Hotels that tuck the duvet in, so that when you untuck it, it pulls the sheet out too.
Oh my god, this. Do they do it at home? Are they insane? Why wpuld anyone do such a thing?
People who fill all 4 bike spaces on a pendolino with unfolded buggies/luggage.
Why wpuld anyone do such a thing?
And and and...having done this abomination, then proceed to fold a point onto the end of the toilet paper! (Oh, occasionally checking under, and cleaning under, the beds wouldn't go amiss either...looking at you Maldron Glasgow)
Vegan friendly mineral oil..
See also, "plant based packaging".
As opposed to plastic, made from crude oil, which is made of old plants etc. Hence also plant based.
Define "based"? Recently based? Directly based?
Greenwashing in general makes me angry. "This lobby on the front of our supermarket was built to save energy and the environment!!!"
No it wasn't, it was built to save on your heating bills and was being done long before being eco friendly was popular a marketing tactic.
"Farm grown fruit & veg"
As opposed to what? Factory manufactured? Someone needs a punch.
Website pages that reformat seconds after they have loaded and shift the button that you were about to click on down/up, replacing it with an advert banner which you then click on by mistake.
the reason for that is it is a sign the room is clean and prepared for the next user.
Not always cleaned... 😬 (well, within my company hotel room budget anyway 😂)
Shop bought pizza where the outer 27.5% is just bare pizza base without any topping whatsoever.
Disclaimer: was too busy shoving it down my gullet to actually get disproportionately cross about it.
Pizza, you say? I had this once:
That's a lovely slice of entropy.
Tories breathing..
The old chap who just drove his car at me from a side road when I stopped when turning right into it to allow pedestrians to cross that road.
My neighbour who is out most weekends with his jet wash randomly blasting at things. Just seems an awful waste of water.
Sting and his inability to pronounce words properly when singing (upon the fields of varley, etc).
People that go through red lights at pedestrian crossings and nearly run down you and your dog and then have the audacity to speed off blowing their horn all down the road as if it was your fault.
Gotta love people 😊👌
Hotels that tuck the duvet in, so that when you untuck it, it pulls the sheet out too.
When I used to travel for work to the same hotel every week I used to leave a "please don't make the bed" sign scribbled on a piece of paper on the bed each morning so I wouldn't have to go through that pain every evening I was there. It worked well for me.
Managers that tell everyine in a meeting to do something, even though everyone says its a silly idea and wont work. The manager then goes on to say they agree its a silly idea and wont work but we should do it anyway as it came from senior managers that have never actually done our job.
Basically, middle managers without the balls to say "No, that wont wont work for my team."
Other people scheduling my teams work.
"this will be ready by Friday?" (the question mark is only implied out of politeness, it's entirely rhetorical)
"no"
"I'll put Friday to make the project manager happy"
"he won't be happy on Friday then will he"
Driving down our lane last night to find one of the fawns from the woods that my son and I have been filming over the last few weeks, run over in the middle of the road.
Pet dogs that drop biscuits underneath the sofa, causing ones partner to retrieve them only to notice that yes, there is dust and bits under the sofa, and then go into some sort of 24 hour depression about how we just don't devote enough time to cleaning the house and it's like a slum, when clearly it isn't, and obviously it's largely my fault because I like riding bikes and getting out, and doesn't appreciate my view that life is short and there has to be better ways of spending your time than ensuring that the under-sofa is immaculate and ready for surprise inspections by military drill sergeants with a particular interest in hygiene in never seen areas or something... 🙄
Looks like I'll be lifting that sofa at the weekend...
So yeah, pet dogs.
i work on an industrial estate.
The rude boi's use it of an evening to hang out, do drifts, burnouts and general hoonery. As a business, we dont mind this. its a quiet estate and rather them do it here than on a public road.
But what really boils our piss is the endless mcdonalds wrappers and monster energy drink cans they leave behind. Clearly a lower form of humans for consuming that filth in the first place... but come on, there is a huge biffa bin you can use (when not setting it on fire!). Why they do it... i dont know. Morons. Absolute morons.
we just don’t devote enough time to cleaning the house and it’s like a slum, when clearly it isn’t, and obviously it’s largely my fault because I like riding bikes and getting out
"Well of course, do you think I want to stay indoors in this shit tip?"
about how we just don’t devote enough time to cleaning the house and it’s like a slum
When I got my first paying job one of the very next things I did was call a cleaning company and hire a cleaner. I can't stand wasting time on it. In fact; when professional cleaners exist, doing it yourself is a form of scabbing.
Up the workers.
Conveyancers having paperwork for 3 months but waiting for the day it's ACTUALLY NEEDED to read it and go "Oooh there's a word wrong, we'll have to check that and it could take ages"
When I got my first paying job one of the very next things I did was call a cleaning company and hire a cleaner
Been through that. I think we both agree that we'd want to clean up before the cleaner came round otherwise what might they think of us? 😂
Well regarded technical brands that have crap diffusion lines. Musto for instance.
Restaurants/Cafes that only have QR code menus.
Yeah,I know,old person alert👍🙃

Nope, I'm with you on that one.
Do they serve food on shovels or pieces of slate or some other ridiculous item too? They can all get bent too.
That stupid show us the soles of your shoes thread….
TBH it’s an awful idea for a competition, totally lacking in imagination and must have taken all of 5 seconds to think up. Bloody ridiculous. It’s as bad as those stupid FB posts saying we’ll pick one winner at random to get this motorhome. Idiots then post how deserving they are despite that it clearly says a random winner - obv there isn’t a winner at all, random or otherwise so the posters are doubly stupid….
Falling out with my wife, because my 2 year old son doesn’t want to know his daddy (me)
Just watching Landward programme on the BBC, I'm thinking that this programme is made for morons. Shame as I like the locations.
People who carry on pilling stuff on the indoor recycling box until it's overflowing and then start stacking it on the sink drainer. See also filling the indoor food waste bin and then adding more to a bowl rather than emptying it outside.
My former employer. ****s.
Warm beer gravy, the ultimate insult when you've been given pub pastry toupee pie. Didn't even have the decency to re purpose a stew. Flash fried beef with a bit of warmth run through a pint and some bisto chucked in.
BBC Alba when the put on Gaelic speaking without sub titles but nick a few words of spoken English when they don't have the word in Gaelic
That stupid show us the soles of your shoes thread….
Diddums just bought new shoes have we so nothing to post a picture of 😉
Expensive sarnies with no filling...
Diddums just bought new shoes have we so nothing to post a picture of 😉<br /><br />
🙄 Ha ha, very funny! Pretty sure I could rustle up an old pair that have knackered soles if I tried, as could most people. All my shoes go on garden duty after they’ve reached the end of their useful life for other stuff so I’ve got several pairs that fit the bill. Anyway my point is it’s an unimaginative competition and has ended up as a highlighted thread containing three pages of pictures of the bottoms of peoples shoes. Where’s the interest for everyone else? They might as well have emailed in and then just posted pictures of the ten worst or something. Probably just me that thinks that though. I’d have at least said they must be pictured out where you ride or something…🤷♂️
EDIT - just seen that @milesf0 has done just that. Well done that person! 👍
Me, in a shop just now: "Just that, thanks."
Guy behind the counter: "Anything else?"
Well, maybe if you were actually doing your job rather than ****ing about with your phone then you might already have the answer to that question.
People who carry on pilling stuff on the indoor recycling box until it’s overflowing
I mentioned this in an earlier post I think. Putting things on top of the recycling bin - which is empty - meaning that not only do I have to dispose of your shit but I first have to move your shit out of the way in order to even get at the place where your shit should be.
and then start stacking it on the sink drainer
Similarly, dumping to-do washing up in the sink rather than next to it, so that in order to actually wash up it all has to be removed again. Often with a side order of fishing about in the farage for the plug in order to drain it all first.
Both are literally creating extra work for no reason I can fathom and it drives me spare.
Son in year 11, we've got a thing at school starting 5:15 to do with 6th form stuff. He texts me to ask if I can pick him from school, 15:45 so he has time to get changed and stuff.
I come down stairs 5 mins ago and he's sat there still in his ****ing school uniform eating Weetabix!!!!
These tiny white flies, like midges, that appeared last week, millions of them, you cant go outside for 5 minutes without itching
Online companies that send you a dispatch email with a tracking number when they have zero intention of actually getting the parcel to the post office for a week. Yes you've logged it on, well done you...now how about actually posting it?
Quiz shows where the host says "Good guess but it's wrong" Well it's a shit guess then as if it was a good guess it would have been right.
That Braverman says one particular flag may be illegal but many flags of purely terrorist organisations are not.
As a 'creative', people who expect you to work for nothing but exposure.
A bloke came to me recently, wanting an enormous vinyl record storage wall building.
Ceiling high vinyl storage, 2.5m wide with a huge pull out surface into which he wanted all his decks, amps and mixers etc sunk into.
Cool job, but a very big job, needing very strong materials and some over engineering considering he wants a 2.3m wide pull out section in one piece, housing lots of heavy audio equipment.
I build a quote up and the materials alone would be well over 2k. I estimate 4k upwards for me to build and install it, and that's being fairly lean on the time it'll realistically take me to build such a big piece.
He comes back saying, he only wants to go to 2.5k but that he would happily promote me to his 157000 followers on Instagram.
🙄
Or just point him in the direction of screwfix and the local timber merchant 😀
The first post in my German cycle group evey ****ing time.... without fail.
Helmet?
And no, its not "Helmut" who is riding
Parking at Bike Park Wales.
being awake, and people that expext you to act like youve slept in a week
Also doctors that wont give you sleeping pills, the non addictive ones, in case you get addicted, or because they make other people go sleep-driving/shopping

Don't wish to make light of your struggles with insomnia but Jesus half the country appears to be sleep shopping. Just walking around a shop at I would consider normal pace I'm very aware that I'm moving twice the speed of everyone else. And when I'm subsequently close to or moving around these other people I have to out of politeness slow down to their ambling pace which I maintain takes more effort than walking normally.
It never ceases to amaze me how slowly people amble through life.
When I was a teenager I figured the problem was mine, it was just my youthful vim and vigour. I'm in my 50s now and I still want to hoof people out of the way. For ****'s sake, how long does it take to buy a pint of milk? Walk to shelf in a straight line, pick up bottle, **** off. But no, they're in a haze, waggledancing down the aisle at a pace of which any slower and they'd be going back in time. One person blocking off a corridor three metres wide is a special talent.

Yep, happened to me. Admittedly it was a Sunday morning, but It's not like I'm moving like Flash (tm) I pretty much had to come to an emergency dead stop not to walk into the back of a bloke shuffling out of Tesco Express.
t never ceases to amaze me how slowly people amble through life.
If you ever get to chiang mai,thailand, the Sunday Market shopping street is one of those places where yo'll lose all hope, as the shoppers move from stall to stall,at snail's pace, in one impenetrable mass, like a packed concert where youll never get through to the front. A 2 minute walk takes at least an hour
Being an adult makes me disproportionally cross.
So much stuff I want to buy for my hobbies but I have just spaffed £650 replacing our tumble dryer. How can I possible get excited about a new tumble dryer?
Drivers who fail to stop before the solid white line at traffic lights but drive a metre over it before stopping.
Cyclists that cycle across the ASL box and then stop in the pedestrian crossing, too far forward to see the lights change. Either jump the fing light or don't!
Food recipes that say thinks like:
1 medium potato
That's really no help what so ever.
Food recipes that say thinks like
Add chilli/seasoning/garlic etc to taste.
I don't know, thats why I have attempted to use a recipe to tell me how much to use.
waggledancing down the aisle
I aspire to be this person...
Come on try harder!
Food recipes that say thinks like:

You’ve seen a small potato.
You’ve seen a really big potato- one that’s made you say “wow, that’s a BIG potato”
You are fully equipped to judge ‘medium’. It’s not that crucial: if it was they would not have been vague!
This week I’m annoyed at the parking around Jr’s school. I mostly try to ignore it - it’s woeful but I can’t change the behaviour of fifty other parents.
But now people have started parking on the double yellows *even when there’s spaces free*
So they can park in ‘their’ regular space
🤯
Saffron, in recipes.
It's ridiculously expensive and does/adds just nothing. I never bother with it in anything that's asked for it and it can do one quite frankly.
Screw you saffron!
Come on try harder!
You’ve seen a small potato.
You’ve seen a really big potato- one that’s made you say “wow, that’s a BIG potato”
I'm not letting this go...
In the context of making say a spanish omelette for 1 serving...
Smol potat
Chonky powtayto
2 examples of a 'medium ' potato...but one could easily be twice the weight of the other, or is one of these classed as small and the other classed as large?

Pizza shop down the road does pizzas in small / medium / large.
What's a "medium" pizza here? 9"? 10"? 12"? I've seen small pizzas the size of the plates you'd get a bread roll on, and large pizzas that have to be tilted at an angle to get through the front door. Throw me a bone here.
Throw me a bone here.
What size?
Peter Bone ?
Movies, specifically having to sit through 5 minutes worth of numerous production companies logos/adverts before the film starts. JUST GET ON WITH IT AND START THE EFFIN MOVIE!
I wonder what film has the most?
It never ceases to amaze me how slowly people amble through life.
This is the main reason I shop online. Supermarkets cause me to meltdown with pure rage. Full to the brim with gormless bastards shuffling around and smelling funny.
People who make a third lane on wide single carriageways i.e. overtake towards oncoming traffic. Especially in the rain and dark first thing in the morning. You might be happy to accept the risk of a head on collision at 60mph to save 5 minutes but the rest of us aren't and don't get the choice.

Speak to your council, councillors and/or community policing team. Around our way they have been very good at sending cops/civil enforcement officers around to pickup and dropoff to ticket people.
Senior people at work expecting you to work on work related thing when not at work. Or come in early/finish late for the same. Mention the fact that there are a finite number of hours in the working day and you get looked at like you have three heads! Seriously, when did this become a thing and why should anyone put up with it?

I've had this before... apparently saying 'if you pay me the same wage you are on, you can call me out of hours to sort things out' is unprofessional and 'not being a team player'.
unprofessional and ‘not being a team player’.
There's no £ in TEAM, Matty.
Coupe SUVs
Just being near one in traffic elicits an episode of swearing and spitting at the inside of my windscreen that is wholly disproportionate. I saw a Merc today that made the transit connect in front of it look like my son’s baby walker! And the * prat driving it had the driver/passenger windows limo tinted. * me. And breathe..
