When people mix units.

An electrical draughtsman just asked me about something, quoting a dimension. "One metre four hundred mil."

fk off. It's 1.4m, or it's 1400mm. Don't even fking start me on centimetres, they have no place here!

Yet it is still common for people to quote their height in feet and inches

Mass hysteria and massive media hype annoys me.

It's sad when anyone dies, whether by natural causes or murder.

I was just thinking that this morning.
Over £1m raised (for what I don't know), If she'd have asked for that when she was alive it wouldn't have happened, I dunno why people feel the need to throw money at stuff like this.

Completely baffles me too. Perhaps they feel guilty that they are still alive and she's dead?

I get that the media feel the need to play it up, and that the government need to take it very seriously (it could have been any one of them) but normal people? Or maybe they aren't normal?

Perhaps it's like a big grief club and lots of them want to join not because they are grieving, but because they like being in clubs.

Having to buy 2 meters of 21.5mm plastic overflow pipe when all I needed was 10 cm of it. This annoyed me beyond reason.

Ok, it was only £1.74 so hardly broke the bank, but it was still annoying.

Also I can't fine my pipe cutter. This also annoys me.

Goodness knows. I am very bad about putting stuff away after use.

Never mind though - I cut it by hand and it's good enough.

Motorway service stations....gateways to hell

Chavs everywhere
Wallet emptying petrol prices
Shops with eye watering prices that require a line of credit to Ocean Finance, not to mention a full fry up costing almost a tenner
Pointless stuff for sale..since when did a long car journey require a stop to purchase a novelty thimble set or porcelain figurine of a tramp fishing next to a dog..??


Predictable sights...
RAC bloke flogging cover
Toilets where you need a canoe to paddle across the lake of piss everywhere
Only place I ever see 'Grab Bag' bags of crisps for sale... Since when did the world need the greedy sized ??
Impotence / car tracker adverts everywhere in the gents

Arrived at Edinburgh airport delayed. Hired a car at midnight. Desperate to get to St Andrews. Process was painful and annoying.

But the thing that is really annoying is that some twunt has dropped something into some void in the E220 that I was given.
Turn left and there is a clatter clatter clatter clatter as it rolls to the right. Turn right and there is a clatter clatter clatter clatter as it rolls to the right. For an hour and a half.

I have looked everywhere for this fecking thing. No sign of anything. I suspect a ball bearing in the heater vents.

It is doing my head in.

No time to swap the car over or get it fixed. Just have to live with it.

Heh, a colon would be more appropriate.

For most Americans, it's their colon that's the problem

Price of coffee in franchised cafes in service stations. Black americano - hot water, a paper cup and some coffee - £3.10 please....WTF???? it's £2.20 in the costa near me at home. when challenged the imbecile behind the counter just shrugged and said "its because its a service station....." boils my piss.

my annoying thing today - Office Mugs, not the gullible thicko but personal mugs. I used what I thought was a generic mug this morning. it was a recruitment agency mug ffs but apparently it was traceys'. I had that not sure if you;re serious moment.

if its a personal mug, keep it on your desk, not in the generic mug pool....

Tracey didn't want you drinking from her cup? Perhaps you should have bought her dinner first?

People who can't go for fifteen minutes without buying a fking coffee.

People who can't make it all the way to work in the monrnig without stopping to buy a fking coffee.

People who can't make it round Waitrsoe without a fking coffee in their hand.

How the fk did these sheep manage to get through a day before they could buy a fking coffee in every other fking shop?

And trousers!!!

Last one I was in had a load of trousers on rails just inside the entrance.

Who the fk walk into a services and thinks oh bugger I knew I'd forgotten something this morning, my trousers!

I can only imagine it's for people caught short who've st themselves, but how many people can that happen to!

I second that one. It's a craze at the moment, I don't think the people buying the coffee realise they don't need it. It used to be bottles of water, now you don't see that so much. What the heck is wrong with tap water? And why do they all suddenly think they need to drink 2 litres a day when they never needed to do so in the past?

It never ceases to amze me how so many people are sheep - just following the lead set by someone else they saw do something. Halfwits.
