minor things that make you fume

[TaffyToffee85]

There's a lad in work that gets himself all wound up because one of the other lads we work with has this irritating habit of saying 'like' every other 3 or 4th word ("so I said like, what do you mean like"). Before he brought it to my attention I'd never really noticed it, so now I get wound up too every time he speaks.

That’s just like my ex girlfriend; if she thought what you said to her was a load of rubbish, she would repeat your sentence, but put on the start of it “What do you mean?”.

We once lost the remote control to put the TV on, as we boxed up our stuff to move out and had one last night left in the flat. The same day Wales were playing France in the Grand Slam decider (would have been 2008), with no remote to turn the TV on I said why we couldn’t watch it and she said “What do you mean you can’t find the remote?”, and I replied “What I just said!, what else can it mean when I say “I can’t find the remote?!”. With that we decided to go down the pub and watch it there, a much better choice!.

Still though, it’s damn annoying when someone has this stigma to keep using the same phrases like that, it’s like some sort of bad habit.

Ordered some flash new expensive studio monitors (speakers) from Amazon on Sunday.
For the past few days the tracking has said 'Due for delivery on Thursday'

That is until 3:30 this afternoon when it said they tried to deliver it today while I was out and I have to re-arrange the delivery date now....

Why do they do that ffs!

You know when you walk in and lift the kettle to make sure it’s got water in, then you flick the switch on and some t**t says, ‘it’s just boiled’
Honestly I could do life for these people, I like my cup of tea water boiling hot and I pour it into my cup within seconds of it boiling, so if it boiled 30 seconds ago it’s now cold as far as I’m concerned so f**ck off with your just boiled bullchit and mind your own business or I’ll scald you with my boiled water

Maybe they tell you so you don't think it's cold water that will take 5 minutes to boil, so you wander off to do something and then come back and have to turn it on again because it's even colder than when you first put it on.

Just playing devil's advocate there mate.

Family and 'friends' who are moving house, and try to dump their old crap on you?

'No, take it down the tip yourself you lazy b******d'.

I've got a neighbour who does this, turns up in the evening trying to palm old bits of furniture off on us. Times it just right so we're having dinner or something and stands in the doorway extolling the virtue of said piece of crap until you're worn down and just give in.

Often they are there to stop scrappies and people who may have suspicious reasons to travel at times

Speeding tickets have gone through the roof it seems since lockdown. They are finding all sorts of ways to claw money back. You watch them issues loads of fines over the census.

When watching 50-over or 20/20 cricket they show all the 4s and 6s that a player(s) hit to get to 50 or those in the power play in about 5 seconds. Absolutely pointless and very annoying.

I don't have a problem with that .
But unless you knew the road ,you'd understand.
I'm lucky if I pass a car at that ridiculous time,midweek thrown into the equation, means even less chance.
And no neither had a mask on.

That game's for those without an attention span, of for amateurs to play because they don't have all day. Its not cricket.
