[Closed] It's been a while - Small things that grind your gears

Men who use purses.

Posting your own thread in the wrong forum 😡

Those extending dog leads and the pillocks that don't know how to use them! Grrrrrrr.

Mine is butter related. The wife hacks at it like she is removing the hands and teeth of one of her victims.

What a mess.

People who use the spoon in the sugar to stir their tea.

The WORST however is leaving cardboard packaging in the fridge once the contents are gone, or close to going.

If there are less than 4 probiotics left then the packaging should be removed. This is The Law.

People who say "can i get" instead of "can I have" 👿

Sand?

Toast crumbs in the butter/spread gargghhhhh!

In reference to your other recent thread, do you really want to decommission your bollocks for somebody who has such little respect for the Anchor Spreadable?

Muller corners or milk based desserts of any description.
Vests.
Unnecessary shouting.
Hats worn indoors.

😆 @ HtS

No it's been a lifetime irritation for me

The person at work who when tapping at the keyboard, performs a flamboyant swing of the arm like a pianist.

The phrase 'grinds my gears'

Men who use purses.

YES. Or men that fish coins out of a little pocket in their wallet. Otherwise known as A PURSE.

Men who sign off texts with a kiss. Some of my mates do this and it drives me nuts. While we're at it: men who have smartphones, men who use facebook... christ, you can understand why everyone's missus is running off with Kirk from sales.

Cheers,

Kirk

"haitch"

Smileys and any form of text speak. Only OK if you are a teenage girl.

"Haitch"

What's a haitch?

I've got a vest on as well 🙁

Or men that fish coins out of a little pocket in their wallet. Otherwise known as A PURSE.

So where exactly are you supposed to keep your coins, then? 😕

Drivers who stop at roundabouts when there's nothing coming from the right.

People who say "can i get" instead of "can I have"

That seems to be virtually everyone now.

Drivers who stop at roundabouts when there's nothing coming from the right.

Surely it's "May I have"?

In your trouser pocket. Like a man. Instead of standing at the bar hunched up like a rodent squinting into your purse.

😉

People who use "edit" instead of video

In a pocket they jangle around and fall out when you sit, I keep my change in a Oakley sunglasses cleaning bag

Haitch = How numpties say H

Bags of dogs mess hanging off trees or fences - if you have taken the time to bag it, bin it.

General littering - there seems to be a growing 'someone is paid to clean it up' attitude.

Driving whilst on the phone and this strange seatbelt set up where people have it going under their armpit rather than across their shoulder - whats that about?

Chickens, the way they walk and the way they peck at stuff..

They scare me.

In your trouser pocket. Like a man. Instead of standing at the bar hunched up like a rodent squinting into your purse.

Instead you end up squinting like a rodent into your hand. Bah. And for those of us that like to change clothes regularly it's even more of a pain.

...and your trouser pockets wear out.

[quote=jambourgie ]While we're at it: men who have smartphones

So that's pretty much everybody apart from me

Some posh trousers have a little pocket inside the main pocket and jeans have a little coin pocket.....

Yeah, I was perhaps being a bit ranty about that. As I found out last time my contract came round for renewal, it's actually quite hard to [i]not[/i] have a smartphone. I'll narrow it down to those that are always dicking about with them/being precious/showing others their new apps etc etc. Just keep it in a case in your pocket on silent, and only get it out when you're on your way out of the building to make a call.

Stop buying pants with crap pockets.

Christ, do I have to think of everything? I can count the number of times I've had coins fall out of my pocket on the fingers of one foot.

As for a drama when you change trousers? Fish it out, change, put it back. The only time you'd have a problem is if you had too much change, maybe if you spent less time fannying about with a girlie purse you'd actually get chance to spend it occasionally instead.

Come the revolution, I tell you.

sorry but this is rubbish - i can never fit my fingers in these to get anything out.. tried it and hated it.

if that sums up for you what is a man, wow..what a pathetic bunch you are!

eidt: cougar i thought better of you..

edit edit: i use a wallet made for notes and cards. it has a v small compartement for coins, which i use as here is switzerland they use cash alot..hence lots of change.. im never however hunched at the bar like a rodent as its put up there..^^

keyboard warriors the lot of you

The one or two on seemingly every flight who insist on carrying on multiple items of luggage, the largest of which clearly wouldnt fit in the maximum size checker thingy, then tut loudly wandering up and down the aisle looking for an empty overhead bin and throw a hissy fit when the poor stewardess asks them why they didnt check it in.

"Haitch"

I like a good haitch - shame to loose it. A simple an easy sign that the person you are talking to can henceforth be safely ignored as irrelevant.

I don't have a girlie purse, it's an Integrated Wallet Solution (tm). And I always have it with me, a lot easier than fannying about moving coins from one pocket to another.

Bags on seats on trains - in particular my morning train as I get on at the last stop. I always ask someone who is avoiding eye contact to move their bag so I can sit down.

Swarf.

Scabies

The people at work who leave the kitchen in a mess. They're clearly too important to clear up after themselves.

People who say "my bad". My bad what for goodness sakes?

Sand in my vagina.

So where exactly are you supposed to keep your coins, then?

If your skirt doesn't have pockets, just leave it loose in the bottom of your handbag ?

People who don't have the decency to say please or thank you.

I thought the etiquette was to pay with a fresh note at every visit to the bar and return home with approximately £30 in loose change......obviously in your pocket.

People who say "can i have" instead of "may I have"

taxi drivers who use their hazard warning lights instead of indicators

so Mr. Taxi Driver, are you turning left/turning right/stopping/about to perform a U turn or have you broken down?

eidt: cougar i thought better of you..

I may not have been entirely serious.

Besides, I have a man bag so have no room to complain.

the edinburgh defence

I'm not quite that Northern. Or argumentative.

no-one is that argumentative

Drivers who cant reverse into parking spaces, and drivers who reverse out of driveways onto main roads.

Train pasengers who ask me to move my bag of the seat oposite so they can then bang knees and legs against me and breathe their germs over me,the bag is on the seat to stop that.

Women drivers who use the mirrors on a car to do their hair and makeup.

Poeple who still think the condems are doing a good job of the uk plc

People who I know a quite well off answering all of those "Post a comment for a free bag of air" posts on Farceboak. I'm not sure why but I get irrationally annoyed.

Well paid footballers who pretend to be injured after being even looked at by another player.
If I was a manager I'd say, 'right, every time you fall down & hold your leg & cry, I'm fining you 50K'
Pussies!

People who say pants when they mean trousers.

Men wearing hats inside.

People who say edit when they mean film. Especially older blokes who are trying to sound 'hip' and 'trendy' etc.

The phrase 'have a listen' makes me wince as to listen is a verb so it is therefore impossible to have a listen.

Oh and the use of 'plane' when they mean aeroplane or aircraft. Planes make wood smooth.

Luggage with handles and wheels towed by a 'man'. If you can't lift and carry your luggage for 20 yards between car and airport trolley, you've got too much stuff.

People who say 'simples'.

sand in seaver's vagina

having to add your own salt to swarfega to make it like to used to be made. Average without, great with. Not an issue really, just a bit annoying. Although it could be I have a weird variant.

I agree about the reduced effectiveness of Swarfega.. And it is bloody expensive. Try laundry power to de-gunk your hands!

add some salt, it's great then. Proper 80's style. Try to use latex gloves now mostly. Thanks, might try that at some stage.

Man bags.

It's either a brief case, laptop bag or a rucksack. Maybe at a push a messenger bag if it's a proper one and your on a bike. If it looks like a woman's handbag, it's a handbag.

Coffee.

When I order an americano, I want an americano. No I do not want milk, I'd have ordered a flat white if I wanted milk. And it comes in three British sizes, small, medium and large. Not short, tall, grande, venti. I've no idea what your menu means because I didn't go on the "barista" training course like you did for half a day.

I could go on, but my blood pressure is on the rise.......

People who say "off of".

Yoots who half wear a wooly hat and / or sunglasses inside. Its not cold inside , we dont live in the 1900's , we have a wonderful thing called central heating , Why is the hat mostly off your head anyway?
If you move at anything more than a glacial pace your silly half on / half off hat will fall off anyway.
You are not in 1D
You resemble benny from Crossroads.

People who have their **** nav stuck right in the middle of their windscreen !

ITS NOT A BLOODY HUD !!!!

Following someone the other day and she had to slow down every time she had to dip her lights because she couldn't see out the windscreen because of the glare ! I could read it behind her !!!

And also,

Red light jumpers !! Even started doing it myself a few months back, after witnessing so many near misses and noticing how many people were also doing it I decided to stop immediately and learn to be patient again.

Oh so many many many things - although most can be grouped under the heading "showing an utter lack of respect for others".

Currently top of the list is having a disembowelled rat dropped onto my head whilst asleep.

Man bags.

That Mr Anderson is the sound of inevitability.

Men that wear Scarfs without Coats

Oh Jesus yes. That one as well.

Sort of covered already with the bag situation, but in the past few years there seems to be a need for loads of people to take a a wheelie case to work, and a small case at that.
Carry the wretched thing, it's only got a notebook, packet of monster munch and a kit kat inside.

There will be more to add..

People who put photo's of their dinner, etc, on Facebook. Divvies.

People persistently saying "infer", when they should be saying "imply"

AAAARGHHH!

People that go into a cafe/coffee shop and say "can I GET" instead of proper British language like "please could I have" .
Man bags let the man race down,wait that's 2 things......I could go all day,don't get me started.

Ok, I'll bite.

I'm a geek, my trousers are at capacity. What alternative options do you suggest?

New to me but this evening, in the supermarket, I saw a chap in shorts, flip-flops, wearing a,heavy, sweatshirt under a down gillet [i]and[/i] a scarf. Mrs Sox had to drag me away......... 👿

my trousers are at capacity.
