Today I'm all wound up about certain footballers having their first name on the back of their shirt.
Great goal tonight against Malta , Dele Alli, but it doesn't make you so special that you can have 'Dele' on the back of your shirt instead of Alli while the rest of the team have their surname. What is that all about? |

Supermarket cashiers who are extremely polite and friendly to rude customers, but rude to polite and friendly customers.
I always say hello (and ask them how they are if there is time). I remember my manners, I don't cause a fuss over things and the response I get is akin to having spat in their eyes and demanded the soul of their first born child. Meanwhile the aggressive customer who swears, grunts and makes complaints gets nothing but friendly chit chat and warm welcomes. I'm not asking for much but some eye contact and a thank you with my receipt would be nice. |

Wet wipes. Trying to remove just one from a packet is impossible - 4 or 5 always spill out together. Really infuriates me.

"Bland" as a catch-all term for "I didn't like this" People (usually when discussing video games or TV shows) using "overpowered" as a synonym for "too powerful." Then abbreviating it to "OP." It makes me want to bludgeon someone Quote:

E.g. Person A reads the Bible regularly, is observant, goes to church every week, etc. However, they believe that God is all-loving, and that they shouldn't judge others. They don't want to ostracise gay and trans people, or censor TV, they don't care if we scrap Sunday trading laws as long as they don't have to work on Sunday, etc. Person B likes the idea of Jesus and goes to church maybe at Christmas and Easter. They otherwise don't really follow the religion. Person C puts down C of E as their religion on official forms because "it's what everyone does" and they sort of see it as the default option. All these people might call themselves Christian. Which of them are we supposed to base said public policy around? |

Walking through a cob web
![]() In Australia we have webs like fishing nets that stretch from one side of the garden to the other...with an alien spider in residence right in the centre. Try walking through one...strands like fishing line caught in your hair, your face. |

Christenings for people who aren't religious and haven't gone to church since they got married 5/6 years ago. Seems pointless.

Yes. And choosing people to be godparents who also don't go to church and follow any particular faith. It's been reduced to simply an excuse for a day out and a party these days. And people treating the title of 'godparent' as thought it gives them some kind of parental validation. It doesn't.

The joys of living near a garage or two - everyone parks on yellow lines and doesn't care about pedestrians and their safely.

That when assessing which queue is likely to move through the petrol station the quickest I always seem to choose the one which is the slowest and I see people who arrived after me driving off having filled and paid while I still wait. Someone taking their sweet time browsing the Murray Mints and making a coffee I think.

Hero lorry drivers. I was in a queue of traffic where the lane filtered into one and this moron lorry driver decided to middle into the filtering lane and block everyone off, and in doing so turned right into the back of a car that was filtering. Of course, I was up out of my seat before you could say cigdfkdyufxkdj. Err, umm, I wasn't trying to block yadda yadda yadda. ****ing idiot.!!

People taking huge wheeled suitcases onto busy commuter trains during rush hour. I'm surprised there isn't a restriction on this - a lot of trains ban bikes during rush hour, but the really big suitcases can take up as much space as 1-2 standing passengers

![]() ![]() I'm Australian and believe me this kind of thing has led to bloodshed at some Sydney filling stations when it's been a stinking hot day and people take too damn long to pay and move their car. My son saw a man lose it last year when sitting in 35C heat and he charged inside to find the owner of the car parked at the bowser was standing in a queue purchasing icecreams for his friends - he hadn't paid for his fuel and was not in hurry to do so. I'm told it got ugly

Meanwhile all the seats have been taken by people getting on the carriage at the other end so you end up having to stand for the whole journey. |

People with Iphones who send you an email and put "sent from my Iphone" at the end of it as if you're supposed to be impressed that they own a bloody Iphone!
It's like me having a face to face conversation with someone and ending every sentence with "sent from my brain using my mouth"! |
