little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Liverpool lad]

My current annoyance is people who propose really simple solutions to complex problems 

 

No appreciation of the finer details 

 

Proper simple shouts such as 'just needs to be sorted' and 'it will be good once it's done'

 

Then bumble off to add fuck all value to somebody else's life

 

And I also have a problem with people who decide that they have reached an age that means they no longer have to learn things. Obviously things that are slightly difficult tend to fall into that bracket of not being needed 

 

They often refer to themselves as old school despite having smartphones, cars that park themselves and cctv on their houses.

The price of branded ice cream.

 

It's fucking extortionate. When did it get to this point? I'm happy with Aldi's own brand Cornettos but when you look in Tesco at the prices of the branded stuff it's ridiculous expecially Biscoff, Cadbury, Oreo, etc and the worse part is that the ice creams are tiny, I remember Cornettos back in the day that were double the size they are now.

 

Shithouse cunts.

Speaking of Ice Cream, where can I find these, as I absolutely loved them as a kid. @Tony Moanero

Asda's knock off Magnums are good especially the nut covered ones.

Pendletons. I haven't seen them in years, decades even.

The ice cream block was wrapped in greaseproof paper which was folded like a present for the grand sum of about 5 pence.

It wasn't a day out at West Kirby beach without one of these as a kid (I thought they were Walls ice cream. Really creamy tasting ice cream. We'd run about collecting (sometimes without permission) all the glass coke bottles for the refund so we could buy one. 

 

This is the closest I could find online, a poor substitute I know.

Proper vanilla ice cream. My nan always used to have a block of that in. I can taste it now. It's all in tubs now and it's just not the same (even though it's the same).

Even the Mr Whippy doesnt taste the same as when you were a kid.

The ice cream man round our way used to smoke, so most of the cornets tasted of cig smoke. Didn't stop us eating them.

I remember a woman ranting at an ice cream man once, she'd caught him picking his nose and then picking up a cornet to serve some kid.

Really had a go at him calling him all the dirty bastards under the sun. He fucked off quick.

 

I went home and told me Mam about it and that was that, no more ice creams off him ever.

Two little quips of mine I've meaning to put up. 

 

One is every time I seen to open a box of tablets, as nurofen, solpadeine etc.... I always open the end with the stupid little instructions in it, blocking my path to the nectar inside. 

 

Another one, is twats who claim they "can't take tablets" 

 

My missus being one, silly bitch takes in big gulps of water, then does this stupid arching of her head to swallow the tablet. She looks like a fucking duck swallowing when she's doing it.

 

How can people claim they can't eat tablets when they throw any deep fried crap down their gob without any fuss. Twats

Certain types of tablet 'back in the day' were particularly hard to swallow at times. I feel sick just thinking about it.

Come to think of it, his rum and raisin didn't have a rum flavour.

If you open the "blank" end (i.e. no brand name etc) you'll get the instruction leaflet. Open the end with the brand name, you're straight to the tablets

Can you remember those cod liver oil capsules?

 

Feel sick just thinking about those evil little cunts.

For some reason my mum wanted me to take them when I was about six or seven. I'd just lash them behind the fridge.

 

About two years later they found about 500 of them back there.

 

Fuck knows why I couldn't have just had some mackeral or something.

[lifetime fan]

You lot got off lightly - Nan used to give it to us as liquid out the bottle. 
 

Should have called the NSPCC for that kind of abuse.

My Mum was the same when I was about the same age. Pity there was no such thing as Childline back then, I'd have reported her.

Horrible things.

The 'fresh' meat counter at Asda but could be any of the big stores. Look for a tray of say 4 chicken breasts or 4 chops etc. Pick one out only to find 3 of the fuckers are one size and lean while the 4th, hidden by the other 3 is fucking tiny with loads of sinew or fat on it!

It's very rare for us to get our meat from the supermarkets. We usually go to Taylor's farm shop in Lathom which is about 10 minutes away from where we live.

Top quality local produce which does cost a bit more, but you get what you pay for.

 

Costco's pork loin steaks are spot on too and very reasonably priced.
