trivial little things that really bug you

People who use the wrong there, their or they're. Most of them have a clue to their use in the way it's spelt. Here and hear can be included in this along with where and wear.

Same goes for idiots who use 'would of', 'could of', 'should of' instead of 'would've' or 'would have' - drives me round the fucking bend, that!

Also agree with the comments about banks - total cunts.

Reply to Post 63632 by amanda in Life’s Little Annoyances people that use the word lol.......whether its on the internet and even worse in a text.....I also cant stand text speak...really gets my goat!


Yep, similar to Amanda's post - I hate people who know they're writing a load of offensive bullshit so try to 'hide' it by adding "LOL" at the end of every sentence to try and "lighten" it. It doesn't work. It just makes you a twat. LOL. 8 )

Also, people who use the word "of" instead of "have" - i.e. they write sentences like "I should of done that last week". Are you totally f**king illiterate or wot??? 8 )

[EDIT: ah, Rob and The BB's beat me to that 2nd one up above.. ; ) ]

People who play their music out of their mobile on the bus, they never have good taste and surely putting on your headphones would give a better and more considerate sound than the 590bpm chipmunk singing tinny crap you're subjecting people on the bus too.

Yeah ! I was on the bus the other day and this guy gets on must have been in his 40s dressed in the usual chav tracksuit or was it a shellsuit ( showing my age now ) and a baseball cap on the slant i add, then takes out his crappy mobile phone and decides to share with the whole bus some rap music with loads of swearing on. I thought grow up you prick !

Reply to Post 63647 by desmond in Life’s Little Annoyances People who dawdle when walking.

Waking up, going to the kitchen and realising you have no milk/tea bags/breakfast.

Most of the media.

The constant announcements on trains. Yes I know I'm in Swindon, thats why I boarded the fucking train and no I dont give a s**t if the buffet cart is open for hot and cold snacks. Leave me in peace.


I agree with the train announcements...especially the security ones about leaving bags unattended. Fair enough for the 'stand well away from the edge of platform....the approaching train is not scheduled to stop at this station' :P

Elton John.

I'm sorry to say it but a few decent albums nearly half a century old do not make up for the fact that he has been an utter ball bag for the last 30 years.

people in cars who like to leave 1 mile between themselves and the car in front - and then never ever move forward as someone squeezes into the gap, making them want to almost reverse to keep the gap huge.
fat people in tracksuits. I dont wander round town in neoprene pretending I am a ski jumper.
shop assistants in posh shops. you are still a shop assistant.
freezing cold bottles of water.
Tescos
cold sandwiches - room temp is fine, but dont chill them to the point the flavour is replaced by frostbite in my mouth.
people who say 'I bet you think Im mad dont you!'. No, generally you are just cnuts.
sitting down and squashing a testicle
any fucker with the surname Geldof.
Metro Station
people using shortcuts when there is blatantly a No Entry sign.
over cooked beef
cauliflower - and before anyone says 'But cauliflower cheese is lovely', ask yourself what flavour you are tasting... and would it be any worse if it was just cheese?
the crushing realisation that putting a refresher or similar sweets into a glass of water will not in fact make a glass of fizzy pop
carbon fucking footprints
people who choose an alternative lifestyle, simply because they can afford to - and then try and preach.. 'yes, we brought 45 acres and now we are totally self sufficient, everyone should do it'. Ok Felix, how about you ask daddy to buy the same for me you pseudo green bank rolled cunt.
shirts never fitting. having a big neck does not necessarily mean i also have a Peter Kay stomach that needs a fucking tent to cover it.
people shouting at their kids and demeaning them in public.
people who use the excuse 'its ok, i will only be a minute..' to excuse anything.
receptionists, especially in surgeries. typing and answering a phone call does not suddenly give you the diagnosis skills of Doogie Howser.
Bus lanes
People parking on grass instead of the road.
food in cinemas always coming in rustly as f**k packaging
toilet doors without locks on. No, I dont want to do drugs, but I dont particularly want to be viewed cleaning my arse.
paper cuts.

People who spit in public, walking to work this morning I was treated to the sound of the bloke in front of me bringing up a pile of mucas and then gobbing it on someone's wall.

Is there really any need for it?

F@cking animal

Charlie Brooker fans - I think he's ok, but I fucking hate his acolytes: the sort of people that like or dislike things solely because he said so.

Michael Moore fans - see above.

People that stand in front of what you are looking at in a shop, notice you peering round them and then STAY THERE.

Corporate language.

Pubs that only sell lager or strongbow.

People talking over gigs.

Shit parking.

Swindon borough council.

People that walk AT me - I'm 6'2", am I really that hard to spot??

People that pimp out their little cars: yes, that is an impressive spolier, it's a shame it's on a 1.2l FUCKING VAUXHALL CORSA!!!!!!

The fact that there is no kfc in the town centre. If I want artery-clogging rancid chicken, then at least let me walk to get it.

Bit of a generalisation. I really enjoy his humour, and he often hits the nail on the head, but I'll be the first to admit that this series of Newswipe has been a bit hit-and-miss.

People who spout their opinions as facts and then get all shirty when you dare to disagree with them. Blimey, I've met a few of them over the years... 8 )
