Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Why don't cars have a signal which indicates that after I have driven past the empty space I will proceed to reverse in. 

You just end up with a queue of cars right up your arse if you use the indicators, because they think you're turning at thr next corner.

That would deprive you of one of life's simple pleasures, getting to point at people and telling them to f**k off out the way if they've not been paying attention to your obvious search for a parking space. Just bang it in reverse and let them worry about shifting.

You could try your warning lights I suppose.

When my touchscreen phone suddenly scrolls slightly  just as I am about to select a function and I end up on the wrong page.

Also, at supermarkets when people are returning trolleys to the trolley park, they push the trolley and let go from about ten yards away and it stops short but they just leave it sticking out into the road.

Also, in public toilets, supermarket toilets, etc when there are about 6 urinals, 4 or 5 washbasins but only 1 electric handdrier. Where's the logic in that.

Bought some decent earphones last year. Not amazing, but spent a few quid on them. They've got those inner ear buds. Anyway, lost one of the buds earlier today. No big deal, got spare buds at home and got a spare set of earphones I keep in my rucksack just in case. They are the ones that came with my phone. They are the worst bloody things in the world, got my music on as loud as it will go and still it sounds quiet in my ears. I'm wanting to blast out some Outkast so I can actually hear it, not sit here struggling to figure out which member of the Jackson family he is apologising to.

Or when they just shove them in sideways instead of slotting them into the row when it's just as easy. It's unbelievably lazy.

Trolley attendants in supermarket car parks should be allowed to shoot folk who are too lazy to return their trolley to the bay. In fact, there should be snipers positioned on the roof of the supermarket who will shoot folk in the head if they can't be arsed to put their trolley back properly.

Don't blame the headphones mate, deteriorating hearing is just one of the unfortunate realities of old age.

Strangely you don't get that problem where there's a pound deposit. Although I prefer your deterrent, why should I have to go in and ask for change because other people are lazy thoughtless c***s?

Are you actively encouaging law breaking?

Yes, if it works. I can't think what else you could do apart from driving round and round until there's no traffic, or at least nobody up your arse.

See although it looks like it may have it's merits, I very much doubt it has Pierce Brosnan playing an IRA hitman so it's a no from me.

Delivery companies.

Ordered a fridge 2 weeks ago which was due to be installed today. Text yesterday to say it would be delivered between 2 and 6, with a link to a tracker which has been updating all day, moving back and forward between 4.30-6.30 and 5-7.

Phone call at 5.55pm to say they had forgotten to load the fucker onto the truck this morning.

I assume you said "that's fine, I'm in right now - have them pop back to the depot, collect it, and come straight over"?

And if not, why not?
