Those seam welded clear plastic packaging you get on some smaller items from shops to avoid anything coming out of them.
Usually it takes a hacksaw and chisel to cut the 3mm thick plastic and will result in injury in the process.
Oh and whinging/pedantic bastids. 🙂
People who blame things on health and safety or political correctness when its nothing to do with either.
lol@decimatedgate
Double posting gets my goat, too.

The irony being the items involved are invariably something like a chisel or a hacksaw.
Some of the people on here who gang up on someone asking a fairly innoccuous question and end up being rather offensive in the process, just because "the OP didn't know / understand".

Lots of things on here, but one that happened the other evening: following a car out to the pub, gets to the twisty downhill bit to the village where the pub is, and the driver, who's only doing 30mph where I used to do 50 in a C-reg Nova, starts hitting the brakes at every slight deviation from a straight road! Grrrrrrr. Learn to ****ing drive, you pussy. I've followed drivers in Mercedes sports cars who do the same: crawl along at 35 in a 50/60 limit and touch the brakes at every slight bend. Fer Christ's sake, buy a Micra if you're that scared to drive. Morons.

Another vote for that - it really does my nut in - especially as it is breakfasttime, so patience is spread quite thinly as I try to wake up.
Showing my age with this one:
Hair!
That suddenly seems to want to grow out of your ears, eyebrows and nose but for some reason decides not to, on your head, where you actually want the darn stuff!

People who use cutlery like Edward Scissor Hands and who lick knives.
You've created a trail from scratch and used for years just as you like it. Then some twunt comes along and discovers it then decides to hack trees out to make it faster in their opinion and build jumps along it.
Why don't they build their own ****ing trails to their design next to the discovered one or add to it at the end.
It's not ethical to mess with other peoples trails.... Grump 🙁
If I can taste your aftershave/perfume at ten paces, you've got too much of it on...

if you're going to quote a source supporting your point of view, at least choose one which does that! LOL!
People who cannot use Latin correctly; The plural of ignoramus is ignoramii.
Hook, line and sinker! I new someone would fall for it!
"Ignoramus" means, in Latin, "we do not know"
It's already plural as a singular English word, and as such in English therefore needs a distinctive plural form, as for example with the word abacus, whose preferred plural form is abacuses
the alternate plural for abacus is abaci (one i)
ignoramii (with two i's) could never be correct, unless there was a tribe from the non-existent province of Ignoramia (as in the Helvetii, from Helvetia, or the Nervii, from Nervia
The term 'swap out' instead of 'swap'.
Deliberate misspellings such as 'Kwik', 'thru' etc.

What's the cut off line for a skint person? a packet of beef monstermunch?

So how did you find yourself "non skint"? wealthy parents?

Random braking on motorways / dual carriageways
That'll be people not knowing how to turn off their cruise control without dabbing the brakes. Which is something that REALLY gets on my whatsits!
Prefixing nouns with the letter "i" to imply that they are fashionable and cool.
OK.- So whats the cut off line for a 'skint' person ? Living in the first world, modernised with a full wellfare system in place, then in my opion , a 'skint' pertson is one who cannot afford for example, take-aways, meals out, holidays, a car, a tele, petrol, nights out in the pub, christmas presents, has social security loans, and assisted housing.
As for how did I find myself non skint?
Its non of your effin business but fyi... try dead parents, who were not 'rich' by Surrey standards, we did not have a car for many years when i was a child, nor a colour tele, we rented a B&W, Mum and Dad both worked hard, Mum had 2 low paid jobs, Dad was a account clerk at an Insurance firm. Got a lucky break when they had the oportunity to buy the flat they had rented for 25 years from the landlady. PLus i work hard, manage my finances , do not live in a debt fuelled bubble, and i am good at making do.
Its people who say "I'm skint", who basically aren't , or the other classic ' Im starving' really, Is anyone in the UK really starving ? It is petty and in most cases not true.
Whilst i am at it , Pregnant girls who smoke..... makes me angry.
If you not understand the [i]PLAN AHEAD[/i]let me explain. There is no other form of planning is there. You simply cannot plan retrospectively , ie , for somethink that has already happened.

[b]As for how did I find myself non skint?

Ah, but it is, you filthy hypocrite....
PLus i work hard, [b]manage my finances , do not live in a debt fuelled bubble,[/b] and i am good at making do.
So,you are included in
.people who have to 'Plan ahead'
Are you a petty insignificant thing that pisses yourself off?
People who stick their elbows into my airline space. Like the guy sitting next to me, in fact ...
Ah, but it is, you filthy hypocrite....
I am sorry, Dumbing down in the education obvious means that you are not understanting exactly what i have typed.
People PLAN .All planning is in the future, therefore adding the " Ahead" is unneccessary.
At what point am I being a hypocrite . The thread is about things that piss you off, like improper use of language eg.- bought and brought, I get annoyed by people who claim to be ' skint' , when they cleary are not. Skint peole have to watch every penny, and cannot afford many of the luxury items, like computers and the internet , that the majority of STW members enjoy. You are not skint, I am not skint.
Your replies and arguements are random and unfounded. You do not know me, as alot of people on here do, so please do not judge and hurl insults willy nilly.
Whatever
At what point am I being a [b]hypocrite[/b]
When you suggested there's something that pisses you off about people who "have to plan ahead"...and then you spent several posts singing your own praises for doing just that.
And also here..
I am sorry, [b]Dumbing down in the education obvious means that you are not understanting exactly what i have typed[/b].
Which suggests I made more of my education than you did.
There's no point in getting angry, that would just encourage me.
?
I'd also like to add this. The idea that "skint people" with an internet connection or a mobile should be a source of irritation to anybody is a bit of a steaming pile of shyte. Spend a day working in a jobcentre and you'll soon realise that both are a prerequisite for applying for work or being "on call" and instantly available for all the crap jobs an agency may throw your way at a moments notice. Unless of course you would prefer the unemployed to spend every waking moment under house arrest waiting by the telephone and only able to apply for the out of date jobs listed on the jobcentreplus "jobpoints" and the five or six agency jobs advertised in the local paper that require an emailed cv. Of course though there are a lot of people taking the piss. I've seen it first hand.
Also, please don't make assumptions as to my finances, or include me amongst the STW "bretheren". It's not a club I would wish to join.
People that use the term "shambles" to mean a bit chaotic rather than a bloodbath or butchers.
People that say "the net" or worse, "have you got the net" as if it were a disease.
People that say i.e. when they mean e.g.
People that say "the hoi polloi".
Pedants.
People that don't know the difference between disingenuous and ingenuous.
People that post things they don't really mean.

You know what? you're correct. Major assumption on my behalf. I stand corrected. I'm of the belief that it takes a [b]great man[/b] to admit that he is wrong.
"Urban" myths.
The little shite kicking the ball outside and those people who get up early and stick those stupid happy birthday notice/pictures on lamp post then then can't be arsed to take them down the following day.
