Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

OUT OF HOURS BULLY'S TRUCKSTOP BAR (INTERACTIVE)
301

Muckaway:
Those commemorative plate offers in crap magazines with the declaration that goes like this…
“YES! Please send me my Portion of Jethro commemorative plate by renowned Cornish artist Denzil Pembworthy. I understand I’m buying on the impulse it will be a valuable family heirloom which I will place on the sideboard next to the Michael Parkinson life insurance enquiry pen and the Ronnie Corbett food hamper. I understand that when I am deceased my executors will have the option of throwing my Portion Of Jethro plate in the bin or donating it to a local charity shop. I know I need send no money now so enclose a cheque for £257.27 plus £10 p&p. I have the option to request next day delivery in case I die this week for an additional £47 and I also fully accept that by reading this statement I have probably ■■■■■■ myself and missed Last of the Summer Wine.”

Do I take it you don’t own the Eddie Stobart FH with fridge trailer, or the new MB pocket watch?

Correct. I also hate those monthly “build your own Flying Scotsman” type things.

303

Following on from Bazza, what about truck mags that print way too technica/fictional driver comments on truck tests?
“Jim drives the Scania P410 8wheeler in our test…”
“I really like the extended torque range of this over my old 360,” Jim said. “The fixed geometry turbo really blah blah blah waffle waffle.”
No truck driver talks like that when asked about his motor so why do they print such waffle ■■■■■■■■?
Tell the truth, “I like this Scania 'cos it’s a Scania and has some swirly bird picture on the side windows and says 410bhp on a the side of the cab.”

304

Joggers who jog when it’s raining and cold alongside a busy main road :unamused: Very healthy

That Audible Amazon advert that’s forever on here, with the tentacles coming out of it has just started to get annoying

305

Anything to do with menstruation.

Sorry. I know it’s natural apparently. Just wrong.

306

Are you a jogger who works for Amazon?

Or are you Dr Fox?

307

Parents evenings.
Waiting your turn whilst watching Patricia’s parents gush at what such a good pupil she is and excellent in class.

Then taking my lad in and hearing how he is a bit unruly, disruptive and not at all like Patricia, when I know for a fact he has had a go on Patricia.

Chip off the old block Dave ? :astonished: :astonished:

“If it ain’t raining, it ain’t training…!” :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Or, because Scania would be very “pleased” if Jim spoke nicely about there new product :stuck_out_tongue:

Those Flying Scotsman ads you mention, nice models, except when you work out the total price they mostly come out to something like £600 when complete :unamused: :laughing:

311

Making a cup of tea and the teabag bursts as soon as you put a spoon near it.

Forgetting the above happened when you get to the last gulp at the bottom of the cup and ending up with a mouthful of tea laves

312

When the wife has the telly button :open_mouth:

When the wife has the telly button :open_mouth:

You would be permanently annoyed if you lived with my other half she refuses to sit down until the remote is in her hand, wouldn’t be a problem except she stands in front of the tv until she gets it (the remote that is)

314

Truck magazines that show lorries with every single light on, headlights, fog lights , bells and whistles on a photo shoot that is done in day light.
The driver saying he takes pride in his bosses vehicle and has spent £ 10,000 on bling, from leather dash boards, and furry dice to dream catchers .
How annoying when you eat some biscuits or a sandwich in your cab and you try not drop any crumbs, how is it crumbs can appear days later a long way from where you ate the food .
Why so many places in a cab where you can lose bank cards or a mobile phone, the small gap in front of the windscreen and behind the bottom bunk, if you drop something down that small gap, it is gone forever .
If you go on holiday and empty the cab to prevent the limp brigade nicking or looking at your stuff, why does the removal need several wheel barrows to transfer it to your car and take hours to do it, when driving home, you think the police will pull you over for vagrancy or just robbed a house ?
Why do some drivers not take pride in their appearance, they have a weeks worth of food and drink stains on their shirt, i know he ate runny eggs on monday, tomato ketchup on tuesday, chicken soup on wednesday ?
It takes a 90 degree wash to remove oil and grease on a dirty hiviz jacket, the ones i see are not hiviz, just black, like a coal miner .

Anyone kicking off and complaining that Dominos and pizza hut had the wrong fat content advertised. Its a pizza ffs. No one ever ate one thinking it counted as healthy eating. Stop latching onto any half arsed excuse to make yourself feel better for deviating from your weight watchers plan.

Everyone who is moaning that one of the materials used to make munchy box containers “MIGHT” be linked to cancer. If your eating a munchy box, I dont think taking the moral high ground about your health being at risk is really a good argument!

People who take buggies into supermarkets on a saturday afternoon when it mega busy then treat everyone else like its THEM who is in the way and causing a nusiance

Handing over a £20 for stuff that comes to £10.50 and the assistant says to you “Do you have the 50p”. Yes. Yes I do. I just feel like breaking a £20 note because getting a whole load of change back to weigh my pockets down is a much more appealing idea to me than having a £20 note in my pocket. :unamused:

Having to ask for tomato sauce in a restaurant. Put it on the ■■■■■■■ table for people to use. By the time they ask “Do you want any sauce?” and go get it, my chips are cold. Its tomato sauce. Its not an endangered commodity

The above when they dont even bring a bottle, they put it in a little dish meaning you have to ration it.

Gift vouchers that you can be used in any branch of a particular shop. A much better gift than a silly £20 that can only be used in any shop in Britain

Remembering 5 minutes after the only shop within walking distance has closed that you need milk.

Getting to the cash machine to see it is “temporarily out of order”

Standing in a queue at, say, McDonalds and the family in front of you wait till it is their turn to be served before deciding to find out what everyone wants.

Asking for a cheeseburger without gherkins to be told “It’ll be about 20 minutes”. No it wont. You are making burgers at the moment so when you make the next one, just dont put gherkins in it.

Asking for chips in a chip shop and they say “We are just waiting on chips”. Your a chip shop. Shouldnt chips be something you always have ready?

The fact that prisoners in jail get gyms, pool tables, tvs, ensuite facilities, dvd players, 24hr medical treatment, their own social worker, 3 square meals a day, only have to work if they want to, education programmes etc and if they get told no for anything they will get legal aid to sue and get what they want yet people in care homes get poor quality food, a shower twice a week and shut in their rooms for 10pm

Any of the celebrities who whinged and moaned about apples free downloads saying “People should not be allowed to get free downloads, even temporarily” yet will keep all the free, high end stuff they get sent from companies.

Boy racers with an exhaust the width of a giraffes neck stuck on the back of a Corsa!! :open_mouth:

She has her own telly upstairs to be fair m8, i just hate when she has the button as i know she is enjoying herself :grimacing:

The idea that people from Oxfordshire actually like or take interest in the boat race.

Also the boy racers who think everyone else wants to hear their Ministry of sound album at full volume, through a sound system that probably cost more than the car, as they drive down the street trying to impress the 15 year old girls.
