MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Picture the scene… You’re on a campsite in one of the most beautiful and remote places in the uk, you’ve arrived just as the sun is setting, you’ve pitched your tent, you unfold your chair and open a beer. It’s getting darker, stars are starting to twinkle…Your phone beeps, ooh it’s an Aurora amber alert, amazing! You think about staying up to see if there’s a show, then…
The campervanerists on the next pitch come back to their van, unlock and go inside, doing so apparently brings on an outdoors strip light on their van THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE!! WTF IS THE POINT OF THIS KIN LIGHT WHEN YOU'RE ALL TUCKED UP IN YOUR VAN?!
Stars gone, I’m in my tent typing this and it’s almost daylight in here.
UTTER THUNDERC***S (not thundercats)

Rolled oats on top of apple crumble "for texture". The texture I want is crumble, just put it in the oven as God (I) intended don't add flipping texture.
Honestly I was pricing slabs.
^^^^ mmmmmmm love the tasty rolled oats on top of a good apple/plum/blackberry crumble. The OH puts almond flakes on too, which I feel my position is leaning more toward tolerance than an experience of deliciousness.
Arseholes that piss all over a toilet seat rather than getting their dainty little paws dirty lifting it up. Would happily piss all over every soft furnishing and piece of clothing they own, see how they enjoy wallowing in someone else's piss.

It's a Beta passive aggressive thing. Living in a household ruled by women, it's their little act of rebellion, pissing on the seat where there's no danger of the wife's wrath 😉
Dogs and their owners again.
I was sitting watching an otter hunting this morning. Dog owner brought two big dogs to the beach and scared the otter away
Usual oblivious behaviour. Many times i have had wildlife watching spoilt like this
We have 4 car parking spaces at work reserved for visitors. Each space has a sign that says "visitor" on it. Every day all 4 spaces are filled with cars belonging to people who work here. No idea why it winds me up so much but it really irks me.

If it is a slot type then a Yale type door key works. Just don't forget to take it out! If it is the draw type then you need a coin or token. Just leave one in the car glove box
Council close roads for tarmac repairs but you're within 2 miles of your destination before the first sign causing 10 mile sometimes more diversion
If the councils own workforce is doing the contract it takes 3x longer than contractors
If it is the draw type then you need a coin or token.
If it is the draw type then you need a pencil. Coins and tokens are for the drawer type.
#DisproportionatelyCross
I work with furniture, and it's amazing how many people spell it draw instead of drawer.
There are two factors as far as I can make out:
- Many carpenters are strong on maths/spacial concepts, but weak on literacy
- English people don't pronounce 'r' so it does sound like 'draw'.
Carpenters or joiners strong with maths aye right the only reason most can square is due to their OSB sheet keeping them right or their metal 9" square
A2+B2=C2 goes right over their head, maybe not maths but arithmetic
Can't imagine many able to understand geometry
– English people don’t pronounce ‘r’ so it does sound like ‘draw’.
Wait, shut the front door. You're telling me people pronounce it "draw" too?
I'm in the North West of England, we only have one vowel and most consonants are optional, but even I'd pronounce the R. (OK, I grant you there are other casualties, it's closer to "drore" but hey.)
People who call xyz dudududuh.
Trying to buy shoes on the Internet and the vast majority of sites don't have a photo of the top of the shoe, making it impossible to see the actual shape of the shoe. Then the very few places that do have a top view, have it the wrong way round; my feet face away from my body so why show me a photo of the shoes facing towards me?
When Pringles have become un-nested in the pack.
People who call a bottle a Bidon.
And hills “bergs”.
F*****ts on facebook who are constantly posting memes about how they are "surrounded by idiots", and similar trite bollox. Whilst consistently overlooking the fact, that they are shining beacons of idiocy themselves. All the self awareness of a Greggs sausage roll.
The bell end who parked his VW id5 on pump no 5 at the garage this morning then went inside and did some shopping.
Loads of parking spaces adjacent to the forecourt about 40 yards from the shop.
Car drivers who pull over the pedestrian crossing. Then when the green man comes on, and you're crossing, attempt to run you over. Thunderc****
See also, stoopid idiotic utterly selfish drivers, with small children in child seats, driving at speed looking at their laps and texting.
People saying it's 'miserable' when it's just raining a bit.
In the self service restaurant on the Brittany Ferries from Caen. Just seen grandma and grandpa change the nappy of their grandson (confirmed) on one of the tables with people alll around eating their breakfast.
We already had all the brown sauce we needed with our breakfast, thank you. We moved well away.
People who slob about in scruffy sportswear when they are out and about in public. Sadly the phenomenon has reached epidemic proportions. .
Memorial balloon releases. I'm sure the sentiments there and they mean well, but all that shit has got to land somewhere eventually!
@mattyfez Agreed, I had a 20 minute wait for Wreckfest last week, only play it once in a blue moon though so should have expected it.
I don't think that's disproportionately cross at all @halifaxpete You wouldn't have a memorial dropping of litter but that's what balloon releases are. Helium filled foil balloons are the worst, gggrrrrr!!!!
Push your ****ing chair back under the desk when you leave the office you lazy shitehawk! I mean is it really that hard? It's got sodding WHEELS on it! Oh no, much better to leave it randomly in the middle of a place where people have to walk through and push it out of the way for you!
****ers
Weather forecast for today: Heavy showers, some sunny intervals
Weather this morning: heavy showers, some sunny intervals
I put the washing on the airers inside rather than outside.
MrsMC insists it might brighten up, the forecast might be wrong - I show her the rain radar showing heavy showers coming our way for the next couple of hours.
I go downstairs to get a drink in between meetings - the washing is on the line, pissing wet through in the heavy rain.
Every ****ing time.
Helium filled foil balloons are the worst, gggrrrrr!!!!
On a scale of 1 to Disproportionate, Chinese Lanterns have to be the worst. All the fun of helium balloons, only on fire.

I'd be pushing it well out of the way. Like, down the stairs.
Height restrictions in Imperial units.
A garage I saw in St Ives last week had the height in both metres and feet and inches, but the height was marked as 1.9m and the imperial written alongside it said 6'3"...D'you feel lucky?
There's someone at the practice who keeps leaving their dirty teacup on top of the lockers by the back door, when I catch whoever it is, I will sack them.
the height was marked as 1.9m and the imperial written alongside it said 6’3″
Is that wrong? The difference is 5mm (0.2 of an inch). You'd have to be feeling pretty lucky to cut it that fine anyway!

Launch the teacup out the door. No more issue.

Myself and a colleague removed the factory fitted roof rails on a Transit Custom, to get in the height restricted part of a hospital carpark.
After we had done this, it just fitted.
Of course, by then a space was available in the area with no height restriction.
Had we just waited, no space would have become available, as is the parking in London rule.
The rampant misuse of the word myself. Here's what you should remember: If you didn't already say I in your sentence, you cannot use myself.
Stupid webforms that require date of birth entry but don't auto-shift the 'cursor' to the next box...FTLOG it can't be that sodding hard. It's the 21st century - I should not be expected to have to use the tab key, mouse, or heaven forbid, actually tap on the next box on my phone screen. ?
Surname fields which don't accept apostrophes or capitalisation of more than one letter. Have the coders never heard of people of Irish ancestry?
It's borderline racist, that's what it is!
Grammar Pedantry.

Indeed. I was writing web pages which intelligently moved focus between fields in the late 1990s, it's not rocket surgery.
Surname fields which don’t accept apostrophes or capitalisation of more than one letter.
I'm of the mind that name fields should generally be a single free-form box which says "name." There are plenty of cultures which don't use the firstname-lastname structure and when do you need one but not the other? Chances are they'll just get concatenated to print an address label anyway.
Mandatory "title" fields can get in the sea as well.
Grammar Pedantry.
Should be "Grammar pedantry" unless intended to be a title.
Unnecessary capitalisation*

I blame the Germans.

As opposed to grammar pendantry, which was my nan's necklace collection.

Then there's PEOPLE who randomly capitalise WORDS in their sentences. I often wonder if they SPEAK like this too, yelling words AT random mid-sentence.
You're all invited to Grandma's Grammar Pantry, BTW.
Royal Bastard Mail's "fee to pay" cards! I've had 2 of them this week, 1, because my ol mum has eaten into their profits by sending a card £1.50 short on postage.. but its not that! It's the recipient who gets the punishment... It can only be a punishment, becuase they have to print, label and stick something on the card that they POST THROUGH THE LETTERBOX! Isn't it just as easy or easier! to post the bloody item through the letterbox??? PLus my mum's name and address was on the back, so go to her for your desperately needed £1.50! Dicks

There are and, they. Do? it. WITH punctuation, and?
Also in.. pacing their. Speech too.
I call it 'Christoper Walken' syndrome.
It’s got to be Cougar 😉
I wouldn't be surprised.

I remember an article by Dara Ó Briain complaining that the Aer Lingus system wouldn’t except his name, the Ó being the issue
Would they accept it instead?
There are and, they. Do? it. WITH punctuation, and?
To a degree at least, I can put this down to phone keyboards which insert a full stop and a capital if you happen to accidentally double-tap the spacebar. (Of course, it's easy to correct if you actually look what you're doing.)
That Mrs. Brown’s boys is considered superior to Ghosts by those who voted for the NTA awards.
The fact that Mrs Browns boys was considered worthy for broadcast.
Being informed that I am correct in identifying that I am indeed not a robot.
As if I was in some doubt.
Being informed that I am correct in identifying that I am indeed not a robot.
I came across a story a couple of weeks back, someone had developed an AI which talked to another AI. In order to establish contact, there's a CAPTCHA-a-like where they prove that they are indeed robots...
I hope they get a patronising green tick too.
Lazy non-blue badge holders parking in disabled bays AND parking shockingly. It’s the combination that creates the disproportionate crossness.. some fat * earlier landed his Range Rover (obviously) at a good 30 degrees to the lines while his missus went into the shop, engine running throughout. If you’re going to be a * fair enough but at least attempt to park in a proper fashion, the bay is big enough FFS!
Danish white bread.
We live in an age where, with a box of tissues, you take one out and the next one cheerfully pops up behind it ready to be grabbed after a surprise attack sneeze. This is not new technology even, I've known it all my life.
So why is it so zarking difficult to get the first one out of the box? Despite careful picking, what am I supposed to do now with the other five?
the bay is big enough FFS!
That's ****ty parking for sure, but I'd contest your point on the parking bays. The average size of your average car has been creeping upwards on average year-on-year, yet we're still designing carparks designed to house your average 1960s Austin Mini. If I drove a large faux-by-four I'd probably choose to take up two spaces myself (though I'd have the grace to do it at the back of a carpark rather than straddling two disabled bays).
The use of the word average 4 times in one sentence must be a deliberate attempt to make readers' brains twitch.
I deliberately did it deliberately, yes.
That’s ****ty parking for sure,
This should probably belong in a thread called disproportionately happy, but my local sainsbo's has double lines between spaces which in theory make it fool proof.. At least it would but you still get Chelsea tractors parking over the lines on occasion even though the car would still fit between the lines if they knew how to use a steering wheel or had any spacial awareness...
Increasingly, facebook. Used to like it a lot for keeping in touch with friends all over the world but also used various groups as an alternative to the forums (many of which inevitably died) but the groups especially seem to be becoming a minefield of scammers and utter cretins to the point where I've removed myself from half the groups I was in this morning and left myself in a tiny handful which are carefully managed. That said, I can see a point very soon where I bin it off completely - did the same a few years back with instagram where every time I went on it, it just pissed me off (and I don't miss it in the slightest) and facebook is rapidly going the same way.
Yeah Facebook is just awful these days...
I still have an account purely for a handful of people and local interest groups but other than that it's just pure spam and advertising.
@mattyfez " but my local sainsbo’s has double lines between spaces"
Shrewsbury, Meole Brace?
Facebook purity gets rid of a lot of the dross and restores a semblance of usability to FB. Only works on a browser though and not on the app on your phone.
"I deliberately did it deliberately, yes."
Nice, I like your style.
YouTube. First it gave me a free trial of premium. It's quite nice not having 5-20 second adverts all the time. I now miss those 5-10 second adverts, as mine, following the end of the free trial of premium, now provides me with 25-40 seconds of adverts before and during the watching of videos. 🙁
