minor things that make you fume

Just been in Tesco's and the annual Christmas spendathon has already started. Barely any spaces in the car park and people bumping into each other inside. Time to avoid supermarkets for the next week or so.

I avoid them until January 15th, and all the clamour for the tat is extinguished. I then start avoiding them from January 16th, just because the public are there.
 
Gym related again from me.
I normally go first thing of a morning for an hour or so. In doing so you share the gym with guys on the way to work, and in general see the equipment in full use and the gym atmosphere as you would hope.
A change of routine today saw me at the gym but late morning this time. Oh my word. What a bunch of posers on view. Only there to be seen. Not doing a tap in the way of exercise, topped off by this "property" owner letting all within earshot know his business as he casually strolled upon the treadmill, phone up to his ear with a Costa cup in his other.
Do these people have no shame or self respect?

I got a pair of new headphones for solstice (our heathen version of Crimbo) which I had been after for a while. They are the ones that sit on your jawbone not in your ear. Great idea if you are running or cycling outside! Prior to this i had earbuds like everyone else. Anyway, the huge pisser with these is that you can hear other people in the gym. At first it was just weights clanging or people running badly on the treadmills but now I suddenly I am forced to hear people's conversations - both in person and on cell. I have gone from liking the gym to hating it in one week!! moral of the story... be careful what you wish (ask) for.

I had my earbuds nicked after me placing them on the bench whilst getting changed and walking out of the changing room, immediately realising I'd left them on the bench and nipping right back. All of thirty seconds and not one of the bells in the immediate vicinity owned up.
Karma I suppose for a Fossil watch I found on holiday in Croatia and not handing it in to hotel reception.

There`s a bar by us that charges a fiver for a Guiness

That and the fact that it`s full of knob heads is why I don`t go in.

Wetherspoons gets a lot of criticism but personally I seek them out. Decent prices for food and drink and plenty of room to escape any knobheads that might be about. Also, my sister, a prickly feminist, says they are good because single women don't get hassled by blokes. I couldn't possibly comment.

I'm in one now with a pint of Guinness at £2.99. You don't have to be a Scot to figure it's a no-brainer.

People moaning and screaming as they lift weights is my number one pet peeve.

Unfortunately I'm too puny to tell them.

I agree. The pizzas are good as well.

Wetherspoons are great, but depending on the location some of them can be right hovels.

The fact that you can get ale with your breakfast at 8am, attracts the likes of @BigBlueNose and the turps drinking crowd.
