People that, with the slightest whisps of morning mist in the air, put their fog lights on.

People that in thick fog or heavy rain still don't put any lights on at all.

Or at dusk when everybody else around them has their lights on. Why should they?! They can see where they're going just fine thanks. Twunts.

Drivers applying their brakes when they are almost parallel to 30 or 40 limit signs. Do they ever look further than a few feet in front of their windscreens.

OK. Thanks for pointing that out. No need to get all upset over it.

When you are waiting to cross a pelican crossing and a car pulls up to a crawl (when the lights are green for them)....

This really really annoys me.

I think they think they are doing me a favor, but the ensuing confusion between driver and pedestrian is just an accident waiting to happen, especially on double lane roads.

When you go the extra mile for a customer, digging out a load of information to help them, then they try and beat you down on price to the point where you'd make a loss on the sale, then they get abusive because you won't accept their offer as you want to actually make a profit so you can pay the rent, eat etc.

[Stuck In A Lift]

The misuse of 'know' and 'no'.

Not sure I no the difference anymore...

When you make the effort of not using plastic carrier bags at the supermarket to be a bit more environmentally responsible and they ruin it all by giving you the equivalent of a small forests worth of vouchers, and rebate for your NEXT bill along with a three mile long reciept !
Reduce ya prices or knock it off my bill at the bleeding till , its bad enough having to sort out all the excessive plastic and cardboard packaging without adding all the paper as well .

That I've been "asked" to do a "professional" photoshoot for two family's kids the same as the ones I've done for mine and no offer of payment had been made for what will be 3 hours of my time setting up and taking photos, nearly 2 hours of travel and probably 2 hours of editing.

It's for my partners step brother and stepsisters kids and her dad and stepmum so I'm duty bound to. Apparently.

A friend who I did the same for supplied chocolate and wine at least.

Bah.

Two lanes merging into one, everyone taking their turn to change lanes, every driver letting one car in front of them...

So why after letting a car merge ahead of me did I have some numpty, right beside me, indicators on, edging closer, when there's tons of room behind????

Wait your turn bellend!

Same here too - as an IT consultant I know **everything** about all computers. No. I don't. I haven't even looked at Windows 8 nor do I care about it but I am asked all questions about all computers and have to help.

Not to mention that I know why every website ever doesn't work. And can explain how security is implemented on all websites. No. Don't know and care less.

Give me a nice simple data centre every time....

Having to pull out the O/Halfs Hair out of the blocked bath and sink drain plugs....Yuck!

This - and trying to explain that the kitchen sink is NOT a waste disposal unit. Leftovers from dinner will NOT magically disappear just because they're down a hole and out of sight.

This. I've got a sink drain thing - When you empty the bowl, sometimes it dislodges the drain thing, all you have to do is hold it down for a moment when the bowl empties - NOT for it to be dislodged and all that food empties in the sink. I do so enjoy cleaning it out.

And while you're at it - metal cans of beans and st do NOT go in the fridge. Use one of the millions of plastic containers that are in the cupboard NEXT to the fridge.

And people that leave things out of the fridge. Put them back. For the love of god, please...

This is what I am going to be dealing with shortly post washing dishes. Not me, obviously... What the juddering fk...



I did the photoshoot today. I will admit that I didn't put my heart into it, the kids I was shooting didn't want to be there and the parents didn't seem to care - The ones I took look good (more editing required), at least their mum (grandmother) was very appreciative.

Fun day all in (!)

Joys of life ey!

Downton Abbey. Everything arrives through that knowing 2014 filter. Every character straight from Gosford Park, just that they changed a couple of the actors. Oh and Robert Altman was busy. Pity.
Emmerdale knocks this into a cocked hat.
Don't ask me how I know.

People who say 'Cut and Paste' when they mean 'Copy and Paste'.

Did you get anything for it? That'd piss me off royally if not.
