People on here who seem to think that they are better off financially than others is because they "work harder". That really fking boils my piss, it may be the case for some, but certainly not everyone, I know lots of people who work very hard who will never be rich, but that phrase is bandied about on here as if it is some kind of fact. Just sounds like a condescending, arrogant and smug statement with little actual bearing on reality or circumstances.

Just sounds like a condescending, arrogant and smug statement with little actual bearing on reality or circumstances.My latest is the new "investment" at a local level crossing in the shape of illuminated signs that light up periodically saying "Keep crossing clear". I haven't figured out yet what causes them to illuminate, whether it signals an approaching train earlier than the barriers do, or whether it senses that vehicles are queueing beyond the crossing. However, it annoys me for two reasons:
1. The level crossing, as with most, is painted with yellow box-junction markings. These quite clearly say "don't queue on here unless you exit is clear" in exactly the same way that the signs do, but don't use electricity.
2. How stupid would you have to be to queue on a level crossing just because there are vehicles stopped on the other side? Surely anyone would be able to imagine the effect of 1000 tonnes of train hitting their car at any speed?
I know they're in the process of closing the signal box that overlooks the crossing (which can presumably override the automatic barriers and leave the signal on red in the event of it not being clear), but the crossing radar they've just fitted is also supposed to do that. Duplicated instructions, especially those that are so obvious a normal person wouldn't even need the first instruction, do my head in.
Oh, and in the same location, the people that stand around at the closed crossing gates waiting ages for a train to pass, tutting and looking at their watches, rather than crossing via the footbridge that's right next to them. Obviously not the elderly or those with prams, but the rest of them.

I let a lot go, but sometimes little things make me annoyed - like hearing other people eating. It's odd, but I hate that sound - that's hate, not get annoyed to the point where I start leaning towards physical violence.
That'd be misophonia!CommanderJameson said:

We can put a man on the moon. We can put a spaceship outside the solar system. We can put a stupendous amount of technology into a phone that gets used to play Candy Crush.
So why the juddering titty-fk can't we make windscreen wipers that aren't st?
I hate them.
Have you tried those flat Bosch ones? They're quite expensive but they're pretty good wipers.We can put a man on the moon. We can put a spaceship outside the solar system. We can put a stupendous amount of technology into a phone that gets used to play Candy Crush.

I will put the TV on or hum until there's another noise. Or just leave the room.

How do you cope with restaurants? I have no doubt that I am making the same noises, but that's me - I can't really hear it...

I assume she has no idea what to do with her mouth, so contorts it in a variety of ways depending on camera angle. First saw her in The Tudors, and she would do the wonky mouth thing, but only at certain times, then seeing her in different things, I started to annoy. It is like her version of duck face. Seeing her in Elementary made me post.
People overtaking cyclists on bends...without using their indicators...and without leaving enough room for vehicles going the other way...even though the bend is sufficiently tight as to negate their view of possible oncoming traffic...just because they have to get there a tad quicker...
