My colleague does it. I find it quite disgusting.

When work colleagues try to start small talk with me when we're both pissing at the urinals. I use the bathroom to piss, shit and occassionally ****, not stand about idly chit-chatting!

When you stumble upon "Maria Callas, Ave Maria" on Youtube and settle down for 3 minutes of musical bliss...and then realise it's in German

When people say things like "you know the music from "The Lone Ranger"? when referring to The William Tell Overture"

My personal favourite "The Cavalleria Rusticana - Intermezzo" and they say "ah yeah, the music from "Raging Bull" .....

I wouldn't have known the pieces of music you refer to without the film references. Sorry, but some of us simpletons only remember classical music when they've been made memorable in pop culture.

I really hate cleaning a saucepan after making scrambled eggs.

I've gotten to the stage where I now base me decision to have scrambled eggs on whether or not I could be bothered to clean the saucepan afterwards.

I'm a disgrace.

I was not trying to suggest anyone was a simpleton...it is just a trivial annoyance. I can assure you, I was not reared with weekly trips to the opera.

No worries pal, I was just being self-deprecating

Celebrity awards speeches. Now I rarely watch award ceremonies, I've no interest in them or the vacuous celebrities but sometimes I'll catch a snippit of say Beyonce, doing a 'I'd like to thank my Lord Jesus Christ, my personal Saviour' after performing that song Drunk in love. Total hypocrisy. Incidentally I've no interest in how she shags her husband and I'm no prude but I do find the lyrics to it really vulgar.



*I feel old now.

celebs who thank jesus in general, katie taylor is another one, god grants people the power to sing and punch someone in the face really hard, just not help starving kids or anything like that.

People who say smugly 'but that's just me' at the end of a post.

This isn't a trivial thing that annoys me, it's of the utmost importance but I'll add it here anyway. Here's the scenario:

I'm walking home from work through a residential area with housing estates and the like, when somebody walking in front of me (either coming towards me or walking in the same direction) disappears from view because they've gone into the housing estate that I'm approaching. But wait! They come back into view on the other side of the road about 10 seconds later! These people can't seem to walk in a straight line, parallel to the road. What causes people to veer inwards, following the kerb? WHY DO THEY DO IT??

By the way, the majority of ye do it. At least 70% anyway. The only people I'll forgive for doing it are people pushing prams/buggies because they have to come off the kerb at an angle and I wouldn't want them going onto the road.

In conclusion, STOP IT!!!

I haven't had proper scrambled eggs for yonks for that very reason. Microwaved scrambled eggs are gick.

The dusty useless crumbs at the end of the cereal. There's still half a bowl worth of good flakes but all that comes out is the bloody grit

I kind of like that dusty stuff , am I the only one ?

That's my favourite part! Because of this, when I was a kid, I used to crush up my Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies to artificially create the effect. Then, my older sister and my younger siblings started doing it. (I was a trailblazer).

I still do it nowadays when I have them. "I'm 40 years of age and I'm a cereal crusher."

"Baby on board" car stickers.

So what!? You have a baby, shall I go and congratulate you when I stop at the traffic lights?
Or should I be extremely careful while driving behind you because you have a baby there? Is that what you're saying? Or that you're a messy driver 'cos there's a baby screaming at you from the back seat?

I really don't get it.

I parked beside a car last night with a 'dog on board' sticker.

Microwaved anything is ****. I've had arguments with the missus about heating up baked beans in the microwave. It's the hob or nothing.

When you're standing at the bus stop and someone comes right over to you and lights up a cigarette. Oh yeah thanks, that's exactly what I need in my life! And then they look at you like you're crazy for moving away from them.

Every time I read the thread title I can't help thinking of Ian Dury and the Blockhead's hit Reasons to be Cheerful Pt 3.

People who pronounce the word vehicle as vay-haykill.

People who start a conversation with the words, you'll buy some tools from me boss. I wouldn't mind if they asked me if i'd like to buy some tools or if i needed some tools. But they start from the premise that i WILL be buying an angle grinder or an oxy-acetylene torch that day.

Sauce sachets in restaurants, fcuk sake, houdini couldn't open one of them.

Anyone notice that with all the " I turned around and I'm like....and she's like....". That there are a few slipping by unmentioned.
One that gets me is, NooA. Since when is there an A at the end of the word no?
I can see the potential for parents to backfire this one.;)

Also did people always say, Yeah no, before they responded to a question or a statement, Or is that one just me?

Was sitting at the traffic lights earlier and couldn't believe my eyes looking in the rear view mirror. yer man behind me had his finger so far up his nose, he must have been poking his brain.
