Really minor annoyances

Popped out for a walk tonight as still annoyed about who or what put a couple of our house windows out in the last month and a £300 plus bill. Fairly quiet tonight as opposed to when I had a stroll last night. The fireworks season seems to start early in high Willington and playing chicken around cars just seems the norm. Just saw kids about 12 to 14 knocking or kicking people's front doors which seems fair game I suppose and the odd skewered pigeon on a fence earlier today. However last night observing some kids (and I use the term loosely) placing stones on a main road and watching cars either hit them or swerving to avoid them was another eye opener. No wonder Police avoid the place although I suppose everywhere has their fair share of expendables. Trouble is when I observe potential suspects in narrowing it down in nailing them it's no better than multiple choice and I would absolutely hate it if I obliterated the wrong wrongun. Tbf I have met some nice people who are just down to earth here but although not admitting it to my wife when I check the crime rate where I live I can't help feeling it has more than it's fair share of wastes of oxygen. Belonging to an older generation when having a pint at seventeen would have got me a good hiding off me dad, I guess the disciplining has somewhat being erased due to ruling with an iron fist being unlawful if administered in this day and age. When at about 14 I didn't frighten easily although with a paper round if the gate had beware of the dog on it I was wary and one property in particular in Chester le Street. Aye as I strategically inserted the paper through a low letter box if Bunty the corgi got there before the owner the paper was a gonna. Always got a ten bob note as a Christmas tip off the owner but I was terrified when she opened the door in case the dog appeared. The only and important consolation at that age I could outrun a Corgi and on half a dozen occasions needed to.
 

Poundland

Stood in a queue for a while today while the till person had to tell every single customer they now have an app and do you want to download it now and get some points?

Works like Asda reward points you know

Seen the queue mate? That's you causing that Mr/Ms Poundland enployee

And asking for every card transaction if you want to make a charity donation - to a charity they don't even have the decency to identify - is just outlandishly rude

Actually just retailers in general as I was out shopping today. Retail experience in the UK is the pits

Pretty much every single thing related to smart phones and the general public.

Watching son getting interviewed now after the spurs game on the pitch, about 300 people stopped in the ground to watch , every single one of them to a man is filming on the phones. They can't hear him and can barely see him. What's the point ?

Congratulations mate, which one is he?
 
Got off the metro at Central and normally allow my wife in front going up the escalator. Just as we approached, two young lasses with short dresses and fecking great legs were just in front of me and my wife was behind me, just by chance. Was rubbing my hands in anticipation when some twat of a bloke stepped right in between me and these lasses. How rude.

My car beeping at me because I’ve opened the driver side car door while the engine is running. Yes, I know. I need to pop back into the house for something.
It’s an obvious alarm.

So vou're the bugger who wakes me up every morning with that fecking alarm going? Shut the door FFS.
 
I'm sitting in Waverley now and it always bothers me that they don't announce my train platform until 15 minutes before, even though all the ones after it have been announced.

It's a very small annoyance, granted, but that seems to fit the bill
 
Blokes wandering about in brand new work trousers, who haven't just come from work, and aren't on their way to work. Behave, this is just ever so slightly annoying!
