Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[kernow]

Scuse me mate, have you got 40p ?

Why is it always 40p? My friends and I have a theory where you only need to ask four people and you're near a bottle of cider or something, whereas 20p would take ages.

I even had one guy standing next to me in the beer aisle at sainsburys and he turned to me and asked if I had 40p I could give him, I said no bluntly and he skulked off.

He knew I had 40p, I was looking at beer to purchase for my enjoyment that night

But yes, even had people get aggressive when you say no to giving them money, on more than one occassion. Gits.


Smoking is so 1996 though, makes me chuckle when I still see people doing it nowadays, keep holding on to that vibe guys!

[Family Fry]

Yeah people who just walk up, bold as brass 'got any spare change?' Get in line mate!
I had the toothless begger last night he spots me with a spar bag, crosses over the road to ask...
"you aint got any spare change for a hot drink?" Now I know (FACT) his toothless face had been done for aggressive begging particularly women with shopping at bus stops, anyways I plainly tell him the truth.
"Naw mate" to which he replies "aww f*** off you c**t" whilst walking away, charming.
Hope he OD's on his hot drink.

I only get asked for money when I go up north, or down south. Happened to me in Portsmouth, Leicester and Birmingham. Not once in my local town, various towns surrounding or London..

I usually give them it as I value my life more than 50p or whatever.

[Neon Ignition]

Half of the peeps who beg around Manchester aren't even homeless, they're just dirty gits. Numerous times I've seen the police caution repeat offenders for trying to milk people rather than get a job.

I'm also going to add the Irks:

-Smelly Commuters: It's more a 2010 thing but I'm beginning to think most bus passengers have taken to either showering in garlic or using turds as a loofah. Nearly every day the random stranger who gets the seat beside me stinks which is bad at any time but especially as early as 6am. Seriously, use some soap!

Very minor one now but...

-Next Gen Consoles: They're not next-gen, their this gen! I'll admit to slipping into using this on occasion myself as I think it seeps into the brain as it's seen used so commonly and I think the Wii being around has fuelled it. It may be an inaccurate way of naming but I wish we could just refer to the PS3 and 360 as 256bit Gen. Everything was easier when it was in bits

I can't describe this irk so I drew it:

Nice skills
I know exactly what you mean- gets on my tits too that one.

And the spare change ****. When I lived in Manc the number of tw4ts trying it on with the worst, most practised 'scripts', for want of a better word, to get money off you was ridiculous.

Used to happen a lot in Liverpool too, but weirdly seems to have diminshed a bit lately. "Eh mate, I've just got out of prison and I need 14 and a half p to get back to Bootle".

[abigsmurf]

Had it happen once in London 5 or 6 years ago, thought he was BS-ing until he showed me the bracelet around his ankle. I did actually give him some money in the end as we ended up having a long conversation about Chelsea.

Annoying thing about commuting in London was the immigrant women with babies walking down the tube trains asking for change. Remember reading that a lot of the people that do this actually drug the babies so they'll stay quiet on the noisy tube. Quite often though you'd get conductors doing announcements saying not to give money to them when they know it's going on.

In Bath: "In not going to mug you or anything, but have you got 50p?" lol. No, but I bet if I follow you, you'll go back to your car and drive back to your house.

[Bort]

I can't describe this irk so I drew it:

QFT.

And to add to that. When queueing for a self checkout and leaving a gap so people can actually pass and some gormless twat waddling in (usually with a trolley).

[Decider-VT]

Elderly Aboriginal woman in Sydney: "You got 20 cents?"
Me: "No."
Woman: "Ah, ye white c**t!"
Me:

[QualityChimp]

I can't describe this irk so I drew it:

Hmmm... every so often, QualityChimp sees red and speaks up without thinking.

Everybody moans about stuff, but we never really confront people about it, just tut and mumble under our breath.

Well, the above scenario happened to me in Asda when I'd been queueing for ages for a self-serve till only to have some yoof girl and her cronies push to the front of the queue and try to get to a newly freed till but the person at the front of the queue got there first.

I thought she might have missed the queue and politely informed her where it was.

"I know, I'm not blind!" She said.
"Ooooh, she blazed him, man!" a cretinous cohort exclaimed

weeeoooooweeeeooo *red rrrraaage*

"So you're not blind, you're just ignorant" was my pithy retort.

My hands were shaking with adrenaline and rage!
----------------------------------------------
...another time, we were queueing for Alton Towers' new ride, Th13rteen, and was impressed that there was no graffiti on the fences as we walked to join the end of the line.

As we first stopped, the oik behind me got his pen out and started writing on the fence only a few weeks old...

weeeoooooweeeeooo *red rrrraaage*

I tapped him on the shoulder and said "Do you have to write all over that?"

He replied, rubbing his shoulder, "there's no need to poke me so hard"

Then we had to spend about an hour in the queue with these trolls trying to intimidate us. They failed, but I was heartbroken to see when we moved about 10 metres down the queue that every spare centimetre of fence had some graffiti on it...

[BeyondJumpFish]

This is one of the reasons I keep my mouth shut when people push in, because deep inside me is a rage fueled demon who will just snap one day and pound they're skull into the floor!

Get this all of the time in my area. Last time I looked at the twat who asked and said, 'I dunno, do you ever have any 'spare' change?'.

He literally had no idea how to respond and walked off.

[kernow]

Years ago when I was about 15 and paying in a wad of birthday money to the bank I just pulled out a load of cash and said sorry, I only have notes

cough. Bet that went down well.

[nakamura]

haha! Makes me think, I have some fake 20s in the shop so perhaps I should flash them in front of the annoying tramps.
