    Another thing that irritates me is plastic carrier bags that you can see through. I do have my own bags but occasionally I forget them and when I do forget and have to get a plastic carrier bag instead it annoys me that other people can clearly see the contents of my carrier bag. I don't want everyone on the bus to know what I just bought from the supermarket.

    I saw a guy get onto a bus with two tubs of vaseline in his bag. It wasn't the vaseline, but the fact that one was a large tub and the other a small tub.

    =

    I can't find the song 'Get Away' by Soul II Soul on YouTube. It's one of the best songs on the particular album, Volume 5 - Believe, IIRC.

    I try to avoid escalators. If there are stairs I will use them instead. People stand too close to you and some people will try and pass you by walking up the escalator. I can understand people doing this if they are in a hurry and the ordinary staircases aren't nearby. I just make sure that I keep to the side so that anyone who wants to pass can do so but there is a shopping centre I go to where the stairs and the escalators are directly next to each other and when I see people walking up the escalators I think why don't you just use the staircase next to it.

    If you were to travel up or down Angel underground escalator in London (the third longest in Europe) you wouldn't use the stairs.

    Why is it that my shampoo comes in a 500ml bottle, but the conditioner is only 400ml :mad: :(

    Why do some tubs of cream come in 225 ml sizes. Seems a strange size. Maybe it's a throwback to imperial measurements, e.g. 440 ml beer cans.

    The Sky News iPhone app - and, more specifically, it's constant push notifications about them having a programme about Flight MH370.

    I get what the Vaseline might indicate but what's the significance of one large and one small? Am I asking a very stupid question?! :blush:

    No. I found it a tad strange that he bought two different sized tubs, when we're talking about a quid or so difference in price.

    Perhaps the smaller was a free offer.

    I'm sure someone has said this before (rather not go through 150+ pages) but one thing that really annoys me is the word "fandom", and it's implications...

    "I'm in [insert band/popstar here]'s fandom because..."
    "[insert band/popstar here]'s fandom is the best fandom."

    Seriously, saying that you're in a fandom makes you sound like you're part of a cult blindly/religiously following whatever that person says or does. Maybe a generalisation but you get the idea...

    This happens at school frequently:

    You're the first person to your class and the door is locked so you wait outside until a teacher lets you in. Then, some people in your class decide to see if the door is locked.
    Hello, if it was unlocked, do you think I would just randomly be standing outside the room like an idiot. It really annoys me>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(

    I was at a museum today and there was a couple and their young child, probably about two years old, there too. Mum kept calling her child 'Baby'. "Baby, come and have a look a this", "baby, there's something you can play with here". Mum was pregnant, so goodness knows how "baby" will cope when another "baby" comes along. Aaargghhhhhhh............

    How do you know the child wasn't called Baby?

    There are a lot of stupid names about these days.

    People who stop for you at a zebra crossing and then gun their engine full throttle and squeal their tires after you've crossed. I mean geez, if you're in that much of a hurry, maybe you shouldn't have stopped at all. :D Just so dramatic I guess.

    Guys named Thomas writing the shortened version of their name as 'Thom' rather than 'Tom'. The argument for it would of course be that there's an H in Thomas but it just seems a bit pretentious to me. I always read it as "Thhhom".

    I think you're right, but as I've never had flu, I can't be sure.

    You would certainly know if you had the flu. You ache all over and can barely raise your head off the pillow!
