Things that make you ask why? WHY?

[PolaDeVeboise]

Mine is people who select the 'receipt' option at a cashpoint and then walk away leaving it hanging out of the machine. Why? WHY?

*Pengrin

LED headlights. Why are you trying to blind and kill me?*

They think it makes them safer. You're not safe if we have a head on collision because I can't see where the fucking road is any more!

Furthermore, people who get right up your backside when you're stuck behind someone going too slow. What do you want me to do, ram them off the road with my little Golf?

Lack of lights on the M1. Gawd! I need to see to drive safely and it's fucking dark.
You say it will be a "smart motorway". I just want a lit motorway!

People who use "myself" when they mean "me". "Please do not hesitate to contact myself"- it's ME, you fuckwit, and if you think it makes you look smarter you're very wrong.

Thankfully not around as much as a few years ago, but too-dark foundation with hair bleached and toned to cream then piled on top of head. Looked like an Mr Whippy.

Why do all home magazines these days declare rooms have a "pop" of colour! Grrrrr

Those ready made jacket potatoes that you can shove in the microwave. You can do that with normal potatoes anyway, so what's the point?

The skins are much nicer because they've already been baked. Microwaving 'raw' potatoes just gives flabby skin

Why do my children need to use 453 plasters for a (probably imaginary) blister? As soon as I’ve restocked them they’re all gone again. They’re 14 and 15. Why haven’t they grown out of this?

This is light hearted but why, whenever I say I’m popping out to the supermarket, does DH say he’ll come too, which is fine, but when we;re half way there he always, always, announces two or three other errands he wants to run. For fs, I only wanted a quick trip to the supermarket not to spend half the morning out!

PS I,love him really

People who stand on the wrong side of the escalator at rush hour. You can SEE all of the people standing one on side and all of the people walking down the other
WYou People who don’t know what direction they are going on the picadilly line and stop dead in between the 2 at Holborn
Every fucking day there is a pile up when someone decides to stop dead and have a think about what way they are going, causing everyone walking behind them, who DO know where they are going to crash into the back of them

My DCs apprent inability to text a word without adding random letters- yesss, thanksss, gooddd, byeee
What the fuck?

Tantrums I don't even get words from DS2. I just get 'idk' or 'ikr' or similar.

@sparkling I get those too and they annoy me. But for some reason the ADDING of random letters infuriates me , it’s ridiculous

Looking at it positively Tantrums we are at least getting a form of communication I suppose.

"I do like hard core cardio but not being shouted at at the same time. I'm in a budget gym so when it's on it's often close to the other machines so I can hear GI joe shouting "

Despite being a budget one, my gym has a sauna. You have to listen to the same clubbing-type music in the sauna and it just kills the relaxation.

@Gwenhwyfar argh! It is JD gyms by any chance? I know they are cheap but also have a sauna- there's just not as many branches as the one I'm in so it's less convenient . I wonder who possessed them to have music on it it ?!

Another one. Why oh why have i just cooked 3 jacket spuds for 1.30.....only to find 2 have SLUGS IN THEM!!!!!
I need a potato x-ray machine.

Why do London Buses stop for aaaaaaaages at bus stops blaring out that message, “The bus driver has been asked to wait at the next bus stop to help even out the service...” when I’d already been waiting 15 fucking minutes for it to arrive, and now this incessant waiting is making me more fucking late. If there was no bus in front for 15 minutes surely the bus I’m on should speed up?

And cut out leggings. Why?

"@Gwenhwyfar argh! It is JD gyms by any chance?"

Nope. I suppose they just have one sound 'thing' and that pumps out the same kind of music everywhere.

Imma just leave this here.

JLo wyd babes?

People who have fish badges on the back of their cars. If you are going to advertise that you are a Christian it might be just as well to drive like one, not shoot across roundabouts without looking or drive at 40 in a 30.

Why anyone watches Mrs Brown's Boys.

Edit. 'The trouser edit'. What you mean is 'here are some trousers'.

I'm looking at you Hobbs.

People who talk like they're a blog, and refer to their child as 'the small person' or 'the smalls' , or the ones that make out that they're such clumsy parents who forget everything and drink Prosecco for breakfast. And in some perverse back to front way that makes them feel like they're better parents. Social media has a lot of why, why, why's to answer for!

3 quarter or short length coats worn with skirts that don't show below. Some clothing is meant to show below unless it's a full length coat, so often folk look like they have 'fur' coat and no knickers!

Chewing with ones mouth open - we are neither a cow nor a cod fish.

If you drink too much fluid...you piss it out, so then WHY if I eat too much food can I not poo it out and stay slim and healthy, why?

OMG, I'm so annoyed now. The stomach is so fucking lazy compared to the kidneys. "Right, chocolate bar. Don't need that. Keep those two biscuits, she's going for a run later."

(though I used to think it should be the case that once you've decided to lose weight, you should just get to be the size you wanted to be, then the exercise/diet allowed you to keep that body... until i realised that that was basically what I started with...)

Tip on discrete vs discreet.

In the data one, it refers to separate sets - so the 't' separates the two 'e's.

The other one is the other one
