Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Today I was walking with my 3 year old daughter into a Tesco superstore, there was a small group of black chaps who were meeting and greeting just near the entrance - all well and good but why on Earth do they have to address each other as N*GGER/N*GGA?????
Thankfully my little one never repeated the word but at her age she picks up so much vocab so very easily now.

Ignorant people always being late, making people wait. What the juddering fk is so hard about planning a little to make sure you are ready when you are supposed to be???????
Told the wife this morning we are going to meet some friends, at 12:30 at a local swimming resort, for lunch, swim, gasbag etc.
"We leave at 12 o'clock" I told her, "exactly, on the dot". "Okay" said she, "no problem".
So, I'm playing PS4, 11:45 I shut my game down, pack my stuff, get ready, lock all the doors and windows, 12 o'clock I'm looking for the wife and daughter. Daughter is in the shower, wife is outside playing with the dogs, still dressed in her scruffs.....
I flew in from the USA last Thursday, after four weeks offshore, Wife knew for a week when I'd arrive, so I'm at the airport, phoned her, told her when the plane hit tarmac, and by the time I cleared immigration, collected bag, customs, walked outside, annnnnnndddddddd stood in the burning sun for a half hour until she finally arrived.

so always give her the wrong earlier time so you have planned in some contingency? ie, you need to leave by 11:30k is so hard about planning a little to make sure you are ready when you are supposed to be???????Told the wife this morning we are going to meet some friends, at 12:30 at a local swimming resort, for lunch, swim, gasbag etc.

The Virgin Media broadband advert where the guy is a (literal) Navy Seal playing something like Call of Duty in co-operative mode (complete with gaming headset) and at the end of the advert, the wife comes in and sends their little daughter over to "sit next to daddy" and fk up his game for him. What an absolutely vile thing to do.
k up his game for him. What an absolutely vile thing to do. JonRB said:

I haven't seen this advert, but am surprised that the sending of the daughter is a 'vile' thing to do. Am I misunderstanding something?k up his game for him. What an absolutely vile thing to do. RobinOakapple said:

Because it's saying "what you're enjoying doing is worthless in my eyes, so I am going to spoil it for you. But, worse, I'm going to make our daughter do the dirty work and teach her that it is ok to do something like that". Sure, it's just an advert, but it just seems like a rather mean thing to do.
Plus, it annoyed me beyond reason; hence the post.
