Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

People who think it's acceptable to fart all the way through a gig.

Once is fair enough but tonight it was a constant stream for 2 hours. Rage.

It's worse when it happens on stage - nowhere to go. If you're playing four or five gigs on the spin, of necessity your diet consists of late night kebabs and chippies which can have unfortunate consequences.

There was one time up in a hotel in Coupar Angus or somewhere like that where the bass player was so rancid that the whole band bar him ended up crowded over the opposite side of the stage every time he dropped an eggy cheese-bomb.

It must have been obvious after a while what was going on.

When people make statements on TV and their voices rise at the end of each sentence, making it sounds like a series of questions. The girl on Sunday Politics had just done that and I don't know what she was saying as this vocal tic made me just switch off what I was hearing

The high rising terminal, it's called.

Seems to be used by mainly the under 30s?

More often than not by women?

Talking to somebody who uses it can be annoying?

As f**k?

Last night at the Hydro some tink had spewed all over the hall and stairwell we were using to exit.

Then on the last train home 2 middle aged neds had a square go which resulted in the train sitting at Cumbernauld for half an hour as the police dealt wi it.

Got home at 12.30 and up at 7 for work.

So glad I agreed to this overtime

Ah. The 'this one time AT BAND CAMP' voice...

Popular amongst students nowadays and the people of Edinburgh nowadays.

Irritating.

Ozzies are brutal for it too. Every single sentence on Australian masterchef sounds like a question.

I don't even think anyone who grew up watching the Australian soaps even notices the Antipodean Inflection. Can't say I really did until a few years back when it was all over the press.

I've even found myself doing it a few times, but only when talking to someone i wouldn't trust to wipe their own arse properly, and I want to make sure they're at least listening to what I'm saying <_<

Seem to be a lot of punters out and about just now asking who your electricity and gas supplier is.

Yeah, 'cos I'm going to change it based on having spoken to some c**t in the street.

One of them managed to talk rings round my mum until somehow she managed to sign us up for whatever company they were panhandling for. Turned out they'd asked if she knew anyone who might be interested in switching, so she gave them our phone number to get rid of them, as they'd been following her down the street.

First I knew about it was when we got the phone call to "finalise your switch to us". They hung up immediately when I said I'd never even spoken to someone about switching suppliers, which just confirms to me that the companies know exactly what's going on, but they figure the future fines are worth the extra extorted cash now.
