Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
My Golf Mk7 has little side illumination lights down next to the fog lights, that throw light out sideways to give you extra light when manoeuvring at night. They come on and off with the steering at low speed.
On a recent visit to my sisters, when turning in her driveway to leave, she stopped me and told me I had a fog light out and I had to explain what they are and do.
I didn't think they came on with the indicators though - it's steering angle.

People who don't go to work, for whatever reason, but who utterly fail to empathise or even remotely comprehend what life is like for people who do.
"Did you not get my email?"
"Yes, but I haven't had chance to reply to it yet"
"It's important, can you please get to it as soon as you can?"
"I spend my entire day answering emails, the last thing I'm going to do when I get in from work is answer more emails!"
See also...councils and other local authorities arranging consultations about local services at times when working people cannot attend.
Further see also...councils implementing rules on putting wheelie bins in and out that don't take account of working people. I am not allowed to put it out before 7am on the day of collection? Er, I'm usually at work by then thanks, so it will go out earlier when I set off. Go take a flying f
k at a rolling doughnut if you don't like it. Fine me if you like, I will quite truthfully see you in Hell before I pay it.

Are you going to say what the difference is then?
I'd have thought it was fairly obvious, from context. I don't speak a word of Spanish but "Transvestite tacos" made me assume he was talking about gender pronouns and that Spanish is like French inasmuch as there are gendered nouns as well as gendered pronouns. Sorry if it needed spelling out!
How dense of me.

Yes, like our local consultation about "changes" to the bus services which were scheduled at a time when there isn't a bus from where the most-affected live, to where the meeting was being held, or back.People who have to have their place in a public place and you aren't allowed to go there.
It used to happen in local pubs, someone would have their place where they sat or stood and if you ever got there first (usually unwittingly) You'd get "Er, i'm not being funny or anything, but...". "Oh do you mind this is OUR table, we always sit here".
I actually got this at the local Sports Centre recently, a bloke actually had his own space in one of the sports Halls, I got there before him so he told me so.
I roll my eyes, I really do.

I went with my dad to his bowling club some years ago. I found a seat while he went to the bar, and when he came back with the pints he went to another table and beckoned me over with a nod of the head. "Better not sit there", he told me.It used to happen in local pubs, someone would have their place where they sat or stood and if you ever got there first (usually unwittingly) You'd get "Er, i'm not being funny or anything, but...".

Where do you live? I'd like to move there. My two immediate neighbours leave their 3 fk at a rolling doughnut if you don't like it.

Everybody else in the street manages to put the bins out and in, on the right day. Not these two cocksockets. Gah.CC07 PEU said:
The amount of fat fking bds in my local spa the other night - both men and women. Seriously, I was the only person there that wasn't fking overweight. It's a total and utter disgrace to humanity. Yet, one of the fat fking bds in the steam room was chatting about how he was "cutting out bread" from his diet. Just grow a set of balls, start doing some proper exercise, eat less but whatever you want and stop all the fking pussying around. Bunch of lazy-assed salad dodgers!

I'm all in favour of giving blind people a tactile cue not to walk out into the road, but these knobbly slabs play merry hell if you have a pushchair or trolley, or are wearing thin soled shoes or heels, and it annoys me beyond reason (even though I feel a little guilty for feeling annoyed due to the aforementioned laudable goal of not killing blind people).

When the car in front uses their washer jets, meaning I get a bit of spray on my windscreen and have to use my wash / wipe function. No idea why such a trivial thing annoys me so!
And then that causes the car behind to do the same, and so on. A human centipede of screen washing. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
