Petty things that get on my nerve

1.People that don’t close their mouths when eating and it literally sounds like you’re sitting next to a horse.

2.People that sound dry like it’s clear to every man and their dog that they’re needing to drink but decide to sound like they have a mouthful full of mashed potatoes whilst they talk rather than having a glass of water. 

3.People that have the constant need to click their knuckles,elbows,neck etc 

4.People that sit with their phones on loudspeaker having a full blown conversation whilst you’re in a public place I’m like “do we really need or want to hear what your auntie Jean had for lunch”

5. Having the sound on their phone whilst they type a text. That tippy tappy noise goes through me.

6. People that have mental or physical illness that use it as an excuse for their actions. 
 

7. Fully grown adults that are still looked after by their parents and don’t know the basics such cooking for themselves or rely on their parents to do their cleaning. 
 

8.People that never put their hands in their pockets and expect you to pick up the bill every time. 

9. when people leave bits of food like egg or fish floating about the sink not alone annoys me but gives me the boke 

But apart from that, was the rest of the night out a success?

Getting the bus from Edinburgh Airport to Dundee just now. 22 quid, give the driver two 20s. He has that wee "aw ffs" look before handing back a tenner, fiver and exactly 3 round pounds. 

That wasn't hard was it ya f**k? Give us a card option to avoid counting next time. 

These c***s expect aw c**t just to have spare coins kicking about coming from all over?

Phoning for a doctor's appointment and having to wait two and a half weeks. Broken Britain.

I've never had an issue with doctors,  phone at 8.30, get a phone call back from a GP and go to the surgery if I need to.

I made an appointment last week. Was seen 2 days later. 

Falkirk has a secret super NHS system. Don't tell anyone.

Probably because the majority of the population still treat ailments from shite they find out the backdoor

Just had to spend £1500 on van repairs. Plus a week's lost work while it's in the garage.

I recently bought a used van which was in great condition and low miles etc, the only issue being the aircon didn't work. No big deal I thought, probably a gas top-up required...

Nope. Condenser and compressor knackered, £1300 to fix. I'll be driving like Ace Ventura this summer.

Unusual to find a reasonably priced one these days.

If you are mechanically competent, it is possible to purchase and install the necessary parts and then get a specialist to gas it up…but you run the risk of the initial diagnosis having missed something. Also, it isn’t a simple job on some vehicles.

I'm actually an HVAC engineer but don't do automotive. The work itself probably isn't too taxing, but the access is a pain in the arse for a DIY job without a lift. The days of laying on my back under axle stands for 4 hours are long gone.

If it’s a common brand/type, salvage units might make it more affordable…or, take the Southern solution:

Thieving bassas at the car insurance company wanting a £35 'admin fee' for changing a registration number.

Got stung twice last year. Bought a new car - £35 fee. Took a week for the personalised number plate paperwork to come through. Another £35.

70 quid for next to nothing. 

Private plates are in essence a tax on morons so no suprise to see the insurance industry getting on board to ride them all the way to the bank.

I have been using cheap toilet paper of late so I’m hoping it’s just nicer toilet roll and a bit of anusol required.

If it gets worse, a mini milk may help.

Pretty sure I posted this before but a few years ago I needed to get to Ayr and the train was cancelled. Went to get the bus and having staggered backwards at the fare being quoted I presented the Stagecoach driver with a £20 note (well before cards on buses was a thing) only for the fat kunt to then lean out his cab, wave the twenty in the air and announce to the other passengers "We've got a fucking comedian here". Needless to say I haven't set foot on that bus ever since.
