People who rave to you about about street food - ultimate poverty appropriation in the disguise of culinary enjoyment.

Countries that put wickets before runs is another scandalous move

I get very slightly irked when certain websites (BBC especially) puts minutes faced before balls faced on T20 and ODI scorecards.

Minutes faced in limited overs cricket is a pretty pointless stat.

Agree with this! 

I couldn't really care less about minutes in any short form or cricket.

Spoken like a man that's never sampled Camden Bang Bang Chicken.

The man sitting opposite me on the train who keeps coughing and not covering his mouth.

 

He is in his 60's so I'm going to feel awkward telling him but this is just unacceptably rude

Sounds like the old man was on the verge of turning into a fully fledged zombie, and is now probably gnawing on @Houdini Logic's innards.

Would you tell him if he was in his mid/late 50’s?

 

Manners are manners, regardless of age.

I went as far as a good hard stare and occasional tut whenever he coughed. Didn't do much

Well given the above and the fact I'm clearly a sh*tbag, I don't think it would have mattered what age he was.

 

I agree manners are manners but personally it feels weird telling off someone twice my age as opposed to some annoying teenager

If he is typically "Old" then he wont give a toss and is more likely to tell you to do one

I hate the idea that you should respect the elderly in particular. Unless somebody's a twat, everybody deserves respecting equally.

Most elderly people are twats let’s be honest. We’ve all thought it and I said it

[Carl the Llama]

Respecting the elderly is a load of guff.  Respect everybody then stop respecting them if they turn out to be dickheads regardless of age.

People that say it's a lovely day when the sun's out but it's freezing outside. Give me cloudy & mild over sunny & cold.

Sunshine lifts your mood. For me, you can't beat a clear blue sky on a frozen morning. Grey and mild is just grey and miserable, even when it's mild

I'm sorry but fvck that, love a sunny fresh cold day, just stick more layers on.

People who try to tell you an anecdote, which is pretty shit in the first place & fill it with details you have no way of giving a shit about.

 

"When I was on holiday in Corfu, in a place you've never heard of, I met this bloke called Dave, or was it Kevin, no it was Dave.  He came from Mansfield & worked for a company that made radiators.  His wife was a receptionist at a school I think.  Hang on a minute, he didn't come from Mansfield at all, he came from Newark.  Have you ever been to Newark.  There's a nice pub there on the river.  I forget what it's called..............."

 

Is this story going anywhere & how soon will it end?

 

Bore off you boring fvcker 

[Mike Oxlong]

People that say Enjoy when they bring you food or drink 

 

Worst of all is when the supermarket till operator says it

People who ask for cash back at checkouts, when there is a big queue behind them and a cashpoint outside. Show some awareness you lazy cùnts.

Getting cash back adds about 7 seconds onto a card transaction, if that?
