Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

People who are too dim to realise that a knighthood means you get to put “Sir” in front of your name…

Yep and it’s always men in TT’s who are taking themselves so seriously in what is a hairdressers car as you say.

Women who are trying to reverse a 4x4 in a supermarket car park. Why own such a car if you can’t manoeuvre it? To look good at the school gates probably.

People who brake sharply at roundabouts when nothing is coming.

TV ads for (well everything really) with some folksy/instrumental music jingle in the background. Yogurts, banks etc - they all have them.

This beggar as well

It’s blatantly Rory Bremner doing the Voiceover too :unamused:

EDIT

I’ve found that utterly utterly moronic song I was on about earlier in the thread

“”“The woo-hoo song”“”" :imp: :smiling_imp:

They used this on Radio One for ages as some stupid ■■■■ jingle and as a backing music track on a Celebrity Juicer ITV 2 ad.

■■■■ I hate this music! I don’t know why I just do :laughing: :laughing:

Friends of the wife who buy her 8% alcohol bottles of wine for her birthday, I mean bloody 8% dont these buggers know women buy wine by looking at the back of the bottle to check its at least 13.5%.
I know for a fact 8% wont even get me a feel of her ■■■■, sure these sods do it on purpose.

Watching the last episode of call the midwife with the missus and having to pretend to cry in order to trigger a sympathy shag to compensate for the 8% wine.

Some radio annoyances…

Travel reporters on local radio. Radio Oxford used to have this dizzy Scouse bird called Sarah Dumbell (quite fit though, I’ve had a Google Perve :smiley: )and now got some Father Ted soundalike, but it seems all regional stations have these people who can’t do what they’re paid to do without talking ■■■■■■■■ to the presenter.

Commercial stations where the newsreader ends with “and now you’re up to date.” :imp:

Those new bars of dairy milk. Why don’t they have squares of chocolate. It’s all stupid bloody shapes now.

Probably loved by those who buy bags of “misshapes” thinking they’re cheap Bournville rejects.

Everything that comes out of bournville nowadays is a reject since going halal !

I reject all halal foods. I’m not a veggie or animal rights nutter I just think they should produce food the same way as we do, not the way it’s written in a book of fairy stories.

Yeah it’s that stupid overfamiliar stuff that annoys me.

“The usual heavy traffic over the swing bridge”
“The traffic lights are broken outside Tesco’s” - how is an out of towner meant to know where these places are?

A lot of local radio is poor anyway. A lot of school run mum stuff around school run time (old Westlife and Take That etc :unamused: )

The news reports are on repeat too.

The silver Toyata car that was doing 30 to 45 mph on a road with a speed limit of 60 mph ,who had no idea that were about 30 cars waiting patiently for a place to over take.
I assumed it was an elderly couple, until they turned off.
It was a couple in their 20,s.
He indicates on every bend and traffic lights but kept straight on, kept braking for no reason on a dry road on a sunny day, no L plstes, he drove like a drunk.
Police car going the other way didn’t do nothing.

Bumping into an old acquaintance in the supermarket, not good enough friends to still knock about with though.

Then have to spend the rest of the shoping expedition trying to avoid them by peering down isles SAS style to avoid further awkward moments.

Culminating in hanging back if you see them at the checkout even if it means wandering round aimlessly pretending to look at stuff that’s already in your trolley.

Really really really sloooow Fork Truck Drivers, just tipping 24 pallets in Bletchley, I’ve pump trucked 12 across the wagon & it’s taken an hour so far [emoji99]
If he goes any slower, I’ll have to night out here !

I used to have a regular drop at a place in Weedon. For some reason their Goods In area was at the opposite end if the building to the door. I would pump-truck a pallet to the back of the trailer and the forkie would take it and drive off into the building. I would wait…

Tumbleweed would blow across the yard…

I would count the rivets holding the building together…

Civilisations would rise and fall…

The forkie would return for the next pallet. Rinse & Repeat.

I was glad I only ever had three or four pallets for them and pitied the poor sods who had a full load to tip!

Just to make it one of those days, after the slowest Forkie in the World had finally finished, I had a collection from Brinklow, MK, took em 4hours 25 minutes to turn me round, 26 pallets through the back doors, luckily they let me stay in the cab, I had 2 sleeps & watched The Heroes of Telemark. Been a Loooong Day. [emoji99]

That did make me laugh that’s so me when I see the Ex in Sainsburys about a year back. I felt brave that day and went to the Sainsburys not far from where she live at about 8pm I think it was or there abouts. I thought I never shop in there and I won’t see her as it’s getting late and she has small kids so she will be at home. After 10 mins walking around I turn a corner and then who do I actually come face to face with ?Ahhhhhhh crap FFs

People who drop hints that I haven’t sponsored them for something.
Those annoying Christian Aid money envelopes that God botherers stick through your door.

Placing my rubbish bag in the open top bin at the services like a good trucker. Unfortunately this is near a family of wobblebox folk then watching as crows peck it to death and dispense the contents into the air and it blows in the direction of the aforementioned family. In this case the contents being mostly ■■■■ filled super absorbent kitchen tissues.

I had to cut my break short and leave sharpish.

Radio presenters that bang on and on how they have made it to Wednesday and tell millions of bored listeners that is the middle of the week, then the countdown to the weekend .
Do they not realise some may work weekends and bank holidays .
People that email Steve Wright and say Love the show .
Supermarkets that have pretend bakeries, and pipe out the smell of baking bread in the front entrance to make you buy seasonal products .I smelt hot cross buns .

Classic

To add to that Tobes, what about service stations that have cakes and bread on the counter with a sign proclaiming “baked in store today.” Where exactly? An industrial unit on the outskirts of Tewkesbury doesn’t count.
