little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It's no doubt been mentioned, but the phrase "man-flu".

 

You get sweet FA in terms of sympathy these days when you've got a virus, all because someone decided that the presence of testicles on your body means you're swinging the lead. I'm dying here.

 

In fact, add in all those ridiculous portmanteau words, like "mansplaining" and "manspreading" too.

Remember the boots ad years ago, women out and about soldiering on while the man stays in bed Ill. Of course going out and about with the flu is what spreads it.

 

The whole "man flu" thing actually comes from women's stereotyping of men as people that should be strong, tough etc. It's not that men act less 'brave' when they have the flu it's just that women allow their sex to suffer but expect men not to show any signs of sickness at all, ever!

[Mook]

Women are full of shit, every bird I've ever gone out with always has something wrong with them but if I mention that I've got a cold or a pain somewhere then I never hear the end of it.

 

People who soldier into work with a stinking cold aren't doing anyone any favours either, you're just passing your germs on & being a complete cunt.

[Chairman Meow]

Anyone who claims they went to work with the flu is talking complete and utter bollocks anyway. You used to hear it in work all the time "oh I've got flu", no you fucking haven't, if you had flu you'd be lying in bed wishing you were dead.

Aye, that really pisses me off too.

 

One of our clients went home with the 'flu' last week & then started battering us with e-mails, I pointed out that she didn't have the flu if she was sending e-mails, she had the cold & my manager starts up, "I've been at work with the flu before.".

 

No you've fucking not you complete & utter moron.

[Trumo]

The fact that every mens fashion website on social media has ripped jeans and white trainers with no socks as the rule to be fashionable.

 

A few clothing sites now state the height of the model and the size of the particular item of clothing he's wearing. I suppose it is to give shoppers an idea of how the item might look. Thing is, not only do these sites choose the most malnourished-looking boyband-haircut sporting twats to model their stuff, but clearly the size depicted is way off. I was looking at a shirt in a medium size (38/40) and I'm 5'9", but the model shown wearing said medium shirt was stated as being 6'2", and yet the shirt was almost down to his knees with the sleeves clearly rolled up. It was obvious that he was wearing an XXL.

[Tony Moanero]

The term "man flu" riles me. Is it supposed to be funny? It just sounds twattish.

They were coined by a bloke who deserves to be castrated so he cannot pass on his faulty genes.

Paper cuts

 

Tessie hammocks in shorts

[Moctezuma]

People who say stuff like "You lucky thing" when people take their annual leave, absolute shitehawks.

 

It's even worse when the person going on annual leave is having a modest time-off or just visiting relatives.

[Trumo]

Tessie hammocks in shorts

 

I always cut them out. The hammocks that is, not the tessies!

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Me too.

 

But, then they're also actually useful if you use the shorts to swim in. Pain in the arse, if you don't.

[Champ]

Places that use Facebook rather than having a proper website.

 

I am not signing up to that nonsense just so I can see what’s on your menu when there are so many other places to eat and drink

More than likely coined by a woman to be honest mate.

Bought a couple of shirts from Reiss and their xl is basically a large with long sleeves. Every shirt that they ever make is a slim fit one which means you have to have arms like Mr tickle and a stomach like a malnourished smack head.

 

When did wearing no socks and white trainers with suits become fashionable as well?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

9th of fucking January. Easter hot cross buns now on sale at the supermarkets.

Racist bellends on Facebook are already getting their burning pants in a twist over Cadbury's taking the word Easter off the Easter eggs because, y'know, Muslims.

Clothes shopping now leads to identity paranoia.

 

"Am I the only person that thinks all of these clothes are shite?"

 

"Am I the only person in the UK who has my body measurements?"

The passport office.

 

Need to renew mine. Went to Tesco and sat on a stool while a nice lady took lots of pictures of me and put them into her system that checks whether they are passport approved standard. First lot werent, so she did them again, big tick on screen stating passport/driving license approved.

 

Send them off.

 

£75 comes out of my account.

 

Letter arrives telling me the photos are not acceptable as they are too dark- frustrating, but hey ho.

 

Dont do anything for a day or two as been busy.

 

Get another letter from passport office, this time with a thinly veiled threatening tone outlining how it was unfortunate that their previous letter had not been responded to. They remind me that photos are not acceptable and if I do not respond within 7 days the application will be cancelled, my £75 will not be refunded and I will pay another £75 for new application.  

 

I get that I need to sort the new photos but the cheeky bastards took the £75 before informing the application couldnt proceed.

 

Fascists

What on earth have they done to Cadbury's chocolate? Had a bar of Dairy Milk the other day and had to double check that I wasn't munching on a stale dog turd.

Do you have a photocard driving licence? If you do your passport application online, it might ask you if you want to use the photo from your driving licence, and it transfers it to your passport application when you put in your DL details. Saves a lot of hassle.

 

You'll have to double-check this online, as I did it the other way around, renewing my driving licence using my passport photo electronically. This is a few years ago now so I can't remember if it only gives you this option if there is a smallish gap between the renewal dates. In my case it was a gap of 4 years and my appearance hadn't changed significantly enough to warrant getting a new set of photos.

Im pretty sure it only works from passport-driving license.

 

Cheers anyway.

 

I really wanted to call them or write back saying :

 

Dear Facsit bully boys,

 

Thank you for your patronising letter and for taking funds for a service you have not completed whilst threatening to cancel the whole thing and keep my money. How about I send you some more photos and then set you a fucking a timeframe to return it to me?  

 

Like anyone looks at your passport anyway you fraudsters.

 

Fuck off.

 

Yours Faithfully

 

Mr Calm and Rational

American owners tend to sell you dogshit pretending its a world class team.....errr I mean bar of chocolate.

People using initials all the time because they can't be arsed to write out the whole word.

 

I read some other forums & you get people listing films, albums & songs by initials so you have to spend 20 minutes trying to work out what they're on about.

 

Pain in the arse.
