What does this mean ? Doesn't everyone go on holiday.. for the sake of going on holiday? or do you mean just picking somewhere random in the moment as opposed to place you've been longing to go to?

The man on the ASDA advert and his ruddy family make my blood boil.

Stupid eyebrows that make the wearer look as thick as fuck.

Apologies for the swearing.

Teetotalism
Babies
Children
Groups of friends who seem to exist for no other reason to fall out, bitch all over social media about it, and revel in the drama
99% of the absolute tripe on terrestrial TV, Strictly, Eastenders, etc
Family who seem to believe I owe them a relationship simply because we're family
Mayonnaise on pre-packed sandwiches. Just stop it.
People who live on the vile coffee served up in the likes of Starbucks, who can't seem to go anywhere or do anything without one of those disposable cups in their mitt. You don't 'like coffee', you are addicted to utter piss and wouldn't know decent coffee if you were drowned in it.
And yes, attention-whore social media platforms, so Insta, Tik-Tok etc. Just no idea what attracts people to them in the first place, unless it's pure unadulterated ego.

Social media like Facebook, twitter etc.

People who want to analyse/discuss fictional TV shows after or during watching them. Why would you try to guess what might happen to the fictional characters in future episodes. ITS NOT REAL!
