The small things in life that annoy you

[Lighthouse]

Ah but do they always annoy you. I mean today I'm hacked off about Hampshire's batting and Clermont's fly half but those are things that change all of the time.

 

At the moment it seems they do. They've both managed to drag a one off problem out for about 6 months.

The same problem or one each ?

No, different problems. I haven't crashed my car into a telegraph pole.

People who claim injury after a 5mph minor car shunt despite the fact that said person has pictures on her Facebook page enjoying herself in the gym the day after the accident.

Ambulance chasing claim management companies; our car was damaged in a car park whilst we were shopping in Lancaster, at the time it was hit we were having a cup of tea in a cafe, yet we still got the obligatory "were you injured in your recent accident" call.

Well you might have spilled hot tea onto yourselves due to the visual shock and the emotional stress.....

And to think our parents and grandparents survived 6 years of global conflict without so much as a tenner in compensation..

Going for a s**t in the toilets at work without first checking that there is paper in the dispenser and subsequently discovering that there isn't.

[Whitey Grandad]

People who say "should of", "could of", "must of" etc

 

 

People who say "etc" because they're too lazy to think of another example.

I used to have a Screwfix catalogue, which made do in an emergency but these days it’s been replaced by an app, which I find less effective.

A pedantic never sleeps.

 

 

Do we?

[LGTL]

Taking your first mouthful of a pizza after waiting 5 minutes only to discover that the tomato base is still hotter then the ****ing sun and still skins the roof of your mouth.

[Ohio Saint]

A pedant, you mean a pedant never sleeps . Lucky I was awake to catch that!

[Batman]

People in the supermarket who have zero self awareness on where they leave their trolley whilst they doze at 'things' on the shelf.

[Whitey Grandad]

That's not what I typed! (and I did check at the time)

 

Add auto-correct to the list of small things that annoy me.

Restaurant tables that don't sit flat on the floor and have to be wedged with beer mats.

I think it’s part of the tendering process of any shopfitter.

Good bands whose most famous song is, in your opinion, their worst and gets overplayed. Plenty of examples for us to disagree on:

 

R.E.M. Losing my Religion

London Calling, Rock the Kasbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Clash

[whelk]

Fat people who breathe noisily

[whelk]

People when parallel parking move into the next space and they way more room so ineffect taking two spaces as space they leave is useless as no one can ever get into

[doddisalegend]

My teenage children...

London Calling, Rock the Kasbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Clash

Correct.

 

Everyday is like Sunday (Morrissey).

Your butler twisting his ankle and having to rely on agency staff.

[buctootim]

Wet, pinko, liberals who give their staff time off when ill

[badgerx16]

The BBC website weather forecast - how can there be a "low chance of precipitation" when the weather icon clearly indicates 'light rain' ?

[stknowle]

Surly waiting staff.

[Saint WGC]

Councils or whoever it is who have the bright idea of putting pedestrian crossings 50 yards after a roundabout. The natural thing coming out of a roundabout is to speed up then you have to hit the brakes and risk someone slamming in the back of you!

[RonManager]

Vapeing - it's always that sickly strawberry smell that stays in your nose for hours afterwards after you've walked into a cloud of it. Aren't there any other flavours like fresh petrol or freshly spread silage on a newly ploughed field?

[mickn]

Idiots who drive around with their dogs on their lap

Is there a roast lamb flavour?

The **** at work who decides to milk the work absence policy for every drop of time off and then claim he can only do light duties, at work, while the rest of us have to work extra hard to cover his lazy arse.

[Lighthouse]

People playing music, TV shows and games on their phone/iPad in public, without using headphones. No I don’t want to listen to your Spotify playlist and neither do the 10 other people sat in your vicinity.

[Batman]

when going through a zone covered by average speed camera's (50mph), drivers who drive right up your arse and try and push you out of the way whilst you are doing 50mph....and they fly past.

 

surely, they get penalised by the 'system'?

Used to see this all the time when I was working on the road.

 

People speeding along in these sections of road, slowing down for the camera and then speeding up again. Clearly oblivious to the importance of the word 'average' on the signs. Idiots.

[Smirking_Saint]

People that do not know how to use lanes properly on the motorway

 

People that don't say thanks when you open doors for them, move out of their way etc

 

People with ****e bar etiquette

 

People that don't get out of the way when people are driving faster behind them, generally seems more prevalent when speed restrictions are in place.

[Smirking_Saint]

Wet, pinko, liberals who give their staff time off when ill

 

Why wouldn't you ?

 

Use to tell the lads to **** off out of the office if they had a cold, why risk making the rest of the office ill just to let them stay there doing a half assed job

[shurlock]

Not knowing which side the bagging area is on at self-service checkouts.

[hypochondriac]

Wet, pinko, liberals who give their staff time off when ill

 

Staff who know the sickness policy and so are off the exact amount of time before it triggers a disciplinary.

 

Staff who call in sick on a Friday but then go to a Spice Girls concert and stick it all over social media that evening.

[badgerx16]

Staff who take time "off sick" when their manager is on holiday, and are surprised by the reaction when they bump into the manager at a local family leisure amenity.

[whelk]

Staff who go sick and then drive in the middle lane of the motorway listening to tinny music on their phones

Zlatan f**king Ibrahimovic.

 

Of all the people to score the winner against us in a cup final. He's hardly alone in being hopelessly in love with himself and thinking he's hilarious, what I don't get is why so many fans think he's some sort of legend.

Erm, because he is a very good footballer.

 

 

People that think arrogance is a bad attribute in a sports person

He was up against Cack Stephens that day. Of course he looked very good.

Double parkers.. not a cold mod but a style of car parking becoming the scourge of out time

 

Double parkers, double parking where there is space beside where they've double parked...

 

Double parkers, double parking where there is space beside where they've parked and opposite a junction. That's just dangerous you pr**k.

People who park right outside an entrance waiting for someone just because they are too lazy to use the short-term parking provided 20 yards away.

 

Outside Southampton Parkway station for example.

[trousers]

People who can't hold a plastic bottle of water without making a 126 decibel crackling noise every 12 seconds

Posters who give players silly names to try to be funny/popular....

Temporary road signs giving advance warning of closures that are still there later and three months out of date.

[Kenilworthy]

When you are coming up to a set of traffic lights on green and then the driver ahead slows right down because they don't know where they are going. They then speed off as the lights turn red, leaving you stuck to sit through the next cycle.
