minor things that make you fume


Video thumbnails particularly the footy ones with the uploaders face in despair , head in hands or pulling a gob like their latest dump is like concrete. A couple of Everton fans are doing it a lot lately and I just want to belt them in mouth for being such blatant attention seekers.

I need to get my priorities sorted...
 
Me: quick oil change on the van before I wash it.

Universe: I plan a bleeding, gushing scalp and the necessity to order a new oil filter housing for I have inspired Ford designers to make one that siezes.

I mean .... oil .... siezes?? Ffs!
 

Packs of Ham\Bacon\Food Stuff that have the peel corner cut in a way that you cannot grab the plastic to open it.

Bags of 'resealable' rice that split from North to South when you try to open them. But its OK, despite the contents of the bag being at your feet, you have a tiny piece of tape to reseal the bag with. Wouldn't want those last 3 grains escaping now would we.

2 of my bugbears right there. The person or persons who is responsible for or thinks its reasonable to print the lie "easy peel" anywhere on any modern packaging, needs disembowlment.
 
People at airports, what is it about plane travel that makes people so utterly ignorant, arrogant, stupid, pretentious, entitled, etc.

I actually saw recently where a guy just casually walked past the line, when we were boarding the plane, and down the tunnel. The ticketing guy was a bit shocked but recovered to stop him and scan his ticket. This person had a look of surprise and then a 'Oh yeah, of course' look on his face. I mean who does this, who thinks that this is normal, even if you are rushed, stressed or whatever the basic thought process is that I have to line up and get your ticket scanned before I can enter the place where I 100% need a ticket to enter.

I would say that on average the employees at boarding announce the rules of boarding around 2/3 times (sometimes in multiple languages) yet as boarding starts, you can guarantee that you will hear an exasperated voice to tell them again and again and again what the rules are, especially during the time when you had to have covid documents.

Rules are for sheep though eh?

I just don't use airports. It saves all the rules, the hassle, the expense, the judgement, the being ripped off by car park owners, taxis governments, "duty free-profit rich" merchants, the lost baggage etc. Honestly - I see nothing currently good enough anywhere on the planet to tempt me into an airport.

We share the planet. We're not on it for long. Travel should be unfettered.

I commuted from Kilkenny to Dublin by train for over 5 years. Idiots shouting on their mobile phones really tee'd me off. I would really advocate some Quiet carriages where phones and talking are banned - probably crisps too :cool:

I have got older I hate airports for lots of reasons. I used to love the excitement of air travel but it is now a very stressful experience trying to just get on the plane.

We went to Croatia again last August - lovely country and people - but I have no plans to fly anywhere this year because of the hassle enjoyed.
