Yes it's laughable all the people who wear jodphurs and riding boots whilst walking round Safeway and people who insist on owning an off road vehicle like a Toyota Rav4 or a Range Rover just for taking their kids to school. Were they expecting a flood on the way to the school or is it for those unexpected times when they might have to take a short cut across the fields on the way to the shops?

The poster at work that advises employees that somebody's work extension number would be changing - on 6 October 2008.

It wouldn't be too bad, had it not been next to a calendar for 2014.

Selfies, i can't stand them.

The thing that does my head in about them is when there is more than 1 person in them and they still call it a Selfie......................No, that is called a group photo.

That stupid picture that was taken at the Oscars is being called a Selfie, how is that a Selfie ?

Plans being changed at the last minute ruining things

My partner and i had planned to go out tomorrow and his brother wanted to go so we thought we might as well all go together. Then his brother dropped out. We changed the plan to make a day of it including a nice meal and spending the day alone together for the first time in ages. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. Then his brother decides he does want to go. Fair enough we will still do what we planned it just wont be as nice. Today he decides his girlfriend is coming too. My partners too nice to say no so now im dreading it.

What was meant to be a nice romantic day out has now turned into a group outing. I dont like the girl, and the last time we went out together she ruined the whole bloody day and we swore we would never take them out again and now we have a whole day and evening of it tomorrow.

Im mad at myself for letting myself get so frustrated about it. We never go out alone much so i was really looking forward to it and now im just feeling so deflated about it.

The thing is, people have been doing these for years but only recently have they been given such an irritating name for them and become the latest thing to do. No doubt popularised by Twatter and Bookface. Me and my wife have always done self photos at arms length on account that a) there's never anyone around to take the photo of us both together b) They never take it right and you feel guilty asking them to take it again and c) I don't trust anyone not to do a runner with my expensive camera.

@Tt88

^methinks your fella should ring his brother in the morning to (1) sadly announce you've caught that bug that's been going round and will be spending the weekend in bed and (2) hope him and his "lovely other half" a lovely outing. :cough: :cough: :cough:

But what if they make that excuse and go out then end up bumping into them? Awkward!

Thats why we cant we are going to a shop that so specific sooner or later he will realise we have been without him.

Thats what most of the problem revolves around. His gf is desperate to go because she cant bear to be apart from him, but its the equivelent of me spending 3 hours in screwfix when i have no interest in screws! We are basically going to a sporting goods shop and having stuff custom made to suit us so its going to be 3 hours minimum, if they arent busy.

Why on earth she wants to spend that long in a shop she has no interest in, not to mention the long car journey i have no idea!

Last time we took them out she moaned all the way there about the journey being so long, sat miserable all afternoon and then moaned about being hungry before turning her nose up at the food after a few bites! Then she kept looking at her watch and moaning how late it was and she had to get up early for school, that we skipped dessert to take her home! She knew before she came that the day would be boring for her, and we wouldnt be back until almost 10 but she was adament she was going.

What's romantic about spending 3 hours in a shop?

How some places/streets/countries have the word 'the' put in front of them, when it shouldn't necessarily be there; for example:-

'the' Kings Road
'the' Crimea
'the' Gambia
'the' Congo

The awful sound of flip-flops! I HATE it!!!!!!

seagulls

One pooped on me yesterday as i was walking just under the bus shelter i felt big drop fall on my coat sleeve I looked and it was a big white seagull poo..I had one small tissue in my pocket and was trying to get it off on the bus ..The coat is fairly new too Dirty buggars

People calling Twitter and Facebook hilarious alternative names, eg. The Book Of Face, FaceSpace, BookFace, Twatter, TwitBook, etc.

Jeans with button flies that make it almost impossible to have a piss without half undressing first. Levi 501s - I'm talking about you.

Awkward crisp bags.

Tried to open one just now. It ripped open suddenly, spilling its contents over my lap, desk and keyboard.

KEYBOARD! Why? Why?! And thanks for making me feel such a clumsy oaf, too.

Nothing.we had plans for the rest of the day and evening but had to change it.

Whats bugging me now is the large group of foreigners having some sort of party outside our house. I wouldnt mind if it was in their garden but they are on the footpath between our house and their garden, and sitting on our fence.

I was going to report them to the local police when one started hammering at a fence with a golf club and another had a bloke pinned to the ground by his throat. But the next second they were all laughing their heads off. Its annoying because you dont know if they are fighting or if they are just pissed.

Ripped jeans. Who is their right mind goes shopping for ripped jeans? Do they compare the placement of the rip against the asesthetics of a strategically rip?

Have such people realised that they could buy a perfectly good pair of jeans and rip them artisically and personally?

Fashion. Panacea for the brainless masses.

Newsreaders and reporters who can't pronounce the word 'secretary', and say 'sek-et-ray' instead. Gets right on my (non-existent) bell end.)

Everyone in the public eye over the age of 50 being referred to as a 'National Treasure', aaaaarrrgh, no they're bloody not! *and breathe*

I saw a lady who had a load of toilet roll in her shopping trolley and when I went to get some, there was none left of the toilet roll that I like.

Tabloids, magazines etc referring to a comedian as a 'funnyman'. 1) It should be two words 2) Are readers too thick to know what 'comedian' means? and 3) I'll decide for myself whether he's funny, thank you!

People

The word selfie - if the picture is taken by someone who is not in the picture then if is not a bloody selfie

People

"historic sex crimes" - sounds like they are something amazingly good like "historic buildings"

Easy Jet's 'Speedy Boarding'!

A complete con IMHO.

They do it because they know that EVERYONE will pay extra for that option, but the problem is, because everyone opts for it, you don't get on board the plane any quicker.

Closer magazines relationship expert giving her opinion on celebrity couples (who she doesnt personally know) based on two photographs of them taken by a paparazzi photographer.

She comes out with all this bull like "woman is very proud to be with man, you can tell this because shes looking towards his face, while her hand is reaching out for his. Unfortunitely hes not so into her. Hes facing away from her and his hand is clenched showing that hes withdrawing himself from her and wants distance".

Or maybe, just maybe, hes holding something in his hand and hes checking the road for traffic before crossing? I dont think anyone can judge a couples relationship from one or two pap shots when theyve just come out of a club, or on the beach etc. my partner and i often hold hands and look in love and then we will let go because im about to retie my shoelace. If a pap jumped out at that exact moment it would look a lot different to if he took a pic 5 seconds previously!
