Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I leave my house 75 minutes before catching a flight from Inverness, and still have time for a pint before boarding. :)

Nightmarish behaviour. Even when I'm getting a train or bus from Aberdeen I'm in the city centre a good 45 mins before departure. Planes it's at least a couple of hours. Time to relax, read and stare into space. Perfect.

My own pttgomn is simply when people call initialisms acronyms. It's truly petty.

People sprinting to get on a plane first are almost certainly arseholes with 6 carry on bags, holding up everyone in the aisle then staring at people when they eventually sit down.

RE the planes and buses, etc. 

Anyone that gets up and queues may as well announce that they are a moron to the room. 

Maybe true in the UK, but for example when I lived in Hong Kong the difference between being 1st off the train and last off could mean an extra 30 minutes in a taxi queue.  Or an extra 10 minutes waiting on the next train which could mean being late for work or an appointment.

All my collections are on a Tuesday and sometimes brown bin one a Wednesday. It's interesting to see how other cultures live.

 

ETA yes that's right I can afford the brown bin permit

Why have retired footballers never heard of the word "those"? 

Joe Cole - "them players"

"them type of teams"

"them clips we just showed".

The majority of the population of Northern Ireland has never heard of it either.

If we had that sort of system our next door neighbour would be worn to a shadow bringing the bins back up the entry. See the source image We have a collection every Friday - one week it's the black bin, the other week it's the brown and blue bins.
