Detectives/private investigators in films or television who, when searching in dark places with a torch, use it like they're about to throw a javelin. I know nobody who uses a torch that way and I'm not going to stand for it.

Why do they never, ever give the lights a go? They're in some creepy deserted warehouse, sod that if you think I'm traipsing round with a poxy maglite.

This bothered me too, for a while. When did it start?
Then I had a think about it, and what I thunk was, if you're a bit scared then holding javelin grip is more versatile as you're ready to lamp someone with your torch (pun intended) whereas if you have the conventional grip, you're less ready.

Darn straight, I've got a wisdom tooth that's only partially out, and there's a big chunk of gum covering half of the tooth, and so much food gets lodged in there, causing my gum to get instantly inflamed. Drives me crazy.
 
Driving down a dual carriageway and a car pulls out in front and THEN sprays their screen wash over the top of the car, which immediately piddles all over your own, meaning you gave to wash your own screen.

BMWs seem the worst at this - either they're badly adjusted, or they have some kind of unnecessary pressure washer system.
 
Thursday is my day off, today is a bank holiday.. I'm working tomorrow. Sunday don't work and bank holiday Monday.

I appear to be the only one who hasn't used one days holiday for Saturday and had a boss dead long weekend for just one days annual.

FFS.
 

As I've just moved into my own place, there is now seemingly a need to get a TV License. However, I really cannot justify getting one to myself as I could easily do without BBC Services if I had to. Lets look at the facts:

  • Their programming is [Poor language removed] - Planet Earth is great, but a great series every decade is not worth £145. Then you realise you're also paying for [Poor language removed] like Eastenders, The One Show, and that annoying twerp, Dominic Littlewood.
  • Their News coverage is shocking, 'Brexit is going swimmingly', 'The Tories are wonderful' lets do Ed Milliband up like a kipper on our election specials by asking an avowed influential figure within the Tory Party to shout utter nonsense at him, in front of what is supposed to be a unbiased audience. Then of course their Current Affairs programmes - I cannot remember a truly enlightening episode of Panorama, reporting something that I did not know about beforehand. Question Time is awful, it is UKIP's one permanent seat, being filmed before a largely clueless audience filmed from shitholes such as Skegness or Skelmersdale or whatever backwater of Brexit Britain they wish to film in.
  • It's only redeeming quality is sport, but let us look at the facts here - Match of the Day is stale to the point that I hardly ever sit through a full episode, if indeed I watch any of it at all. Six Nations - once a year isn't it? Not worthy of £145. Wimbledon? bugger me, an event for bored Daily Mail reading housewives. No thanks.
  • Dion Dublin on Homes under the Hammer is good though.

Mods - I apologise for the bad language.

We pay monthly.
If you a day late, they are ringing you immediately chasing it.
Winds me right up, begrudge every penny.
If you could actually purchase a telly that is incapable of picking up BBC programmes and therefore could make a case in court for not paying it, you'd make millions.

Online it is time for it to become a subscription service - especially as I do most of my tele watching through the internet anyway. Perhaps keep the TV license for the old dears who have no idea about modern technology, but I will not be connecting my tv to an aerial.

The sport is now non existent.
TBF they do have the best programme on telly right now IMO ( line of duty ), but now they have switched that to bbc1 they are getting complaints to tone the violence down. That's the point of the show, it's violent crime ffs.
So that will become tame next series.
