little things that annoy the shit out of you

On the subject of the backs of cars, fuckers with "God is my co-pilot" stickers.

 

To which I normally point out "yeah, and he can't fucking drive either".

 

Pretty much anything with a supposedly witty message displayed in the rear window of a car might as well just say "I am a complete and utter cunt".

I used to moan about those 'Baby on Board' signs & was informed that it's in case there's an accident & the baby is hidden in the wreckage, there's more chance of them being found.

 

Which makes it a bit harder to moan about.

That's an absolute load of arse gravy. It's loose stool water of the worst kind, in fact.

 

I remember my missus telling me that 'fact' because it was on a Jeremy vine show on radio 2, where someone was saying this and then saying how having them hanging in the car when the kid isn't travelling is somehow irresponsible as it wastes the time and causes risk to the fire or rescue crew looking for a child that wasn't there. Jeremy Vine then did as Jeremy Vine does and took it as gospel despite never hearing it before, or it not coming from any particular source.

 

These things exist for exactly the same reason as most shit exists. Because someone thought they could sell it, and enough people proved that person right.

 

There was probably a sentiment of safety when first made such to say "oi, cuntsticks behind me, back up a bit I've got a baby in the car who'll be mincemeat if you crash into us", but for a very, very long time they've existed because people like buying shit things.

 

If nobody has ever heard of these being for the purpose if identifying the presence of a child in a crash, then they're a badly advertised safety benefit at best, and more realistically it just isn't fucking true.

Yeah and I blame your lot for all this car sticker nonsense in the first place. Am I wrong or am I right?

Going through roadworks on a motorway with average speed cameras setting the limit at 50 mph. Fair enough set the speed to about 53 and use the cruise control. I'm in the outside lane overtaking lorries with a twat behind me flashing to get out of his way cos he wants to do 54 mph.

 

I'm going to get a plastic gun and when the twats pass at 1 mph faster, me giving the dirty look, point it at them.

Get yourself an armed and dangerous sticker mate

People merely passing on incorrect information without having a think about whether it seems feasible or true, and then pass it of as no big deal because they were just passing it on.

Maybe people do just make the baby on board signs to make a buck but if they've saved one baby's life then perhaps it's all been worth it.

 

And maybe you can go and chase geese if you think I give two fucks either way what anyone thinks about the info I passed on.

 

Geese.

Michael Fish is never going to live it down is he?

Nearly 30 years on. Hasn't the poor man served his time already?

 

Having said that we were just discussing whether he is to blame for all these over egged weather forecasts we now have to put up with

Weather forecasts do in fact annoy the hell out of me.

 

"Tomorrow, a chance of rain in the afternoon..."  Hmmm so tomorrow it might rain, or it might not.  Yeah, thanks for that meteorology genius, you're really adding value here.

Going to a restaurant and being served your food on a slate or piece of wood.

I can't stand it and always insist on a proper plate.

 

The fashion here at the moment in cafes is serving drinks in old jars. Fucking jars. If I want to drink my fucking iced coffee out of a fucking jar I'll become a fucking vagrant, thanks. Twats.

 

We were out a few weeks ago and dropped into a place for a bite. Ordered some macaroni cheese for the lad. Arrived in a jar. A fucking jar.  Fuck off.

Weather forecasts are shit. Last two years we've been promised really bad winters and it's been fine.

 

First winter in ages I've got a rear wheel drive car and no snow yet. It's shit.

Essentially "tomorrow the weather will happen"

Haha I was thinking wow, death wish much?  Then I remembered - rally driver, I bet you're like a pig in shit with a RWD when it gets like that.

 

I don't know how familiar you are with Oldham but basically you can't travel more than half a mile without going up or down a hill.  As well as the main road, there's a moderately steep hill that's a S bend leading up to where I live, every year I get to giggle as I drive round some hapless twat furiously spinning his wheels as he slides gracelessly backwards down it in a beamer.  Especially amusing since I'm in a 17 year old Punto.
