Women ageing. I wish they'd stop doing it. So annoying.

This reminds me of something I find very annoying.
I'll watch an old film on Youtube (try "Some Girls Do" from 1969) which has lots of beautiful women.
Then I'll read the comments where, 95% of people gush about how gorgeous the women were back then.
But then there's always some wacko that has to ruin the mood by entering a comment like "She's 85 now".

Yeah, weird that. I used to really have a thing for Joan Fontaine, mainly based on her Hitchcock films.

Am I not allowed to fancy her for what she was back then? Plenty of old movie stars who I used to fancy the pants off.

People will always says 'she's dead' or 'she's 78 now you know'.

being asked 'would you like a VAT receipt' when paying for petrol. Why can't my 'normal' receipt also include the VAT, like any other receipt for any other product? Why is the VAT not already on there, and why should there be an extra VAT receipt for someone that requires it? Perhaps someone can explain, but until then, its a 'thing that annoys me'.

Just has more detail on it doesn't it? For those who need to claim against their companies for expenses etc.

Again, people who really seem to care about their job title and use it as much as they can in conversation.

"Senior Design Lead"

So, you have been there a bit longer than the others and do design?

yes, but that's my point .A receipt for all other items you might buy already has VAT shown and itemised on it. Receipts for petrol don't - the VAT appears on a separate receipt. Why not put the VAT on the 'normal' receipt - the same as for all other products?

Websites that don't mention that it is womens football that they are talking about when showing a mini-headline for a game . e.g. Football news, match reports and fixtures | The Guardian currently (Friday 21 Sep) shows 'Everton 0 - 4 Man City'. It's not Everton 0-4 Man City, its Everton women losing to Man City women,. If it was an under 21 match then the 'U21' bit would be included it would say 'Everton U21 0 -4 Man City U21'

Those Youtube do-it-yourself videos where someone claims you can change your kitchen plumbing in 30 minutes.
Then in the comments people try to outdo each other by saying, "It only took me 15 minutes".
From bitter experience, I can tell you one corroded screw can hold you up for a couple of hours or a couple of days.

Equally annoying is when they show results with the heading "Women's Football Results", then they list the results and every team has the word 'women' after it.

Tbf it doesn’t say ‘Manchester City men 4-0 against Everton men’ it needs to go both ways

When a tradesman arranges to come out to have a look and quote, money ready to give him for a deposit and they don't turn up. No phone call or anything, their phones just saying they are closed.

Rushed home especially.

They should put Pogba and Mourinho in a boxing ring and make it pay-per-view. Would make a fortune.

Called three companies (all five stars out of five rated) to give me an estimate to fix my roof. A very lucrative and fairly easy job.
Only one company showed up and they got the work.
I'll never call the other two companies again and left them both a negative online review.

Trades people in Britain are invariably unreliable. Disgusting behaviour to not turn up to an appointment, their good times won't last with that behaviour.

Got one booked for this afternoon.

I wouldn't mind, the money is there waiting to go ahead with it but it's a struggle finding somebody decent.

Just a front door and a couple of windows, nothing too fancy. Easy couple of hours work for somebody.

Dont mind paying somebody for their time and hassle, but when somebody wants to double the cost price of a door before they even charge fitting they can piss off.
