Estate agents not being open evening or weekends. If you want to view somewhere you have to take time off work. Are they only selling houses to the unemployed? Really does my nut in.
Set Jeremy Hunt on them! B-)

cellophane wrapping on new records. How do you get it off without scratching the album cover?
People trying to talk to you when you've waited all fucking day to listen to the new Jesus and Mary chain album. I wouldnt mind but they dont want to talk to me at all unless I put my headphones on.

Pubic hairs.

Now, how the fuck do you remove all of them in the bathroom? It seems whatever I try when cleaning, some re-appear and just move wth gay abandon around the place as I wash and wipe. How do they get places so clean on Four in a Bed, and other daytime trash TV?

I could flood the building, and when the waters subsided, it'd be the pubic hairs clinging to a surface, reluctant to move.

Tell the missus the 70's has been and gone ;)

Three or is it four years ago now I bought the new OMD album English Electric, tightly sealed but the sleeve is die-cut and half of it came away with the wrapping. Ooh, I could have crushed a grape.

Fridge freezers that pack up the day after you've filled it with shopping. Needless to say I hadn't noticed until everything had gone manky.

Stray cats too, got one at the moment that comes in when I'm at work and it smells like a rotting carcass. I've set an RSPCA trap for it but it's not daft enough to fall for it.

Twice in the last week, a woodpecker has landed on the tree outside my bedroom window and begun pecking.
Makes an incredible noise; you would swear it's a power tool.
Happens between 6-7am. I like birds but it's very annoying.

We had a few friends round last week, my wife's friend turned up with her new fella and her 2 kids
They brought 4 cans of some lager from Aldi called Galahad or something I've left it in the shed

Bastards, she got through a bottle of wine on her own and he drank the good stuff

Stingey bastards. Have it out next time they come ;)

People who are too money orientated do my head in. Always have to tell you what things cost and make a point of it, the same as their first questions are always "how much was that".

even though you don't ask what something cost, they will soon tell you.

On a similar note people who plead poverty. Nah, can't afford it, things are a bit tight at the minute etc.
You never see them without food, drink, latest iPhone, bling, nails done (women), hair products dripping off them, fake tan. You get the picture. Stop frittering money then you plank.

I once took my son to a football tournament over a few days at a seaside caravan park, south coast. Before we went some parents moaned about not being able to afford 2 nights caravan, at what was a knockdown price. When we got there they spent about £40 each in the bar each night and about £40 each on junk food throughout the day.
Our kids had sandwiches we made plus fruit and a squash throughout the actual football games. Their kids had non-stop crisps, buns, pop, takeaway food. You are not poor, you are dumbasses.

Ha I know exactly what you mean. I know somebody like that with football, he moans at a tenner a ticket too but will happily have 4 pints, food, chocolate and then loses money in the casino after.

When you bump into somebody from school or something who is now a crack head and it is awkward. The conversation usually consists of "how shit it is round here" and how "theres nothing to do any more".

Yeah, that reminds me, their kids were on the games and fruit machines all night shovelling in pound coins!

People who buy things, but then have to take a picture of themselves with said thing and feel the need to show it to the place they bought it off / the brand.

Little flies in plants. Get a new house plant and it invariably has these little bastard flies that are a pain to get rid of.

People who dig your road up to do gas works, but leave your gas switched off because not everybody does half day on a Friday so people aren't home to let them in to check your boiler over.

Cunts. Good job it's not that cold tonight as well.

Tesco DVD's. They don't have that time-saving strip of red plastic that prevents you from having to chew the fucking wrapper off and nearly chip a tooth in the process.

How about the friend who insists on telling you that whatever you just bought he got it cheaper somewhere else?

Maybe it's because my pay scales are public knowledge, but I've never seen the issue with talking about pay. Always strikes me that people must be embarrassed about what they earn if they get that funny about it.
I did have one job where they wrote into the contract it was a disciplinary offence if I told anyone my salary.

They pretended it was because they were paying me more than my peers, I suspected rather the opposite!

Guess who was right...

When I joined Jaguar in 1984, a guy from Ford joined at the same time. We were both offered good salaries and an annual bonus. As was normal then, the guys didn't really talk between themselves about their salary, but, the union rep always knew what everyone earned. When the rep learned the 2 "new guys" salaries (higher than everyone else's in the dept) he orchestrated a "blackballing" of us 2, where nobody would assist us in our roles, give info out etc. which was necessary for us to do our jobs.
It lasted a couple of weeks, then management increased the salaries of the rest of the team... We were then extremely popular..!! :emoji_joy:

i see it the other way, people generally who talk about pay and clearly not content with their earnings...

Family get togethers. One of them has convinced himself Elvis is still alive and has even had a fully blown arguement regarding it. Another two have dropped on hints about them committing suicide and another has sat there farting non stop for two hours. This makes league of gentlemen look normal...
