Can you not go two hours without a wee? Are you three? Jumping up as soon as the plane lands, while it is still moving. Why? You're just going to be standing there like f.ucktards until we've come to a complete stop.
Absolutely. It's like the worst bits of bus travel multiplied and you can't get away from them.
Another of my personal favourites is the announcement asking people not to block the aisles and get into the seat, as quickly as possible.
There is always at least one, usually more, who puts their case in the locker, then carefully removes their jacket and tenderly places it with the case, as though they are in some kind of parallel universe, and are oblivious to the fact that they are blocking the bloody aisle, and there are actually other people who are trying to board the plane too.0 -

The last time I was going through airport security, two guys were ahead of me, one guy saw that the other had done all the required stuff, taken off jacket and so on, all the stuff common sense would tell you, you have to do, even if there weren't announcements about it.
The second guy still had to be told to take off his jacket etc etc.
Another guy was completely amazed at the liquid restrictions...eh, what, plastic bag, oh...
Jeez, I'm getting wound up, typing this.

Worse is when there is a big queue to get thru the security check and someone comes thru saying they are late for their flight - would it be ok to jump the queue?
Sure- if you are late - no problem.
Then they proceed to have argument with the security folks about jackets/shoes/liquids/earings/watches/weather delaying everybody even more.

TA, expensive things being made from crappy materials. So, this morning I opened the fridge to take the milk out of the fridge we only bought last Summer, the damn shelf fell out, hit my foot, bounced and the side smashed, so now I'm gonna have to replace it. Last week I noticed that the molded wall bracket of the really expensive shower we bought about 4 months ago is cracked and will have to be replaced. What the fcuk is it with companies using substandard parts.:mad: I get that it saves them a small amount in costs but ultimately it costs them my business, since I will never buy any other product from them ever again. 0

Pumpkinseeds, I began reading that as being the milk that you only bought last Summer! Imagine! Rancid central!0 -

This. I've had about enough of being made a fcukan eejit off by smartarse accountants and Morkeshing types, endlessly dreaming up ways of taking astronomical amounts of my hard-earned for a load of monkey-metal shíte. :mad:0 -

I don't believe her. I swear everyone spends their time watching everyone else. Every time you raise your eyes up from the plate there are people watching. When you go to fill your plate, people are judging you for how much you eat. And as for those sanctimonious bástards with their fruit and hot water. Come off it! Free bacon and eggs and little things made from potato!!!!! :P
The worst thing is staying at one of these half-decent "Business" chain hotels that has its own gym, and you're with some wanker colleague who's obsessed about his arse or his elbow or the toxins in his spleen or some bastarding thing. You're just tucking into a Full Irish with extra steak and he'll come out with something like "Oh, you'll have to do an hour in the gym later with me to de-toxify after that lot!!" "Oh yeah. I de-toxified your fcukan sister the other night, the durty yoke. And just for that I'm having another plate of bacon. Fcuk you!!" 0 -

Reminded me of a few years ago, myself and a friend got one those free month membership trial things for a local gym, we went along just to use the pool/sauna, but we had to have a gym "induction" by a skinny twelve year old, which went "This is a bike, you cycle it" and "This a weight, you push it up and down" and so on, took all of ten mins. On our way to the pool area, via the dressing room, there are about twelve hairy men in various states of undress and a guy I kind of know says ( for all to hear) "Jaysus, you did'nt last long" my equally loud retort was "Fcuksake, does your wife tell you everything"
He has not spoken to me since:(0 -

But then when I do buy a pair of new shoes, and he doesn't see them, and I put them on hell be like "are they new?" Thought Ya couldn't tell a black shoe apart!!! :mad:
Women do something like that with things like tools. "What are they? Why are there three of them, aren't they all the same?? Sure you only need one wrench, they take up a lot of space!!"
"Woman, one is a ratchet-handle, one is a ratchet-spanner and the third is a torque-wrench. They are all important members of the Hierarchy of Tools. Remember when you attacked the top of that nice metal lantern thing you like so much, with a Vise-Grip? And made a complete billocks of it, and it had to be replaced?"
"Yes??"
"You have no idea how much that kind of thing annoys me!" 0 -
