spaces cunt is one of my personal bugbears.

It's bad enough when the spaces are clearly marked, but what really gets my goat is in car parks that have no marked bays and everyone insists on parking as far away as possible from the next car without actually leaving enough space for another one, thus massively reducing the overall capacity of the car park. 

[whelk]

Talking of parking - NCP car parks - usually 3 bays with pillars either side (Grosvenor Square)but unless you drive a Fiat Punto you can’t get out of your car as no space to get in bay and actually open your door. I know councils are strapped but FFS make them down to two so there is room. Apologies I drive SUV.

Twats.

If it is released 'seasonally', e.g. once a year, surely that is correct?

Or should we call it the 'football series' rather than season?

Dry Robes.

They’re nearly always worn by wannabe cool mums in the school yard thinking they look sick in their oversized drip with a look of “every dad wants to rizz me up” (I think that’s what the kids say)

The truth is they look skibidi and any sigma dad like me just laughs at them.

It's because they can't be arsed to get dressed properly, not cos it's cool - it's the new pyjamas, slippers and dressing gown look.

Same here, growing up in 1960’s/early 70’s Halloween didn’t exist. Can’t really recall when it came to prominence, possibly just an excuse for a piss up in pubs late 70’s onwards

Not sure if you’re serious about the 50’s as we weren’t aware of it in 60’s , but might depend where you were living at the time.

Definitely 1950’s when I was living in Dovercourt, Essex. It was the setting for “Hi De Hi”. We didn’t think of it as behind the times but at around 11 years old and not knowing any better we had to make our own entertainment..

I had a dream you walked into a Maidstone tearoom and this old boy and his mates were banging on about the far right and belts. You told them to shut up and the old boy battered you. Then the queen turned up and turned you into a sausage roll. Make of it what you will

I'm sure it's been said before but on a related note, any poll or stat based solely on the premier league.  Why not do top flight football and include everyone?

And on an unrelated note, really bright LED headlights.  Fucking dangerous.

I just think it's worth bearing in mind when people bang on about too much red tape, inefficient public sector etc etc that the private sector is often worse and the difference is they make a profit out of it.  Anyway, wrong thread for this but to bring it back on topic:
