Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

It may well be bring your kid to work day at my office.

I'm the only person here and don't have children though. But eating grapes and listening to very bad wizards podcasts is definitely the order of the day.

Apparently, a hastily-arranged table football "tournament" begins in the canteen at 1:30. I'm sure the 40+ kids are going to really enjoy watching each other play on the single table.

They should do that on building sites....... :)

Obviously it costs money but send an email to HR persons who organise these things suggesting they get these guys to entertain next time:

I will do. I can think of no obvious reason why they didn't do something like that in the first place. There's plenty budget for events of this type.

Sorry to hear that. I mean, I'm not sorry you're hurt, I'm sorry I wasn't there to laugh at you.

Having to pay £3 to park your car at a National Trust car park just so that you can be ripped off at their ' cafes ' which don't offer anything hot other than the tea you have to make yourself - then onto another car park so that you can walk along a stretch of Hadrian's Wall only this time it's owned by Northumberland Council so more money for parking .
Not as bad as Woolacombe , North Devon which ripped me off for £11 to park my car , must be better than owning a casino .

Stupid TV adverts from big, national companies that say "Sale ends soon!" yet it never actually ends, because they are back the following week with the same crap.
Does anyone really still fall for that?
Also, related, the annoyingly cheesy grin woman from the SCS adverts; "Give me five" Go f*** yourself, you daft ****.
Yes, I am drunk/angry because both West Ham and Hereford lost today.
