The small things in life that annoy you

Commentators constantly apologizing because you might have heard some "industrial" language during the game.

Just flicked through Sky 1 and saw the BOULEI game and the picture quality is way worse than even SD. It’s like watching a video of an old 70s match being replayed. I don’t know, it seems like plain bitterness. They’re putting it on free to people without the sports package (which I do have BTW) so ‘f**k you, were going to ruin it you.’

[whelk]

Naff nicknames for football teams eg Cherries, Toffees, Citizens. Worse still Is people referring to them by these names.

I don't mind if it is their traditional nickname, Bournemouth have been the cherries for as long as I can remember.It's a bit more cringeworthy when they try and reinvent themselves, Palace going from Glaziers to Eagles in the 70's, copied by Brighton as Seagulls, then Everton trying to shed the 'Toffees' to caling themselves 'Blue - boys' and 'Blue-noses'.

Worse still the soft internet generation names of 'Wet Sham', and 'spuds', a woke way of trying to be insulting without offending anybody.

Indeed, been the subject of more than one thread on here in the past. Palarse is probably my favourite just on it's own but then when you add Cripple it just unbeatable. Palarse lol. Palarse lol.  No But wait wait, wait wait wait.............................Cripple Palarse!!!!!

Deodorant marks on the armpits of your t shirts and shirts. I only seem to get about 10-15 wears out of my stuff before they show. Ruins black tops with white marks and on white tops makes the arm pits go Yellowish in colour, looks awful.

Persons who send me videos like this one:-

Apps that make talking to a human being unnecessary when ordering hotel room service but leave you with no option but to storm down to reception and have a go at the receptionist when no food or drink has turned up over an hour later despite receiving a jolly message exclaiming ‘“Success! Your order has been placed and will be with you shortly!” and a subsequent email confirming the cost has been charged to your credit card. This is a live ongoing example of the small things in life that annoy me.

American recipes. Been doing a lot of cooking since wife’s illness. Limited culinary skills if I’m honest. Often sends me stuff on Pinterest. Everything measured in cups and tablespoons. What about grams? Don’t get me started on ‘heavy cream’ which seems to be regularly included in healthy eating recipes. Too much flour in sauces and why tf call coriander cilantro? Give  me BBC Good Food any day. Oh and Jamie Oliver your recipes are shyte too.

Why? If you're a reporter or the political editor of, say, Sky or CNN, then you're the front person of a collective effort. Newspapers do the same thing ("The Times can reveal").

Saying anything other than "we" would be incorrect.

I guess what I am saying is that the small thing in life that annnoy me is people not really understanding how journalists/ism work.

Frequently oil the mechanism and it should quieten it down a bit.

Yours truly can reveal that we are not happy to be corrected for our expression of personal opinion. We can confirm that this is the feeling of all of us.

Shit face masks. So many horrendous efforts. Those black looking latex tight ones should be banned.

Fcking football club ones too. 
 

Although worse are the twats that won’t wear one.

Buskers in town centres with acoustic guitars that use amps.  Do it without the amp.  This isn't a concert.  The whole world doesn't need to hear you.

Drivers that shout 'cycle path' at cyclists on the road.  Do they shout 'field' when they overtake horses?

No, it's a warning to get out of their way as they are psycopaths.

I got shouted at for walking in the road on the way back to my house. Something about a footpath but that is the other side of a thick hedge and you can’t get access to it from the direction that I came.

Come on. I know that you are pretty thick but surely even you didn't need 30 minutes to work that one out. 😁

With you there. I’d understand if it was Songs of Praise or Gardner’s World but who the frig is getting upset by swearing at a football game?!

Lime-flavoured wine gums.

Butchering the English language such s pompously saying somebody in authority was "tasked" to do something eg make a decision. How about "authorised" or "required".

[Lighthouse]

People at the gym gobbling and clearing their nasal passages in the showers. I don’t mean just having a quick spit, I mean the guys who sound like Concorde taking off, with full afterburners. The guy in the cubical next to me today sounded like he had Ebola, I half expected a coughed up lung to go drifting along the drain at the bottom.

[Lighthouse]

People who have an Instagram account for their dog. Made worse if it’s all written as if by the dog in the first person. "Hi I’m Benny, a 3 year old labradoodle, I’ll be keeping you updated with all the fun adventures I get up to!"

My boss has one. It followed my scarcely used Instagram account. I didn't follow it back because I don't like dogs and I don't care what it's up to. Utter waste of time. 

Another one is parents making social media accounts to host videos of their small kids playing football. I expect it's a desperate attempt to have them spotted by an academy or get some sort of sponsorship deal.

Surely if a dog can create its own Instagram account then might be worth following

Looking at some of the females with social media accounts, there are quite a few dogs on Instagram and Twitter that are certainly not worth following.

This one happened agai n yesterday. Driving along the open road and somebody pulls out from an intersection forcing you to slow down when there is nobody behind you for miles. Why some people can't wait a few more seconds beats me.
