Happy Days Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:22 am
First topic message reminder :
I am hurtling headlong into middle age and I am getting more and more annoyed (usually expressed by rolling my eyes and tutting) at the nonsense I see around me every day of the week. I'm not a grumpy old man exactly, I don't let it affect my mood too much or anything but there is just so much nowadays to get you peeved.
So I am starting this thread is for any like minded misery guts to get thing orf of their chests.
1. Mach 3 razor blades. Why are they so pissing expensive. In reverse order the three most expensive things known to man are 3. Gold 2. Printer ink 1. Mach 3 blades.

People when I was working who called me by my first name straight away but wanted me to call them Mr.
Cold callers who ring for weeks even though you steadfastly refuse to answer the phone when you see it's withheld or 0800.
Bank executives.
The Top Gear crew - smug, self satisfied bunch of wankers.
oooh that's a good one. I was in a shop in Roath a few months ago and someone walked in chatting loudly on their phone, walked up to the till and put their stuff on the counter, didn't acknowledge the shop assistant at all and just continued blabbing away on the phone. The shop assistant ignored him back and served me instead

There are various much more worthless candidates for this category - Shameless was great for about four seasons, then went rapidly up its own arse. Friends went on and on and on and on and on far too long, and of course Downton Abbey should have been strangled at birth.

Have you seen the price of the Fusion Proglide Power blades? It's like buying Californium 252 in your local supermarket.

Drivers who don't indicate when on a roundabout or turning corners.
People telling the world they love their wife on facebook, as if they are trying to convince themselves that they are still happy. If you're sat next to your missus, tell her love her. I don't really need to know.
My mum saying 'Briddish' instead of British and my old man calling Wimbledon 'Wimpleton'.
God, I could go on for hours with this!!

Please do!
Similarly to your facebook quibble, people who say 'happy birthday to my 4 year old daughter/86 year old nan' - THEY ARE NOT ON FACEBOOK, THEY CANT SEE THIS, GO AND WISH THEM HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THEIR FACE, WE DONT CARE
And people continuously putting pictures of their dog on facebook 'aww look at Harvey looking at the TV' 'aww cwtching with Harvey in front of the TV' 'Harvey in the snow' 'Harvey in the mud' 'HARVEY RIDING A FUCKING BIKE'
Oh and dogs, people treating their dogs like little people rather than pets. And giving them human names. AND A DOG REPLACING YOU AS YOUR BEST MATES BEST MATE!!!!

My Mum has a similar affliction, e.g. tiAramisu, diabetUs.
I've tried to re-educate her to no avail.

People in supermarkets leaving their trolleys parked sideways in the aisle.
Another of my fathers favourites is calling Sam Hammam, 'Sam The man'.
Winds me up a treat
My boss leaving the office door open when he goes for a wander when he is on the phone. Its minus 4 outside.

Cyclists on the pavement when you're a pedestrian.
Groups of cyclists 2 abrest going 20mph when you're stuck behind them in the car in a 30+mph zone.

Even worse on Llantrisant Road on a 50 mph area.
