Why is the background music/sound effects on TV dramas these days so loud it drowns out the actors' voices? Angry

Why are buildings so overheated these days? Why can't people just put a jumper on?

Why is my country ruined (Ireland) upset this evening

Lovesdogsandcats · 21/11/2010 22:24

Why do shops get christmas decorations up in oct/nov, and then easter stuff on shelves on Boxing day?

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 21/11/2010 22:25

Rat, I visited Edinburgh. I didn't see a single tram. Ive never seen a tram! Sad
what I want to know is why the hell teenage boys have to wear saggy bloody trousers?! Especially as most of them have rank greying underwear!!! FGS pull your bastarding trousers up!!!

Portofino · 21/11/2010 22:26

Yes, put a jumper on! In my perimenopausal state I am always boiling. Why should the heating be on all the time? And the TV too! I hate it. Please turn it off rather than have crap on all the time. Only turn it on when there is something quality like CSI that I want to watch.

VictoriasLittleKnownSecret · 21/11/2010 22:36

why do old people shop at weekends - stick to mid week and leave the workers free run at weekends
(I know this is ageist but I'm indulging my GOW tonight)

onceamai · 21/11/2010 22:41

Speed bumps, customers at shop counters having mobile phone conversations, sales calls, bank counter staff trying to sell me financial products when all I want to do is pay in a cheque, the modern version of the Lords Prayer, happy clappy evengelism, etc., etc. Will come back.

CommanderDrool · 21/11/2010 22:47

Thought of another one.

I do not want to be blasted by 'music' while shopping, sipping a cappuccino or taking a piss.

Sometimes this old lady cannot hold a thought in her head because Beyonce is caterwauling in her ear.

Diziet · 21/11/2010 22:48

Adult proof packaging - on cd's, multipacks of fruit juice cartons, milk, er...EVERYTHING!!!

StealthPomBear · 21/11/2010 22:48

Sren we have it on 'clear voice'
about as clear as someone speaking with a mouthful of listerine

Obvious gum chewing.

Haitch rather than aitch.

Middle lane hoggers.

Sumbarine rather than submarine.

Farking school sending home lunchbox rubbish rather than binning it in dining hall. Urgh.

My carp phone with its dead spot around the "o" section.

Overtly sexualised pop videos.

Umber-pizzing-ella.

Chin hairs.

Amber gamblers.

People who think their journey is more important than mine.

PrairieHats who start threads guaranteed to put me in a frustrated moood. Arf.

People having a conversation whilst on the loo.

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 21/11/2010 22:53

Farking emoticons with wrong emotion.

Angry not cross.

Meh.
