People who mouth off their political views in the office like we're all supposed to agree.
oh yes, there is a group of brexit ones near me who said "nothing is going to change, it will be alright"... errr why did you vote if you thought nothing was going to change no matter which way you voted?
However what might be worse that the loudest of that group has made all the others around her agree with her point of view which is always factually wrong. Dangerous precedent having a dumbass at the helm and lots of people agreei.... oh wait frown

Then there is the guy in the colouring in dept who loudly has an opinion on everything and has to voice it to everyone... seriously I know more about the premier league than he does and I only watch MOTD... as for F1 and cars it would be better if he just read the sales crap on the dealer pages as it would be more accurate that the ste he spouts.

In Scotland there are a very vocal minority, I'm sure you don't need many clues. Boils my piss.

Marketing, it's funny they get all big and full of themselves but all they do is colour-in with photoshop the bits the marketing strategy team round the corner tell them to.

People using the word "random" when clearly it was nothing of the sort and is completely out of complex.

"That's a bit random" No love, what you mean is that was a little bit unexpected or even unusual.
People that use the word "complex" completely out of context. wink

And this is why discussion in this thread is healthy! Because if things that annoy people can be countered and explained, then sometimes they can be resolved.

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

That the weather today and yesterday has been blue skies with bright sunshine.
The weekend now shows a mixture of cloud/light rain/heavy rain.


I realise to those who are retired this doesn't really mean any thing.

You two - have a virtual pint (each!) from me. Sums up exactly how I feel about this.

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......
