Maybe a religious person could fill me in but I don't get it. If it's to bless the ground do they do it every time they walk through a park? If it's because it's their work place would they really do it walking into Asda if they were a shelf-stacker? I don't know why it does but it annoys me. As does Religion in general tbf. But to me I always think of it as a trend rather than a genuine thing. The absolute worstcunts are these types:- Was playing 7's a couple of weeks ago and a boy who had just finished playing on the other park whapped his prayer mat out and was giving it big licks in the car park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Regarding the religious stuff sportsfolk do as mentioned above (religion ), do they think god gave them the ability or luck to win? What happens if they lose? Also folk from either side will be praying, so how does their god decide who to favour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it really fucking annoys me also and just seems like such a stupid idea to have a big golden chain round your neck when you are about to play sport of any kind. Aye you see the Lycra lot & they get all their hair cut off (probably by a Turkish barber) so they are ultra streamlined then you see them with chains on ffs.

DA Baracus Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If you were god and had all that power, surely you'd do something more worthwhile/interesting/amusing than making a player score a goal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The "town crier" in work.Anytime she cottons on to any "news" breaking she barks it out, usually reading the first few lines of the news report as if everyone else is incapable of looking it up if they're semi interested.Been particularly horrific given the amount of celebrity deaths this year ("AW NO THATS VICTORIA WOOD AWAY NOW") and the Olympics ("ANOTHER GOLD FOR US IN THE SAILING")Incredibly petty but so fucking annoying day in, day out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At every product launch there would be a queue 200+ folk long at 7:30am. Machine gunning would have been too kind for them. Aldi opened it's first stores recently in Western Australia. They had to set up those winding temporary barriers you get at airport security to control the queues of up to 6 hours long. 6 hours.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Staying on topic..."x items or less" notices. Whatever happened to 'fewer' as a word? It's falling into desuetude It's hard to think of a way that having separate words for "fewer" and "less" actually conveys any useful information We know that "items" are countable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
