The Toys R Us jingle. The one they've been using for years and still use.

It doesn't scan, or rhyme, and has never done so either. It annoys me beyond reason.

Going to an unlicensed restaurant with a crowd. I am being asked for £10 to put into a whip to buy alcohol. There is a Tesco almost next door, I going to pop in and pick up a 4 pack of Carling. Why the fk do they want to do a whip.

Oh and in Tesco for £10 you can get 15 cans.

I'm sure you'll have a cracking time, you party animal. After all, your attitude is spot on right now!

I wish they were having it on Monday as I have the day off.

A whip?

People who 'chat' and congregate at the entrance point of a supermarket. That's always quite annoying.

And I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but on the theme of supermarkets, the people who get angry at the self-service tills. Although I have to admit, I have got frustrated a couple of times, nothing is more annoying watching someone try and use the machines incorrectly and then blame the machine.

Another thing, people who try to exit superstore car parks via a 'no exit' section, then throw their arms up at you when you try to turn into the path of them exiting the car park. And then more annoyingly when they back out of it and you try to gesture 'one way' they then give you the W sign...Love that.

Which finger are you using to indicate 'one way'?

My broadband speed is 28-31mb - But when I VPN in, it's as low as 2, which is what it is today, thereby defeating one of the main reasons why I opted for fibre broadband in the first bloody place

I agree on the way the media are spinning it but it is a genuine meteorological term.

People that harp on about the "bad weather", especially in social media - not to mention those that use the Daily Mail or Express as their sources.

It's bad weather. It's winter. It'll be cold.

People in restaurants that put salt on their food before even tasting it. Don't you think the chef might know a thing or two about seasoning food correctly? No, of course not. What does he know. Best smother it in salt from the off to prove that you know best.

'Tards.

This is nonsense, as is the habit of saying "'Tards' like an American teenager.
People have different tastes. Some people like more salt in their foods than others, so if you know you are one of them, then you will know that the chef will not have salted the food enough for your taste.
Amazed at your anger over something so commonsensical.

Yeah but "beyond reason", bruv. Surely anything is allowed in here?

Has someone been watching an old episode of Chef starring Lenny Henry? Because I remember one episode where he had an an extensive rant about "Auto-Condimenters" to a customer. It was marginally more amusing than your rant, and given that it was Lenny Hendy that doesn't exactly reflect well on you.
