People in the supermarket that lean on the trolley as they walk.
Seeing London Routemaster buses driving down the M2 in Northern Ireland
(they're manufactured here, but it still looks weird)
I get a bit dizzy if I think about how big the universe is!
^^^^ this.
How far 'back' does it all go. Freaks me out thinking about it.
And people who wear woolly hats whilst sweating in a hot gym. WHY???
The great British Winter Weather
Go to the top of Snowdon on a very clear day (rare). You can see Cardigan bay and the Lleyn stretching out below you. Because you know the outline of the coast from maps and you can see it infront of your eyes, if you really concentrate you can visualize the true size of the earth.
Also works for other high places preferably near the coast.
Lead singing drummers.
I'm looking at you Paper Lace.
😯I'm looking at you Paper Lace.
Blokes who wear scarves without a coat... whats that all about?
Overpriced items ...
Obvious is obvious. 😮
Chewkw.
Blokes who wear scarves
Come to Germany.... It's like metrosexual central... It's no wonder they lost the war....
When you think about blinking, like count how often you do it, become aware of it.
People who seemingly rush to " pull out" in front of you only to then go dead slow or even stop.
You do know that they are members of a club? And that they are all in touch with each other via CB radio?
Driving down a country road when the car in front stops to let a horse and cart pull out of a side road so that we are now stuck behind it.
Quite German d specific but parents who wrap their kids up as if it were minus 5 despite the thermometer saying 10+C....as it was today.
People not saying thank you for holding the door open for them...
People not saying thanks for letting them out when driving through town.
People with 4K bikes who obviously only ride to the shops and back.
People who think I'm going to say "yeah, go ahead mate" because they've only got a few items to pay for....
Ok, this is just turning into general whining now 🙂
People who like their steaks cooked more than medium rare.
And restaurants that ask you how you want your steak cooked and then bring you something well done anyway. If your going to charge me £15, at least employ someone who may have learned to cook at some point in their lives.
crisp packets and anything that is sealed in a bag. I cant for the life of me open them without scissors nowadays.
Where is the on off switch .. its a standby button only.
Sugar -- apparently its going to kill us all?
whip me nae nae 🙂
Handball.... Did you know the handball European world cup is currently on and the Germans are in the final? No, nor did I till the GF told me this evening she's meeting her mates to watch the final.... Roll on the six nations....
Men
Men who wear scarves.
Men who wear scarves and nothing else.
Baby's. I know where they have been for nine months. No way in hell am I touching them without gloves.
[Ok, this is just turning into general whining now]
Ok. Fair enough. Here's one then: morpheous loops.

Talking to other people.
Water. In all it's forms from ice, steam or just in a glass. The weight and magnitude of an ocean or large lake. The power it can have. The feeling of rain to the simple cool glass to quench your thirst. Not to mention the value to life.
Beautiful stuff really.

You know, part of my job is running tours of our university, for applicants and parents. When talking about the sports centre, clubs and societies, I always go through the highlights then say "But they're all run by students so if there's something you're into that's not here get a couple of likeminded people together and start one. Even something random like kabaddi"
You would not [i]believe[/i] how many kabaddi players there are.
I wear a scarf
Beautiful stuff really.
Also an extremely bizarre and strange substance - we're just so used to it that we don't notice. Quite possible life would not exist if it wasn't so strange.
I like my scarf, I feel the cold at my age you young uns will find out one day
Cornflour with water mixture. It's solid AND liquid. Science-breaker.
Buses that aren't red and return bus tickets
Cornflour with water mixture. It's solid AND liquid. Science-breaker.
It's not both at the same time. It's not a science breaker at all, just a non-Newtonian fluid. Like ketchup.
Snoods.
Door handles that lift up - like the ones on uPVC doors, where you lift the handle to lock it.
It's like watching someone who's double-jointed.
Even something random like kabaddi"You would not believe how many kabaddi players there are.
had to google it.... wtf... like some weird, slightly homo-erotic school boy game of tag.

pull your collar up.
Drivers who think that the rules of the road suddenly don't apply if they're dropping their kids off at school
I'll second the left-handed golfers one - even though I'm left-handed I play(ed) golf right-handed. I feel like I need to watch the TV in a mirror every time I watch Phil Mickleson play. It's just wrong.
And left hand guitarists..
I find them hard to watch.
White underpants.
G10 light fittings.
Morecambe.
Otherwise sensible people who are religious.
Quickpar. How can you repair ANY part of a damaged archive with the same blocks? Black magic.
People who say "I haven't had an explanation" when they actually mean "I haven't had an explanation I understand/accept/agree with"
This winter's weather.
Why is it (usually) much easier to stay upright on a moving bike than a stationary one.
Computers in general
People who stand still on escalators.
People who think that busy doorways/entrances to things are a great place to stop for a chat.
Groups of people who prop the bar up preventing others from seeing what ales are on tap instead of buying a pint and finding a seat.
Men who wear scarves and nothing else
Not sure if I'm curious or concerned........ 😕
One of my old schoolmates. He's right handed but when playing cricket (or any other racket sports) would always bat left handed.
