Yeah, but nail salons????
Genius bit of marketing, surely? You're a laydee, and probably spend time getting your hands dirty with maintenance or riding. QED!
[i]looks at nails[/i] Hmmmmm, nail makeover or shiney new bike bits . . . not rocket science is it? 😉
Some spotty kid whose mum still does his shopping putting your fresh meat in with dairy products
Meat and milk together??
Just not Kosher, is it? 😐
Why? Does it climb out of his head in the middle of the night(I totally understand why it would do that), get on a train from Manchester to London, rock up to your front door and whisper through the letter box "let me in Fred, Let me in" or something?
Yes. And it's most annoying. 😐
I'm going to shoot it with airgun next time it happens.
I'm amazed that masty fanny gets through the day without exploding into a big white sticky mess...such is the quantity of little things that annoy him. **** knows what would happen if a big thing annoyed him. Maybe we'd get a thread about it, eh?
This thread is entertaining, keep it up folks! 8)
w*nkers in petrol stations who wait till they can use a pump thats on the same side as their filler cap.
Right there with you, with the caveat that sometimes it's great cos you can just use the 'wrong' pump and fill up. However,
in addition to the above, our local tescos has one of the greatest inventions of the last 100 years 'pay at the pump', SO why do evenmore ****s still go into the garage to pay
Because, I have a fuel card and the auto-pumps don't take those. (I don't get free fuel, all my personal mileage comes off my wage, but I still fill up using a fuel card.)
Little things that annoy you but really shouldn't
The fact that I'm up at sparrowfart tomorrow (er, later today) to go to an incredibly high profile meeting, and I'm still up eating a sandwich when I should've been snoring about four hours ago. That's annoying.
mamadirts rancid nails. ;o)
Telesales who obviously are based in India proceed to tell you that there name is Peter or Richard. DON'T LIE ! .All hope of trying to sell me something has gone straight out of the window.
People who say 'peeps', yes some people do still say that
Shirts with button down collars
People still using the phrase 'credit crunch'
People saying 'I'm starving' when they haven't eaten for maybe an hour and they really mean 'my stomach doesn't feel full so I want to eat.
People who say they 'need' something when they mean 'want'.
Private number plates related to car make/model - 'tt', 'vw' etc

FTFY
Long menus on phone systems. Parcel Farce for instance:
Firstly I'm going to waste your time & money making you listen to a ridiculously long disclaimer and tell you that your call is being recorded for training and timewasting purposes. Then I'm going to give you over 9000 options with the one you need right at the end.If you would like to speak to an advisor about our 'exciting' new range of eco delivery services press 1.
If you would like to speak to an advisor about our 'exciting' new range of 'high speed' delivery services press 2.
...
If you would like to speak to an advisor about a problem with an existing item press 9001.
Followed by:
All our operators are busy, please call back another time.
Or when the phone just suddenly goes dead without warning - even worse 👿
Private number plates in general. Stupid.
Decking - really hate it
Adverts with made up pseudo-scientific names for the 'magic' ingredient - mostly women's cosmetics - Boswelox - wtf is that!
Or adverts which quote rubbish statistics - 75% of women agree this makes them fool themselves into thinking they look younger out of a survey of 3 people - possibly due to placebo effect.
Or adverts which are factually incorrect 'Titanium - the hardest metal known to man' on a Gillette advert some time back - no it's not, and it doesn't even use titanium, you mean titanium dioxide - which isn't even a metal you xxxx!
Actually - adverts mostly
the ad that claims 'you'd need to give youre baby 10 gallons of cows milk to provide its RDI of iron'
small print at bottom says 'cows milk is not a natural source of iron'!!! wtf morons.
And molgrips, they most certainly werent listening. At least until I pointed out what a useless c$@t he was. At this point he couldnt be more helpful. Too late sunshine, this ship has sailed.
When a thread gets tantalisingly close to 200 posts then stalls.
👿
cant believe nobody has mentioned lolcats yet?
kisses for everyone!

Ahhhhhh - my OCD is fed. Thank you.
anytime I aim to please
Inappropriate use of the word "organic"
Newspapers saying "sources close to ...". In other words we made the next bit up to make it sound more interesting.
People who leap up as soon as the aeroplane stops, usually just before the seat belt light goes out and grab all their belongings from the overhead locker as if it means they will get off the plane quicker. If I'm in an aisle seat I just carry on reading my book and the person in the window seat is usually half stood up with their head touching the overhead locker. You can feel the stress rising as the plane starts to empty and I'm sat with my seatbelt done up.
If anyone reading this is sat in 4A on the 0715 from Manchester to LHR in the morning don't be in a hurry when we land 😉
+1 for rushing off the plane
Especially for long haul flights, as if getting off the plane 30 seconds earlier matters in the course of a 12 hour journey, when you are going to have to wait for your luggage anyway.
Plus why do people, when there is a massive queue for check-in, only start looking for their documentation when they get to the desk? Where they surprised that they needed it?
Oh and on the news when they say things like 'the car lost control' or 'the car skidded off the road' as if it was all the fault of the car and not the person driving it.
The guy sitting across from me on the train at the moment. If he makes one more call to discuss databases and running scripts he's getting his phone rammed up his dbase.
Those who having obviously been stuck on the train for 15 hours (20 mins ?) must light up the second they get outside the station.
Or on the way home, they must stand at the station entrance (Glasgow Central is terrible for it), having a last drag whilst simultaneously blocking the frickin entrance and forcing me to walk through a haze of carcinogens !
Can you guess smokers annoy me ?
Oh and the Japanese have the right idea about taking a very dim view of mobile phone use on a train. " OH LOOK, ANOTHER LIFE OR DEATH CALL ABOUT WHAT'S FOR DINNER !" AAAARRRGGGHHHH.
Large children standing in shopping trolleys (not little ones in the proper seats)
unnecessary complexity
And Robert Peston's bloody doom-laden smart arse voice
Especially for long haul flights, as if getting off the plane 30 seconds earlier matters in the course of a 12 hour journey, when you are going to have to wait for your luggage anyway.
Always just wait for everyone else to get off, then you can have a scout about for stuff they've left behind, like duty free, cameras, music players, passports... Bonus! 😀
Telly's use of Intro by the XX.
Yes it's a good track, use something else please!
****ts walking down the fing street texting and not looking where they're going. I just stand in front of them now 🙂
