Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]

[castex]

"Have you signed up your boy for rugby, or...?"
Or what?
Hello?
Are you asking me a question? If you are, make the effort to finish the sentence. Please note that I don't mind concise.
Are you implying that signing up for rugby is the thing to do and that the alternative is unthinkable? Say so.
Are you too lazy to complete your utterances generally? Never speak to me again.

Perhaps they were being polite.

"have you signed up your son for Rugby or do you think he's a bender?"

"or are you some of those anti competitive sport parents?"

Possibly.

"have you signed up your son for Rugby because he's a bender?". Plenty of repressed gays playing rugby. Lots of manly contact, then there's the showers and changing rooms...

Indeed there are.

I watched the game of origin (or whatever it's called) between NSW and Queensland. It's the first time I've watched a match all the way through and was shocked at how tough these guys are. Punching, head butting etc.

My mate told me six times the difference between Union and league and I promptly forgot five seconds later, hence the reason he kept having to tell me.

Great game and makes football (soccer) players look like gay whiny thick nob ends. (I don't follow soccer)

Queensland absolutely mashed then by the way. "Unprecedented historical win"

I worked in haulage offices for 20 years. Never once did I ever hear any staff call the vehicles lorries. It was always trucks.

I went to school with two lads whose Dad ran a haulage firm. When I mentioned "lorries" they used to take the mick and talk about trucks. When I changed to using that word, suddenly they only referred to them as "wagons". Gits.

Absolute dheads who seem to think that just because it's warm and sunny outside, it's ok to wheel out their stereos and start playing loud music. I don't want to listen to your stty music so switch it the fk off! Bunch of wkers.

We have an ahole at the back of us who does exactly this. He has been told umteen times but still we have to listen to his crap. And it's all the old cheesy 80s hits. Once you have heard "Wind of change" five times it does wear very thin.

Inflating, cleaning and filling the paddling pool at the request of my three year old who then decides he wants to use the water to water the garden. No. Just no!

A great change of track there from a problem that could lead to a lowly civil prosecution (statutory nuisance) through to the genuine macabre disaster of broken biscuits. Excellent work

It's all about the biscuits man.

To the two tossers that backed into my sons friends car this afternoon in the Ramblers Rest car park Chipstead, in a White Mitsubishi Shogun. You were witnessed hitting the car and then getting out of your car pretending to put a note on the car then driving off.

We have your registration details and witnesses.

May your balls fester.

It always seemed to be the case if someone (usually staff in the despatch department of a customer, or a freight forwarding agent) had a conversation with you about lorries, it became apparent very quickly that they didn't really know what they were talking about.

This reply has really made me chuckle. Especially with regards to the people who feel that no discussion is allowed on posts to this thread.

I don't think I mentioned that no discussion was allowed. Just recounting what I recall when someone started talking about lorries in the context of my job.

Same applies to motor racing, action on track, or last lap and they cut to the pit garage. Stop it, now.

A spate of media types pronouncing Sinai as sy-nee-i; it just sounds wrong, although some desultory googling suggests it is an alternative pronunciation.

Not being able to do overtime tonight and finish a contract before midnight... need a pot man to refill the blaster whilst I clear the last 20 square feet... No available help = No early completion bonus for me

I think you're completely misinterpreting what I meant.

This thread has a history of some contributors quite belligerently maintaining that no discussion is allowed and that voicing one's annoyance about something, no matter how bizarre, is sacrosanct and cannot be questioned or discussed.

I just thought it amusing that you were able to so comprehensively shoot down someone's "annoyance" which turned out to be built on the shaky foundations of utter bks.

Ah, sorry i did misinterpret. To this day I still cringe for some reason when the word lorry is used rather than truck. I suppose it annoys me beyond reason!

Wind of change was a hit in 1991
