What grinds my gears...

Puregym being practically unusable from 2-9 due to the fact so many people hog the racks and benches, which is annoying but understandable, but also stacking every weight imaginable next to them as “in use” when they’re only doing fkn 6kg lateral raises

Yeah exactly, leaving all 4 of the 20s in different corners of the gym

And not wiping their arse sweat patch off the bench afterwards

Stacked all the weights up, but everytime you look over they're on their phone

I wipe my arse sweat when I'm done on the bench. I just can't bring myself to clear up my semen.

Gyms in general are disgusting for cleanliness. Go there, do your thang then go home and shower in a cleaner environment. Not a germaphobe at all....

I'm starting to think that's the way forward tbh.

 

Our Gym was previously a DW and then closed for a few months to be re-fitted as PureGym. It only opened again 3 weeks ago all brand new but the showers are already gross with piss stains and pubes blocking the plug holes

That’s vile, my gym seems moderately clean but even then I’d never use the showers. The dried on sh!t stains that appear from time to time in the loos make me wonder how many people are p!ssing in the showers too 😷

If you do a bit of man grooming Izzy you’ll soon stop blocking those plug holes 👍

The annual debate about the magic of the FA Cup. Has the FA Cup lost it's magic? Er, yes, we've been discussing whether it has for 15-20 years now. Ronnie Radford, Sutton, Wrexham were all great but bear no relevance to today's game- it has changed.

 

The FA Cup is still important and very much still worth winning but it isn't what it used to be for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, you have to accept it and live with the times.

People who say discourse (unless they’re Irish)

carragher made a good point on his twitter today, every weekend these days is like what the FA cup was 30 odd years ago. 

 

people hark back to the days when everyone got excited, but everyone got excited because it was big teams against small teams, massive upsets, every game was on tele and people spent the week talking about whatever the "big" fixtures were. we have all of that every week now. sometimes twice a week.

Something that slightly grinds my gears but people of all political persuasions treating journalists' tweets as though they are their personal opinions even if they've made it clear that they are not.  

[String fellow]

What grinds my gears is Victoria Coren trying to be comedienne at the end of every Only Connect. More time for the missing vowels round and less time for her feeble jokes would be appreciated. Btw, the contestants on that show make most of the contestants on University Challenge look like complete idiots. One of the exceptions was Ted Loveday, with his wonderful 'hapax legomenon' moment on UC a few years ago. Perhaps he was an example of a student more interested in lucubration than lubrication!

This, and to add to this, people in cafes, take aways etc. who wait until they are at the front of the line to start thinking about what they’ll order. You’ve been lining up for 15 minutes then, hmmmm.

[UniFox21]

People that park in the holiday inn car park and try to barge through the crowds of people exiting the stadium. Can't they use their brains and wait 10 minutes? If they want a quick escape either leave early or park elsewhere.

When a property only has one pic on RightMove, I know what you're up to you cheeky bastards, one ticket to cursed interior parkway is it

Dont rule those out completely if house hunting, they are sometimes below market value and might be worth going for.

 

If its in an area you want to buy, go and view it anyway but expect the worst in terms of interior design as you say. You can then try to figure out if the cost of getting it to your spec plus the cost of the house is within your budget.

 

The flat I'm in now was a one picture job on rightmove and indeed, the comestics were a mess however structurally it was fine, its in a nice area and its got a lot of sq footage for a flat so we got it to the standards we wanted. 

 

But yeah still a pain in the arse not seeing pics inside the house from the off.

Wind chimes.  You know those things that make a tinkling noise when the breeze gently sends them into contact with each other.  Except that one of our neighbours has the worlds largest wind chimes and when it's winter and half a gale is blowing those things sound like a demented version of Tubular Bells which can be annoying around midnight.   I'm assured that they're meant to be relaxing but I'm tempted to show just how relaxing I find Easy Living by Uriah Heep at 120dB at midnight.  But we also have some considerate neighbours so I don't.  But the wind chimes are just noise pollution.

I'll wager Mick Box has got a set of wind chimes in his garden.

People who have their breakfast at work.

 

It's usually microwave porridge which seems to consist of 50% oat powder and 50% dried syrup. Add milk or water, stick in the oven and the whole place then smells sickly sweet.  

 

Get up 10 minutes earlier you morons and eat the slop at home.
