Petty annoyances

People who say “different tact” Not only is it wrong, it’s usually said by people who don’t have any tact at all, let alone some other different tact to try.

Skiing.

Spending a week to slide down a hill to be carted to the top and do it all day ?

And as for Langlauf…. its like Scalextric on skis…… never again.

A weeks ski spending = new bike ….

The pathetic bird noises at Norton Canes service station toilets, HTF are you supposed to coil on down with that going off !

I’m developing a growing irritation with the concept of grape scissors.

people who write Thunder and Lightening.

You can switch the annoying cow off at Tesco self serve tills , bottom center button press to mute.

Pond feeders who drive too fast in supermarket car parks. Frank Williams isnt going to roll out in his wheelchair and offer you a F1 seat because you made the tyres squeel.

Idiots who pull in 1 car length in front of you on wet motorways, so you are blinded by their rooster tails , when the nearest car behind them is 1/2 a mile away.

Londoners/cockneys who call Birmingham “Burnamum”

Absolutely everyone in this thread:

Including me

Scottish independence Referendum threads.

The use of the phrase “man cave”.

I find that quite pathetic.

This thread is starting to get on my tits.

So negative.

Two roadies I saw in the Purbecks yesterday. Riding two abreast on a country road, with a double decker bus crawling along behind them, followed by at least ten cars. Tools!

People who say refuge bins when they mean refuse.

People who leave their refuse bins out on the street all week and the others who have nicked my last two glass and plastic ones.

Junk mail that the RM “must” deliver.

Junk mail that the RM “must” deliver.

I now put junk mail in an envelope with no stamp and send it to the sender’s “contact us” address on their web site. Matbe if everyone did that, cheap mail shots wouldn’t be so cheap.

threads on STW where English people who live in England and don’t get to vote in the referendum tell me a Scot living in Scotland how awful life will be when we go for self determination

Driving home, turning off the main road just before the village beacuse that’s how you get to my house when I get stopped by someone telling my I couldn’t go that way becaose of the “cycling event”. Arranged through the council? Nope Police notified? Nope. Any official notification whatsoever? nope. just thought you could close the road without telling anyone ? Want to know what i think about that?
EDIT on second thoughts, I don’t class that as “petty”

The phrase ‘running’ context; mountain bike parts.

Your not running them, your using them.

Fannies.

Anything for yaou cupcake

You should be praying I don’t find out where you live you ****ing vegetatable

People that post:

Wunundred!

Audi’s, especially the more expensive ones, always driven by cocks. White ones, even more so.

Nissan Almera’s, especially green ones, always driven by people in no rush what so ever.

Being disturbed by a phone call only to hear that long pause before some twonk starts trying to sell me something I don’t want.

Wish washy parents who allow their offspring to run riot seemingly oblivious to the havoc, noise, disruption to others made by their little darling.

Telesales people who insist on finding out if you’ve been having a good day and so on before they try and flog you some rubbish you don’t want.
I DON’T KNOW YOU, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW YOU. HURRY YOURSELF UP.

One more thing, unsubscribing from an email mailshot list which immediately sends you another email.

The use of +1 to signify agreement

This thread is starting to get on my tits.

So negative.

+1

When the film trailer guy says numbers rather than the date.

eg. Coming February fifteen.

It’s the 15th, you clempit.

People who say “my bad”.

Oh, and people who talk in Scott Mills idiot language, and say “off of”, rather than “from”.

People beginning a sentence with “Reason being”. What’s wrong with “The reason is” ?

(Yes, I know…)

That’s a valid point about Norton Canes why go on a toll road to speed up the journey, then stop for an hour for a brew ?

I’m sure it’s also one of the busiest in the country.

Over-stirring driven clinking of teacups, as is happening presently.

Posters outside shops that say something along the lines of “Apples and oranges, 25p, your choice”.
Of course it’s my choice!! I’m not going to go into a shop and then be told what to buy, FFS !!!

Morrisons self service tills ….the least reliable device ever made.

Over-stirring driven clinking of teacups, as is happening presently.

Y’see this is petty and perfect! By any chance is the over-stirrer also bashing the spoon from side to side from some kind of morbid fear that there may be a dead-spot of unsugared, unmilked* tea lurking at the bottom of the mug?

*verbing: “Can you milk my tea..just a little please?”

People at airport security that get to the front of the queue and only then start thinking about taking their computer out of the bag, their liquids out of the bottom of the suitcase, take their coat off. And how deep of a cave do you have to live in to not know that you can’t take bottles of drink with you?

Also .. and I’m looking at French people here … what sort of idiot gets to the front of a supermarket queue and then starts rummaging in their bag for a cheque book? Oh yes – the same idiot who’s now casually bagging their groceries while yakking on their mobile.

CFH

The guy in front of you in the queue that…wait for it…puts his elbows on the counter. Then sometimes cranes his neck round to look at the computer terminal. 😆

You’re in for a long wait.

I’m sitting at the puter trying to think of a petty annoyance, unfortunately i can’t think of one.

Bloody annoying.

People trying to sell you stuff and starting their pitch with ‘What it is right’.

Oh, and people cutting in at the bar when you’ve been waiting ages to be served.

Ahhh! When the barman/barmaid calls you first even though you just got there, and you say “This dude/girl here’s been waiting longer” and they say “Ok, thanks” and serve them instead then another 500 people before they come back to you aaarahrghagrhgarhgrah
