Things that make people think their great for doing. (When in fact they aren't)

freshpopcorn

Travelling is great for some people and not for others. It really drives me mad when I hear about somebody who travelled for a little bit and then they go on and on about their new life experiences and that you're worthless without them.

Another thing I hate is when somebody orders their steak well done. They're suddenly not a foodie and don't know nothing about food/cooking.

Wild swimming - it's just swimming in cold dirty water, not communing with a higher spirit...

Veganism

mahamageehad

People who hold the door open for you when you're a little too far away, forcing you to do that awkward half run.

What is wild swimming? Is it not splashing around like a loon in the pool? Or do you mean "skinny-dipping"?

It's swimming in rivers, lakes, etc where there are no special facilities for swimmers.

In other words, it's what we used to call "swimming".

Any activity whatsoever that can be dissected in a mean-spirited fashion in order to harvest Thanks.

I know, isn't wild swimming what people do at the beach?

MeatTwoVeg

Remove jams from photocopying machines.

Even though it's not terribly difficult, I always feel like a fcuking God if I manage to successfully remove a paper jam.

xabi

People who start pointless threads early on Monday mornings.

Yes, although your hardcore wild swimmer will turn up his or her nose at a beach that has any special facilities for swimming, like changing rooms or concrete steps giving access to the water.

Nah you're a hero. I'm constantly getting into fights with our photocopier and it's one of those with loads of compartments and a fancy display that shows exactly where the paper is jammed- still I can never find it, I spend ages in the copy room muttering profanities until someone like you comes along and makes it look so easy!

razorblunt

I've mentioned this before but the folk who do this:

Hi (normally at my desk), yeah , eh , razorblunt would you like to sponsor me, I'm cycling across America for babies who born with tails / climbing Kilimanjaro for Hayfever Sufferers
- I'll sponsor you when you get back
Well it doesn't work like that, I need to reach a target to be able to get over there.
- Didn't you cycle cross American last year?
That's right yeah, for Dogs born with one ear
- How much did you raise and what was the minimum?
I raised £3500
- aaaand the target?
Was £3300, but it's a very good cause
- Fock off I'm not sending you another holiday again.


The Kilimanjaro jibe is a bit disingenuous, I know two people that have gone there and raised lots of cash in the process, way past their minimum. It always seems to be cyclists that want the funding.

RhubarbCrumble

"Clean eating" - STFU already!

The Backwards Man

Going to the pub to roar on their team. They can't hear you.

When you're sweeping up glass or something and some annoyimg twat is over your shoulder, 'there's a bit', 'a bit over there', 'there's another'.

Why do people insist on giving normal things fancy stupid hipster titles to try and make them "a thing"?
Feck off!
(Not sure if I'm more annoyed that this a thin, or that it might actually describe me, I don't need anymore titles to define the things I like doing.)

Nah, the ones who go off on a J1 then come back with an American accent are the uber-twats of the travelling-set

One of the worst has to be when people buy a homeless person a sandwich and then post a big self serving post about it on social media

People who lose a few lbs on Slimming World/Weight Watchers diet and celebrate with a chipper and then are usually back to the same weight & will rarely maintain weight loss.

Poeple who go travelling and get pictures of themselves with some animal that's been injected with a load of tranquilisers.

Don't even have the self awareness to realise it's animal abuse.

It's better than just eating the chipper to be fair! :pac:

Recruitment Consultants who act like they've your best interest at heart and are trying to match you with the most suitable role and then send you a spec for a completely different role that you're clearly not qualified for or interested in.

I had one girl the other day tilt her head to one side at the end of the interview and through pouted lips said 'awww, we'll find you something soon, chin up'.
It was so insincere. She also asked me if I'd like to temp to keep me 'ticking over' despite me telling her that I'm currently working but looking for something new.

I haven't heard from her since. Condescending hoe!

Walking the women's mini marathon. Lady in work does it every year, trains for it too. She isn't old or fat she could easily run it.

Talks about it constantly for about 3 months coming up to it as if she is an endurance athlete.

5rtytry56

Anybody who keeps on crowing about how they got accepted on a third level course whatever it may be. Often they also trumpet how they got into a certain establishment.

They still have to pass the exams, not to mind study.

And if you don't have kids or thinking of having them you're clearly not as great as they are.

Via smartphone/tablet/laptop.

Also complaining about social media and the way face to face conversation is dying, and they wish they could leave their phone at home for the day (well do, so!)... through social media. :pac:

People with ''Gifted'' children. They could be as thick as 2 short planks but not in their parents eyes.
Anything to do with Resident Associations, normally a few fcukwits involved there too..

mahoganygas

People who have porridge for breakfast and like to tell everybody.

maudgonner

The martyrs who come into work when they're sick, when they should be home in bed.

You'll take longer to get better, be as good as useless and get half the office sick along with you. But sure as long as you look good to the boss, isn't it great.

Unless you absolutely have to be there, don't.

Did your glorified kindergarten attendant never teach you to start a sentence with a capital letter and finish it with a full stop?
