Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Was in a car park recently where there was a minimum £2 charge.

As I'm paying for my parking a woman comes up behind me and says "oh £2 minimum! I've only got 90p, do you think if I put that in I'll get a 'part-ticket'?"

No, no i fucking don't. Being a lovely person I gave her £1.10 but I wasn't happy about it.

You're nicer than me. I'd have been along the lines of "yer fucked then aren't you" :lol:

Been to the cinema twice this year, both occasions I have been annoyed by folk on their phones during the film, not the trailers or adverts, but the film.

You may have it on silent but in a dark cinema the light of the screen flashing as another vital instagram message about someone's dinner appears on their screen.

If you can't put your phone off or even just away for 1.5 - 2 hours in the cinema and respect that it is fucking distracting others when your screen lights up,

then you are just an self-obsessed ignorant twat.

I always time my cinema visits so that there will be a minimum of folk there. People tend to be utter dicks at the cinema.

I had a doctor come in one day all flustered because he didn't realise he had to pay for parking and had no change. So I gave him £2 and he said he'd drop it back when he had bought his lunch later that day. He never bothered his arse. p***k was a specialist on emergency call from Moorfields as well. Probably making six figures.

Really regret not keying his motor.

Folk who check their balance at the ATM, then get a printout of the balance and then proceed to make a withdrawal and again get a receipt. Then, and this is what kills it for me, they get their card back and then insert it again and get another balance printout. It happens in about 25% of cases where I am. I can only assume they don't trust the bank. As you can imagine, there is a queue forming behind and no fucks are given. A classic happened Christmas Eve - massive line at the ATM and the girl in front actually called her friend (i assume to get a PIN or something) whilst she was using the machine. Speechless - well, i wasn't and a few audible FFS's were uttered.

These are people who struggle with arithmetic.
Q. How much money do I have in my account?
A. £120.
Take out £20
Q. How much money do I have in my account now?
A. £100.

.. either that or the person standing behind them looks a bit shady!

Aldi/Lidl cashiers that batter every item through at 100mph and demand payment immediately while I'm spilling my messages all over the place. Just gies a fucking minute!
Ps, I like the just f**k everything back in the trolley and pack over there idea but I need a chance to get my stuff in the trolley, I'm no an octopus!


This is the reason I love aldi. Keeping up with the cashier is a good indicator of how close you are to death.

Pressing the button waiting to cross a road for someone else to press it straight after. 

Do you think I pretended to press it for a fucking laugh? 

People who still press the button when the I'm the only car in view for miles. I've actually seen these fuckers press and cross the road before the light has changed as it's not busy.

Usually happens whilst the fuckwit in front is still fannying about with their bags and you have about 10 items scanned before you can get near it.

I am still training the wife on how to load and pack. Chilled in with veg. Juice and frozen together. Its a living nightmare

On the flip side wandering up to a pedestrian crossing, there's already a good number of folk there, ye wait ages for the green man to come up and then ye glance over and realise not a single one of these mind cripples has bothered pressing the button...

During the day most lights are on a timed pattern so I never bother pressing.
I hate pressing the button as usually a natural break in traffic appears and I'm across before lights have gone red.

This may be an urban myth but I heard there's a vibrating knob under the button box for blind people to pleasure themselves before crossing.

People who insist on scratching their scratchcards at the fucking counter.


Always scheme goblins with zero self awareness.

Been in queue behind these morons, and they didn't move from till, while they checked them. Then bought more and were about to check those, when they were hunted.

Morons like this should be shot.

I used to press the button to try and time it so it would go red for the next BMW driver.

Must start doing that again.

I thought the thing about the spinner was an urban myth, until I checked for myself a few weeks ago.

People moved further away from me on the pavement - I'm still not sure if it was to give the poor visually impaired man more room to cross, or because they thought I was some sort of deviant, feeling up the crossing box with a smile on my face.

Pelican crossing at the southern exit of St Machar roundabout in Aberdeen changes the lights as soon as you press the button. Great for the urban 4x4s.
