Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

Dogs next door barking none ****ing stop morning noon and night 3 dogs the size of horses in a tiny garden :-( I just need sleep :-(.........!!!!! Sleep just sleep few hours no dogs barking I feel like jumping the wall with a samurai sword in my Yfronts . And to top it of the guy who owns them sleeps in the front of the house and gives me a big hello good morning and a smile . While I have bags under my eyes down to my knees !!!!! The bastard !

Now this is incredibly trivial but then that is the name of the thread.

When something is described in adverts as lasting "two times longer" or "kills two times as many germs" etc. It should be "twice as long".

Wow, that's a "very pacific" amount of time

There's a manager in my place of work that says this all the time. He says it alot, he knows he is saying it wrong, as there is always a small pause before he says it, then repeats it immediatley.
I think the pause is to think about what the correct way is, and he believes pacific is, the the repeat is to confirm to himself that it's the correct way.

You should have a go at convincing him that "atlantic" means the opposite, i.e. vague, general. :pac:

Then I'll have to commit and find a meaning for 'Mediterranean'......
to engage in thought or contemplation; reflect.

'Indian' - the part of the car that makes it drive

'Arctic' - a type of monkey?

No, silly - an Arctic is a tcruck with a tcrailer, and an Antarctic is a rigid HGV.

Accidentally stepping on a snail. Not only do you squish the poor fcuker, you also stab him to death with pieces of his own gaff.

Plus, the noise. Vom.

People who eat pizza with a knife and fork, it's just wrong.

I finally narrowed it down to a choice between 2 fridge freezers. Now I just need to make a decision tomorrow. Black or white. I prefer white but the 1 I like best is in black in the shop so unless they can get me a white one in the same delivery time frame it'd have to be the black 1. Decisions decisions.

When people take something from you (without asking) and you never get it back! :mad:

I got my eyebrows threaded today and reminded of the time I got them waxed a few years ago. The lady was finishing tidy them up with a pluckers and she plucked my mole hair. :mad: Without. Even. Asking. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I was so annoyed, to this day the hairs haven't grown back.

I have a tiny mole under my chin, barely noticeable. I call it Ronnie and the b*tch plucked Ronnie. :mad: Ronnie hasn't been the same since.

You did well enough. I'd have used a flamethrower.

It just looks like a little freckle now, hidden by all my chin fat.

I can't believe the hairs didn't grow back. I thought 3 extra ones would sprout but alas, nothing.

Trivial annoyance: Waiting for my horrible old Servis fridge-freezer to kick the bucket, so I can buy one of those awsome Liebherr American-style ones. Unfortunately the stupid thing appears to be my kitchen's answer to the Terminator. Die, you bastard!!

I came across some really bad reviews of Liebherr, it might be worth having another look at manufacturers while you wait for the beast to die:D

Short wheel base jeeps. I mean the bigger ones like Troopers, Pajeros, Patrols, Land Rovers etc.. Whats the point? The increased breakover angle only really matters if you take them extremely deep off road, which perhaps excuses the Defenders..
Otherwise they look strange, are not much lighter on juice, are less stable on road, worse to tow heavy loads with, and less practical in the space they offer. 90% of them are commercial which is even more annoying! Your "van" can carry hardly anything, at least the LWBs have bloody space!:mad:
They make no sense to me. And Land Cruiser owners are the biggest culprits while IMHO nothing looks more wrong than a SWB patrol.. The long ones are good enough for the Army..
The only exceptions to the rule (at a push, still) are the smaller (ish) jeeps like the Nissan Terrano or Isuzu "MU" (Opel Frontera SWB) Which looks mental. Like a little Humvee and the 3.1s pull houses down. Or my favourite "crossover", the Isuzu Vehicross.

My running route has a hill midway through which I like to go up at a good clip. A massive badger was hit by a car recently and lies at base of said hill. Decomposing badger is feckin ponging

Imo think it's a tax thing. All of the above are dead common with farmers round my way. Lwb passenger 4x4's seem to be vanishing off the roads except for newish ones.

It's an orgasmic experience alright. Veritable orgies of trivial quibbles.
