Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

73cat - at least the day cant get worse, can it?

My wife conducted a physics experiment last night:

Does repeatedly ringing a phone in a moving vehicle alter the velocity at which the vehicle is moving towards you? Can it warp space-time in such a way as to reduce the distance between where the vehicle is and where you want it to be?

Interestingly, it seems that constantly ringing the phone of somebody who you know is late but on the way can affect how quickly they get there. It just has the opposite effect to the one intended. Quantum mechanics is weird like that.

My missus has a strange phone/location sixth sense. Every time she calls me while I'm driving home from work, I am always in the exact same location.
"Where are you?"
"The same fooking place I am every time you call me, every time."

I'm baffled as to how she does it.

Grown men and women wearing those RSA high visibility vests in broad daylight.

The old dear next door has taken to feeding the local pigeons. Thats all grand but my garden now looks like a painters radio.

I hate these new "alternative" names. What's wrong with good strong names like Mary and Peter?

There is a new kid in my sons class called 'Feedoa'.
How my and my son, Rocky, laughed at that one!

I encountered an "Olan" at a bank there the other week. You have no idea how difficult it was not to thunder, in a Brian Blessed voice, "Greetings, O-lan, king of the Hawk-Men!!" :pac:

I'm wondering where I can get a large portion of sausage rolls and some BBQ sauce now.

Aw shít. I'm not spending enough time on Facebook reading my cousins tripe about their offsprings poop and sign language!

How do people live in such ignorance? LMII for example takes no notice of anything like that, we get stuck in traffic outside that school, he is calm. I text him to tell him someone named their spawn cuan he's like "oh right that's unusual isn't it?"

It's so ****ing annoying. I'm not texting him for his opinion on names. The least he could be is as horrified as I was but you know what, when I bring this up again with him tonight he won't even remember I mentioned it earlier it's so insignificant to him

Not a TA....but I wish I could think stuff like this up.

I would be the same to be honest...the eyes glaze over at a lot of the stuff the long suffering Mrs Happy tell me.
Different things are important to different people. Different things annoy the hell out of different people.

In the immortal words of one Ross O'Carroll-Kelly: when you're as rich as we are you can believe all kinds of stupid things.

I get annoyed by certain mothers who think that being a mother is equalivent to sainthood.
I don't have kids and won't ever have kids but I'm ok with that until I meet one of these annoying women who don't me or my circumstances and tell me that I'm less of a woman because I don't have kids

Me two hands are black after putting stuff in the boot of the car - I suppose this means it needs a wash and I suppose the clean bit on the door sill means it's on my jeans.

What exactly do they say?!

As a young mother myself, the "wait til you have kids" annoys the hell out of me, i usually let them ramble for a while, digging even further, before I tell them I am a mother
