New - The things that really annoy you

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Came home early this pm to watch a movie with wife. Turn TV on, pride and prejudice is on. "Let's watch the rest of this first" says wife.
Six and a half hours later Jennifer Ehle finally marries Colin Firth. Wife has watched it a trillion times before. I HATE period dramas.

Ice cubes in beer: is this popular pub order atrocious – or ingenious?

A new survey has found that more than a quarter of adults under 35 commit the sin of dilution to keep their pint cool. Is this alarming new trend here to stay?

Fuck the fuck off and keep fucking off until you get back here and then fuck off again.

People who use neck cushions on planes. That’s definitely woke. You’d never get Sean Dyche using one of those either.

None of that fancy bollocks, brexit 442 cricked neck

It’s the way they get dangled from rucksacks swinging about irritating people too. Any you know the users will likely be vegans and fucking useless in the trenches.

To be fair the thing that annoys me the most is getting annoyed by other people so easily.

Don’t know if it’s an age thing or whatever, but definitely getting worse.

 

[Keef]

It’s probably an age thing, or you’re a bus driver, a bus driver definitely makes you hate people

Never been a bus driver, went on a bus once, that made me hate people for ever.

Just dipped a chip in mayonnaise and didn't hate it.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

The fucking tabloid press putting a real skew on Ruben Neves consoling Jota's wife at the funeral.
Kissing her, so, he must be having an affair with her.... Cunts.

Euphemism?

Americans. I appreciate this is a sweeping generalisation, but I'm currently in a hotel bar in Romania. It's a nice bar. Understated. Classy, even.

There's a group of twelve of them drowning out every conversation for everyone else.

One of them just shouted 'I played soccer in college in 1984, which was before it had really been invented'

Absolute cuntitude.

I’ve been really irritated by Americans a lot on holiday to the point I’ve been on the verge of telling them to shut the fuck up and causing an unnecessary scene.

I wonder if it’s not what they are saying, just that the twang of the accent is instinctively irritating and the pitch seems to dominate and carry itself across a room.

That’s the benevolent take, they could just be a load of arseholes to be fair.

It's really hard not to generalise.

I travel a lot, and generally hate every place I visit for the first time. I don't understand the culture, the customs and so on. Even mundane stuff like going to a bar and paying drink by drink versus a tab at the end. Little stuff, but it adds up. But on my second trip, it clicks. I get it, we're good.

In my experience too many Americans assume everything works the way it does in the US, which is ok, if a touch naive. But when they realise they're a long way from home the reaction seems to be to expect conformity with what they expect, rather than what is the norm locally.

Like this batshit notion they've perfected civilisation and everyone should fall in line.

As I say, not all Americans, and I don't want to generalise. But I've seen it too often for it to be isolated bad apples.

Can't speak for the rest of the country, but most texans are actually very friendly, not at all loud and obnoxious, and of course they love an english accent.
Having said that I wouldn't want to be in a bar full of them, but then I wouldn't want to be in a bar full of brits either!

Just got asked if I’d had 3 or 4 beers. Answered 4, I’m either a total idiot or I’d had 5.

Fatal mistake.
