minor things that make you fume

[Jimishorts]

I split up with a lass after a trip to IKEA on New Year’s Day once. We thought it would be quiet but for some mad reason it was heaving.

Not often the furniture lasts longer than the relationship JJ.

Loads of new build estates were going up round me. Each to their own, but I’d hate to live in one. Seen some beautiful areas flattened.

There’s going to be tonnes of unused office space that could be renovated into apartments but I think city centres are going to become less desirable places to live.

What’s annoying me is the need is for affordable housing. In the Wirral the council want to build about 3000 houses in green belt land in Barnston and Caldy. These won’t be affordable houses, but will be ‘luxury’ homes that all look the same. The infrastructure doesn’t have the capacity to support it either.

There’s plenty of brown field sites that could be converted and worked on to provide affordable housing in the likes of Wallasey, Birkenhead etc. where the infrastructure and access to motorways is already there. It seems that because it’s less likely to turn a profit it’s not an option. So we destroy the country side instead.

Where will it end though? There’s already a growing flooding issue because rainwater has less places to dissipate. Do we keep going until every green area is built on?

I keep saying this but in my opinion there isn’t a housing shortage problem in this country, there is an ownership problem. We are basically planning to build, build, build because too many people are land lords.

In London a huge proportion of homes are owned by investors that don’t even fill them with rental tenants. It’s such a waste of time and resources.

Thinking you have paid for your shopping only to be sat waiting for it to arrive to receive a phone call saying payment has been declined and you have spent the money thinking you'd already paid. FML!

This might just be an American thing, but the people with their loud obnoxious 450-horsepower muscle cars that cost more than their rent, and they put their Instagram names on their windows. Like I want to a) write down your IG handle while IN A MOVING CAR, and then b) go see a bunch of pictures of you posing shirtless at the lake with your car or your German Shepherd or your militia friends.

Kids who smoke

Pavement parkers and worse pavement parkers who have drives

people who think it's ok to just dump rubbish from their car or empty their ashtray on the street

Smokers who think we all enjoy looking at their discarded cig buts in front of their house.

Drivers that pretty much stop their car to turn a corner.

I have an irrational hatred of seeing people in the act of smoking a cigarette, I find it to be an absolutely disgusting habit that has no place in the modern world. When a person takes a drag of a cig what makes them go back for a second, it honestly baffles me. Then you stink of, your clothes stink of it and it is just generally dirty, not too mention the million chemicals making it up.

Anyway just started watching a sci-fi film set in the year 2242 and it showed people smoking. I honestly don't believe smoking will be a thing in 220 year time so it really peed me off lol

There is a big difference between clean and dirty smokers.

I smoke because it is both big and clever but I am also a cleanliness freak which kind of goes against the whole smoking thing, but I always carry around stuff that will freshen me up afterwards.

Speaking of smoking though the one thing that does annoy me about non smokers is when they used to moan about going out for a night and your clothes stinking of smoke (back when you could smoke indoors) what kind of meff goes out for a night and doesn't wash his/her clothes the next day regardless?

.....much preferable to drivers who whizz around a corner at speed.

And those stupidly big American pick up trucks that have started to come over here. The people driving them seem to think they’re 20% bigger than they are.

The thought of being hit by one whilst driving a small hatchback is a bit scary.

Waiting for the girlfriend to finish getting ready when we’ve agreed to leave at a specific time all day and she’s had 2 hours to do what she needs to and knows how much I hate being late.

No way this could possibly be happening right now or anything....

Makes me wonder as well. Cheap mortgages and low interest rates, low deposits encouraging over extending on borrowing and artificially high house prices to blame.

Interest rates will start to creep up now with US inflation on the up...which will put the cat amongst any...even if they don't think they are now...over extended pigeons
