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

[Monkeythree]

Cars with private plates which are worth more than the car itself. E.g Rover 75 near me with the plate X4.

[The Hypno-Toad]

Cough medicine bottles.

Why don't they pour properly? Always leave a long sticky dribble down the side which you can't get rid off & leaves a ring everywhere. Surely there must be something that can be done?

TV in general. I didn't watch TV from Friday evening until Sunday night due to being out at a PHers stag do - I just didn't miss it at all.

The first thing I saw was X factor followed by some stty E4/C4 comedy and some drivel on ITV of one of those mocumentary shows. I know there's quality stuff out there (I also watched Casualty) but I know that if I didn't have a TV, I'd not miss it at all.

I'm sat watching Postman Pat with my 3 year old and that's more bearable than most of the adult programming that is on just now. That being said, I think he's probably the worst postie in the world

Yes we should stop all this exploration and discovery and just get on with breeding. I applaud your lack of ambition

The word 'Awesome'. A bloke at work describes his kids as 'awesome', his wife is 'awesome', the film he watched last night was 'awesome', he went to Nando's and it was 'awesome'.

It would be almost acceptable if he was from America, but he's from Liverpool.

The bloke that sits opposite me thinks he's American. He is always on the phone to his wife or to his parents and every call is held at massive volume.

Worst bit, apart from the fact that he is utterly useless and has to get his father in law to come round to do such simple tasks as (eg) change a light switch or door handle (I'd be embarrassed!) is that he insists on calling his parents "mom" and "pops".

Blimey, I'd suspect I worked with you if it wasn't for the fact that the bloke opposite our office's clone of your berk wasn't on long term sick. Finishes every single personal phone call to father and/or wife (approx minimum 20 a day) with "love you".

This is uncanny!

[Stuck In A Lift]

People who drive their car while wearing a hi-viz jacket. No nobber, you're not the Police and you're not fooling me either.

[5potTurbo]

Colleagues who ask you to a meeting to present to a customer, but they still haven't told you on which topic you're presenting, specifically, despite me asking them 4 times!
My colleague still doesn't get it so has just been on the receiving end of, "I'm trying to help you, you 'tard!" on the phone.

I've now emailed his boss and told him to sort his young muppets out as they're unable to answer basic questions to enable us to meet the customers' needs.

+1

Or put it on view on the rear parcel shelf when they're not wearing it. 'Oooh, you must be important !'

Probably collect litter.

Men who wear football shirts in the gym.

I have to wear a hi-viz at a lot of places I go to and if I take if off when getting the car to leave I get told to put it on again so I have to drive out with it on.

If I'm driving any distance I stop and take it off because it's slippery and I don't like driving in it. But if I'm only going a short distance and know I'll need to put it on again I don't bother.

My girlfriend's dad works at a very strict site. It is written in their contracts they must drive /ride/ walk to and from work wearing high vis. They get disciplinary action if they are spotted commuting without one.

Seriously? Are the pavements around his work THAT deadly he needs hi-viz?
Presumably they pay travelling time to enforce that rule.

[MikeOxlong]

A friend of mine calls spag bol spag bowl. I explained to him that it's bolognese. Still calls it bowl. Some days I could do a murder.

Nope. He works in a fairly rural area
But its mod and they love a rule. As for the enforcement, ill ask next time I see him.

long sticky dribble

There's a post on Bookface at the moment, linking to an online petition urging people to sign regarding changes to the flight path out of Heathrow not to be made permanent because it overflies their town.
The person who posted it has a picture of an Australian landmark as her profile picture!
She's more than happy for other peoples peace and quiet to be disrupted, but not her own.
Would love to have seen how she got on before aircraft became as quiet as they are today.

[Antony Moxey]

Facebook. It's called Facebook. Calling it something else isn't particular clever and doesn't mark you out as some sort of hero.

This makes me laugh and get annoyed, People know there is a large international Airport in the area yet they choose to move to the area and would not suprise me if members of their household work within airport services, then people moan about expansion and noise
This is also the same with new build housing being pushed closer and closer to motor racing circuits, people move in then complain about noise! Just F off, the lot of you. If you don't like it move somewhere else and commute in to work as many other folk do.
