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

[garrz32]

Another irk: Why is it that when you sit down to watch a film with a lady they just cannot sit there throughout it. Its like they get bored or have to feel like theyre doing something.

Agreed...or when you want to watch something and they don't ,they start up a conversation....

Grrrr thats a pain in the sphincter too, & you just know that if you say something, even if you say it in a calm manner, they'll still kick up a strop!!

Having just driven over 400 miles from my house in Scotland to my place in London, i wouldn't even know where to begin on the amount of things that have irked me today.

Err, would it involve snow or the weather by any chance?

1. People at work who always start off by saying "When you get a moment could you do ...... for this important person because its terribly urgent etc etc". Then you don't want me to do it when I get a moment, you want me to drop what I'm already doing and do it straight away!!! Pillock.

2. Someone who doesn't know me well, sees me drinking alcohol then says "you shouldnt be drinking that, surely its against islam?" - for god's sake pal, just because I'm brown don't mean I'm muslim, let alone religious? (as long as the police don't think like this, I'm alright :P)

[prinnysquad]

The cats. Pissing and ****ting where they shouldn't.

The missus. Falling asleep on the sofa then waking up and just sodding off upstairs to leave me to lock up. Every single night. Doors, windows, electrics, gas, various animals fed and watered. Moans if I don't follow up afterwards. Moans if I watch the tv in bed, even on silent.

I'm in a bad mood

Got refused alcohol today in sainsburys again. I swear I had less trouble buying booze when I was 17, compared to now at 31.

It was busy so I went to the till with the lowest amount of customers, but the girl was 17 so she has to verify with someone before selling. Being over-cautious she asked if I had any ID and I didn't hear her correctly so I said 'pardon'? 'have you got any ID?'

'I'm 32 this year'
'yeah well sorry ba ba ba'
*instant rage*
older worker she was going to verify with comes along and I tell her the same and she looked me up and down and said 'well I think you're borderline 25'
I roll my eyes and think , well thats bloody over 18 isn't it you .. FUUU

anyway once again, didn't get served, I swear this 25 or prove it scheme is just ridiculous. The only form of ID I have is my passport and I'm not carrying that with me every time.

^Funnily enough, I actually didn't get ID'ed in the supermarket the other day, for the first time ever. I always get my passport out automatically too because I just assume they'll ask for it. What was the difference the other day? Simply didn't have a shave that day -_-

[kernow]

I hadn't had a shave today and I was going to but I thought in advance that it might affect my chances of buying booze, should have just took my ID. sigh.

I honestly can't believe I'm almost 32 and have more problems buying alcohol than I did when I was basically half my age.

[Darwock]

So what, the government says the legal age for alcohol in the UK is 18 but the supermarkets have taken the law unto themselves and made it 25? WTF!

[JazzFunk]

^What's weird is, every non-old man pub/club in the centre of Leeds doesn't mind selling 16-yr. old girls drink. In fact, 16-yr. old girls have been buying drink freely from bars since I first started going out to pubs properly, and that was in 1992.

@Kernow, I hope you feel the flattery in your denied attempt to buy booze. Two more years, you might miss that. Love it while you can! (Mine ran out last year, and I miss people asking now, my hair is 15% grey unless I have it skinned... )

[sj33]

@Darwork - Essentially. They near-universally have a 'Challenge 25' scheme where they check anyone who looks under 25, basically because they don't want to be caught out by the increasingly-strict government enforcement. It's a complete farce that places the blame on the wrong people and looks for easy solutions to more complicated problems. People defend it because they buy into the 'underage binge drinking' non-problem (rowdy drinkers are of all ages), but essentially anyone of most ages could be ID'ed at some point.

I don't tend to get ID'ed in pubs, it's happened about 3 times ever.

[kernow]

yeah never happens to me in pubs. It used to be 21 or prove it but its gone up to 25 recently (not sure when). Soon it'll be prove 40 I imagine. Stupid UK.

Thing is, you can't even really complain because it's a GOOD thing that they are militant about it! I treat it as a compliment.

The solution though mate, would be to carry your picture driving licence or some other ID in the wallet you are paying with!

[eastyy]

people who say "mind your head" after you have whacked it on something

last person who did that....i then slapped them on the head and then said "duck"

Yeah just make sure u got some kind of ID on you mate.


About 2 yrs ago I was buying some steak knives in Wilko. The woman at the till looked me up n down a few times before allowing me to buy them, & even then she was looking into my eyes, to look for any panic I guess. I was 32 btw.

Then last yr I went to a car shop & bought some cans of spray paint for a little project I was working on (not an illegal proj btw). The guy looked at me, then said "so youre using it for your course work?".
I said "yes", which was kinda true.
He said "yeah we get a lot of students in here buying paint for college work"

LOL!
