Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

The personification of inanimate objects. "Try me!", "I'm new!", "I'm not in service", et cetera. Tins of own brand coffee have no right using first person. The infantilisation of society continues.
 


Virgin Trains getting people to voice the toilets. All the major psychoanalysts would’ve had a field day with stuff like this.

I went for a pish on a Virgin train and forgot they had done that. 

I thought the f*cking bog was haunted until I remembered.

When a quiz contestant or a caller comes on the BBC and say they are a "manager for a well known chain of chicken fast food restaurants" or something to that effect. They say is in such a smarmy dull voice that gives the impression they use this phrase to always describe their employer. In any case do the BBC still care about this form of "advertising"?

How much money does one person need?

Suprised how much work someone who supposedly can't read and doesn't have email can get!

Can't think what the bloody things are called, but BBC News' new love affair with showing those fluctuating noise level / audiogram type things whenever they're playing a voice clip.  Unless they're obscuring the photo of somebody who's butt ugly, who or what the f*** is it useful for?!

Prevents ne’er-do-wells from overdubbing, cutting or editing it and subsequently misrepresenting it as something else on social media.
