Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Charity muggers. The same 3 folk stand in the area next to my work and everyday when I go out of the building for meetings etc they catch me and likewise when I'm going back in. Fucking annoying, how many times do they need told - I happily give to charity but not to random c***s on the street - I set up the direct debits myself when I decide I want to, no being guilt tripped by arseholes calling me 'darling' one even started walking up the street with me!

There's one who stands inside WH Smith on Sauchiehall Street, but still shouts "Help the Brain Tumour Charity" at full volume any time anyone passes him.

Arsehole.

Shelter seem particularly bad for this in the Forth Valley. Terrible faux-mateyness and following people who clearly aren't interested. If they aren't on commission, they're seriously misguided with their used car dealer approach.

Who gives their bank details to a stranger on the street anyway?

Staff in fast-food joints who are programmed to regurgitate a series of fixed questions regardless of the response you give.

I'm exaggerating for effect here, but still.

Call centre staff are just as bad.

Phoned my catalogue a few years ago to place an order.

Once through and whilst waiting on my order "being processed. "We have a couple of offers on your account sir"

1st 1 is the England top. "I'm Scottish mate"

2nd 1 is the England tracksuit. "Still Scottish bud"

Aw, and I thought that you and me were pals BFTD.

Like I telt you, 50p for a cup of tea is fine, but setting up a direct debit is just pushing things a wee bit.

I do admire your chutzpah, though.

In a similar vein, some bint in the Overgate shopping centre asked me 5 times if I wanted Sky TV in the space of about half an hour (ie walking back and forth between shops). The place wasnt exactly heaving. Surely she would have remembered my debonair looks and long flowing golden locks.

She was a wid not, before anyone asks.

Ginger lassie?

The rule is you stay in for two goals? Always has been when I've played certainly

Nae. Always been one with the group I play with (fnarr).

I am a ground breaking trend setter, of course.

(circa 120 minutes until kick off)

Edit : Fuckedit. 180 minutes! :1eye

Aye the same b*****ds followed me halfway up offering me all sort of discounts.

Never imagined that you looked like Flash Gordon.

Leaving someone in goals for a prolonged spell, just because they haven't conceded a set number of goals is pish behaviour. Thankfully the guys I play with are always more than happy to take shot about in goal. Probably more to do with their level of fitness than anything else, but still.
