AoWW Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 Ok, I'm sure similar threads have been done before but I was just feeling the need to, well... vent! I'm not talking the major things here... just the day to day stuff. And, yes, I freely admit I'm feeling particularly stroppy today... but some things really do wind me up. Just a small selection - off the top of my head: Accidentally washing your jeans with a tissue in the pocket... so everything else comes out covered in tiny bits of tissue and you have to spend hours picking the bits off. The cellophane wrappers on CD boxes - must have stood for 10 mins in the pouring rain today trying to get into 2 new CDs. People who are incapable of driving round roundabouts... 9 times out of 10 you can filter in quite happily so why do people drive up and STOP before even bothering to look to see if anyone's coming. And what's with peoples' inability to indicate at roundabouts? Folks who drive at 50mph regardless of the conditions, location, etc. People who let a door 'drop' on you when they can see you're trying to carry a tonne of stuff. People who chew gum really loudly with their mouth open. People who say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'. The Pacific's an ocean for fooks sake. Young girls who wear hipster trousers with thongs that stick out over the top and cropped tops... it's NOT a good look! Supermarket checkout staff who wait for you to unload all your stuff from your trolley before telling you that they're now shutting that till. People with 'invented' food allergies. If it's genuine then I have every sympathy, but so many people seems to claim an allergy/intolerance when they simply don't like something. Just say if you don't like it! TV programmes that run late (always when you're out and videoing them... so you miss the crucial ending). People who go abroad then do nothing but moan about the locals, the language, the lack of pie and chips, etc. Go to bloody Southend you miserable gits! Having no reception on your mobile when you really need it. I'm sure there are more...!
Tommeh Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 People who play shite music really loud off their phones on trains assistants in clothes shops who ask "are you alright" when your just browsing Caravans on B roads going 20mph and blocking your view for overtaking Big Brother power cuts when you've done like 2 seasons on FM (or other games) for the past 5 hours and forgetting to save / not enabling auto save! When the fire alarms sounds at half 3 in hotels in Manchester on a freezing cold night in December
lildave3 Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 [*]People who chew gum really loudly with their mouth open. Sorry [*]Young girls who wear hipster trousers with thongs that stick out over the top and cropped tops... it's NOT a good look! Did you watch Get a grip last night by any chance?
AoWW Posted 11 May 2007 Author Posted 11 May 2007 Did you watch Get a grip last night by any chance? Nope. And I'm guessing that's probably just as well.
lildave3 Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 Nope. And I'm guessing that's probably just as well. They said pretty much word for word what you said about the hipsters

Geo V Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 - Having to listen to the local lads and lasses talking "street" and swap letters around to come up with stuff like aks instead of ask. - Being dumped out of a poker comp when I play patient and perfect poker only to lose by a bad beat (aka a lucky bugger finding a lucky card) - The hag and her 2 daughters a few flats away waltzing over and knocking on the door moaning about the noise when friends are around despite it not bothering the immediate neighbours one bit. - Being moaned at by the missus because I dont want to spend every spare minute I have with her (that one is soon to end ) Those are just the things that got on my nerves today
stez Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 cramp, that you can't do anything about, due to being paralysed (on the hipster theme) hideous muffin tops and inexplicably miserable people at work
Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 This thread every couple of months. Never mind, at least it'll keep Daggers off the streets over the weekend.

lookwhaticando Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 Sorry! You weren't to know. It has got me thinking though... where the hell's LemonD's reply? Brace yourselves guys and girls, it's gonna be a whopper!

Guest Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 The list of things that piss me off is never ending. Fortunately, AOWW has listed some for me. Cheers me dears!

Geo V Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 That's a lot of things to get on your nerves when (at the time of the post) the day is only 42 minutes old Thats one day in my life strolling through Southgate, North London! Ive never been one for "street talk" as English is difficult enought without getting into the habit of swapping letters around or spelling words like school as "skool" . But I must admit, listening to these kids talking like as they do winds me up something chronic. Its a side of getting old I suppose but then again I have never and will never talk like these bunch of idiots. If they are anything to go by London will be fooked in 15 years
Finnegan Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 The cellophane wrappers on CD boxes - must have stood for 10 mins in the pouring rain today trying to get into 2 new CDs. God invented keys for a reason. Fookin' women.

I swear. Whatever happened to good old English language. I dont mind slang, hell, I use it alot too but this generation of teenagers are just taking the mick I tell ya. Oh and people who play loud music with their mobile phones on public transports. Use your headphones FFS. If you aint got none, I'll gladly purchase some for you.

The People's Hero Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 People who take drinks all night long in a round system then go round when it's their round. It's obvious, it's annoying and it's not cool. I also hate people being late for things, but I'm always late. Do as I say, not as I do. I hate it also when people remember empty (drunken?) promises I've made.
Simi Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 I also hate people being late for things, but I'm always late. Do as I say, not as I do. I like that a lot.

My brother and his mate are the worst culprits when it comes to lateness. They decide to meet at 10am, one turns up at 11 and the other at 12.30. Always happens.
lildave3 Posted 12 May 2007 Posted 12 May 2007 CONVICT! Oh so you wanna play the random word game do ya? Well two can play at that game... You ready for this? ... Sheeshkabob!
