The small things in life that annoy you

Commentator’s seeming to think it is psychological genius to have a player other than the penalty taker hold the ball beforehand. Yeah no way Salah is taking this penalty as Curtis Jones is holding the ball……there’s a shock.

Adverts where trhe product does '...up to..." a percentage performance; "Up to 100%" is as likely to be 0% as it is 100%. Also, those with user suveys of 49 people being uised as statistical proof of user satisfaction.

Overtaking a lorry at 58mph about half a mile from your exit off a dual-carriageway and you're stuck behind somebody doing 59mph in the right hand lane. 'Annoy' might be an understatement, it's a special kind of hatred like no other.

This sort of thing genuinely makes me want to throw bricks at the TV screen....

Surely not? She didn’t actually answer with that?

Yup. She'd never heard of The Rhine and reckoned it "sounded more Asian than European". I despair.

I feel a need for one of those McInnes facepalm emojis. ‘Sounded more Asian than European’ 😂😂😂

I bet that appears in the next Private Eye.

Someone not knowing about a river makes you want to throw rocks at a tv? Bit of an over reaction, not least because you’d waste a presumably good tv. 
Save the scorn for people intentionally stupid

It's easily done. I keep a small pile of keep sake river bed stones, from my travels, in the TV room. Last week, I was so angry I nearly threw one from the South American Danube at it.

This sort of person is intentionally stupid. Or ignorant at the least. There is no excuse for not taking an interest in the world around you.

Surely she remembers Lothar Matthaus' hit single, 'The Fog on the Rhine'?

Oh come on, you don't know anything about her, where she lives, what kind of education she had or anything else.  Get over yourself.

The irony is that she actually knocked out two other contestants to get to that stage.

That answer tells me all I need to know.

Your approach to education illustrates why the public are so uneducated. Libraries are free and it is up to the individual to educate themselves.

Nah, I've got more pent up scorn in my body that I know what to do with. I reserve the right to liberally scatter my scorn as I see fit

P.s. it's bricks, not rocks. I reserve the later for those that design impossible to open crumpet packets 

Next...

People that lecture others on how to deploy their scorn.... 😁

Not as bad as when QI or University Challenge have an incorrect 'right' answer to a question. You come to expect idiocy and ignorance from day time game shows, the contestants are specially selected.

Pretty quick to rush to judgements on people you have no idea about, aren't you?  Might be an idea to pop down to your library and see if they have a book that might help you.

As I said, her answer tells me everything I need to know.

Would you employ her?

Not sure, unlike you I’d probably need to find out a bit more. Doubt I’d employ you though 

[whelk]

I was thinking of going on Dragon’s Den with a pitch that I want to set up an agency for anyone who has questions about rivers. Aiming at an audience that have turned their backs on the internet. Given me an idea for one of the interview questions

I wouldn't work for you. I've had my own business for 43 years and I shall never work for anyone else ever again.
