Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

The overuse of "Breaking News". The UK leaving the EU is not breaking news.


Breaking news:

Prince Andrew sweats!

(I agree wholeheartedly, total overuse of the phrase now, usually with completely unimportant happenings.

I find the best way to cheer myself up after Scotland lose at rugby is to remember that rugby is utter shite, and I don't give two shits.

My sentiments exactly, although I would probably have said something completely different had they won.

Move over here, it's only 95p.

If I use them a lot all those 4ps will add up.

ETA I know I said a quid but it's actually 99p as I refuse to be 1 of those people who say £3.99. it's £4

There are three ATMs in less than 300 yards on London Road here - iwithin the last few months they have all started charging. 99p may not seem much but over a year that's more than fifty quid.

99p is effectively a pound. £9.99 is £10. 

It's very petty and it gets on my nerves. 

See when you do that In a shop you see the look from sales assistants as they don't want to correct you as the customer is always right but they also want to pretend you give a f**k about £1 or 1p

When I bought a car and the price was £6999 I kept on saying £7k. The salesman did Seem a little annoyed.

When you're spending £7k nobody cares about £1 mate.

My blood pressure was rising at 99p

£6999 is getting dangerously close to seizure.

Couldn't  every price tag end with a  .00 or a .50? 

Is that asking too much?

Couldn't we just keep it fucking simple and convenient.

You made me think of Tom robbing the Post Office in Father Ted "It's my money, Father, I just don't like filling in the forms.  "
