Really minor annoyances


People in a thread about studying as an adult, using the term ‘solid’, to express the concept of ‘difficulty’. At least I think that’s what they’re trying to express.
Overstating 'hard'. I'll not let it worry me until adults cease using 'sick' as a positive adjective.
 
Television programmes featuring smug celebrity bellends preaching to us that we should all try to slow down our pace of life and go off and live in the country. Extra points if they do it on their small holding where their staff do everything for them. I'm looking at you, Marcus Wareing

Dunno how they can bring themselves to read the news with such a fashion catastrophe

Dress codes in general need to be binned for me. A suit does not automatically make a person look smart, neither does a collar but some places seem to be stuck in the 60’s and insist on people wearing them to be allowed in. Yes I’m looking at you York races but even worse is Thirsk races on a random Tuesday afternoon when a T-shirt and a plain jumper is not acceptable but an old washed out polo with holes in is deemed as smart.

Usually some bloke in his 50's declaring he's "still a 34 waist" despite the fact his trousers are hauled in with a plastic belt balanced just above his pubic bone obscured by a gut spilling over the top. His shirt buttons are performing miracles desperately pulling at the pressure either side with a lank, greasy tie lying across the top of his kite. This will invariably be loose, top button unable to fasten as his jowls dangle either side of the collar. He'll announce he "hates" jeans & t-shirts & young people just don't know how to look smart...

It's not been the same since they abandoned bow ties.
