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

At Morrisons and a woman has just parked in a parent & toddler space. Her 11-year-old daughter gets out and is taller than her mother!

When asked "She's not really a toddler, is she?", the woman answers "Yeah, I know." and walks off.

Cretin.

And she blocked you from parking in the disabled space too

What gets me with car parks is when someone abandons their car on the end just to pop in to the shop quickly or when someone with a nicer car does the parking in 2 spaces thing. Grrrrr.

You know those times when you're woken from sleep by the sound of dust and debris falling gently, followed by that of a large, wooden object being caught just short of falling over, probably by a single screw holding it back?

And then you fall back asleep, convincing yourself that you were probably dreaming about being stuck in that cave with Graham Norton again?

But then you wake up in the morning to find that the sounds you heard were real, and were your floor-to-ceiling wardrobe coming away from the wall in the night, and that it would've taken out your shelves, telly, PC and PS3 in one fell swoop were it not for that single screw?

No?

Just me, then.

Nothing like a bit of DIY on a Saturday afternoon

I liked the English Patient. Very confusing and very, very boring, but it was my kind of film!

Saw someone pulling left out of a garage vvveeeerrrrryyyyy slowly. How odd. I can see his feeble ancient hands desperately clawing at the wheel in an attempt to just turn on to the road and drive off. He failed, so now I've got someone turning right towards me (I'm going in the opposite direction on the other side of the road). Luckily I had already slowed down thinking something was up. I felt like leaping out and telling him to sell his car and get taxis, but would have probably just been run over by him as he slewed his boat-like car around in the road.

Every Petrol Station I went to had a giant giant queue yesterday, I was running on fumes and couldn't be arsed to wait.

How come everyone was rushing out to buy fuel the day the fuel had gone up?!

[kryss]

They have to buy it to earn the right to complain about it. It's like wives and marriage see

[EvilBoris]

Don't get me started on that, I got fed up of hearing misogynistic jokes about my friend getting married, by every man involved with his wedding.

[randombs]

It's not their fault, it's all these bloody women etc etc


There was a knock at the door and my little bro came running up the stairs. When I asked why he hasn't opened the door, he said "I dunno who it is, I ain't opening the door!". He's just turned 16 so I saw fit to call him a twat and went to open the door. It was my parents, they'd left the key. Twat. Next time he knocks I'm gonna stay upstairs and not open it cos "I dunno who it is".

Having my first night at home in ages and having no motivation to play anything.

The fact that there isn't a single product on the market in the way of an underarm holster for ipad/kindle style devices. Those things will not fit in any pocket, unless you're a freaking clown. I'm a man. I don't carry a purse. Or a 'man bag'. I'm not wearing a sodding backpack for ONE device, besides which, I'm not 12 anymore. I want a simple case that can be held in place around the area an inside pocket would be. Is that so very hard?

Last two weekends in a row our newish neighbours above have been excessively noisey. Last saturday it was music past 2 am and this weekend it is slightly quieter music but stomping around and slamming doors. I did politely ask them to keep it down last week but it seems to have had little effect.
Just had 6 months of **** with a moth problem from my old flat, could use a break in this one.

Apartment further down the hall using an extension cord and stealing electricity from the building. Can't decide if it's the principle that irks me or that I haven't done that already. Felt like "accidentally" tripping on it and pulling it out.

My current irk - people who can't walk past my house without staring in! Seriously, what are they even looking at? I can't say I ever feel the need to look into people's living rooms while I'm walking down the street, yet I would say at least 1/3 of the people that walk past my house can't do so without peering in

[averybluemonkey]

You should put up net curtains then, why should people have to stare rigidly ahead of them and not look around when walking?
