Really minor annoyances

Anyway, this one is people who put their f***ing feet on seats on public transport and parents who allow their little darlings to stand on the seats with their filthy dog-shit-and-who-knows-what-else covered shoes on.

Last time I was on a bus in the NE, you could raise the seats at the back (the ones facing the back seat) so you could put your feet up without putting them on the material.

Great solution, shame no one used it

Cant remember the last time I actually went in one. But they do a decent coffee at a reasonable price if I just need a drink on a long drive.

Haven't eaten one of their burgers in years.

People who don’t get SMB in jokes

It is simple.

Left lane is for nobody at all, in case it turns in to a slip road later, or the slowest of the lorries.
Lane 2 is for other lorries
Lane 3 is for people cruising at 60 regardless of what is in lane 1 and 2.
Lane 4 is for everyone else

The only difference between a 3 and 4 lane motorway is the number of lanes for lorries, surely?

How else would those stuck at 55-60 effectively reduce a motorway down to 1 lane?

Outside lane 70, the limit. Then reduce by 5mph each lane to the inside lane. Might help people understand better rather than sticking to one middle lane regardless. Too many people have a huge gap on their left and just stay where they are so obviously they don’t get it. So change the rules to give speeds per lane. 3 lanes, 60, 65, 70. 4 lanes, 55, 60, 65, 70. Traffic in each lane all then moving at their preferred speed.
 
This time of year when the collective membership of the SMB seems to hand in their balls en masse in a desperate and risible attempt to win the contest of who cried the most when watching ‘Its A wonderful Life’.

It’s an enjoyable Christmas film but it’s only a film. You already know the ending which is happy. But just like clockwork in comes the annual bollocks of:
“gets me every time”
“got dust in me eyes”
“someone’s chopping onions”
“always blub at the end”

Ad nauseum. Grow a pair you bunch of poofs. No wonder we lost the empire. If I’d had overly emotional softies like that stood next to me at Dunkirk on D Day we’d all be speaking French by now.

If you’re doing 70 in the outside lane of a motorway you are holding people up.
 
When you’re giving details to someone on the phone, or in person, and they say, “Perfect” after every detail.
First name - ‘Germany’ reply “Perfect”. Surname - ‘Jim’ reply “Perfect”.
Phone number - ‘12345678’ reply “Perfect”.😠
 
BA.
Got a flight from Ponteland to London with them in January, to join my flights to get to Iraq.
BA flight allowance 23kg
But Turkish Airlines 40kg..

They want £65 for an extra bag!!

I can’t say 75 or 80 as the law says 70. You can’t legally drive over 70.

I tootle along at 80, which in reality is 70-75. I don’t expect a knock at the door for saying that.

What I do though is keep a reasonable distance from the car in front, don’t use my phone, undertake or take risks. There are far more dangerous things than speeding, unless it’s ridiculous speeding.
