that **** who insists on sitting in the alotted seat number on their ticket on an otherwise empty train, even if it means sitting next to me or asking me to move!

Could be that they know the train is going to get busy at the next stop and don't want to move again?

Conversely, people who put their bags on the seat on a moderately busy train in the belief that it'll stop someone sitting next to them. It won't, because I sit there solely to piss them off.

Crisp eaters on trains. Actually, anyone who eats crisps outside of their own home generally.

People who clink their cutlery against the plate.

"Enthusiastic eaters" - you know, they enjoy the food so much they almost throw it into their mouths.

Slow walkers.

People whose football team is their entire identity (they'll often use "we" in this regard).

Brexiteers.

People that don't undestand what the word incomprehensible is.

So, whilst I don't condone theft in any way I can stil comprehend why people steal.

I find it really annoying when people put their bags on a train seat and leave it there as the train fills up -, but I assume it's to stop people sittign there or they are simply oblivious.  Again, not incomprehensible.

Now, the appeal of watching Love Island, I'm a Celebrity etc - to me, that is incomprehensible.

Watty sed > Build BUILD Build

I find it incomprehensible that nobody has successfully challenged the oft-repeated claim that building houses will solve the housing crisis, when those with the money are still buying them as investments while those who previously couldn't afford a home still cannot, and developers aren't going to build at a rate that causes prices to drop.

I'm off to Starbucks wearing my Sunday-best necktie to give it some serious earnest discussion with anyone using a fancy laptop to browse facebook.

Or just leave the leaves where they are. Moving them at all just seems silly. Inventing a blower to do so is just even dafter.

Maybe they need to be moved from paths and pavements so elderly people (or anyone) don't slip on them when they get wet.
I find it incomprehensible that you didn't think of this 😉

Never ever seen anyone using a leaf blower on a pavement. Just idiots blowing them around gardens and driveways. Never slipped on leaves in over forty years. I stand by the fact they’re a ridiculous invention.

Leaf blowers aren’t just for leaves. I’m a gardener on an 80 acre private woodland estate, I’ve been using a big backpack leaf blower for 2 hours solid today to clear leaves, pine needles, half devoured pine cones, cut grass, hedge clippings, uprooted Himalayan balsam, sawdust, wood chippings, and other brush cut debris. Happily sit and watch you use a broom but I would leave you once it gets dark. They’re also good at getting a fire going like a rocket engine

So you can't comprehend such a thing as a typo?  Or I could have been  dislexic (I'm not, it was a typo).

Thanks for reinforcing my point by proving you don't understand what incomprehensible means though.

Actually, on the subject of spelling and the like...

Something I don't get at all is people typing in a dialect (for want of a better term).  I get people shorting words in text speak (seems daft outside of texting, but hey).  So using m8 instead of mate.  But making up spellings so they look like the way YOU pronounce the word just doesn't make sense to me.
Typing "polis" instead of "police".  Or "reyt" instead of "right" (or if you must, why not use "rate" or "reet" depending on what it is you're trying to say - to ne honest I'm not 100% sure on  that one).

So, yeah, making up spellings for no good reason - I find that genuinely incomprehensible.

Some people write online in a kinda phonetic text so what they've written is less likely to appear in automated search results.

Yeah, I’m not a gardener so I’d just be leaving all that shit where it was. Don’t understand the need to move it

Typing “polis” instead of “police”

I can help with that one, quoting from here:

The Polis is a govrenment organization that is gien speicial leecence tae enforce thair govrenment's laws agin different kynds o wrang-daein. Polis men speirs oot thiftdom or murthers an wairds heich-gates an ceeties for tae mak siccar that fowk daesna gang agin the law. The biggin thay wirk in is for ordinar cried a polis station.

Tailgating lorries like the chap on the A508 this afternoon. So close he had to keep braking despite the lorry not doing so. No visibility, no chance of overtaking, absolutely moronic.

People writing "none c when they obviously mean" non".... Happens far too often for it to be a typo, especially when the "e" is an added extra.

Did they not learn about "magic E" in primary school?
