little things that annoy the shit out of you

"The first time since August..."

 

"The first election since 2004 that..."

 

" Only the second Liechtensteinian to climb Everest "

 

These are not long enough timelines, or common enough occurrences, to draw conclusions from yet inane pundits always do this to fill up airtime, or column inches.

Make up adverts do this.

When other people assume your "working from home" means you basically have the day off.

 

Cunt: "Oh you're working from home Thursday, you can give us a hand then?"

 

Me: "No, I'm not going to leave my desk for an hour to come help you. I'm working."

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Cunt: "Oh is Wednesday your day off this week?"

 

Me: "No I'm working from home Wednesday"

 

Cunt: "Yea that's what I mean"

 

Me: "Well why did you ask something completely different?"

And a bit of a wider gripe. People who don't work, not understanding the concept of work, responsibility or wanting to do at least an OK job.

I'm not by any means a high flyer, or a workaholic. I have a great work life balance. But people who haven't worked in years (usually but not exclusively housewives/husbands) getting on like I'm the strange one for not just jibbing my job off to do whatever crazy thing I feel like doing that day. Sure, I could just stop working on home working days and wank and drink myself silly. Great. Unfortunately my bosses aren't deaf, dumb and blind and will notice when I haven't got any work done, and I will either be fired or lose my home working privileges. It's not rocket science.

On the iPhone 6 when you unlock it with your fingerprint it tells you it's unlocked, but then says press home to get any further. Why? Just show me the fucking menu.

Having to turn the car radio off because every channel is either adverts or some massive cringe-making stroker talking utter drivel.

[Faustus]

That Andy Bush on Absolute Radio is the absolute worst for talking utter crap. He once had a Patridge-esque shout out for texts and tweets to gauge people's favourite service station. I'm about 99% certain he wasn't be ironic either.

 

The place I used to work at used to have that station on, which didn't arse me. I prefer 6 Music, but it's a democratic decision and I was happy enough as you tend to get a couple of good tunes on there. It can get a bit samey, but it's pretty much expected of commercial radio.

 

I remember once listening though when that Bush fella was on and I can't recall the song itself that he played, but the opening sounded like a bad rip off Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back In Town'. He comments on this after it's finished, but then starts going "Bloody hell, if I was Phil Lynott, I would not happy with that. Get your lawyers on the case, Phil." I'm listening to this, thinking 'He's been fucking dead for about 20 years, soft shite', only he keeps going on "Speaking of which, you don't hear much of Phil these days, do you? I wonder why he hasn't released any new material in a while. If you're listening to this, Phil, mate, it's time to pull your finger out and get back in the studio."

 

He comes back on after the ads all sheepish "Errrmmm... I'd just like to apologise for what I said before the ad break- it turns out that Phil Lynott passed away a number of years ago, which I was not aware of."

 

You just know the producer gave him an almighty bollocking in his ear during those ads. "HE'S FUCKING DEAD, DICKHEAD!"

[Mook]

Ha ha, that's brilliant, there's a fucking statue of Phil Lynott in Dublin if I remember correctly. He's so dead he has his own statue.

 

Just as an aside, isn't about time Bach got his arse in gear & got a new single out?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Job adverts with no wage.  It's the number 1 thing I will be looking for.  Put it in the ad so we don't waste both of our time.

Yeah it's stupid. Competitive rates of pay is another, competitive with who? Co-op or NASA?

Can I suggest that you change the description of your 'technical advice line' to 'some obnoxious cunt who cant be fucking bothered line'.

[PestiRed]

I was going to download the new Stones album after it seemed to get decent reviews and have a listen while cooking this afternoon. Only to find that it's not released until December. Why release reviews for something I can't buy? Dickheads

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Damn, fancied some poached eggs on toast for my lunch but the toaster just died. I'm going to have to mingle with the cunts at the electrical goods shop now and buy a new one. 

[Lee909]

Use the grill and order one online. Fuck dealing with people

I just went to the local supermarket, gave out 65€ and still no toaster as they only had shite, on-line it is. Plus when I went through the checkout that control panel thing started beeping. Some security guard came along and it turned out that I hadn't taken the magnet strip thingy out of this new winter jacket I had bought the other week. At least it gave all the nosy cunts something to look at and whisper about.

Walking behind somebody that's smoking whilst I'm in the process of kicking the biftas. It's both annoying and immensely pleasurable at the same time.
