Recycling can be a bit annoying if you live in the city centre, all you get given is bags, so you've basically got no choice but to have a orange bin bag just sitting somewhere in your house full of rubbish

East Devon only started recycling cardboard and paper in the last year or two. Used to grind my gears no end, that’s the most basic recyclable isn’t it?! 

 

Thankfully they do give us bins for it.

Let's be honest, East Devon only stopped burning witches in the last year or two...

Oh cheers for the heads up, now I’ll never get rid of the wife.

Stories about animals that can predict the World Cup results. Stop it. Just stop it.

Talking about football (particularly England atm) with people that you couldn’t care any less for their opinions

People who claim they were too busy to do the most ridiculously easy things. "Sorry i didn't reply to that text, I didn't get time" - You didn't have 30 seconds in a 24 day to reply to a text?

 

Yes you did and you know you did, you just couldn't be arsed.

How people can spend months working in an office for a company and still not have any idea how things work or what’s going on around them ?

How do those fookin betting companies do it ? ...   how many palms do they grease ? ...   if that fookin Ray Winstone says  “We gamble wesponsibly “  one more time, my fookin head will explode  ...

I feel like that when you don't respond to my posts

Sorry, haven't had time to respond to this.

Nobheads that have the drivers seat in their car, set so far back, that they can barely see above the steering wheel!? Usually a 15 year old BMW or a shite Fiesta.

That's me sadly. I don't know what it is about a text but sometimes I just can't be bothered to answer them. I'll answer an email immediately but I'll often let a text sit for hours before I answer it.

Related to this is calling someone, you miss it by a few seconds so call back but then there's no answer. Surely you just had your phone in your hands how are you missing this

My mum is terrible at this. Either miss her call and she does that, or she texts me and I call straight away as it happens to be easier than replying to that text and she doesn't answer

Coaches and managers these day never refer to the 'squad' or 'team', but always 'this group'.

 

Annoying.

[Finnegan]

The latest twitter Neo "Liberal" fad seems to be calling everything cultural appropriation and it can get in the ****ing bin. 

 

Tearing some kid apart on social media because she wore an East Asian dress to her prom despite being white or giving Kim Kardashian (who is a nob, I do concede) shit because she's wearing her hair in braids? 

 

Do **** off. 

 

Let people dress how they want to dress and if it's copying "your" culture then be flattered.

Which bit? 

 

It happens a lot at the moment, I've just seen the Kardashian headline on the BBC this morning. 

 

That's another thing that grinds my gears as well mind, twitter reacting to Kim Kardashian's hair do isn't ****ing news anyway, get it off my front page.

To be honest i think you might be able to rock a silk sherwani just fine for a white dude.

I would ****ing love to. 

 

More to the point, so would most of my Asian colleagues who would probably not only find it amusing but help me find one. 

 

My Japanese friends are always trying to get us to embrace and partake in Japanese culture and dress, they think its partly hilarious and partly cool, they want us to like and experience it. 

 

It's only little bellends who live their life on twitter and a few snobbish "academics" that seem to have anointed themselves the guardian of their chosen culture that actually really give a flying ****. 

 

Telling the Kardashian bird she can't braid her hair is like me telling you lot you can't eat Welsh cakes because you're the oppressors.

Honestly i think its great when people where other ethnic/cultural dress wear. Sherwanis are pretty slick looking.

In all seriousness, I probably wouldn't particularly myself. Just not my tastes tbf and I'd probably feel too self conscious. 

 

I just don't see why it should be anyone else's business what you wear. 

 

If you think the poncho sombrero look is cool then you rock it. If you've always loved the lederhosen, go crazy. If you want to stand around in town centres playing pan pipes wearing a rug and beads selling covers of 80s pop music, does it matter if you're not Peruvian? I mean it hasn't stopped @ScouseFox

 

If you're not harming anyone, do what makes you happy.

Stuff like that always reminds me of this bit from Brass Eye...
