Really minor annoyances

Unfortunately, the English version has more than one meaning and one could gain a reputation.

Any decent educated English gentlemen would intrinsically know what is meant by horse riding.

Collins offers this definition- Horse riding is the activity of riding a horse, especially for enjoyment or as a form of exercise. American English: horseback riding /ˈhɔrsbæk ˌraɪdɪn.
 
People who share sh!t they've found on social media, as if you too will think it hilarious/best song ever/inspirational

It may surprise you, but intruding into my chill out time with crap you like (but guess what, I might not) is dull as owt

Think have offended one who sends life coaching type rubbish - when I laughed at her Jake Humphrey "spouts feel good messaging" reel
 
TV Programmes that start with “coming up in today’s programme”. I don’t want to see something I’m about to watch.

Drama programmes that end with “in next weeks episode”. I don’t want to see what happens next - especially when they reveal in the preview that the bloke who was just shot or whatever, isn’t actually dead or something.

Also dramas that end with a piece of stirring or poignant music that really, really fits the mood …. and then they minimise the credits whilst a continuity announcer speaks over it to tell you that next weeks Question Time is from Aberystwyth or something.

All of this, plus when they minimise the credits when you want to read them.

More annoying is documentaries/reality tv that do a recap of the episode so far after every adbreak

Yeah that’s way too annoying to be in a ‘minor annoyances’ thread. Stretch forty minutes of content into an hour. I don’t have ADD I remember what has been presented not five minutes ago.

Similarly when they have a program like ‘To Catch A Smuggler’ and have three different story lines all chopped up with recaps to build the suspense. There is no suspense the lad is bang to rights, we just want to know how many condoms of blow he’s swallowed and how much chokey he’ll get once he’s crapped them out.

Similarly weather men and women going on like it’s a murder mystery. “I’ll be back at 6.25 to tell you what the chances are that it’ll rain tomorrow.” Just tell me now you cold front c*nt I’m going out at six.

Oh the airport ones are the worst for it.

"This passenger is being questioned after it was revealed he only had 50p for a 10wk stay in Australia, but what officers find in his luggage could explain everything"


Meanwhile in Melbourne, police are talking to this New Zealand national after he admitted hed been in prison for shooting his neighbour in the face.
 
People who go to the gym, do one set on the Lat pull down machine and then sit on their phone for five minutes before doing the second set.

That’s actually quite annoying.
