Minor annoyances

[stringvest]

Having to be polite when you can't be arsed

 

[Stouffer]

The way the Americanism "season" appears to be replacing "series" in everyday usage. It's not exactly the end of the world but; makes me go grrrrrr.

Note also the surreptitious adoption of the word "gotten".

 

Alas, sometimes on these very boards.

 

"Are we all American yet?"

And as for dog owners who put stuff the wrong way in sinks, don't get me started on them...

 

 

EDIT: Ahhhh! Nightmare scenario! Dog owners who put the dog food knife in your beautiful pristine sink!

 

Anyone in particular, razor?

 

The sharp knife needs to soak too, Champ.

 

That's what your one and a half bowl sink combo is for

 

There is no chance of injury. I forgot to add - all cutlery has to be handles down, metal facing up when they are on the extreme right hand side of the bowl.

 

That's right, I am OCD.

 

Happy now?

 

And I thought I had it bad!

Speaking of cellophane, those tubs of salads you get with a peel back cellophane covering are pretty annoying if you dont finish it all and you're left with a lid that's all curled up and doesnt cover the salad properly any more

[stringvest]

Tssssk.... you people who don't prepare your own salads. You really don't give a toss.

I don't really deserve that 'dressing' down....its just the occasional tub of coleslaw

[Stouffer]

Extensive alliteration gets on my chebs a little and in particular Thomas the tank engine; the little blue cunt.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Wicklows.

 

Have one one my left index finger atm, every time I go to put my hand in my pocket, "Ow ya bastard."

 

Fuck off wicklows.

[Bjornebye]

being rushed to get ready then when being ready being told we aren't leaving for another ten minutes.

[Guest davelfc]

You can add to that people arriving far too early, it just leads to you forgetting something.

 

I'm all for punctual but there's a sensible on time and a ridiculously early.

Shopkeepers who hand me my notes and coins in a pile despite me clearly holding my wallet and intending to put the notes in there. Now I have to separate the notes and coins. Thanks a lot, fuckskull.

They wrap it all up in the receipt and to get out of the way, you shove it all in your pocket. A little later when you go to grab the note from that pocket it ends up emptying your change all over the floor. You're then left holding a receipt which you thought was a £5 but then notice that's actually blowing across the road.

[Liverpool lad]

Length of post by the looks of it

[Guest Slim(fast)Shady]

Down the gym,my locker has a lock dangling on it,surrounded by various empty lockers with no lock dangling on it,then I finish the work out to find a lock dangling on the lock next to mine,I return from the shower to find owner of said lock has too finished resulting in me having to take my gear across the room for more space! You have the whole locker room,why park yourself next to mine??

Trying to get my sister to make a decision about....anything

 

My dad says "don't mind" or "not worried" if you ask him about anything

 

My mum could ask him if he wanted to go on holiday to New York or Butlins and he'd say "don't mind"

Fair play to him, he's been with your mum that long that he's completely stopped listening and has developed a standard answer for everything.
