What grinds my gears...

Can someone explain the allure of Xmas markets to me?

 

Overpriced beer, giant sausages in bread, cheese, nuts, naff novelty gifts sold in wooden cabins and you're invited to consume the beer and food you buy in miserable cold, wet conditions, not a warm heated pub/bar/restaurant.

 

They're obviously just not for me but the times I've been dragged along to "look round" they're all carbon copies whatever city you end up in? Same food, same items for sale.

Damn right. People being ridiculously loud on nights out seems to be coming a thing - I hate it. 
 

Was at Nuneaton train station a few weeks ago and a bunch of lads walked past me being so loud it actually became a white noise and hurt my ears. Wtf?

In the UK I think you are right as they all try to be Bavarian but across Germany / Eastern Europe they are quite different I find from city to city.

People spending their money on things from folk who'll bugger off in a few weeks rather than spending their cash in the businesses that make up their cities.

In my local there's a certain bloke who laughs and shouts everything really loudly at the bar. To the point where I'm wincing over the other side of the room as I can't hear what my mate sat next to me is saying. Winds me right up. He is a window cleaner though so that explains a lot as he's probably shouting through windows at people.

Sleeping on a ****ing air bed in my living room as my wife has coughed up our room to her sister and husband.

 

I mean ffs if you wanna stay 1 night. Sleep on the sofa, the floor, the car, the garden, the bath I mean sleep in the ****ing bin for all I care. 

 

But if you wanna stay over just deal with it. 

 

Don't steal my bastard bed.

These f*****g divs that sit in their cars for ages with the engine running.

 

The other night at my lad's football training, there were 8 cars parked up with their engines running for the whole hour.

 

I can't get my head round it. This is metres from where their own children are running up and down getting out of breath, and they're sitting there giving them diesel fumes to breathe.

A telling metaphor if ever there was one.

The obsession with people using "W" to mean win. It wasn't bad at first, but now it's overused and bloody annoying. 

 

Football fan twitter have adopted it and made it more infuriating

Tiger Woods has been saying “W” instead of Win for about 20 years and it still does my head in. Must be an Americanism I’d have thought

It meant to be shorthand but actually takes longer to say than win

The fact there seems to be an obsession with in ear earbuds these days. You know the ones with the bit of rubber that you shove right into your ear canal. I hate shoving things in my ear like that, but these days its almost impossible to find decent ones that just sit in your ear like the Apple earpods.
