The mothers posing with full-on victim face standing beside their aggrieved offspring. Not to mention the state of them

Intense trivia. I like my game shows relaxed and sedate.

Hmm. I hadn't, but I'll keep a weather eye out for it happening now. Thanks for the tip. (I'll apologise to Chrome if it's the computer. )

Compressed deodorants.

So the can is a little bit smaller, whoopie doo. The issue is they only squirt out a pathetic girly dribble, not the decent blast you get with large cans.

There's a fat prick who sits next to me at work. All he seems to do all shift is sit and eat, complete with horrible chewing / mouth noises and OTT finger licking.

Anyone else get irrationally annoyed by eating noises?! There's a deep rage burning inside right now.

I can't stand it. I absolutely can't. I used to work with a woman who seemed to think the way to express her enjoyment of food was loud smacking of her lips as she was chewing. The noises were accompanied by chewing with her mouth open, and, "mmmmm MMMMMM!!" noises every time she took a mouthful. Even a packet of crisps got that reaction.

I avoided her like the plague at lunchtimes, but then I made a huge mistake. Me and my husband went out for a few drinks with her and her boyfriend, and they ended up staying at our house. It was great until I cooked them breakfast the next morning, and they're both as bad as each other. It was like a competition between them to see who could be the noisiest, complete with the, "mmmm MMMM!!!" noises. My husband was staring at them like they were aliens - he couldn't eat his breakfast because of trying to suppress laughter, which set me off too. I had to go upstairs out of the way for a good laugh.

I don't like it either. Is there really any need for it?

I always remember a person on FB who complained on a status that the school text her asking that her daughter was in full correct uniform the next day as it was school photo day. She was ranting that it was short notice etc

Then someone asked why she wasn't in uniform as standard and they needed to be told...Her reply of 'Oh they send this text to all parents' was shot down in 5 minutes when the rest of the parents confirmed they didn't get it and that they all attended in correct uniform most of the time, Her excuse then became 'I don't do washing every day so 2 uniforms isn't enough for a week'

There's a guy who sits opposite me that is always making noises. Chewing, lip smacking, humming, whistling, breathing... really does my head in.

I got one when they first came out. They were rubbish.

Every time I make tea for other people at work (or even guests at home) and there is only a dribble of milk, meaning I have to open another one. I know it's stupid but it just happens to me EVERY SINGLE TIME.

-When people mislead you. They say they have something and then you make the journey to turn up and see them, when they just said it to make themselves sound good. Wish people could be honest from the start.

-I've a painful cut at the side of my mouth and it makes me look like The Joker

Thread titles in the Music section, containing words in uppercase and ending in exclamation marks.

I hate that despite having perfectly comfortable pillows my head somehow often ends up on the very corner edge of the pillow.

Yet more shit adverts on the TV, as if it was ever going to end.

Clearscore with the cat. I mean come on. WTF is that 'voice' all about.

Adverts these days are mostly a complete depression zone, as you're constantly reminded you are:

Liable to die of cancer (please donate).

Liable to have a heat attack or stroke (please donate).

Guilty for not donating to various guilt trip charities, e.g. Water Aid.

Owing various people money, so take out a loan at 1000+ APR. Is that even legal?

Gambling sites. The government relaxed the laws on gambling. Now we are being told to 'play responsibly' and 'if the fun stops, stop'. Now here is an idea. If you hadn't relaxed the laws in the first bloody place, there would be no need to have all these 'play responsibly' etc. messages.

Toddlers at 5/6 years old running round with dummies in their mouths. Wtf...

Drama queens. They're the type who ring you up and tell you, "Oh my god, I'm in a load of trouble at work and it wasn't my fault!" When you ask why, adding in "Oh crap, are you okay? What's the matter? What's happened?" they say, "My bus is here, I'll ring you later," and then you can't get hold of them for two days. When you finally do get hold of them, it turns out to be a storm in a teacup.

The actual 'trouble' was that my sister was given a task to do that should be done weekly by her colleague. Said (serial complainer) colleague has spent weeks bitching and moaning about it, saying he won't be doing it, not ever, not even if they doubled his salary, and so on and so forth, and then spits his dummy out at the boss because the boss gave the task to my sister. So that, apparently, means my sister's in a load of trouble at work.

That summer feels like such a long time ago. I had virtually all of July off but it still feels like it was ages ago and I didn't make the most of it.

Where does the time go.

I've posted before about people joining their friends/family at the multi-checkout but what I saw today takes the biscuit.

A woman with her pram, 2 children, her mother and a scooter at a checkout blocking access to everybody else.

Would it hurt to send one person to the till. Can they not be separated for a minute?

They only had 3 items and this was in Boots.

Playing splix.io and when I [spacebar] hellos to other players I don't get a hello back.

Playing splix.io and I let someone live, and they know I let them off, but they still come and invade my territory, darn it.

People who, back in the early days of ID3v tags, would piss around with them. Possibly for fun, probably because they are as thick as a mattress smoothie.

I just listened to an MP3 of Purgatory by Iron Maiden from the early 90s CD reissue along with Maiden Japan that was credited to someone called Stu Allen. Stu, you really didn't have anything to do with that record. It would have been on the sleeve if you did.

Similarly, I bought the CD version of Kill 'Em All by Metallica recently - I had the cassette version years ago that I lost so I wanted to complete my collection...I do listen to things other than early 80s mainstream metal just so you know... - and the back cover lists the first six songs on the left and the last four on the right. However, the pillock who put the Gracenote thing on the web couldn't understand this and so put track 2 as track 3, track 3 as track 5 etc.

Then, when it came time to put in track 7 (which by their version would be track 2) they suddenly died or something which meant that the final track listing was...

1. Hit The Lights
2. Track 2
3. The Four Horsemen
4. Track 4
5. Motorbreath
6. Track 6
7. Jump in the Fire
8. Track 8
9. (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth
10. Whiplash

(The proper listing is here if anyone is in the slightest bit interested)

We allow these people to vote!

Or even worse; 5/6+ year olds running around with modern day dummies AKA tablets. Each generation is slightly dumber than the last.

That's the best you can do?

I've seen people being pushed in pushchairs who are old enough to shave.

Being pushed through the streets with their knees round their ears throwing a tantrum because their latest pension statement isn't quite what they expected after the latest union negotiations and because they want the same sweets as their sister.

Was Kill 'Em All mainstream metal? I was blasting out that, as well as Ride the Lightning / Slayers stuff / Nuclear Assault etc etc from my bedroom when I was only 11 years old, and it was pretty out there compared to the lame soft metal my friends were playing on their twee little stereos. Metallica are certainly mainstream now though.

I think I just went off on one there. Sorry about that. You just got me thinking of better times.

I recently purchased Ride the Lightning on CD, having not listened to the album since I had it on tape up until the early 90s. That was the first thrash album I ever owned and to this day I still think its one of the best.

Happy days

I'm trying to fill in the gaps of my early 80s Thrash collection. I've gone a bit beardy with my music recently but I realised that the first four (or five, depending on your own opinion) albums from each of the Big Four Thrash bands are bloody good and I need to own all of them.

I'm also typing this while listening to a Bad News 7". They're more modern than futuristic...
