little things that annoy the shit out of you

Dramatic sound effects in podcast. I get that the mood is tense, you don't have to play a storm or music to ramp up the tension. Focus on telling fucking the story and leave the tricks out of it.

Pears. The fuckers take weeks to ripen, and then go rotten within about 5 minutes. Useless shit-version-of-an-apple cunts.

They are lovely when you get a good one but they aren't worth the hassle, the awkward cunts of the fruit world.

Exactly. I have them for breakfast with yoghurt and usually get the 'ripe and ready' ones from Morrisons and keep them in the fridge, but even those are really hit and miss. I bought some loose ones last week, and they're still rock hard. Bastards.

I love pears but they are a pain in the arse as you say.

If you ever see a variety called Taylors Gold, get them. 

Absolutely lovely and dripping with juice.

You can’t beat a nice pair. 
 

Two pears though are not worth the hassle. You have to watch the fuckers closely so as not to miss the 4.7 second window when they taste as they should.

My kids make me peel and chop them up for them all the time. Every time I peel one I drop it on the floor. Poxy things

Cant remember ever eating a pear. Why do you all bother when there are bananas and apples out there.

I don't think I've ever peeled a pear, I can imagine that's pretty messy if they're ripe. Make the kids eat them as is.

Sometimes an apple, sometimes a banana and other times a pear.  You can't pin Pureblood down to a choice of two.  You can't put Pureblood in a straightjacket.

Apples are usually similarly rock hard.

Spent about 800 quid on a nectar mattress last year and it's the worst mattress I've ever had its definitely memory foam because it doesn't fucking forget where you've been lying so now it's permanently got dips in it. I'll never ever buy a memory foam mattress again.

We bought a sealy one 2 years ago. After 6 months it started to dip like fuck so we actually got another one on warranty, the second one is even worse. Total shite. The mattress cost 1500 alone, so hardly some mickey mouse change. When I change it, which won't be long, I'll be buying a respa or king coil. Irish brands which I've had before which where excellent 

 

As good my moan of the day, nothing new. People not turning lights off, or more specific, everyone in my house besides me not turning them off. 

 

The mother in law is up this weekend and staying with us, I was watching the boxing in the kitchen last night while they where watching some shite. I went in to get something and they had two lamps on, the main light and also two up lighters on the wall. So all in all, they had 5 different lights on in the one room. And the funny thing is, her mam used her bus pass to visit us instead of wasting petrol. Yeah, but no bother leaving every light in the fucking house on. Where do these dopes think energy comes from. 

 

And I've just had time edit this, she's just come down the stairs and announced there's a weird noise on the bathroom. I went up to check and she had left the shower on........

People who enjoy their own surprise party’s. I got dragged to the wife’s, nephew’s, wife’s fortieth last night.

 

I spend the whole afternoon telling the wife that surprise party’s are a terrible idea and the person being surprised always hates it, even though they pretend not to. I shared this with all the people waiting to surprise her as well.

 

She fucking loved it. I couldn’t detect even a trace of acting and I kept a close eye on her (yes I would) all night. 
 

I’m still annoyed now.

We've got a caspar mattress. Easily the best sleep I've had. About 2 years with it and no problems. Just need to turn it every month or so and it's still as good as new.

My house is rife for that. Upstairs lights constantly left on, lamps on in the middle of the day, bathroom light and extractor on after someone went for a piss 40 minutes ago etc

 

The heating is another one as well. It's on when we go to bed, why? We're under our warm duvets. It doesn't stop Mrs D needing a hot water bottle anyway and costing more money using the kettle. 

 

We paid for Hive to help us save money, but now she doesn't even have to walk to the kitchen to put the heating up I'm convinced it's doubled our usage.

I'll admit I'm turning into a grumpy middle aged fuck, but regardless of my grumpiness, why the fuck would you leave a light on in a room you're not in..... Even as a kid I wouldnt leave lights on. 

 

It's not rocket science, one walks into room, one turns light on. One then leaves room, one turns lights off. 

 

And I've had my missus being all smart this week. "oh, can you mooch some wood in work and we'll stock up on free wood over the summer", but yurt next minute she's racking up an energy bill aiken to new York City.....

Film lids on ready meals that don’t peel off at all or just disintegrate and take about 15 minutes to pick all the bits off. 
I can grudgingly understand it with a proper cheapy one but when I’m paying 4 quid for a ‘finest’ one, it’s beyond the pale.

There's some helpful advice on the packaging: "remove film lid".
