Things that annoy you, that shouldn't..

[Rhythm Thief]

People who think they can lecture me about how much I drink or smoke, or my penchant for the occasional spliff. It's no one's business but mine.

 

[Aperitif]

people that say 'can i just ask a question'...did'nt give me much choice there...you just did! twat!

good one - it happens where I work.
Stupidity

Those utterly meaningless live link ups on the news where the correspondent on the ground has nothing to say which could not have been recorded earlier and then, because the link up has been made, the simpering twat in the studio asks the reporter to fill the gap with pointless speculation which is not news.

The fact that on the link ups they insist on getting each others Christian names in at least five times. Why do they assume that we have the least interest in their names?

The fact that studio newsreaders are paired and one of them gives the first line of a story and the second one then takes over with "Yes ..."

On the international news channels where the presenter says "I'm Joe Bloggs etc". Why? It's brash and somehow egotisitical. What's wrong with a caption with the geezer's name at the bottom?

The tabloid backed pseudo nationalism that erupts around international football tournaments when In ger lund are playing.

Having to waste my life working, I've got much better things to do for fox ache.

100% spot on Andy - this was a facet of my rant about 'News 24' last night - a pot of nothingness...I'm sure the reporters are more 'astute' than they give on...aren't they?

MBT's - Milk before tea.

Brew the tea first, then add milk!

It annoys me to see someone doing this, even if the cup of tea isn't for me!

 

[dangerousjules]

oh i hear you ajevans i'd kill a man for less...like people that leave the tea bag in for a nano second just enough time to change the colour of the water then pull it out, i feel like slapping the side of their head and telling to put the feckin bag back in!

Just remembered a real bugbear. Ridiculously gimmicky razor blades from the like of Gillette and Wilkinson sword.

5 blades? 1 cut to hair, 4 to irritate the skin. The fact that you have to an extra one to cut tricky areas is proof of a poor design.

Each successive design offers no real improvement on the shaving experience, it's just an excuse to ratchet up the price.

One good quality blade is far better than 5 cheap ones stuck together.

Discovering high quality double edged safety razors used with a brush was an epiphany.

People who offer you a cup of tea, then several minutes later profer some insipid cup of witches piss, posing as tea.

People who start a sentence by saying any of the following;

'With respect' (which really means 'with complete lack of respect')
'No offence, but...' (which really means 'this will definitely offend you')
'I'm not being funny, but...' (which really means 'I'm definitely being funny')
'To be honest' (which really means 'I'm about to be completely dishonest')
