I realise to those who are retired this doesn't really mean any thing.
You're right, it doesn't, but thanks for caring anyway.

But back to things that seriously piss me off.
Both my wife and I will record various TV shows to watch, some just for me, some just for her, and some that we watch together.
We'll start to watch e.g. "The Good Fight", a U.S. legal drama series.
Maybe ten minutes in, I may say, "What did Marisa just give to Diane?"
Getting no reply, I glance over, and see her checking Facebook on her phone.
I go nuts, "I thought that YOU wanted to watch this!"
She, equally pissed off, yells, "I'M LISTENING TO IT!"
In vain, I point out that by not looking at the screen, she is missing subtle nuances.
Reverting to what I guess is normal female behaviour, she screams, "B*****ks! Turn the f***ing thing off!"
Somebody, please tell that I'm not getting annoyed for no reason.
I'm with you, brother Frank. Mine demonstrates this feature also. Sits there perusing the phone or dozing/snoozing on and off. Wakes up/puts phone down as credits roll: "What happened then? Did so and so do such and such?" etc etc. Me: "Wind it back and watch it, I'm going to bed." Her: "Oh come on how hard can it be, just tell me what happened?" Me: *sods off to bed*.

Every. fking. Night.

I'd switch the router off if it wasn't for the fact that we've moved from Sky to Amazon/Netflix recently......
I feel your pain brother SS, as you so obviously feel and empathise with mine, I forgot to add the snoozing, yet when you detect the gentle little girl snore, and softly say, "Nicky?", apparently she is just resting her eyes.
were our wives separated at birth do you think?

Friday nights are the best. After the slight drifting off and losing the thread of the programme, I get: "Come on, it's Friday, let's watch another episode!". Sigh. OK. *starts next episode*. 5 mins later - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................this is where I usually switch over to something I want to watch, finish the bottle of wine and have a thoroughly enjoyable end to the evening.

the 2 utter muppet truck drivers elephant racing this morning on the M8, for 4 miles.

I hope the next prostitute you pick up bites your tackle off. really no need to be such a selfish cockwomble, just lift a tiny bit on the throttle and let the other trucker past with no drama at all.

Celebrities who rush out of the woodwork to lead the national emoting in times of "crisis". Bomb goes off in Manchester. By the end of the day James Corden has made the effort to pop up on television to tell us a) how awful it is... cos my moral compass is so perversely fked that I couldn't have told the indiscriminate bombing of children is a Bad Thing without having some fat fking unfunny insurance salesman point it out to me... and b) to tell me that "we all need to cuddle our children tonight". Well, I suppose it'd make a change from me locking them in the cellar with a lump of dry bread for dinner.

To be blunt, what the fk does it have to do with you, you pompous self-interested fat fk? Wind your fking neck in and don't presume to tell me how I ought to feel/think/react.
This 1000 times over, but applicable to any 'celebrity'.

"oh something seriously terrible has happened, quick lets get on social media to tell people that I too think it's terrible, because that will help the situation, won't it?" I fully understand how awful the situation is at the moment, but having every single celebrity echo the same statement over and over is fking pointless, fk off. As you say, thank fk they're there to tell us its awful, otherwise I never would have known
You two - have a virtual pint (each!) from me. Sums up exactly how I feel about this.
Not every celebrity - Katie Hopkins at least had the "decency" to suggest a bit of genocide?

The parking spaces in the retail park I'm currently parked in are marked with slightly lighter coloured paving blocks, these have all weathered in so nobody can tell where the bays are, people have just parked where they like, even I can't tell if I'm properly in the box, it's anarchy.

People who, to be honest, say "to be honest" rather too often. Which includes my sister, to be honest. It really, to be honest, annoys me beyond reason. To be honest.

I can't find it in myself to blame the guy who can get along a bit faster wanting to pass, but what I can never understand is why the one being passed just doesn't ease off a bit and let the other one by. What's he going to lose? Twenty five yards of road?

Momentum. Simple as that.

Went to the local National Trust this morning for a stroll with the family - stately house, grounds, deer etc - nice relaxing stroll.

The number of families attending purely to tt a football around on the lawn amazes me. Why can't they fk off to the local park and scream their heads off with the other children?

I realise to those who are retired this doesn't really mean any thing.
Even when I was working, it didn't mean that much either.

I'm actually not unhappy that the weather's broken at bit; at work I have air-con, at home I do not.

When companies send you 'Urgent' mail with a deadline for you to do something, yet take 4 days to actually post the fking thing ( time between 'date of letter' and date on the postmark ), AND only use second class mail so it takes another 4 fking days to reach you ( 5 if there's a bank holiday in there somewhere ), thus ensuring that by the time you actually receive the fking thing the deadline has expired

Clickbait. It's getting out of hand and it's doing my head in.

Click here for photos of this rare car restoration, photo 6 will ASTOUND YOU. So as i like the marque i go along with it. "Click here to answer 3 simple questions as part of a survey to unlock the rest of the article....".

The world needs to take action and not entertain this nonsense.

He's doing that sad PH 'thing' of pretending that you can be only cool if you're at least 40 years behind the rest of the world. He'll not have a mobile phone or watch Channel 4 either.
