    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. 🙂

    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".

    Here goes:

    Everyone in a supermarket, would you stand in the middle of the pavement and block me walking by?
    People who give way to other vehicles, for no reason other than they have time to burn.
    People moaning about the weather when they drive everywhere.
    Drivers on the phone.
    Radio 1 between the hours of 10am-7pm.

    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 **** 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.

    People who do their shopping at the Tescos petrol "shop" when it's really busy.

    Letter boxes that are really difficult to post anything through due to their stiff brushes.

    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!

    One for parents – those plastic ties used to hold a plastic toy to its packaging!

    Movie trailers that make a crap film look good!

    A good cup of Tea that goes cold.

    Last one, with some relevance – Cyclist who cycle towards you on the wrong side and force you to move to the right to pass them?

    Dog owners who drive their dogs to open spaces simply to empty their bowels and then load them back in the car to return home. Seen it in about every car park I have been in.

    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 **** 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 you look carefully you'll see there two little speaker icons, one offering your incorrect version and one offering my correct version

    if you're going to quote a source supporting your point of view, at least choose one which does that! LOL!

    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.
