Really minor annoyances

Good. I’d love them to put a maximum volume on exhausts or engines too. Someone this morning, built up area, a couple of hotels, revving up his bike to stupidly loud levels at a red light, then roared off down the road doing wheelies. Ten to six in the morning.

Christmas, it’s November 12th and I’m sick of it already.

I’m not a miserable sod (well I am a bit) I like Christmas but it’s November the 12th!

Wankers who cross a road, and then realise a car is coming, and continue to walk at a slow pace so the car has to slow down, as if to express their coolness.

Normally leads me to mutter "don't f*cking milk it ye tw*t"

Things (i.e. plants,candles, picture frames etc.) positioned on the window ledge exactly where the blind gans when muggins (moi) has to lower it every night.

Hand dryers with rubbish motion sensors that keep going off before your hands are dry.

It's a choice between being blown on by an excited spaniel or ear splitting jet engine powered Dyson.

Weather presenters saying “pretty much where we should be for this time of year”.

It’s the weather man, there’s no plan.

I'm already having discussions about Easter Eggs. They'll be in the shops soon

I dislike the ones that give instructions like "BATHE" on the side of the bath and "BAKE" above the oven. How many people try and bake an apple pie in the bath while getting washed in the oven?!

The BBC would get it wrong if they looked out if the window.

I don't have a watch

I read about that ages ago.

Didn't know it was ongoing, but it must be contributing to accidents.

Eh? I never mentioned them.

Can I add to the list -

People randomly attacking the BBC

(Just like with a few other things over the past decade, people should be wary of their encouraged anger actually getting a result which makes life in this country worse).

I was just commenting on how shit their weather forecasts are.

I have seen a few on the Rightmove thread with "Be like a flamingo in a flock of pigeons".

As well as the whole aspect of why the hell would you want to see that in large letters in your wall every day, it makes no sense. Flamingos are a social bird and live in very different habitats with different food sources than pigeons. They take in large amounts of mud and water in their big beaks then filter out anything they can eat. They are not equipped to peck at small seeds and whatever else pigeons eat. The colouration in what they eat gives them their famous pink colouring.

A flamingo in a flock of pigeons is something that will be lost, confused, anxious, and it's bright pink feathers will dull before it dies an agonising death of starvation and dehydration.

Why would anyone aspire to that enough to put it on their wall in large friendly letters? It is probably the most desperate cry for help I have ever seen. I hope it is not the reason their houses are now on the market.

When tv and radio presenters wish some oldie happy birthday, and say they're 80 odd years young.

It is the internet, the world wide web, or just the web.

Old people driving on the hope road.

Put your foot on the accelerator and you'll not need to change down to second gear when you're half way up a bank.

It's really minor annoyances mate, not the scary death of an out out place bird. Glad you care so much about poor lonely flamingos though. #Pinkbirdslivesmatter!

man flu (mild), annoying the fuck out of me currently. put me on my death bed or leave me be

People who use their indicators on huge lane/traffic light controlled roundabouts.

The expression ‘man flu’.

It’s mildly annoying when I say I have a cold, or even when I don’t say I have a cold and I just sound a bit bunged up or I cough or something, and somebody says ‘man flu’. And sometimes it’s not even a woman saying it.

No. I’ve got a cold. I’m not making a big deal out of it. You are by insinuating that I am.
