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.

Yes, very annoying, sbh.
Although some modern machines show, on a little screen, exactly how long is left to go. And when times up, the door can be opened instantly.
Very pleasing.

Mouthbreathers. For f***'s sake, what is wrong with these people? How hard is it to just breathe through your ****ing nose?

Except they're about as accurate as those Windows progress indicator bars, when they stop at 100% for several minutes. Or hours.

Two germans having a loud, long conversation, near my desk. Why don't you goose-step back over to your desks and prattle away there instead?

We went retro a few years back and got a billy basic top loader. Boil loads done in minutes not hours, no complicated programs, the drum is the right way up so no worn out bearings and the best bit? When you start a load and discover the wandering sock that's been left out you just lift the lid and pop it in..........

Playing 5 a side last night and the opposing team dishing out the physicals but not liking it back in return.

"Oh, we're playing like that are we? I can play like that if that's what you want."

"Mate, you've been playing like that all game!"

Good job this was getting near to the end of the game as CB311 was starting to go full Roy Keane.

Surveying the kitchen I spent £20k on last winter, utterly destroyed by my wife and kid.

Also, I know I'm getting old and grumpy but how many times does CH have to be thanked for his very useful daily update

We can never thank him enough. It got to the point before his last hiatus where he'd get the occasional murmur of gratitude, and I think he started to ask himself why he bothered doing it.

He doesn't do it for our thanks, but we should never take his hard work for granted.

It's just simply manners mate, If a person holds a door open for you every day would you suddenly stop saying thank you just because they have done it before? :)

Absolutely.

Also, and i hope CH doesn't mind me saying, his eyesight isn't the greatest, so i can imagine it takes him a fair bit of time to sort this out each day. That's without adding to the other various threads such as the New Kits one.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I appreciate the time and effort CH puts in to bringing us a news and gossip page, takes me long enough to quote people and post pictures, videos etc. so god knows how long it takes him to do all that before most people are awake.

Cheers CH :thup:

Jesus Christ, these ****ing kittens are insane. They're like a cartoon whirlwind of destruction, chaos and vomit. I should have just invited the traveller camp in the park up the road to stay for a couple of weeks. The house would still smell of s*** but at least I'd get my drive tarmaced. And they probably wouldn't eat my slippers.

I'll swap them both for the Pug puppy that we've just got. I've nicknamed him TT because he's a tiny terror, like he's possessed by something evil. Every morning, from the moment he wakes up, he's on a permanent mission to terrorise me, the missus, the other pets and anything else he sees fit. This also includes my trainers, boots, trouser hems, hair and furniture. His favourite toy? Oh, that'd be my beard which he takes great delight in pouncing on when I least expect it.
