That annoys the hell out of me - it seems like they've decided that since it happened before their birth, it's irrelevant.

Quizmaster: "So tell us Mr Gormless, I believe something funny happened to you a few years ago.. ? "

Gormless: " That's right, I answered the phone one day at work, and it turned out that the bloke on the other end of the line hadn't dialled the right number, and it wasn't us he actually wanted - it were someone else he were after !
We all had a right good laugh.... ! "

I wish they'd ditch the pleb / funny incident stories on quiz shows.

People who slow right down on green traffic lights thinking they are going to change. They normally time it so they just get through and you are stoped.

Keeping on topic i hate on pointless when they recap the scores after the first half of a round. I know the scores i have just watched them give the answers.

Also the scores are on the front of the podium glowing like a beacon. Unless you were deaf and blind (rendering the quiz truly pointless) then you will already know the scores!

Casual cyclists who ride in the bus lane and bring the bus that you are on down to a deathly slow crawl. The offender is nearly always some new-age boho hag with a basket on the handlebars full of hessian and liverwort.

And people who announce 'I'm cold' during such weather. So what, scrotum-face? Just put another layer on and drink your christing Ovaltine.

Packing for a move and rather than a collection of clearly and specifically labelled boxes it is looking like I'll have about 20 with the word miscellaneous on the lid - I've got a lot of crap.

Cyclist riding at night, dressed in very dark clothing with no lights deserve punching. Along with those cyclist that do have lights but they're the most tiniest / patheticiest of things.

Bloody important booklet of work has gone missing, I just know it's been sucked into the void

Also annoying is my younger brother who is now in high school and swearing all the time. Honestly he has nothing to swear about, I had something to swear about.

Some Fm's on here who post inflammatory replies in the hope that someone will bite. Get a life, preferably somewhere else.

April Fool's Day.

I know it's just a bit of harmless fun, but I absolutely hate the idea that someone has taken the time to write a story in the papers with the intention of making a fool out of me. Just stop now!

The rather violent coughing/laughing fit that your comment caused me resulted in a load of phlegm being brought up. I feel much better now. Thank you!

Yes, and when they say 'so and so at home will kill me if I don't get this'. They make it sound as if their friend or relative has given them an exam in the subject after much effort expended on teaching them, because they couldn't possibly think they are supposed to know everything someone else knows, regardless of whether or not they're related to them, and that someone would be angry with them if they didn't.

And calling a guess an 'educated' guess. No, it's just a guess.

I was actually watching an old episode right before I made my post : )

There was a bit were Armstrong said (after initially introducing the contestants) "and we'll get to know you all more a little later on"

I turned it off.

I've just moved and after separating out useful stuff like electronic equipment, DVDs, books, kitchen stuff ect I'm left with two huge tubs of absolute tat that belongs nowhere. I don't even remember buying a pair of maracas.
desperate house
01-04-2015
We downsized two years ago so we had loads of stuff that needed storing in the garage until the new place was remodelled. Good idea putting it in the garage on the shelving units that we bought specially for this. Unfortunately, my o/h has stored all the look alike cardboard boxes that have been carefully labelled with the labels round the wrong way.

I refuse to even lift the boxes down due to a pathological fear of spiders, so even though the house is finished, the boxes remain and his cars are still on the drive..

Websites that tell you an item is in stock, then after ordering, they announce there is a lead-time of 8-12 weeks. Very very angry indeed.

I had that problem once or twice too. I got around it by dumping all the contents of the bottom kitchen drawer and labelling it "Stuff from bottom kitchen drawer" or "computer desk drawer" etc. Then when I wondered where I'd left my spare mouse, I'd remember the "computer desk drawer" box from the other house. Just a thought - maybe it'll help.

This is trivial;...... and quite annoying.

Quote from the guy who’s just won Euromillions..... for the second time!

"I always knew I'd win, even the first time.I just had a feeling it was going to be me"

Smarmy bastard or what!

Fatigue. I feel so tired. I really don't like night shift. I must endure. Two weeks to go.

People who don't do their job properly, they say they'll do something but they don't bother. I'm really fed up of having to hold their hands constantly and chase them up yet they get paid for it.

Stagecoach in Peterborough - the bus I use is *supposed* to run every 10 minutes. So what doesn't show up after HALF A HOUR? The bus I use - which resulted in me giving up and getting a taxi home.

I can relate. Council tax employees. Just saying that makes my chops burn. There should be a new word cointed for them. Incompetent doesn't cut it.

Having a perfectly open debate, then suddenly the name calling starts because someone doesn't neatly fit into one of the trendy boxes with a big label on their head.
