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.

The words "vibe" and "Brainstorming"

Tbh I could probably do an entire thread on words that irritate me. I'll start with these 2 for now.

The jam goes well past my house both mid morning as they all arrive and the opposite way in the evening as they all try to leave. Combine it with the perpetual roadworks at Hampton and it's utter gridlock.

Luckily I know the back roads ;)

I hear you. Fourth day of biking since last September. 30 degrees and 15mph headwind.

Like riding in treacle with a mouth like Gandhi's flip flop.

not many, actually.
last summer (or the one before?) was particularly long, by your standards, and the "little things in life that make you smile" thread was way hotter than the "little things that irritate you" one.
must mean something.

Got one of those letters today from the quacks to say I am due for one of those NHS health checks.
This will end in tears :lol:

only been to the quacks once in ten years and that was due to being in pain after going arse over tit whilst being as pissed as an OAP's mattress , even then that was 9 days after the event, turned out I had broke my arm socket

My 2 year old son's new kit arrived yesterday, I put him in it to take a pic to send to the family. He then started drawing with a biro so I asked my missus to take the pen off him and put the kit away (I was going out on an errand) . Just found the shirt with biro ink on the sleeve. Clearly taking the pen off him and putting the kit away actually means take the pen and kit and put them six inches away from each other in a place where he can easily find them. Fuming! Headbanger

Getting the first aider at work to check my arm to be told it's actually an insect bite that has become infected (couldn't see it myself) resulting in swelling and pain. Now loaded up with anti-histamines and anti-inflamatories
