Things that annoy you (9 Viewers)

[Terry Gibson's perm]

People who drive vehicles that are too big for their driving ability and some can hardly see over the wheel, you should have to have a test before you can buy a Range Rover.

Yep and they're usually dressed like they're delivering a box of Milk Tray

People occupying your seat on a train.

Would say at least 9 times out of 10, over a period of many years, I have reserved seats only to find someone occupying them.

You get the odd 'Sorry,' but like today, going to Manchester, people give you the usual look of 'how annoying' when you politely ask them to move.

Trains back from London and Manchester and Liverpool etc . are fine because it is the initial departure point and our seats are vacant anyway, but anytime we catch a train that is mid journey you can be damn sure someone is sitting in our seat.

Today the display quite clearly said reserved from Coventry to Manchester, yet there , not at all to our surprise were two people in our seats.

These people always know what they are doing and just chance their arm. As soon as you mention it they know straight away and don't ever do the 'oh sorry, are they?' response to the 'these are our seats ' statement.

It's always a look of how dare you, or annoyance at having to gather up their things and sit elsewhere.

As I am a humble guy I hate to ask people to move, but I do always do it on principle.

Bloody annoying and half the time these people have all they stuff splayed out across the table like they own it. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!

Coming back from the NEC last Friday, asked a woman to move her bag so my wife could sit down. She said "is the seat reserved?" I said "not for your bag it's not.." She shot me a dirty look, but moved the bag.

Be grateful they're on the road, they all ride on the pavement around here.

Last Saturday I was cut up from behind three times by cyclists on the same short stretch of the Holyhead Road.

I'm guessing the secondary seat was occupied by a laptop or a bag.

Nice one!

 

[skybluesam66]

to be fair half of reserved seats, people dont turn up, or sit elsewhere, so no problem with people sitting in them, so long as they immediately removed when challenged

I had an embarrasing gaffe though once, when i was having a big row trying to get somebody to move, but when the train manager (guard - that's from another thread) came by, he pointed out that i was on the wrong train, going in the wrong direction

 

[smouch1975]

To be fair the new advertising, both the size and frequency here on tap a talk are most fucking annoying.

Nick you tight arse. Buy a server

Amazon are worse mind you. This pops up everywhere.

Don't ask how it started, but now it's a self-fulfilling prophecy and is advertised to me everywhere I bloody go on the web!

Trick or Treating.

Basically glorified begging.

I'm getting older and I constantly get junk mail about cremation services, hearing aids and urging me to make my 'final arrangements'.

Yeah kids should be bobbing for apples and making effigies of Guy Fawkes to burn at this time of year, I remember many years ago walking past the Hastings pub on Clay lane, two lads were outside with a guy in a wheelbarrow, "penny for the guy" they asked as I passed, i was unemployed at the time and didn't have two pennies to rub together. Sorry lads I said but I haven't got a bean and walked on, I went about 20 yards and heard a shout "you tight c##t", that's Cov for you.

 

[Monners]

At the moment - trick or treat. I will vomit on the next kid that knocks on the door - oh, here we go!...

Where do you live, Monners, cos my kid's just come home covered in sick.

 

[skybluedan]

No being able to tug as much as I used to (or indeed want to)

What's the problem like , your hand or your cock? If it's your hand then simple just fuck a random tight spot ie the sofa in between the cushions , and if it's your cock sorry can't help ya I'm not a doctor
And by the way just for the record I am not a doctor, never said I was a doctor and do not have a license to practice

 

[Monners]

Not guilty Otis, unless you live in Kingsthorpe in Northampton - but my neighbour is less than impressed. Hoped he would see the funny side.

 

[oakey]

On the theme of Halloween, I get why kids might like it but adults dressing up with their kids and showing off photos at work of themselves at some weirdo event and excitedly discussing their costume in great detail... and that's 40 year old blokes . Wtf?

 

[Nick]

Why are kids dressed as Batman for Halloween?

 

[Nick]

Teenagers who put their.coat over their head, and get their mate in a headlock I and think it's fancy dress.

Do one.

 

[Nick]

Just had somebody try the door now! Cheeky twats

Groups of lads that refer to their mates as "the squad" or "squad goals".

You're not playing in the up coming World Cup qualifiers you're on a night out down the Skydome!!

I had to read that a couple of times

There was a mother taking her kids around our estate last night who had a tremendous low cut top on and didn't knock on our door well pissed me off.

Bloke by me at the game who insisted on calling everybody by their initials.

"Do you know JC?"

"Come on JJ"

Smashing Yellow stone built properties round there if I'm not mistaken.

In Kingsthorpe Village itself yes Wingy (great real ale pub too). I live in a part of the urban growth that swallowed it up. Still has plenty of character though
