Really minor annoyances


Perfectly innocent tautological statements.

Recent one: "I've just had a new baby."

One of the defining characteristics of a baby is that it's new. Kinda why they just call them newborns, not oldborns or here's a born I made much earlier.

"Aw that's a cute baby, is that a new one?"

"No, had her years mate. Doesn't seem to get old. Nae idea why."

Superb use of the word tautological
 
On the subject of bins - are SCC withdrawing the use of the black caddies in the blue bins?
Ours went missing after this weeks collection - I checked about another half-a-dozen bins and they too were all missing and the main bins looked as though they'd been cleaned.

New one for the floor. Why make shower gel that is too liquid. Half goes down the plughole when. You put it in your hand. The other half before it makes it to your skin.

Also who thought screw top toothpaste was a good idea.

Part of the reason I switched to soap.

Bayliss and Harding. You get a posh looking gift set at Christmas that looks similar to Molton Brown, but when you open it, it's cheap liquidy shite 😔


Or when they say things like "don't you want to help disabled children?" when you say no thanks.

Or knock on the door and claim everyone in your street has signed up apart from you.

It puts me off the charity too.

I had to get a sign for the door. We've had no end of window salesmen, milkmen, builders and charities down here.

As for the charities, I just tell them I'm a freemason and I give enough, that shuts them up.

Haven't used mine in years just chuck all recyclables in the blue bin
 
People who leave huge gaps in stationary traffic. Bunch up man you friggin idiot you're making the queue longer than it needs to be. Was stopped at the lights by Rectory bank in Boldon yesterday. Half way up the bank but the Audi behind me decided to sit down the bottom of the bank at the roundabout. Then the next lights he did the same leaving an eight car gap. Bell.

If you ever watched them emptying the bins they used to tip the black caddy content in to the top of the blue bin before putting it on the wagon. So it was pointless.
