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.

Know the type alas. What gets me is when they raise their head when talking to you so as to look down their nose. No, sorry shortarse it just looks childish.

That stupid way of talking that the majority of todays youth seem to speak in,the way they dress.
...oh and that silly little walk they seem to have. Also when people are on a mobile and decide to move the handset from their ear to their mouth to talk.Headbanger

Basically I hate everything about the youth and wish I was born in another era.

Can't argue with that. I get overlooked by most people

Still back on subject.........

Loading the dishwasher full of mugs and when you go to find one there are none in the cupboard.......surely it takes just as long to wash it up by hand than to put it in the dishwasher and search for another cup.

When you have just hoovered the car out and someone gets in with muddy feet,eats a bag of crisps or leave chocolate wrapper in the door pocket or in the centre console.

Drivers who don't say thank you after I let them out.
The way the missus always seems to want to yak at me when I'm reading or watching something on the tele.
The way she spends all of Sunday ignoring me just because I strolled in at half 6 that morning completely ****ed.
Any mention of Christmas before December.
Any mention of "The holiday season".
People who interrupt me while I'm eating my lunch when their pointless inane question could easily wait 15 minutes.
The endless talking and really, really **** "games" on commercial radio during the morning and evening commutes.
People who don't quote what I tell them to quote and instead try to flog me something that I don't want or need.

Good call. That ****'s me off something chronic. My wife treats my car as a mobile bin.

I don't even drive and this pisses me off when I'm in a car. I do thank anyone who lets me cross at a zebra crossing, even though they legally have to, I actually feel bad for stopping a driver to cross the road. Jeez I must be the nicest pedestrian in the world :D

The phrase "I've just sent you an email".

Yes you have, and the reason I haven't replied 30 seconds after you hit send is because I'm doing something else.

Another one for drivers that do not acknowledge your "excellent driving and manners".

Biggest gripe, pedestrian crossings, acknowledge me that I have stopped for you to cross you rude chubby chasing mother f**kers!!!

Manners again, if I hold a door open for you, acknowledge me you ****!

It's all about manners innit!

People who use crisps as a shovel when eating them with dip. It's called dip, not scoop.

People with no manners

as above, people who try and get on the tube before you've even had a chance to get off
people who get on the tube then huff when there's no seat on the central line at 09.30am. - they are getting off in 6 minutes and they cannot stand for that amount of time.
Foreigners on the tube with massive rucksack's on their back at 09.30 or 17.30
The tube.

People who walk along texting and dont ****ing look where they are going - this is mostly women telling their **** of a boyfriend that they are on the way home - which ready meal shall i pick up for dinner.

cyclists who cycle on the pavement in london
cyclists who cycle the wrong way down a 1 way street then moan at you if you happen to walk out in front of them.
Cyclists who jump the lights
Cyclists

Motorcyclists who feel the need to sit at the lights revving their engines and then go on orange despite the fact that there are people still crossing.

This is my kind of thread!

Listening to people in supermarkets moan because they've moved the jam or something to a different aisle as if its the end of the world. Just use your eyes and look for the signage boards or use some common i.e. stop looking for Hartleys Blackcurrant in the fresh meat aisle and try thinking logically.

Queing in a supermarket when there are 'middle managers' wandering round looking gormless instead of doing something productive like opening more checkouts.

Girls who climb on their boyfriends shoulders at concerts just so as THEY can get a better view and be spotted on TV without giving a sh*t to the consideration of people behind them.

The way Tess Daly says 'judges' and 'couples' on Strictly makes me chuck something at the TV

People who say 'pardon' when you tell them you've got an ear infection as if its the funniest joke on earth.

Radio 5 live presenters who have to work a football analogy into every single story they discuss as if to sound trendy and with it.

Adrian Chiles (little in height if not girth)

Wrong size clothes being on the wrong size hangers (mostly M&S)

Watching Paramount Comedy and them showing the exact same repeat episode of a programme they showed last week and yet the series in question has about 200 episodes to choose from.

People from the home counties who put on a 'Mockney' accent - should be a law passed to shoot them
