Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)

Use of the 'deeply' by anybody and everybody in the media to portray how sorry / regretful they are. It's almost as if people are scared that without saying it, then they'll be perceived as not being sorry / hurt / regretful enough.

Now it's become completely ubiquitous, i presume anybody who says it is lying. Witness today how Michael Gove 'deeply regrets' Trumps approach to the Paris Agreement.

By a ****ing thesaurus.

Presumably you find it deeply annoying?

Turns out that about 104.2% of all the drivers of those Audis, BMWs and Range Rovers out there looking superciliously down their noses at me in my 'lowly' Ford haven't actually "made it in life" at all, but are stuck to some big-arsed monthly payments which they slog their guts out in a stty office job to fund. Remind me again who's the loser in this equation?

My BMW is paid in full no monthly payments.

So are mine.

I don't actually own any of those marques, but my cars would no doubt be included in the supercilious owner group. Three of them are expensive to run - but they don't depreciate (one of them is worth 40-50% more than I paid for it 3.5 years ago), and even an expensive year is still less than you'd lose in depreciation on a brand new Ford Focus (or whatever the equivalent is these days). Pretty sure I'm not in the loser camp there.

The term 'fake news', and the increasing use of it.

Can't point my finger on it, maybe because it sounds so American? Not sure, it annoys me though.

Anyone else here hates unnecessary background TV or radio noise? It really gets on my nerves once I realise it is there.

We don't even own a tv and never had any need for it. Both I and my missus absolutely hate when we visit some friends and the telly is on for no reason. Kids are running around playing, adults need to talk loudly over some crappy sitcom, nobody pays attention to the screen. Just turn the bl**dy thing off!

Whilst purchasing a thesaurus, perhaps they could pick up a dictionary for you?

bding Windows upgrades!
Takes 40 minutes to upgrade meaning I can't use the computer for 40 minutes and I don't even want the fking thing to upgrade BILL GATES fk RIGHT OFF

40 minutes? 40 minutes? I'd give my left bk for a 40 minute upgrade. My PC has spent the last 3 weeks updating, failing to update, and then uninstalling the part of the updates it did make. *That's* fking annoying!

People who ask on a thread what something means, when typing the same thing into google would give the answer immediately and also make them look less ignorant.

I often do it, especially if I think others may be similarly confused. In fact, I'll even start a thread to ask something in order to get a properly explored/explained answer onto PH or the W///. (so I can find it again in the future)

Yesterday I had to ask what VT meant. Googling gave no answer.

When someone books a 4 hour job in for a Saturday Morning when your opening hours are 8 to 12 and they still aren't here at 0845....

Had the same happen when I worked for Jeep. Three hour job, customer rocked up a 3.30 and still expected it to be done by 5 because she had to pick her mother up then.

I do this. I used to clip them onto my back pocket, but after sitting on several, I decided that wasn't a good idea.

And when you finally get one open, it causes a thunderstorm on the other side of the world.

Down the front of your shirt, t shirt or sweater.

People who post "problem solved" on technical forums but never say what they did to solve it.

Nope, doesn't work with a t-shirt. You get sunglasses sticking in your neck. So I'll reluctantly look like a dick until I can put them down somewhere.

someone somewhere in another PH forum said:

PCP... ...yadda, yadda... ...BUT HOW do you VT a CAT D ? (he didnt have GAP) so... ...yadda, yadda...

WTF, BTW, FYI.

Type fking English, in properly constructed sentences, FFS!


Plus all the whinging thickos who want "compo" or contract get-outs for stuff that's entirely their own stupid fault for not reading the terms when they struck a deal, or moaning that they've used up too much of their mileage allowance on a PCP deal. Facing excess mileage charges? Boo-fking-Hoo. Turns out that about 104.2% of all the drivers of those Audis, BMWs and Range Rovers out there looking superciliously down their noses at me in my 'lowly' Ford haven't actually "made it in life" at all, but are stuck to some big-arsed monthly payments which they slog their guts out in a stty office job to fund.

what the heck is a PCP deal? Please use English!!!
