Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Travelling on Glasgow buses. Filthy (due to the utter tossers who travel on them, it has to be said) with bloody Metros three deep under yer feet; there's always a can or bottle rolling about the floor; crisp pokes and chip wrappers everywhere; the stink from some b*****d's shite-smelling carry out; having to listen to at least one person's music; old people (who may or may not be racists) changing seats throughout the journey; fat folk taking up two seats; people who put their bags ion the seats and you have to ask them to move them; people who put their feet up on the seats; emergency stops; the speed of the bus is inversely proportional to the amount of hurry that you're in; and since racism is in the news today and I might get away with this, there's always an Asian guy barking into his mobile.

Fantastic analysis

The second Stone Roses album was the ultimate shiter for this. I think there were about 99 blank tracks of a few seconds each, followed by a "hilarious" pissing-about-on-a-piano number. STFU AND GTFO.

The utter rage that induced in me the first time I stuck that CD on in the car, forgetting about all the extra tracks was a thing of horrific beauty.

Vinyl was much better for the hidden track stuff. See the double grooves on Monty Python's Matching Tie & Handkerchief, or Mr Bungle's Disco Volante.

(both cracking albums BTW)

Edit: as I recall, early CD players were only built to read somewhere in the region of 30 tracks. When Napalm Death released their first two albums on one CD, it had 54 tracks and would apparently break certain models of player :lol:

That wee button on the flush on push-button toilets. You know, the one that you accidentally hit that stops the toilet from flushing properly. WTF is that all about?

It's to save water when you don't need the Niagra Falls to get your jobby around the U-bend.

So for a piss or the bottom end of the jobby chart below, use the small knob, for the rest use the big one. Easy to remember really, big jobby=big knob.

Really? Ours must be broken - it saves water by doing hee-haw.

Also, that delicious cake; I've never been so confused :wacko:

When using the printer at work as the same time as someone else, they come and look at what you've printed incase its theirs, then put it back the wrong way.

Hanging offence.

Even worse; people who print multiple documents, then go to the printer and pick up the whole stack and take it back to their desk, before throwing anything that isn't theirs in the bin.

Usually the boss' pet, naturally.

People who print out shite and don't go and get it.

Usually the fat c**t.

:P

You never give me the chance, Sharon!

Anyway, off your knees, hunni. The boss has finished up for the day.

When people use the phrase "Opinions are like arseholes; everyone's got one!"

It's such a shite thing to say. It demonstrates an utter lack of imagination. It shows that this person has nothing of value to add to the conversation. It's as if they can't think of a logical argument, or indeed any argument, so they throw this terrible cliche out unthinkingly. I suppose the very first time, literally the very first time, it could seem mildly amusing, but after that it's a clear calling card of a moron.

"hidden tracks" on the end of albums. This was a novelty in the early 90s when CD's were still new and the technology was being explored. It is no longer a novelty. Just put all the tracks on the album as normal and stop wasting my time.

Also, skits on albums. How did you get through all the months of recording, mixing, mastering and preparation before releasing the record and still think these were funny? Hip hop is particularly bad for this. Give it a rest.

Back when CDs were a thing, I learned early on to avoid anything with the phrase "Bonus Tracks". Invariably this meant "Crap, we have an extra 30 minutes to fill. How about we drop in a bunch of outtakes and banter between the musicians?" You ended up having to burn a copy with the tracks you wanted just so you could listen to the album without having to constantly skip through all the filler.

I swear you posted the exact same thing a few days ago :wacko:

Either that, or someone else did, which would be wonderfully ironic :lol:

I posted similar about the phrase 'No shit Sherlock'. Ugh. I'm getting slightly irritated thinking about it. And the other one.
