Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Was 'working' in a nice building (they call it a business centre, its basically a block of flats) which houses mostly insurance, solicitors/lawyers etc. I visited its conservatory cafe. 

2 x Tuna mayo rolls and a slice of cake. 

£10. Exact. 

The tuna was rancid as well. Disgusting day all round.

It's not children buying garlic bulbs so why are supermarkets treating us like them? First person should not be used for inanimate objects.

I’ve always kept garlic in the fridge. Sounds like your garlic’s given you some handy advice even if you didn’t appreciate its friendly demeanour.

Watched an old version of the Chase last night and the question was “Alan Sillitoe wrote The Loneliness of the Long Distance…”

The wifie said “Lorry Driver”.

Harrowing.

Managers making weird selection/tactical decisions before reverting back to the norm by half-time.

Trying to 'outsmart' their opposite number and 99 times out of 100 it backfires as the players end up confused and/or unable to play this one-off formation and style and you end up on the end of a hiding.

Restaurants that, upon you asking for the bill, bring it and then don't come back for about half an hour for you to actually pay it.

If they don't come back within ten minutes, your meal is free.

It's true, a bloke told me in the pub.

I've never understood why if I'm sat with the wife or maybe just the 4 of us do they drop the bill off and f**k off again.

Fair enough a large group will require time to break down the bill but if it's just me and the Mrs I'd quite like to pay it as soon as you drop it off at my table.

Something happened to me about an hour ago and it happened to me about 2 weeks ago too.  Heading out to the shop as I needed a couple of things and as soon as I lock my front door a van pulls up to deliver a parcel to next door and the arse of his van is across my driveway.  Meaning I've got to sit like a fud for a minute plus in my car waiting for him while he waits for the woman next door to eventually answer the door.

Park in front of her driveway you daft cunt.  I know it's 2 minutes maximum but surely you park over the driveway you're delivering to?  There's fuck all other vehicles parked in the street so it's not as if he didn't have any choice.

Very PTYGOYN and fucking annoying.

Had a job years back in Edinburgh where folk would double park. A couple of times this slob had blocked me in. He knew I knew it was his car so would expect me to chap his door and ask him to move. I’d just open his car, release the handbrake and shove it down the street.

The other options were relationship and runner.

So 2 of them were interchangeable...

Card in hand ready to pay when they bring the bill usually solves that.
