Really minor annoyances

not having a pop here mate but have you ever considered gannin to anger management classes there? Every week you seem to be losing your rag over insignificant things imo there. Do the old count to 10, apparently that's just the ticket iirc

I just have a low tolerance for idiots..... Che
 

Amazon reviews where people say they have not opened or used the product. Why?

8th review on this one, and Amazon list it as a top review:

"Haven’t used product yet so can’t give an accurate description. But looks good quality and very prompt service." It is a core drill, which is either going to leave a nice neat hole through the wall, or burn your drill out f***ing up your wall. So why give it a 5 star review if you have not used it?

Do these people walk past a restaurant and give it a Trip Advisor review "Didn't go in but the food smelt nice and the waitress was moving quickly so I guess service is good".

It just automatically makes bad products seem better if they are reviewed based on the box and the delivery time. Idiots.

Or when you click the 1 star reviews and says "was delivered late".
 
Places that charge you for a paper bag.

Paper bags were always exempt from the carrier bag charge.

Also the carrier bag charge was 15p wasnt it? Of which proceeds were ment to go to environmental causes?
Supermarkets charging way more than that and no mention of any environmental causes they're supporting with the charge. Which is odd given how quickly they usually promote their good causes.

Hotel reviews can be terrible as well.

"Hotel was amazing. Staff and food brilliant. Place was spotless. Will definitely be back. 10/10" (gives 3 stars out of 5)

hate reviews where they review the seller rather than the product, happens a lot with screwfix, "great service from Dean in xyz branch as always, friendly service", aye but what about the f***ing sealant you bought mate?
 
My minor gripe at the minute is people leaving a laughing emoji on stuff on Facebook which isn't funny. Aye, I'm probably guilty of it on here but I think they should make you explain it with a comment before it registers. It could be an advert for something like a solar panel and you'll get 50 laughing emoji. Got far too much time on my hands at the minute to be annoyed at that like but I just think 'why you laughing you twat', it's like they laughing at the price something they know nothing about

My mother-in-law used to do that a lot on WhatsApp. She has calmed down a bit.

One that sticks in my mind was "New sofa has just arrived and it is huge - LOL 😂 😂 😂"

I suspect she was not really standing there crying with laughter at a sofa. Or at least I really hope she was not.

These things are just general observation, they are not funny. If you are not really crying with laughter then you are telling lies. Stop it.

i had a similar issue for a short period. Had to resort to drilling holes and putting a padlock on as it was happening when the bin was in it's normal place. The bin was open to abuse when it was put out but thankfully the bin lorry used to come at 8 in the morning. Thankfully the culprit moved away.

Well today brought a little bit of karma.

Daft shite was going to try and dump his manky rubbish in one of the neighbours bins and his bin bag split and everything fell all over the street. 🤣 🤣

Sometimes you get an email and people must think you have to review it.

Have seen similar - 5 stars: "bought for Grandson's birthday and he hasn't opened it yet but I think he will like it"

How can it be 5 stars if you've just wrapped it up and not used it?!
