What grinds my gears...

[Wymsey]

People who ignore you or look at you in a confused why, as you say good morning etc when walking past them in the neighbourhood.

"The Vauxhall Griffin comes with a whole load of extras as standard."

 

THEN THEY'RE NOT ****ING EXTRAS

That happen often Wymesy?

Adverts ruining good songs by getting a bunch of warbling, droning kids to sully them. Current favourite is You Get What You Give by New Radicals being given this treatment by Sainsbury's (some school play or something).

Not really, but feel for them in being unable to respond back to a quick and basic conversation.

I hate adverts ruining good songs but kids can sing the shit out of that song for me

Where do you live mate, London? I think they may be choosing not to respond to hello rather than being unable to. Start ignoring them, it's the only way

No, but I get what you mean.

Someone once said to me that despite them going to London regularly, the inhabitants there can often be ignorant and rude to those they don't know.

It's often said about New Yorkers too. Some of it justified in both cases. A metropolis just has a faster pace of life I guess and people have less time for strangers.

Surprised it happens much in Leicester though.

My Samsung TV which was quite expensive has bloody adverts on the menu screens which you have to go through to do anything!

 

This is such a piss take it's not like the TV was discounted or we get anything in return for this intrusion. And when you delete those apps they magically reappear. Grrrrrr.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Another thing is, say, when you're driving and approach a junction and the road markings all have forward arrows only, so you think, 'I'm alright to stay in this lane.' Then at the last minute the road marking changes either left or right turn only and you have to look like a dick trying to cut back into the correct lane.

[Max Wall]

People who pull up to a T junction to turn right against the traffic, who stay in the middle of their carriageway therefore blocking anyone behind them turning left from getting through. There's a line in the middle of the road for a reason.

When you’re enjoying a nice quiet afternoon pint alone at the pub and a group of 7 walk in, talking over each other and destroying your silent solitude.

If Snow White isn't around to keep them in check they do tend to get a bit rowdy.

Me: "Whaddyawant to drink? Beer? Wine? G&T?" 

 

Person: "Oh NOT GIN! I can't PoSsIBLy have gin! Gin makes me angry / horny / sad / giggly... blah blah."

 

Different types of alcohol do not have inherent traits that make you feel a certain way, you turnip. It's all the same ingredient. It can potentially enhance your current mood and obviously different quantities (i.e. alcohol content) have different effects.

 

BIN.

Expecting them to be quiet is a bit of a tall order.

Dog owners in the vets who think you want their dog jumping all over you. I love my dog, you love yours. But I don't want yours trying to get on my lap, nor do I want it licking my face. Teach it some manners ffs.

Perhaps Urban Spaceman is Snow White?

 

If so, it could have been worse than a bit of rowdiness at the bar. They could have asked for a 7 Up.

Have to disagree with this, from personal experience....

 

- Too much beer -> Too loud, extrovert & embarrassing

- Too much whiskey -> Potentially argumentative and insulting

- Too much red wine -> Too emotional/affectionate or fall asleep

Similar to Alf, I disagree. 

 

Me on cider, vodka, wine - happy, talkative, see the good in everything.

Strong lager - turn weird apparantly. 

Whisky - argumentative, to the point of sometimes telling mates to fcuk off etc

 

Tolerance levels as well - I can drink 15 double vodkas and still pass off being sober, 6 pints of Stella and I'm out of it.
