Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Miaireland

I hate when people ask you too book something for them and then want you to cancel it when you do it.

Remind me never to book anything for anyone again.

Or people who put "Please Revert" at the end of an email trying to sound clever.

Revert is the opposite of convert. Or revert to a former state.
What do you want me to revert to, my 5 year old self? Fcuk off fcuk OFF

Being asked to arrange something for someone, which involved others going out of their way to do that thing for the person as a massive favour to me. Then having that person change their mind and explode at me in rage about it. Then I have to explain the total fcuk up to the people who were doing the favour. NEVER EVER AGAIN.:mad:

Trivial thing that's annoying me right now is this one on the bus beside me -

"I'm having a 'feeling sorry for myself day'"

I used to always put it in emails and sound like a pretentious twat. When I realised that it was both pretentious and made no sense I gave myself a good kick in the hole and never did it again.

I still hate myself for it.

I hate it when people try to make puns in threads here!
First you get the obvious idiotic ones then you get the ones which are not puns and make no sense but the poster just uses anyway

Worse than that are The Simpsons or Father Ted quotes. I can just about suffer them when they are used properly but more often than not they are just used to get thanks.

They were great shows but f**k me people, come up with something original.

DO NOT MAKE BUS BUDDIES. DO NOT MAKE BUS BUDDIES. DO NOT... :pac:

Green Giant

Songs with mind-numblingly repetitive lyrics

Radio on in work at the moment with someone screeching "just can't rely on you" about 55,000 times amid various screaming.

And I was only just after getting over "up all night to get lucky, up all night to get lucky, up all night to get lucky, up all night to get lucky........."

Wait 'til ONW sees this!

I got an email this morning from some gobshyte head-hunter or other. That isn't unusual, but what got between me and my morning was the way this one described himself as a "Talent Champion". I had a mental image of Simon Cowell in a chain-mail skirt with a net in one hand and a trident in the other. "Talent Champion", in the name a' Cheeses... :pac::pac::pac:

I'd say the same fella does a lot of "reverting"...

Well some people seem rather eager to have a buddy to chat while on the bus. I am not one of them. But I seem to attract them. It's like they are waiting for the moment of your weakness when you make eye contact or smile at them or say hello.
Yeah trivial thing that annoys me - people, who want to be bus buddies.

I have no bother talking to anyone that leaves a bit of space between us. But on a bus you're on top of each other so there's no way i'd like someone talking/breathing in my face that close. Oh god, i need a shower just thinking about it.

Yeah, worse again just now: 'elevator buddies' -

"Nice day out, isn't it?"


The fcuk are you smoking!

I never normally chat to people on the bus/dart, i.e. if they chat I'll reply briefly and stick in the headphones. But there was a guy on the dart last night who looked like he'd been crying and he was sitting right across from me, he seemed agitated and I wasn't sure what to do because I knew if it was me I'd prob be mortified if someone noticed. We kept making eye contact involuntarily - as you do sitting right across from someone, so I just smiled when I met his eye and left it at that.

I used to live on a 5th floor, there was a drunk living on the 6th floor and I happened to share the lift with him more often than I liked. The man was quite polite and well dressed but jaysus the smell of him, I'd be drunk myself by the time I got out! He also seemed so guilty and had the need to start a little conversation to kill the awkward silence. Which was even more awkward. So I started to take the stairs. Problem solved + never had a nicer bum

Top Tip from Viz many years ago:

"Keep the seat next to you on the train vacant by smiling and nodding at people as they walk up the aisle"

It should work on the bus too.

I'd say it works for many but I am not one of them , but thanks anyway.
I'm a magnet for alcos/weirdos/smellies/creeps/perverts (or the combination of them all) in public transport. All due to a friendly face, so I was told :mad:

Wanna be my bus buddy? The way it works is we pretend we dont know each other and follow hunds rule of maximum multiplicity* and act like normal fuucking people.

I know a woman who gets into a lift and actually stands with her back to everyone, nose pressed against the doors and then runs out when they open. She'd actually be my hero...if she wasnt such a cúnt.

I swear, not a sweaty phlump, a Nolans School of Music bag or a flight sock in sight. I promise not to contribute to the bubonic microbial condensation on the windows or ask the bus driver twenty questions about another route. I will be the perfect travel companion. In fact, you wont even know I am there - probably because I'll be walking!
