I need this in my life!


And another thing, job adverts that don't reveal the wage, either not mentioning wages at all, or just mysteriously saying 'good wage', which is what exactly? C'mon give us a clue, please!

"good wage" means you have to negotiate your salary, no mention of wage means minimum wage (or just above)

I don't find it annoying at all. If they put the notes on top they are inclined to fall off. The coins keep them down and all you have to do is tip the whole lot into your bag. You can sort it out later.

The fact that we can't opt out of getting election literature from certain parties - I've already lost count of the amount of crap the Lib Dems have sent me. And it's only going to get worse by the time May 7th comes around.

-People who make comments to me in the street when I don't know them (nor want to)
-When people don't reply to a message/email
-People who don't flush the toilet

Just, people.

Checkout assistants serving a colleague who think they can stand and have a chat when other customers are waiting.

Surely they should know how annoying this is

That fist-chewingly infuriating meerkat baby Oleg during the Coronation Street ad-breaks.

Those endless christing squeaks and squeals go right through me and it's a race to hit the mute button before the bastard thing can be heard.

I fantasise about grabbing the little shit and Jonny Wilkinsoning it into planetary orbit.

Rarely have I seen such bile-inducing tripe, although the guy is seriously hot IMO. I'd let him google my cortana whilst wrapping my lips around his siri.

People who say a comment and then you ask if they're serious with it ,they back down and say 'I was making a joke' when really I'm pretty sure they weren't joking...

I saw a blue comedian called Jimmy Jones who asked a guy on the front row what he did for a living and he said he was an engineer and when he was asked what he engineered it turned out he fixed cars. The comedian laid into him saying he was trying to sound posh and all up himself and said, "What did you say engineer for? You're a facking car mechanic you pr*ck!"

In the 70's he used to do a resident slot at the Montague Arms in Peckham and people from all over London flocked to see him. He never made it onto the mainstream circuit, I presume because he wouldn't change his material for a TV audience.

They used to say that if you wanted to see a very poor imitation of him, all you had to do was go and see Jim Davidson, as he had nicked half his act.

Contestants on quiz shows who haven't a clue what the answer is - mostly say they will take an "educated guess" what they actually mean is a "wild guess" as they haven't got an idea of the answer , perhaps it is I who does not understand the meaning of educated guess

Imagine this

Which football team won the FA cup in 2014?

And educated guess would be say Man utd

A 'wild guess' would be Real Madrid

But that may just be me

I understand what you are saying, but when its a topic they admit they know nothing about then how could it be an educated guess, - " which opera features the aria... " And the contestant says- oh I know nothing about opera but I will have an educated guess... No you won't - you will have a stab at the answer - just irritates me !! ( not that I know anything about opera myself mind!!)

Gentlemen (mostly ones of a comfortably retired age) that dismiss me because, as a female, I can't possibly have any knowledge of or interest in classic cars. Had a guy at work yesterday who needed my help planning a 3 day tour for a classic car club. Completely shot me down when I tried to engage in conversation as it's a car company of particular interest to me. He was more than happy to chat about them with my male colleague who has no interest in them though...

Last year, a classic car club came up from the south of England and wanted a photoshoot at my (other) job. Apparently all I as a female was good for was lying across the bonnet (their words). I point blank refused. Prick.
