Liars.
People who betray you. People who pretend to be friends but are just waiting to stick the knife in your throat. |

Even when I'm employed I look unemployed.
It was funny a few years ago in PC World the staff were obviously watching me even though I wasn't acting suspiciously and a few queries were answered as though it was to much trouble. That was until they realised I was there to spend £900, then the attitude quickly changed! It's a strange ability I have that's for sure. I missed my calling with the fraud squad

People from Scotland, Wales and England who don't know that Ireland and Northern Ireland are two different places. Northern Ireland is a part of the UK, Ireland is not. Ireland has a different currency and if I went across the border my phone would change networks and in some areas they speak Irish. It's happened so many times when I've been talking with people and they say oh I'm going to Ireland and I say ah which part I love Ireland but haven't been in a while. They say sure you live there, erm no I don't actually. Oh well where do you live? Northern Ireland. Oh same thing, no no it's really not. English people would not like it if we said they lived in Scotland and vice versa. Nothing to do with religion because I'm not religious it's just geography.

People who don't know there's a difference between the topics WHAT DO YOU HATE? and TRIVIAL THINGS THAT ANNOY YOU INTENSELY, so close one of them.

Delivery drivers who instead of ringing the door bell just leave my parcel outside my front door.

In what way does a unemployed person stand out to a employed person, does a inactive person look different to a unemployed or employed person ?

When I am invited to someone's home to visit and they leave the TV on - I am never sure whether they want me to talk loudly over it or keep quiet so they can watch it...

In any case if you knew them well you'd know to avoid visiting during, for instance, Corination Street if you didn't want to watch it with them. Most people sit around and talk with the telly on anyway, perhaps your one of those people who "don't watch telly". (Although remarkably know who's winning tennis/strictly or can talk at great length about the plot of Downton etc.) ------- Which brings up a trivial annoyance of my own: people who claim not to watch telly but when they come round sit mesmorised by it and know who's winning tennis/strictly or can talk at great length about the plot of Downton etc. |

A depressing standard these days im afraid
![]() On a positive note: Without a signature you didn't receive the parcel = 2 for the price of 1 ![]() I was told by Amazon to leave instructions if I'm not in. Except, I was in. And they didn't ring my doorbell or that of either flat above me. (I know because I can hear the doorbell of the flat directly above me) Quote:

The only people I know who do this are family. If I've got visitors (who aren't family) the TV goes off. Or it's muted at least.

(I know because I can hear the doorbell of the flat directly above me) The only people I know who do this are family. If I've got visitors (who aren't family) the TV goes off. Or it's muted at least. I just automatically turn off the box or stuff a tape in to record if I am half way through something when someone calls over. My grumble is with people I don't get a chance to see often and I want to catch up with them but they have half an eye on the telly all the time and its always shows with loud audience applause at regular intervals. I suppose I see TV as entertainment when nothing else to do, but they may see it as more important than my visit - even if I have driven quite a way. Funnily when they visit me and the telly is off they chat more and seem more relaxed. They certainly never ask for it to be put on or even mention it. |

Not if you're from the Birmingham area and much of the Midlands, apparently.
