Trivial things that annoy you

Blimey, you'd need to smoke a 1,000 fags a day for a century to achieve that kind of effect!

 

Ah, it's the testosterone leaking from the steering wheels that poisons them, they can't help it.

 

I can't remember what brand it was but I don't think it was benylin. I was only little, so I only remember it as being in a flat brown bottle, and the medicine was bright red and tasted yummy.

 

Anyone driving a German motor, arrogance just rubs off on them, or maybe you just need to be arrogant to buy a German motor in the first place.

 

The smell of garlic from an Indian restaurant!!

I love that smell, Val!

 

On about annoying people standing too close behind you. When I was much younger, I played pool a lot. Sometimes in competitions. I was a bit more hot headed back then too. One time, every time I lined up for a shot, a very annoying lad thought it funny to knock the cue from behind, interfering with my shot. So after I'd had enough, I continued pretending to completely ignore him, lined up for a shot, waited for him to knock the cue, then drew the cue back to take my shot, only this time I quite accidentally drew it further back and much faster until I felt a thud and heard a funny little noise. Then without even looking back, I just took the shot and carried on with the game. He didn't seem to bother knocking my cue any more after that for some reason.

 

Note to self. Never mess with Clue.

I'd like to be an onlooker when he tows the cars away though.

 

BMW, company car drivers
To get to the top of the company tree and drive a company BMW car, they have to have been totally arrogant Barstewards, climbing over all their colleagues no matter what the cost
This continues in their driving, totally arrogant to other road users

This continues to private owners, who have done the same to earn enough to buy their own
NEW BMW, and as I said earlier, it is just a pity they can not afford the optional extras like Indicators

There are a few who managed to buy their car with their parents inheritance, unfortunately it only takes a couple of months to slip into the I am more powerful and better than you class

Oh the times I wish I was in the thirty year old Landrover DEFENDER with tow bar, when being tailgated, I have managed to fit a switch to the stop lights :-)

It's one thing that always used to amaze me when I worked in an office. Why do the women sit there throughout their lunch break eating their packed lunch at their desk? And why is it always salad and low fat yoghurt like their all on some kind of freak health mission. Surely they really must love where they work to want to spend even their break times there. The first thing I'd do is get out of there and head off down town. Even sitting in the cafe at Asda was preferable to staying in work listening to Mary bang on about her menopause. I spend enough time at my desk, why on earth would I want to sit there in my free time? It's not as if they're paying me to be there.

As for works parties, forget it. Why do I want to spend my spare time socialising with people I'm sick of the sight of because I have to spend 37 hours a week listening to their constant inane drivel and looking at the same annoying smug faces day after day.

 

Don't tell anyone at work your screen name

 

So, Mr Wizard, we'd like you to organise our next office team-building exercise......

The amazing thing is that the people who eat these things, usually in conjunction with low-fat cottage cheese, are always fat anyway.

Ooh, that's out of order. That's the secret female knowledge, that is. On the other hand, might be worth listening to pick up a few tips, bound to be useful some day, one way or the other.

 

This is very trivial and only slightly annoying but........ why can I never find the smiley I am looking for???
