The What's Annoyed You Today Thread

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

Idiots that advertise their A-Run/Yogalates/Baby Fight Club/whatever by attaching their laminated dross to a lamppost with cable ties and not snipping the fecking ends off! Thanks for leaving a pointy bit of plastic at eye level you dwads! I must take a pair of snips with me the next time I walk into town.

Stoke on Trent.

Not unusual for Stoke to find a way of hindering people trying to pass through it. Today it was the turn of the A500. A lorry had a puncture and was having the wheel changed, causing one lane of the dual carriageway to be shut. The result was a 25 minute queue. Now the articulated lorry had 4 tyres per axle and two axles on the trailer, only one tyre was damaged. The lorry was stopped at the 100m marker board for a two lane exit slip road. Could one of the truckers please explain why the driver couldn't have rolled another 130m and put it on the slip road saving delays for hundreds of vehicles?

Ha - that reminds me of 'What Annoyed Me Today', yesterday ...

I was walking home in the dark and decided to come back by a different route to the way I normally go. I was walking along the pavement in a gloomy spot halfway between 2 streetlamps when my left eye got poked by a twig hanging down from a bush overgrowing the fence. Anybody seeing my reaction would have concluded that I had major anger management issues!

I flew into a rage and began tearing down the offending bits of vegetation. A furious cry of 'What kind of idiot lets their bush get that overgrown' reverberated down the street, rapidly followed by the sound of my laughter when I realised what that I had just said ...

It's 'scone'. It's how The Queen pronounces it.

 

[0lonerider]

2 punctures and my internet's been down all day

My late (Scottish) mum was the Queen of Scones, and she pronounced the word as 'scon'.

Remove the illegally posted laminated notices while you are at it.

Umm .. as a Welshman I can safely assert the correct pronunciation is of course sco-en

 

[Drago]

Waking up ha annoyed me. First decent nights sleep in a week because of the flu and I'm now awake and wishing for another 10 hours kip.

It's "skoon", as in the wee place outside Perth.

"At a Whammy Burger fast food restaurant, Foster becomes angry when they refuse to serve breakfast because it is three minutes into lunch."

I am annoyed with myself for getting distracted this afternoon and thinking about my 2016 Glasson Dock forum ride*** instead of concentrating on what I was doing at the time ...





... which was attempting to hit a nail with a claw hammer! In fact, I did succeed in hitting a nail , only it was not the metal one that I was aiming at!




*** The usual ride at the end of March/start of April - date to be confirmed soon
