He's probably jealous that when you get a job you'll probably be better paid and have better prospects than he has.

Isn't there someone you can complain to about that kind of treatment? That kind of rudeness should be brought to someone's attention. They forget who pays their salaries!

That annoying buzz the fridge makes when its on.

A quick nudge usually stops it, only for it to return about an hour later....

Does that include golfers?

Anyway. Footpaths. Usually wide enough for 2 people. Except when 2 people are coming towards you chatting happily, oblivious that they're taking up the whole path.

OK, you like to stand at the bar at the pub. Do you have stand in front of the pump clips so that nobody else can see what's on? Then look at me like I'm the one who's out of order when I try to peer over your shoulder to see what my drinking choice is? That's how your nose got broken, and it's your fault.

Similarly, old fogies who stand at the bar chatting.

It's not there for chatting. It's there to be served then move away. Especially the dumb twunts who stand infront of the till/card reader.

People who drive in such a hurry , especially in the evening drive home, what's the rush ? Is that shepards pie for tea worth killing yourself for ? got to get back for The Chase !
Slow down FFS ,your going to get us all killed !

Someone starting a duplicate thread entitled "SO..................What Grinded (Ground) Your Gears Today?"

I think he had a chip on his shoulder, no one really wants to work at the job centre it's not exactly a dream job. Funnily enough I do think you're onto something though as whenever he mentioned the titles i've applied for in his words 'my dream jobs' -Designer, Graphic Designer,Web designer etc he'd put on this stupid mocking tone as if to say art/tech based jobs pay nothing and take no skill/effort which simply isn't true.


Next time I go in I'l try to get his name and file a compliant about him. I bet he talks to others like that too it's shameful, he looked very taken aback when I stood up to him because I seem a fairly quiet person. He wasn't expecting me to say anything,

I think what it boils down to is (as he told me bitterly) I was the last appointment in the day for him and all his co workers got to go home as they had no appointments at 4pm, I was on time and I told him - 'I don't make the appointment times! And just because you're having a bad day doesn't mean you can take it out on others and treat them like dirt.'

Everything he said to me yesterday was drenched in a bitter, catty attitude. It's disgraceful tbh.Where does he get off speaking to people like that?

Adults who call their parents mummy or daddy. Bugs me plenty.

It's a quote from The Simpsons.

Oh well, that's okay then.

Even worse, couples who sit together on a step in a park, so you can't get past without walking on the muddy grass.

That is correct, I Googled it to make sure, but as much as I think The Simpsons are hilarious, I still don't think that it's right to use that term about the French.
I take it that it stems from France's reluctance to join the gung ho American/British fiasco in Iraq around 2003.
Calling the entire population of France cheese eating surrender monkeys because of the French government's decision not to join what probably was an illegal war, is tantamount to calling all Brits roast beef eating surrender monkeys for not fighting in Vietnam.

I always thought it referred to the second world war and Vichy France, and before that referencing the Napoleonic wars, The Franco Prussian War and the First World War.
In the media as a quote,it's from way before the Simpsons it's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail in 1974.

well i was trying to buy some holograms of fake money and the thread got deleted before i could send my bank details.....

99.9% of people 100% of the time!! :P
people chewing, people making that noise in their throat (as family guy says : dad noises!)
adverts, radio stations that talk more than play music, the fact that facebook is constantly updating me about things I don't care about, like the kardashians .

Ever thought of saying "Excuse me" and getting them to move aside?

People who have loud public chats on their phones, especially when they're using hands free.

It's usually on or waiting for public transport. Just how important is this phone call exactly and why does everyone around you need to hear it?

When people who are visiting get up to leave because they "need to be making a move" but half hour later they're still standing there in their coats chatting away.

Even worse if they've got as far as just outside the front door. Just piss off if you're going and stop letting the draught in it causing me to stand there whilst you chat about some bollocks you could have brought up before you decided to leave!

I have a variation on that at work. We stagger our lunchbreaks so there is always someone available - 12 to 1, 12.30 to 1.30 and 1 to 2. Fairly simple but we've got one who will want the 12 to 1 slot and then dither about until about quarter to one, go off for his lunch break, come back around 2 and then spend the next half hour eating what he bought when he was out

Calls about PPI, life insurance, surveys etc. Somehow they got hold of my number and now keep sending me texts as well. You think you're getting a text from a friend/relative and its some prat saying 'hiya, do you know you're entitled to this amount of money text STOP to stop these messages.
I'm pretty sure if I send STOP to them they'll send me even more rubbish.
Straight to the delete button for them.

The writer who coined the phrase in 1995 was quite the visionary.

Fabric softener with daft descriptions such as "Midnight Pearl" and "Diamond Shimmer". Just tell me what the hell it's meant to smell of!

1) Household cleaning products that only kill 99.9% of all bacteria!

It's a shame they can't invent one that kill off the 0.01% of bacteria that are really harmful!

2) The phrase 50/50 - It's totally meaningless.

You might as well say I don't know, or I've got splinters in my anus from sitting on the fence.
