minor things that make you fume

English people.
Now while I am not English myself I am not one of those people who inherently dislike the English, I do dislike a certain type of English person.
I am on holiday in Peurto Pollensa at the moment along with hundreds of very nice English people, we have met some lovely families. However today at the beach a crowd arrived, they were English and sounded Bristrol or south western. Firstly they arranged the sun beds so that they filled up the gaps between themselves and adjoining people. One of them was within 12 inches of me. Two or three of them sat about 30 yards away so that they had to shout to each other. They then opened a cool box, beers and ciders were passed around. One of the men stated that he had too much to drink the night before and wanted to keep himself right so was only going the drink cider.
At this point I said to Mrs Caolam that we needed to move but she was unusually more tolerant than myself and said to stay put.
One of them turned on the music on his phone and gave us the Eagles greatest hits, he frequently joined in. Following that we started on the Bee Gees, I thought that might tip Mrs Caolam over the edge but she said "No" it was too much trouble to go to the vendor of the sun beds to ask for a change. Then on of the women in the group asked if the beer was running through anyone else, a second woman yes and off they went for a piss in the sea were we were swimming. Mrs Caolam moved.
I know I am conversing with people who are generally English but there is a archetypical English person who is disliked throughout the world, today I met them.
Now while some may be moved to defend the indefensible by pointing out short comings in other races today was the last day of my holiday and I ran across the people from Shamless.
English people make me fume, or a certain type of Englisherson.
I'm English. Do I take offence at this?

Absolutely not. I concur entirely with your view and admire the way you seem to have tolerated it so long. We english have bred abominations; selfish, feckless, coarse, lewd, louts who see abroad and holidays as an excuse to behave without limits or consideration.

If I go abroad I never, ever go to tourist resorts where brits hang out. I have been too often embarrassed and ashamed of my drunken compatriots and their ferral children.

Our loud behaviour and aparrent lack if awareness of it is bested only by those from the US, but at least they don't seem to be vulgar and dependent on excessive alcohol as a rule - so long as they're not near their guns.

My two penneth.
 
I dont like people who stand over me when im reading the paper,even worse is people standing over me whilst im eating.
Go away.
When on the tube using my phone and the person next to me is trying to read what I’m typing. I usually start typing something along the lines of “stop reading my phone you ugly [Poor language removed]”.
 
Where the heck did I put my keys?! FFS.
Lost my house keys on tuesday.
Fuming with myself as im ultra careful usually.
I had to get the locks replaced too, obviously had the front and back door keys on the fob as well so both needed doing. Ffs.

And whilst retracing my steps, i went into the bookies and asked if they had lost property.
"What's that ?"
Was the reply from the cashier.
Me "well its property, that someone has lost !"
Unbelievable.

She probably thought you were asking the odds for a horse called Lost Property.

Thankfully I found mine...fell behind the dresser. I had a set stolen out of my car awhile back though. Had to change the locks, etc. So very frustrating!

we bury a spare key the garden for use in such situations, has come in very handy a couple of times including once getting home at 3am after a night out....would have been a night mare to have to call a lock smith out...or break my own window more likely

If my gobshite neighbours saw me digging up my back garden at 3am, the bizzies would be round within seconds mate.

Get yourself a keysafe with combination lock, and attach it to a wall in a safe place out of sight.

I don`t really think there`s such a thing as a safe place to attach a wall safe to on the outside mate.

We have a set buried in a plastic bag, that`s come in very handy many times over the years.
If someone was going to go to the trouble of breaking into a keysafe, they would probably find it easier to break through your door. Or digging up your garden looking for keys buried in a plastic bag.
 
I have to get up and walk across the room and turn the sound down

Computers.... I’m finishing work today for two weeks ... we use a secure internet connection at work for writing up patients notes... the system has been inaccessible since Monday morning 10am. I have seen 14 of my patients since Monday and rightfully by law each set of notes has to be written up within 24 hours of seeing said patient. Anyway, I started early this morning and rearranged my day so that I could complete all paperwork before going on leave.... managed to get most of it done sand then ...boom...the system crashes again causing me to have to rewrite shoite loads of work .... brought it home to do this evening now ffs.
