minor things that make you fume

My pet hate (suffered regularly) used to be squaddies with cans of beer getting on at Catterick and drinking all the way to King's Cross.

Used to regularly travel Glasgow to London by train back in 2011 and came to the conclusion that the guys necking Vitamin T for 6 hours starting a 0630 were actors employed by Virgin for the role.
 
My friend works as a safety inspector in construction and I told him they were 15 floors up with no hats, gloves, harnesses or anything. "Scaffolders mate, standard." He replied.
Knew a young guy who did part time for a friends scaffolding business...needed the dosh, new baby, house deposit etc.
I pulled him on the height thing.
His macho reply was...

Scaffs don't scare.
 

Just watched a tv clip of celebrity types thanking the NHS for being special, that annoyed me, where were these people when nurses were on strike for a wage increase. About 6 months ago nurses in Northern Ireland were working to rule and manning picket lines in the cold and wet to receive a pay increase that they had already been granted. It wasn’t “cool” to gain some kudos by appearing on tv supporting nurses.
This pandemic has shown me two things, there is no cause, no matter how desperate, that a celebrity won’t exploit to self promote and there is no crisis so bad that private practice can’t make a few quid off it.
