Seymour Skinner Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That drives me nuts on the train or Subway, I can't bite my lip I have to say something usually rather loud. I do hate having to wait 5 seconds before skipping an ad on YouTube though Use adblocker. Literally saved me minutes of my life through bypassing Internet adverts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I use a plastic water bottle and just fill it up. But I didn't have one today. Well stop boring us because you are incompetent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Contact lenses. I've just started wearing them and it takes ages to get them in my eyes. Infuriating. You've probably been told this many times but you will get used to them. I used to start getting ready a lot earlier just to ensure I had time to mess about with them but I'm about a year on now and it generally takes two seconds to put them in. Probably over-reliant on them now though. My constant annoyance of a typical working day is a menopausal woman in my office who has had numerous health appointments over the last few months because of a 'swollen' stomach. One day with her and you'll clear see why it is swollen. For her 'breakfast' today she had four chicken kebabs (one in pitta bread, the other on normal white bread) then followed it up with a couple of bits of crusty bread and cheese. That's about an hour before her lunch also. Everyone panders to her and says things like 'oh it does look swollen today'. Absolute nonsense. ETA: She's also stupid. We've been moved over to Windows 7 and she is continually asking 'where is this saved now?' Same f*cking place! Work night out tonight and I'm very glad she is not attending.

Raidernation Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Wrapping presents. I just can't do it, even if it's a simple cuboid box-shape. And the sellotape is a nightmare, just gets all twisted and tangled. I should just buy gift bags and stuff the pressies in them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 On a train and 4 seats infront of me is the loud guy that everyone has to hear his conversation. What a fanny wi an annoying voice to boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo_dee Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 After being told by management at work that we would only be required to work one of boxing day and new years day, I've been put on the rota to work both, as well as Christmas Eve when I'm normally off on a Tuesday. Just pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 People who stand in shop doorways when it's raining cos they don't wanna get wet, meaning you can't get in or out the shop. Grow a pair FFS, it's only water it won't kill you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I worked in retail for about 7 years before teaching, I know how busy and difficult this time of year can get for people working in retail and hospitality. I know it is "Christmas you for you" too, and that you should not have to put up with ignorant shoppers but the street goes both ways. I was in town today and the number of shop assistants that spout utter drivel is so frustrating. I understand they had to be polite but a huge majority of them seem to try and delve into your personal life and your plans over the next week, "so what else to do you still have to buy?", "so any big plans for Christmas?", "so what are wanting to get for Christmas?". Please do shut up. I am not your friend, I will never see you again, so why would I go into detail about my festive plans, in particular when there are about a dozen shoppers behind me waiting in the same queue. I still have to do a bit of shopping tomorrow so my challenge is to now come up with the most bizarre and awkward responses I can to these questions. "Any big plans for Christmas?", "Well now that you ask I do plan on divorcing my wife and leaving her and the children behind for the latino gardener that has been working at our house, I have been planning it for a while so I thought that I could sneak out on Christmas Eve without them noticing and spend Christmas Day drinking long vodkas with my new lover." -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Dosser Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Drivers who don't indicate until they are about three yards from the junction they want to turn into. Absolute arses they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Drivers who don't indicate until they are about three yards from the junction they want to turn into. Absolute arses they are. People who indicate early or sit in filter lanes with indicators on. Southbound m90 is especially bad with folk indicating for Stirling as soon as they see the fucking castle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Drivers who don't indicate until they are about three yards from the junction they want to turn into. Absolute arses they are. I raise you those who don't indicate at all and get angry at pedestrians crossing the road because they (quite rightfully) thought the car was going straight ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I notice failure to indicate is rife among people who drive more than us plebs - bus drivers, taxis, van and Lorry drivers. Seems flicking that wee switch inches from your hand is too much effort after a while behind the wheel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
