Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I worked in a wee office a few years back, small enough that nobody could get away with farting without being outed for the sound/smell.

My desk shared a wall with the single-cubicle toilet, and every day was a constant procession of people emptying their flatus down the white porcelain tuba, followed by awkward nods of acknowledgement as they emerged and walked past me.

^^^^^^ Desk was IN the toilet

If there'd been a hole in the wall, I literally could've held their hand to support them through difficult bowel movements.

(rumours I made a hole in the wall have been greatly exaggerated)

About 20 years ago, the kids and myself planted some tiny little tree shoots in the garden. Our pride and joy for a bit.

Some bugger has just cut them all down😡

Just because they were about 20 metres tall and overhung a major A road was neither here nor there…

Do you think that a claim for ptsd would be successful? 🤣🤣

Comedy situations on TV shows that result from a sequence of events that would have been avoided had the character just given a not-particularly embarrassing, simple explanation of something earlier in the story.  #buzzkill

There were a line of trees half way near Edzell that my dad carved my and my brothers' initials into (aye, bad, I know) when we were born. Did a little detour to see it when in the area recently, and the trees have been taken out following recent storms. Don't have any family down that way and it was strangely the only remaining connection I had to the area. 😔

There are literally entire shows where every episode is this trope.

I'm actually struggling to think of a sitcom episode where this doesn't happen now. You've ruined comedy for me.

Go on, tell us where @supermik's trees are. You know you want to.

"Excuse me, Bishop, but I have to kick you up the arse because of a silly bet I made with Father Dick Byrne"

"Oh, that's alright, Ted, go right ahead"

I don't know exactly how that conversation would go, but I really can't see Len giving such an agreeable answer.

Scotland doing what is believed to be a World first with driverless vehicles on the road.

Putting them on a route across a bridge.

Having a driver in them, just in case. Having a 'bus captain' in them to collect fares.

It should all be robotic.

Didn't pay your fare?

Acting the wideo to your fellow passengers?

Criticising the kingdom?

Results in being thrown over the side of the bridge by a giant robotic Leishman.

😂😂😂

So a normal bus would have a driver doing everything.

Now what will undoubtedly be a much more expensive driverless bus needs a crew of two to run it.

Was this story released on April 1st? It cannot be true.

That's not a scenario I meant.

First example off the top of my head is the IT Crowd episode is the one where Roy ends up on the street topless because he was forced to give an old woman his jacket.  Had he simply said "I can't give you this for a pillow because I've got nothing else to wear", then the others would have said "fair enough" and used something else from around the office.
