Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)

Ok our local petrol station is one which has a grocery store as well, now although it has a car park around the back you get these total dick heads parking on a pump and then doing a load of shopping before paying for the petrol which causes a massive queue backing up on to the rd , and into the town centre, i think it's time we jailed these idiots for at least 5 years.

People who say " oh my days"

I’d always assumed that TV people had been trained / practice saying that , so they don’t say f@ck.

PhilboSE's post reminded me of when, as a kid, I had a Sunday job on a market stall on Petticoat Lane.

We sold cheap, reproduction pub mirrors. All day long I'd stand there shouting "Pound yer mirrors!! One pound yer mirrors!!!!"

Umpteen times during the day some durr brained tourist would stop me in mid cry to ask how much the mirrors cost?

Whereas I assumed it was instead of oh my god which would be the normal reaction.
Even Eddy Hall says it in his YouTube videos which are littered with the F word.
It's become extremely commonplace.Maybe a god fearing person complained

American sports commentators use "Oh my gosh" as their substitute.

Sounds ridiculous.

So would it not have been a good idea to change what you were saying, or how you were saying it, to make it more clear?

Not on my wages! Six quid a day! Bleeding foreigners should've learnt the Queen's English!

Text message just received from my GP's practice :
"Please diarise that you need a Blood Test appointment in 3 months time as per .... Unfortunately our appointments do not go ahead that far so please call us a few weeks before the needed appointment,.

Thank You, The Healthcare Team."

Three things :
1) "diarise"
2) I would have expected their appointment system to be able to log a reminder at any future date
3) It's a no-reply text

People who claim either they or their staff have been ‘working tirelessly’. fk off.

A lot of that has been going on during Covid. It was previously known as "working".

People [ mainly dopey men ] in the supermarket taking ages hovering over the freeze cabinet
I want to peruse phoning other people [ significant others presumably ] for advice on what to buy.

" will I get the fishcakes with breadcrumbs or batter ? you know Pudenda is gluten sensitive on months with a N in it "

XBOX

Decide to play a game. Nope, needs updates. Need to change a setting, needs a password. End up sending a heap of one time passcodes to email and SMS. Then when its sat there it is noisy, fans and old record player style HDD. Above all though microsoft authentication sucks.

Cant be the only one annoyed by it!
