Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

travelling on M50 t'other day and seen a driving instructor in fully emblazoned L car (no learner in it) driving in middle lane not a thing to his left side on his phone, fine example to set.

Yesterday morn seen a poor little fecker on a moped in the middle lane on M50 getting blown every which way in the wind, back light barely visible in the dark, cars flying by him on both sides, bloody dangerous, would have been safer driving in the left (and correct) lane.
Wonder if he /she made it to work?

My daughters use my phone to watch youtube videos so now my recommendations are clogged with My Little Pony, Frozen and Minecraft.

Heh - poor little dude/dudette. Those little 50cc mopeds are illegal on motorways, with good reason.

Feckin' lawnmower started on third pull despite being left untouched since last October, so I had no excuse not to tackle the lawn (which is growing at an alarming rate) Damn Japanese engines

Yes. I must confess I used to use motorways on a provisional license...

...on an FZR1000, at 130mph, back in the early 2000s. Ole Jim was mighty bad then, an' Ah sho' knows it wuz a-wrong.

Rude people, there seems to be double of the usual amount so far this month

And to coin an old phrase "sure it's only illegal when you're caught".....:rolleyes:

A guy that's works with me hasn't taxed his car (a 00 reg) in years and nct expired in 2011, fecker hasn't been caught or fined, uses that phrase when I comment, and boy does that T.A me...

Evening Titties. Annoyed cos although I'm really tired now as soon as I get into bed I'm wide awake

Ooh, roll-eyes - I can taste the outrage! I'll get on to that impostor in Australia - he'll run him down nice and fast!

Being hassled by junkies every couple of feet. Get off the train, can't get onto the luas without someone asking for "spaure chaaynge". Get off the luas, asked at least twice on the way to work. This evening, one haunt wandering around with a sleeping bag over his shoulders approaching people for cash. Literally ten steps ahead, another one approaches, asking for cash too. Sicken you

There's a thread here somewhere, describing their experiences on the redline, eye-opening it is, or eye popping I should say.. swear the K9 squad should be allowed board and patrol it, has to be hurting it's reputation,

It isn't a stupid convention. The years 0 - 99 AD are the First Century, same as the first sixty seconds of a rugby match are the first minute. What else would it be?? :pac:

Passenger: "How much would it cost to take me to Galway?"

Taxi driver: "Can't say exactly, but it will be somewhere in the eighties."

Passenger: "So....somewhere between ninety and a hundred euro?"

Taxi driver: "Have you got drink taken?"

Name, address and a tenner and I'll put sugar in your tank.

I'm afraid I'm going to break the thread due to being unsure of what constitutes as chat or not.

Having to refer to something that happened in 1900 - 1999 as being twentieth century.
The mental adjustment required to work out what constituted a 16th century event, (is it 15 something or 17 something?) just does my head in.
How did this stupid convention gain traction?

It's a perfectly logical convention.
What annoyed me was celebrating the new millennium going in to 2000 when it should have been 2001.

I've not worked since Wednesday, so off I went to work today 9am till 3pm, lovely day. But now I am wrecked! I'm in bed because I'm too tired to do anything.

I'm guilty that I can't play with my kitten anymore either for fear I'll fall asleep and she will scratch my face!

Also can't stand when people ask for your advice, refuse to take it and then when they've gotten themselves into bother, they come running back to you to sort it out. Listen in the first place and stop being so bloody stubborn.

This whole evening is a TA

Menas · 10-03-2015 10:42PM

Got myself all anoyed because I have a 8am meeting tomorrow. But now realise I got the timezones mixed up and it does not start until 10. TA at my own stupidity.

Wise Old Elf · 10-03-2015 10:46PM

Two NCT related annoyances:
1) My car is >10 years old so I have to get it done every year now.
2) the car is supposed to be clean, but my nearest car wash was closed, so I had to give it a wash in the dark this evening. That just made me look weird!

This morning, I forgot something and had to return home to get it. As I am pulling up outside my house, there is a woman with a dog on a leash, taking a sh1t (the dog, not the woman) on the grass immediately in front of my house. She knew she had been rumbled and made a pretence and picking it up, and went o go on her merry way.

"Do you intend to leave that there?" I asked
"It's diarrhea" sez she (I am not a vet, but it was not diarrhea - it looked like a Lion bar)
"Ok, but do you intend to leave it there?
"IT'S DIARRHEA"
"Would you like a bag to put it in?"
She looks at me as if I mad and ask "Is there something wrong with you, have you nothing better to do with your time" and strides off.

Dirty b1tch!

I was walking to the local shop this evening and there was more than one 'Lion bar' on the path. Disgusting!

Pumpkinseeds · 10-03-2015 11:26PM

People monopolising the foot paths. I went for a walk earlier on and there was a group of runners, about a dozen or so of them, totally hogging the foot path. I'd gotten up a fair bit of speed but I had to slow down as I couldn't get passed them and it's a really long straight stretch of road. I gave up and skipped my second circuit. Gonna have to go out earlier from now on. They should be on the road, no point being kitted out in reflective clothing but running on the paths.:mad:

Get outa my brain.

Exact same thing happened to me the other day. (Only diff is that I was coming home from work.) Anyway, this wan was standing on my front lawn, watching her precious pooch take a big ole massive dump on the grass. She had the good grace to at least look mildly apologetic about it all. But then she ruined it by saying the dog had been sick, was on medication and had diarrhea from the meds.

" Grand " sez I.

" So if you knew in advance that there was good chance of your dog needing to take crap when ye were out and about, YOU BROUGHT BAGGIES WITH YOU TO CLEAN UP THE MESS, RIGHT, AM I RIGHT? "

(I mean even a 2 yr old could figure out the logic of that, right?)

The looks she gives me....it's like I am some sort of dog hating Nazi.....

So in I go into my house and I have to find a plastic bag and some paper towels. I hand them to her and she acts like ME requiring her to clear up HER dogs mess from MY grass, is the worst thing in the world.

People like her give the good dog owners a bad name. The sad part is that she is utterly clueless and in her mind, I am probably the bad guy. :mad:

When my housemate stands outside the bathroom talking to me while I'm brushing my teeth. How exactly am I supposed to respond to you?!

Zombienosh · 11-03-2015 09:59AM

People texting and walking, get out of my ****ing way.

jimgoose · 11-03-2015 11:09AM

I have developed one of these blasted early Spring head-colds. I must admit this is affecting my usual mallet-headed, optimistic joie de vivre somewhat just at the moment. :mad:

jimgoose · 11-03-2015 11:14AM

Today it is raining. In fact, it has been raining all night. At the moment around here, as soon as you step off pavement or asphalt, you're up to your knees in swamp. Hence I do not see the necessity for comments such as "Mornin' JG! The ground needed the drop a' rain, hah??" Just fcuk off.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 11-03-2015 11:21AM

Trying to decide on a wedding venue. He has where he wants to go, I have no idea anymore and all the really nice ones that I like are really far away
