minor things that make you fume

Going full Zlatan were they?

Yeah just like that. More often than not it was a builder. There’s so many wannabe hard men in construction.
 
The postman ignoring the brand new video door bell we paid £120 for which lights up as you approach it, and instead opting for the archaic method of thumping on the door to gain a homeowner’s attention.
Hermes knocked on our door the other day. Genuinely sounded like the bizzies doing a drug bust trying to gain entry.
 

Put the milk in first then !

*legs it
Us old arses may remember an episode in Steptoe and Son when Harold, once again trying to act above his station, berated his dad Albert for putting the milk in first.
Calling him a MIF (milk in first).
These days that abbreviation very similar to something a bit more vulgar.
 
The smug gits on the likes of Grand Designs and the other show Ugly House or similar. Two things, firstly don't claim that you've built the house, they're the blokes all through the shows in the hard hats and operating machinery that have done that. And secondly, "and what was your budget and what was the final cost?"
"Well Kevin it was £750k, but in the end spent £3m but I'm sure you'll agree it was money well spent".
Load of bull.

those shows are just a way of letting the nation know you're rich but boring.

"after not seeing a property that suited them,jemima and tarquin have played around with numbers and realised they're able to stretch their budget by an extra £400k. jemimas mum has also chipped in a loan of £250k, so we're quietly confident they'll find that dream home"

Tarquin now spends next three years discussing curtain patterns, permanently indebted to his in-laws, wishing he'd spent some of that cash on brasses and lemo

My eyes water when a 60k pot is deemed minimal.

I'm reassured to know I'm not alone in my rant.
I did however forget to mention the obligatory pics of the family crammed into the static caravan they lived in while the build ongoing. And there's always the woman falling pregnant as well to add to the chaos.
