Just for fun to take our minds off the huge, horrible stuff in our lives. Me : Tiny, tiny cloves of garlic "Pull tab here"

He's not 52 is he? Mines just started doing this

Show quote history

No, he's 65. He also leaves the lid off the butter dish, and puts the used knife on the worktop. He's a lazy git.

Posts about something in FB groups that are accompanied with "delete if not aloud".

Firstly, it's "allowed" - it's always this sentence that people seem to get it wrong in

Secondly, as if the admins need your permission to delete something if it's now allowed.

Gah!

People eating crisps on trains. I want to get the bag and pour them over their heads.

I’ll add iPhone autocorrect to my list of petty hates; I know how to spell, thanks. I meant ‘piss it off’.

Show quote history

If we’re talking autocorrect, can I nominate the “correction” of words that can be names or proper nouns with automatic capitalisation? I meant I may have to go out later, not the month of May. I said my friend has had her hair cut in a bob - I’m not on about some sad git off Emmerdale! And a penny is a small round coin, not the woman who used to be on GMTV!

People that leave bins and recycling boxes out on the pavement for days on end instead of bringing it back into their garden or drive the same day as bin day !
They blow over and end up obstructing pavements etc and just make the street look awful.
Take ownership of your bins - aaah!
( Currently have a bin sitting on pavement for 9 days now and yes the lazy gits are in , as I’ve seen them walking by it daily as they stroll up and down to their house )

Can I add to this: the binmen putting my bin back just inside my gate, so I have to move it to get out of the house. Either bring it in properly, or leave it out so I can do it myself. Don’t block me in with it!

CassandraClassic · 17/08/2023 09:03

People who put their bare feet in reviews, YouTube videos, photos, etc to demonstrate household appliances. I don't know why it irritates me so much.

stayathomer · 17/08/2023 09:09

Oh the autocorrect thing here too- he’ll instead of hell, we’ll instead of well

My lying bastard of a washing machine. Says there's 4 minutes left, that could be anything from 30 seconds up to half an hour. I've sometimes had a coffee and peed twice in the "4 minutes". Turd faced little fibber.

Feeling pants with a cracker of a headache this morning, but just love your phrase "turd faced little fibber".... made me chuckle 🤭 😂

That fucking Malteasers advert on the radio where you can hear people eating them. Eating noises are absolutely disgusting and having them on the radio is just wrong.

I guess the marketing dept just wants the advert to be noticed but they can fuck off

People who say ‘staycation’ to describe a holiday in the UK. Unless you stayed at your own home, it’s not a fucking staycation, it’s just a normal holiday

Performatively large water bottles on desks

Special offer labels on books that leave a sticky residue when peeled off

Menus that consist of ‘small plates’ and also claim to be ‘ideal for sharing’. If they’re small they’re not ideal for fucking sharing, are they, if you share a small plate you get literally one bite of the thing you actually ordered

People who shout requests at gigs

The “You’ll never stop this flame” music that they play in every ad break during Premier League football on Sky

The use of gavels to illustrate news stories about British court cases, because BRITISH JUDGES DO NOT USE FUCKING GAVELS

Tweets that begin “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…”

Outfield players who wear gloves to play football

Push taps

Posters for stand-up shows that depict the comic shrugging ruefully or scratching their head

Children who run at flocks of pigeons

Bucket hats

Red velvet cake. It’s a shit cake dyed red for no reason and you can literally taste the food colouring

The words ‘no nasties’ on organic food products or skincare

’Love locks’ attached to bridges

Totally agree re the staycation. It means you're doing days out from your home. If you go to a seaside town or somewhere fir a week (or whatever) it's a holiday!

OCaptain · 17/08/2023 09:39

People that make fairly ordinary things - at the moment it's wildfires - into conspiracies. And they think it's because they are more intelligent that they can 'see' things where the rest of us just see ... normality.

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 17/08/2023 09:44

My washing machine that plays a jaunty little reminder that the cycle's finished and then, if I don't open it within a minute, tells me again - just shut up, I'll get there when I'm ready!
Also, people who say somethink instead of something - drives me bonkers.
Also, my mum deciding she needs to have a full on conversation about something that's pissed her off at 5am in the morning - on Messenger, I know I could ignore it, but she just keeps on - drives me mad!
I realise I'm probably crosser about these things than I should be!

The twat down the gym who insists on giving people unsolicited advice on how to do their workouts.

"Hey there, just been watching you on the rowing machine, let me give you a few tips'

Fuck off you patronising arse, my coach down the rowing club is an Olympic medalist and I have competed at Henley Royal Regatta. The back of my tech top says 'xxxxxx rowing club senior crew' which you definitely saw before you strolled over so why the fuck am I going to listen to some random gimp in a 'Golds Gym' vest.

Random gimp in a Gold's Gym vest 🤣🤣🤣🤣

DilemmaDelilah · 17/08/2023 09:47

My DH not folding carrier bags properly but just scrumpling them up. I know I'm fussy but folding them properly extends their life and means they look newer for longer. (Correct way to fold will be given it anyone wants it! 😁)

Also my DH. Tidying me up! Folding in my clothes labels, picking hairs off my clothes etc. It's not the tidying so much as the treating me like a child - all he has to do is to tell me and I will either do it myself or I will ask him to do it.

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 17/08/2023 09:47

Oh and also people who, when I sell them an item on eBay, proceed to explain to me how to package the damn item, I've got nearly 4000 positive feedback for selling very similar items, I think I know how to package the item up to ensure it gets to you in perfect condition.

ManateeFair · 17/08/2023 09:57

People at work who tend me a Teams message that just says 'Hi Manatee' and then wait for me to respond. Just tell me in your opening message what you're contacting me about, you needy fuckers.

The escalation of this is, of course, 'Hi Manatee, are you free for a quick call?' ABOUT WHAT, Captain Cryptic? How the fuck am I supposed to know if it's a priority I should interrupt what I'm doing to discuss, or whether you just want some basic tips and advice on what should be on your intranet page when you set it up in six months' time?

Ooh agree. I tend to ignore until they say more, unless I know the person well

People who pronounce the letter H as 'haych'

Someone fairly senior at work did this recently and instantly lost all credibility. If they were Irish then they might have been forgiven, but they weren't.

Even more annoying are people who say 'says' as if it rhymes with lays

How do you say says so that it doesn't rhyme with lays?

Sez? I'm intrigued.

You would hate my washing machine; it also beeps (incessantly) until I unload the washing. It’s a German brand and clearly cannot cope with slatternly English ways of leaving the washing in the machine beyond the nano-second a cycle is finished. I sometimes leave the wet washing in the machine overnight just to push it off.

People standing too close to you in a queue.

Also people who stand so far back from the end of a queue that you have to ask them if they are in the queue so you don’t push in in front of them.

This from a PP also comes to mind in Edinburgh in August.

Posters for stand-up shows that depict the comic shrugging ruefully or scratching their head

So fucking irritating. Sure fire way of ensuring I'll not buy a ticket.
