What's a QS? He was a posh bloke probably born into lots of money. He had something about him which made you think he went to oxford or Cambridge. Eton as well, I don't doubt......
I'm only just getting started 1. The constant use of the word 'like' - as in 'I was like so annoyed' - NO! either you were ****ing annoyed or you weren't. 2. People who dawdle particularly in airports. 3. People who park opposite a junction because that's where their house is. 4. McDonalds - its just ****e 5. People who insist on taking over sized bags inside the cabin on an airplane and filling the overhead locker with just there ****. 6. English people abroad who will only eat English food. 7. Bad buffet etiquette, bastards who pile their plates high when there is still a long queue behind them. 8. People who insist you dance and just won't leave you alone until you do - **** them very mutchly 9. Pot holes in the road that are the size of meteor impact craters. 10. Microsoft Office, specifically Word - what drugs were the developers on when they sorted out the formatting.
Airlines and their rip-off charges. When the **** did they all decide that you have to pay if you want a cup of tea or charge you extra if you have luggage? Booking fees. ( That includes you QPR. ) Poor customer service and the fact that the customer is always right no longer exists. Far too many companies now hold us all in contempt, and if you correctly challenge them they refuse to deal with you and put the phone down. They use the excuse that you've been aggresive or rude when you haven't. Mobile phone companies. Supermarket check-out staff who ask me if I need a bag for my 25 items. No thanks love, I'm a ****ing world class juggling champ!
Couldn't agree more. Even worse, for me, is how 'literally' is misused. In the car: i) People who go around and then cut in to a busy lane to avoid a long traffic jam ii) Middle lane hogs iii) Cyclists iv) Old people v) Middle-aged BMW drivers vi) women in 4x4s vii) Any 50mph zone on a motorway. Elsewhere, people who use a trolley with £50 of stuff in the self-scanner, people who don't understand how to place a simple bet on Grand National day or at the football, moaning at others for standing at a football match, anyone over the age of 12 wearing a replica football shirt unless for a very special occasion such as a cup final particularly if there is a name printed on the back, fat birds dressing like their fitter mates in Summer. Bound to think of some more in a bit.
Let it flow Cannock. Number 5 really resonates with me, to the extent that I now check in even overnight bags, everything but a battered leather briefcase which contains my iPad (the wonders of cloud storage mean I no longer have to drag a laptop around) and a book. This goes under the seat in front of me, my jacket on the hook on the drop down tray and I no longer fight for overhead storage space, just smirk at the panic stricken fools who do. Its a few minutes wait at the carousel, but well worth it. Competitive drinkers. Took me sometime to notice it but this is the essential difference between rugby followers and football supporters of a certain age. I like both sports and have specific circles of friends for them. My rugby mates argue about which beer to drink, have rigid rounds geared to the fastest drinker, think its clever to have chasers and play drinking games. They all get pissed very quickly. My football mates are much more relaxed endurance drinkers, we bung some cash in a kitty, people drink what they want when they want and we keep going for a weekend in Edinburgh with few mishaps (well slight exaggeration). Much more fun.
I fall into category (v). Sorry. vi) especially pushing in/ trying racing starts in school car parks when you are trying to get to work, and they are off to a drink disgusting 'coffee' in a chain coffee shop. I have been known to yell "sorry, I didn't realise you were off to perform life saving brain surgery, or was it to foil a terrorist plot?'.
The price of cross dressing has gone through the roof People using the word basically in complicated talk about bollocks I always cut in and say thank **** for that as I am a real ****witt and can only deal in the basic level
Simon Cowell, Fireman Sam, BMW X5 & those who drive them, Danny Murphy's wife, Stella Artois for lowering the alc%, speed bumps, the phrase "gastro pub", the mood my Missus has come home in, Bermondsey, Diet Coke, liquorice
Gain seeking late lane changers drive me nuts. I do my best to keep them out, but they just head further up and pick on someone else. They are road bullies and need to be left in the wrong lane by everyone, being laughed at by us as we crawl by and suffering the wrath of the few who really want to go to hampstead garden suberb. **** builders who think you can build a house with dry wall adhesive and an army of hoodie apprentices who earn them £30 a day and are charged out at a skilled rate. **** builders who ram a building site full of crap from other jobs and expect you to get on with it. **** builders who mistake cables sticking out of walls for coat hooks. **** builders who disrespect their clients. **** builders Tailgaters Drunks Litterers People who "didn't notice" their dog taking a dump in the park. Creaky floorboards Untidy fuse boards Brand new cables that are twisted and creased and don't bend on the same curve as the ones next to them Pissed sockets and switches Bad manors Never knowing what my next door neighbour looks like naked.
The price of a can of coke/chocolate bar/packet of crisps. And the fact that all chocolate bars are not only twice the price of last year but half the size as well! £5.20 for a pint of beer in the pub next to the tate modern! European law of human rights. Europeans. Health and safety. Car light bulbs! You have change one a week. Package holiday flights. TV being saturated with cooking shows. Alan shearer. Builders and scaffolders. Shops/supermarkets/banks etc, who only have one till/counter open at the busiest period! And people who are behind you in a queue rushing in front of you when a new till opens up. Hypocritic doctors and nurses telling us not to eat/drink/smoke too much, when that's exactly what they do! I had mates who were medical students, I don't remember them being sober. Travel agents trying to send me to dubai, and over promoting it! I can't imagine a more boring place to holiday.
Are you in the building trade yourself? Watch out with the neighbour:- [video=youtube;dWCrRNi3ops]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWCrRNi3ops&feature=youtu.be&a[/video]
Just back from hols so... Pet hate... Mothers (who drink two bottles of red wine) and allows their obnoxious 4 year old to pushes past you every 5 minutes to see his grandmother in row 11, who then runs shrieking up and down the aisle pushing back past you every other 5 minutes. Who then stands on the seat to play with the lights and falls on the wine spilling it all over everyone. and cries and mews and spits (for 4hrs 37 minutes...yes counting).....and when asked if she can shut him up...says "OOOOh no he is hyperactive"...what the **** am I suppose to say...."ah poor didums I did not realise?" So... Kids on planes Easyjet Hyperactive kids Mothers who cannot control their kids Mothers who drink to forget their kids 4 year old boys 4 year old boys mothers 4 year old boys grandmothers 4 year old boys grandmothers who sit in row 11 Anyone who ever is related to a 4 year old kid on a plane Have I made myself clear and PS Mark Hughes too
Good point well made. Cheers for that! Oh and N22, if you're reading, mum's the word buddy. I'm an electrician by trade, but am capable in other fields.
I never understand this...........my pet hate are workmen who think they're entitled to a ****ing 3 course lunch AS WELL as being paid for their services!!
