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...

session savage

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 about those pricks who killed the baby dolphin taking selfies with it? Bet they thought they were great.

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?

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!

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.
