porca misèria Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Mr B does that, and the potato peeler, when I've told him a thousand times they just need a quick rinse.

The XYY Man Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 That bastad "Netflix" button on all my remotes. Cunningly positioned adjacent to another button you use a lot - so it regularly gets pressed by accident. The twenty seconds or so before I can get to back to what I was actually watching sees the air turn a deep shade of blue at chez XYY..! Especially if I was on the "vinegar-stroke"...

LC1 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Cars with those silly rear indicators that scroll outwards instead of blinking. Make me feel an irrational rage on the motorway. I can only assume they like to think they're in Knight Rider. Tw@ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Cars that overshoot passing places on single carriageway country lanes even though they have the reaction time So I point this out to female who has 5 yards to reverse. Nope she shakes her head...I reverse 100 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever see someone letting someone out of a turning onto a busy road, or letting someone turn right off it across a busy stretch, it is invariably a man. Women think it's their God given right to go first as the 'gentler sex'. Without these small kindnesses, the system would grind to a halt. I don't even notice the gender of other drivers. I can hardly see into their cars. Actually, my cataracts mean that I turn on my foglights at inappropriate times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Sitting in a pub for quiet beer with book... End up next to 2 classic car enthusiasts hearing them discussing performance/component of various models of Leyland Daf Badger SRi sports saloon. "The problem with the Mark v is the piston washers... They chose the 4.8mm size to save money. But that prevents you fitting the leatherette glovebox door from the 1974 "picnic" special edition.

CunningPlan Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 People that reply to an email by telephone. I send a client a proof by email asking for approval. They open the email and think it is best to call me to say it is ok. Why? Equally people that send an email and then ring 3 minutes later to check I have got it. If they all stopped bloody ringing me I could respond to them all much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 People that introduce their dog like it is a person ... then continue referring to it as if it warrants your full attention.... i.e. "oooh, he likes you. say hello franky ,,,, ahh .... stroke him ...go on .... give him a stroke. ". Its. a. f*cking. dog. I actually love dogs when they have a decent temprement/inteligence .... but I just dont want the owner to go all soppy and try and engineer the situation. oh yeah, and dogs that bark or misbehave and the owner looks bemused ...... you. need. to. f*cking. train it. dogs work in packs. you need to be a strong pack leader.

MSE refugee Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cushions! Me and the Missus are buying a couple of sofa's they look very nice too. The wife said she will have to get some new cushions for the new sofa's. The thing is the sofa's are displayed in the shop without any cushions on them and they look very stylish. In fact the cushions are the first thing I remove before I sit down as they are uncomfortable, is there any point in them and is it a woman thing. Also don't get me started on those stupid cushions on beds in hotels that you have to take off before you can get into the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riedquat Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Beds piled with cushions are annoying, not so much on the sofa though where I find they do help me get a bit more comfortable (and make handy pillows for a snooze). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not ringing to see if you got the email. They know that you did. They're doing it because they want the answer now and they suspect that you will provide it immediately if they call. And if you do, they will do it again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishinWales Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Food fortified with (synthetic) vitamins that don't exist in that food in its natural state e.g. juice fortified with calcium. Very irresponsible in my opinion. We don't know the long term effects of messing with food this way. Nature knows best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hand dryer hogs in the Gents.....taking ages even when they are aware there is someone waiting. Tbh I can quite happily leave with wet hands so why the hell this absolutely dry mentality. Indeed when confronted with a hog I just leave and if someone is waiting a couple of seconds out of courtesy not three bloody cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmonitor Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Celebrities who give critiques of eras when they were barely out of nappies. Just had Samira Ahmed born 1968 giving a commentary about what she thought about Rising Damp in 1974 re. political correctness. God the girl was 6, may be BBC future employees already had an opinion on such things but I doubt it. What is it with these I remember 1970s programmes wheeling out celebs that didn't but wanteveybody to think they were old enough to. They often have Peter Kaye also, aged about minus one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
