Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Woken up by a group of louts this morning who I could tell were laughing hysterically because one of them had kicked a bus stop. We really haven't evolved that far from apes as a species.

I seriously wasn't, it was just such a very rude awakening by a bunch of Neanderthals. I felt like shouting out the window "what's so funny?!" How is it possible to laugh that much and that loudly at anything?

Obviously they knew you lived close to that bus stop, and just decided it was time you were getting up.

A lot of people live near this bus stop and would have been woken up! Happens most Saturday nights tbf but this one was particularly irritating.

Maybe they'd been drinking...

I used to suffer from the same thing when living close to the centre of Inverness as neanderthals made their drunken way home - usually around 3.30am. I would just pull the bedcovers over my head, but my partner would invariably shout out the window at them, threatening to call the police. That always just made matters worse.

I lived in a quiet wee street in a quiet wee village as a kid. Every Saturday night, about 15 minutes after kicking out time at the golf club's bar, a normally respectable neighbour would stop outside and bellow a selection of Rangers "party songs" at the Celtic supporting household across the street.

Some people are just absolute reprobates with the drink and never grow out of it. I can honestly say I will never in my life laugh hysterically at a person kicking a bus stop no matter how much alcohol I have in me.

You're really being a bit hard on the apes there - I'm not convinced that, as a species we evolved from them.

I've watched David Attenborough work with apes on several of his natural world programmes over the years - they are just such a much nicer species than we are. You won't see them kicking bus stops in the middle of the night/early morning and laughing hysterically, while at the same time, studying porn on their smart phones.

How bad is it G_man? I had the worst case of it 2 years ago when I took my top off for a few hours on a 26 degree day. I still feel traumatised thinking about it.

Down at the Farm-Foods Father-in-Law's this weekend. Beautiful and sunny on the East Coast apparently. Freezing and shit across here. Fucking seething.

It was 23 or something in Glasgow yesterday - blue skies etc. I got sunburned playing golf. I don't understand how it could be freezing 15 miles away in Balloch.

What village was this?

When you wear shorts for the first time in a while and someone oh so hilariously comments "So you do have legs!" or some other similarly side splitting derivative.

Firstly, pish clichéd patter. Secondly, how else did they suppose I ambulated previously?

Maybe they assumed you were an amputee?
