minor things that make you fume

People who park their hideous great motor cars on the pavement.
When did cars get so ugly anyway?
Mercs, Jags, BMWs. All the same ugly fat boats.

Ugly, aggressive looking and enormous. Totally loathe modern cars and the escalation to be higher than and peer over the next car. When I'm in my MG midget I sit lower than the wheel arches of some of these hideous wagons clogging up the roads.

These macho vehicles! After we've all gone electric, won't that obviate the need for having a roaring great hog in the driveway? I suppose guys will install recordings of old Jags revving up and play them on start-up!
 
On the one hand there are cars being made that switch off the engine when you halt at lights or another such junction.

Then there's the airhead in a Chelsea tractor who's been sat behind me in a click and collect queue at Asia for 20 minutes with the engine grumbling away.

Its idiots that cause climate change.

Oh plus 6" from my bumper

Travelling to Asia for click and collect ain’t helping climate change much either mate lol

You couldn't find a 'click and collect' nearer to home Chris?

Truly a minor thing, but I hate it when directors/writers in horror films think that killing the family pet is the first scene to have in order to "set the scene" for the impending evil that awaits. I don't need to see an eviscerated cat or dog, animal cruelty happens enough in the real world.

tbh I hate when you see kids in it because you know they're just going to miraculously survive and it completely breaks the immersion. Either take off the plot armour or don't cast 'em
 
When I was a young lad in the 1940's my beta noire was war films where too much time was spent in offices with venetian blinds on the window and men in suits. 'Where's the fighting?' I used to shout. I hated those venetian blinds. Then there was the Western and my heart would drop when I saw the 'woman' character. In a log cabin in the back of the beyond but looking like she had just stepped off the catwalk. 'Where's the fighting?' I used to shout.

Ahhh I get that.
The modern version to me is:

Good film
Then....
Sequel with random mandatory love interest character that ruins the lead character.
 
Opening the fridge and my 16 year old has literally scranned all my boss stuff today whilst I’ve been at work.
Chicken wings, mini eggs, haribo star mix, bloody all sorts.
And then comes down asking what’s for tea..
Only chocolate I’ve got left is the fruit and nut as I know he can’t stand it.

The solution here is to stop buying and hoping to eat childrens' foodstuffs while leaving them within reach of a children. :cool:
