When things aren't PUT BACK IN THE fkING FRIDGE!

No, I won't put the milk back in after it's been out, on the counter, all day in the hot kitchen.

Grr
Or putting butter tubs,milk bottles etc that are EMPTY back in the fridge,so I just have to chuck them later. Or I look in the fridge,see the tub,think se have butter,so don't buy any to replace the stuff we don't have.

Or, as happened yesterday: "Oh, the strawberries and raspberries have gone bad" - "Have you binned them?" - "No, they're still in the fridge".

Seriously. What?

Local takeaways who insist on posting menus through my door almost on a weekly basis. It doesn't make me want to buy anything whether i get one menu or ten menus.

I live in a street with a mix of council owned, and privately owned ex council houses. A local council "green policy" seen all the council owned houses get external wall insulation. The rest of us who own our houses had to endure weeks of disruption dust and mess, access to driveway issues, not to mention scaffolding on neighbouring houses while this was carried out. Now 3 months after the work was completed and the place tidied up, the council in their wisdom have now extended the scheme to homeowners! Given how messy the work was, surely it would have been better to do all the houses that wanted it at once? Council organisation at its best.
The way the grant system for anything like that constantly changes.

Tragically, that one's been around a while - not sure where from though

It's US-based and has been around for decades, it seems.

Many sources claim it originated in Las Vegas where a casino win of $2 or more would be enough to buy a chicken dinner. Plus it rhymes and is catchy.

I suspect it's gained some popularity of late as it's been heard used on shows like Fast n Loud.

Edit: Apparently it was also used in a 2008 Kevin Spacey film. More info here: http://www.onthefelt.com/2014/03/28/myth-debunked-...

"Thank you for waiting"

The latest glib platitude I think.

Yes. Said by the type of people that "Early Doors" is an appropriate description of time.

She's not the Messiah; she's a very naughty girl.

A gestalt creature like that sounds awesome. I'd love to see a picture of one.

Is it anything like the ManPigBear from South Park?

That's in the rules. If they don't, the producers re-film it until they do.

The rear indicators on the latest Audis (seen on both a 2015 A6 and a 2015 Q3).

Rather than blinking on and off, they have a strip of LEDs which scroll from inside to outside like a 1980's LED VU meter, or a Progress bar in Windows, or whatever.

I don't know why this annoys me, but it does.

Because it serves no purpose and is showy for the sake of it. Waste of time and money.
