Re: Little things that irritate you
This young female who comes to the far side of a zebra crossing and throws a shape that she is stepping off the footpath. I am very close to the crossing but stop anyway.
Then she stays there and slowly turns around with her back to the road and doesn't cross just stays there motionless.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Likewise the c***s who have decided that it's quite a good idea to step off before they get to the crossing so that by the time you're driving over the crossing, they are nearly on it & get all arsey about you nearly hitting them.ageing hammer wrote:This young female who comes to the far side of a zebra crossing and throws a shape that she is stepping off the footpath.

I'll stop for you if you're on a crossing or waiting at a crossing but I don't see why I should stop if you're jaywalking on your way to the crossing. You're just taking the p**s.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Tesco Express, with their staff wheeling the restocking cages about in the already narrow aisles mid afternoon.
4 aisles in my local one. Im stood there having a think about what bread to buy, and I have to move out of the way. Go to the next aisle and there is one there too. Every aisle.
Restock before opening?

Re: Little things that irritate you
persistent flies or wasps.
Not any old fly or wasp , but the ones that pester you when you're holding a beer or food, the ones you try to swat 10 times but the flash little ****s still come back for more

A wasp flew into my beer at the weekend, the fecker drowned and I couldn't get it out so I took the half full glass back into the pub and told the barman what happened. He filled me another fresh pint and then charged me for it. I have been drinking in there 17 flipping years ffs.

Re: Little things that irritate you
The company whining over my refusal to take anything lower than a business class flight back from Texas. I'm prepared to fly Premium on the outbound (daytime) leg, but I'm f*cked if I'm going to accept trying to sleep sitting up on the overnight return.
Facts are a) I don't want to go anyway, and consider business travel to be a fundamental pain in the scrotum and b) the travel policy says we can go Business for flights over 8 hours. They're just being cheap, and I can't be f*cking doing with it.

The tight-fisted c****. IIRC Houston is about 9 hours away. It is unreasonable to ask you to do that.DasNutNock wrote:The company whining over my refusal to take anything lower than a business class flight back from Texas.

FWIW I think my company lets you go business on anything over five hours. You also have the choice to go PE or economy on those longer flights and they will give you 50% of the difference between the cost of business class and PE/economy, whichever you choose.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I think they're meant to offer similar terms here, but for the £500 or so I'd be collecting (which I suspect is subject to income tax), I think I'd rather have a proper kip.EvilC wrote:You also have the choice to go PE or economy on those longer flights and they will give you 50% of the difference between the cost of business class and PE/economy, whichever you choose.

Re: Little things that irritate you
It is and I agree, I'd do the same. PE for the day flight, business for the night flight. It's ****ing out of order for them to quibble about this stuff.DasNutNock wrote:I think they're meant to offer similar terms here, but for the £500 or so I'd be collecting (which I suspect is subject to income tax), I think I'd rather have a proper kip.

Seconded. Give me a good regular bread roll any day for a burger. The Brioche bun is just wrong.BalaamBoy wrote:Brioche-type buns on a burger.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I got told two pretty hideous horsefly 'facts' by a medic, recently:FrankieMacsPerm wrote:Horsefly bites - got 4 around my ankles - bleeding sore and itchy as hell, blistered as well!! Aaargh!
1. The horsefly, unlike the mosquito, for instance, has a more jagged 'bite', meaning that the consequence is always a larger bitemark, but, perhaps more grisly
2. The horsefly has proteins in its saliva that are much more different from the proteins hosted in the saliva of most other biting insects. This is why they seem to itch so much more. The protein is so alien to our general systems that it takes our bodies a lot longer to break it all down and have away with it.
Conclusion: horseflies are from hell, if not from outer space.
Kill them! Kill them with fire!
Re: Little things that irritate you
I agree, there is a time and a place for a delicious brioche, ideally Sunday morning lightly toasted with butter and/or jam of choice (apricot if I'm being continental, otherwise raspberry, strawberry or blackcurrant)somerset-hammer wrote:

NOT other side of a medium-cooked juicy burger, tomato, onions, lettuce and mustard combo.
I'm with Dover on this one!
Re: Little things that irritate you
Nah I’m with Somerset, they make a burger and also a hotdog much more tasty
