Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I'm on their side. I've known folk from the Western Isles and North Wales in the same boat. Want to stay there but know they will never be able to afford a house because some cocktrumpets who only visit for eight weeks a year have shot all the prices up and forcing the young folk away.


I see their point of view and don't like the folk that are the cause of the issue (as I also pointed out), but it annoys me when it comes across as sheer expectation.

Go Fund Me pages or whatever else they go by. I'm not just a heartless b*****d and I understand a lot of the time they are set up because something terrible has happened. But more times than not there would have been a way of preventing the need for the page to be set up. It's a new concept: An Insurance Policy!

In the past fortnight my missus has told me of two set up doon here. One was for a dog needing surgery and the other is for a guy lying unconscious in hospital as he's been badly beaten by three little animals from down here. The latter is extremely disgusting but how is £500 going to make any difference to the poor guy's life? The NHS will treat him for free!

The dog one is beyond laughable. Get pet insurance! There was one just on TV there. Again, horrible story. A couple died within days of each other and the family needed to pay the house off. But the kids are early 20's. Why would you not have life insurance in place?!

There are a lot of horrible stories and I'm sure some are truly horrendous and possibly unpreventable but if there is insurance available and people choose to refuse it then f**k them. Why should other folk bail them out?!

Gym music.

I used to go to a Pure Gym and I don't know where they found the music/videos. It was like stuff a level below stuff you'd see churned out by X Factor types. Clearly a ruse to make you buy their headphones. 

The place I go to now has surprisingly decent stuff.

The ones for debt assistance are just as bad. "We might be able to help you write off part of your debt." So whoever lent them the money loses out because this p***k can't handle his financial affairs?

This kind of stuff annoys me. Why is the story about her? What does she have to be furious about? How hard would it have been to chap his door now and again and ask if he was okay? 

Kim Begbie said she called Edinburgh Council several times to report the stench and express her concerns that her neighbour may be “lying dead” upstairs but got no response

It was f***in' obvious that they c***s were going to f*** some c***.

Any gym I've ever been to has had generic dance pop pish continuously blasting out their speakers. I understand it has to be uptempo but 'mon tae f**k. 

I don't know what I'd do without my personal stereo and C90 cassettes.

This is not petty in the slightest.

Found out today my old man has been diagnosed with lung cancer. It's not a surprise, it's been coming for a few years now.

But we've two girls (4 and 2) and I've no idea what to do about telling them.
