People who fail to spot that the double-decker bus in front of them has just put his left hand indicator on, is approaching a bus stop and is slowing down because it's about to stop.
Why the f*ck don't you position your f*cking car in readiness to pass instead of almost coming to a f*cking stand behind him you retard!

Now I like Carol Kirkwood, weather girl on the BBC, but why does she insist on pronouncing 'land' as 'Lind'? Scotlind, Englind etc, it's slightly irritating and now I've mentioned it you'll notice it and it'll get on your tits too. You're welcome wink

You're not wrong. I always say 'Scotlind' whenever she says it.
It annoys my missus....but Kirkwood started it!

Because she's Scottish and they can't pronounce words properly.

Hwich just about sums it up.

Agreed. It's not rocket science.

I'm not sure if this is reasonably annoyed or not, but my girlfriend is currently using my car as hers has, I think, a dodgy driveshaft or something.

So this morning she takes my car. And my keys (not the spare that she has been using). And her keys. Leaving me with no bloody house keys.

Guess I'm not going out then.

I'll add that this isn't the first time. Grr.

Not detracting from your right to be annoyed beyond reason, but maybe you're doing it wrong?

Many people do a kind of karate chop on the stapler, or other kind of short sharp blow, with generally poor results. I find a firm squeeze or steady press down generally gives much better results.

No matter how I use them - they end up jamming!

That's because - as usual - you'll be trying to staple 500 sheets of A4 together which has the thickness of an encyclopedia and wondering why it's not working.

If I was trying to hold 500 sheets of A4 together I'd use a paper drill and a Treasury tag! If a stapler can't staple 2 sheets of 80gsm A4 paper together without jamming it is liable to piss me off...especially if I have to perform the operation 200 times. frown

If course the problem wouldn't have happened if our tight-assed buying department hadn't replaced a printer with a stapling function with one that doesn't so as to save a few quid a month on hire costs.

People with unrealistic targets, who don't listen.

"I told you to buy a hover board last week"
"but they don't exist" *
"I don't care about that I told you to get one"

  • ok they do but you can't pop into a shop and buy one.

Impossible. The best part of my day is the drive down the M180.
