Really minor annoyances


Music adverts on Spotify for artists I wouldn't listen to in a million years.
Surely they have enough info. from my playlists to tailor somebody I may be interested in.
 
Bit of a niche one this, in one of the videos for Starman by Bowie there's a kid in the background wearing a pink hooped tank top that keeps trying to get in camera shot.
He really gets on my nerves.......

I think this song it's self is a minor annoyance. Horrendous song.
 
Must be on here already, FaceTime on the phone in the pub/bar on full shout mode. Right up there with watching media clips in public places on full volume….. Pulls out gun, screws on silencer and double taps their forehead!
 
Current affectation of seemingly asking a question but indicating you're only open to the answer you append to the end...

...very annoying, no?
 
People on holiday in airports , in towns , attractions etc who lose all all awarness that people exist . Walking along , couples suddenly stops in front of you to look at a phone , check behind silly tw*t . Taking a picture someone steps in front of you to take the same picture . Daft eastern europeans trying to edge in front in a bus queue thinking ive never been in a half time scrum for a pint , no way Ivan . People put bags on the only seat on a bus. Loud mouthed groups of young cockneys that have to shout every excitable statement at each other, then punctuate it with loud group laughter as if every sentence is a Sean Locke quip . 'Influencers ' and every other feckers taking selfies with a trout pout in front of things of significance that have stood for nearly 1000 years .Ordinary beweres doing 25 different model poses with V signs , over the shoulder look , etc for one snap , you've still got back tits love . . Just the self everywhere .

I must say. Through various events yesterday I was thinking how selfish and ignorant people have become. It could have been the warmer weather but I think in general there seems to be more c**ts about than ever before.

I was at the ‘inland sea’ on Gozo once. Very scenic. There are cliffs with caves and channels through which the sea comes and a nice little totally enclosed harbour has been created. It’s mostly tourist dinghies that berth there now and there’s a little cafe.

We were sat having a meal there and watching a succession of coach trip people - mostly young pairs of lasses - walking along to the end of jetty and taking turns to do pouty poses, checking the result, trying again with the hip extended a little more and the hair swept back etc. It went on for quite a while and me and the missus were making a little game out of watching it. We realised after a while that a few other people at the cafe had also noticed - all nationalities - and had also noticed that other people were laughing at it.

It became quite a communal event.

Went to a holiday resort a couple of years ago where literally around every corner there was some bellend standing around, in everyone's way, doing a video about their holiday for "their followers." The absolute nadir was in one of the restaurants, this group of absolute arseholes had brought some lighting equipment to their table ostensibly to help them light the 800,000 photos they were taking of themselves and their meal, but which could easily have been used as a floodlight to illuminate a POW camp in the war. They were genuinely shocked that all the other diners told them to turn the f***ing thing off before they blinded everyone. The tossers

Yes , the loud cockneys , and poseurs were actually very prevelant at the blue lagoon on Camino . Having said that ive seen V signs, pouts and " catch me pose meditating" pics in front of Golden Buddha in Bangkok temples . How wonderous an object they must be in their own mind.

Best thing to do when visiting the blue lagoon is get there as early as you can and get away from there as soon as the hordes arrive and the burger stalls and deckchair blokes set up.
