Like someone said earlier on this thread, they're too busy on Facebook. The amount of clueless drivers does appear to be on the increase, but it must be horrendous being a learner or inexperienced driver these days.

The wife.


Can't find her passport.
Me: Where do you think it could be?
Her: In a folder
Me:Where's the folder?
Her: I think it could be in a box in the office
Me thinks: ok perhaps take a look in the box.

She procedes to turn the bedroom over

3hours later:
Me: have you found it yet?
Her surrounded by an almighty mess: no, I think I'll have to get a new one
Me: so it wasn't in the box in the office?
Her: I haven't looked there yet


Guess where it was?

Even worse when they hire a car in Spain and go mental when faced with a roundabout. Some just stop in the middle of it to work out why their brain is a complete c*nt.

That bleeding horrible phone interference noise down your speaker. All the way home tonight when i had my phone music running through my auxilliary lead it was going off constantly. Once i'm clear of the city and along the A47 it gets ten times worse and drives me crackers.

My sociology dissertation at Sussex University got a first. The statistics in it were robust though I'd be the first to admit that the principles behind my conclusions were based on one of Durkheim's more anthropological texts.

Would I get a first today for it, probably not but my annoyance is probably higher.

My work colleague washes everything up in the sink apart from my mug. Its harder to wash around it than it is to actually wash it I think.

I dont even want her to wash it but its now a battle of wills as to who relents first. Today she has to battle against a new foe in a second mug i have added.

Your move lady.

I'd wash her mug then rub my bell end around all 360 degrees of the rim. :p

Salad_Burnet 07-11-2016 11:38 PM

I'm annoyed by work colleagues who use washing up liquid to clean their mugs. What, did you mix an oily dressing in it for your lunch or something?

Water and a couple of hands are all that's needed to clean out a mug, not detergent.

sherrifbart 08-11-2016 08:10 PM

I used to work with a woman who used to randomly steal other folks food,milk etc.from the fridge,when one of the lads confronted her about it she was very "so what"about it,the lads didnt want to report her for it,but a couple of the wilder young bucks deceided to take revenge,As she was always in before anyone else,they doctored the milk left in the fridge,they added spit,snot piss ,knob wipings,and for good measure,two sleeping tablets,When every one else arrived at starting time,the woman was found looking absolutely green with sickness,and spent the rest of the day snoring at her desk,a bit harsh,possibly dangerous,but the thieving stopped there.

Good shout. Some of the over the top reactions by the press and public over here are ludicrous. Most have no idea of policies and are purely going on personality and public opinion anyway. Yes, Trump is a bit of a **** but Hillary isnt much better.

The really ******* annoying ones are the idiots that think this is some kind of class / race / anti-facisim war and Trumps election is some kind of call to arms.

We've got exactly the same. I've always thought what the **** for and it must only be us who goes through this daily palaver so glad to see you go through it as well.

It's f*cking Christmas and if you're so politically correct that you cannot call it Christmas then f*ck off!

Having your home away from home here in the US you should know the period from Thanksgiving through to Christmas New year is called the holiday season (plural) because there's more than one public and/or religious holiday in short order.

Do to him what they do on those prank videos. Tell him there's no toilet paper in your trap and ask him to hand you some paper under the divider. Dip your hand in a jar of Nutella then as you take the paper from him wipe it on his hand. Mind you the fat bastard would probably immediately know its chocolate spread and lick it off his hand. Therefore I suggest using real shit.

People in Christmas clubs when it's time to cash in, and then brag about it relentlessly. Who really needs to spend more than one month's salary at Christmas-time anyway? Two, if you count November. They're like those obnoxious children you see waiting for other children to finish their sweets before disclosing to all and sundry that they've got loads left. The bloke at work has just cashed in £4,000. Unless he's a guilt-ridden child molester, he really doesn't need to go without £400 a month the rest of the year to pay for his two kids at Christmas time. It's bollox.

We have guerrilla bin-men, that hilariously adopt stealth mode and career down the road 4 hours earlier than the standard 1130 every so often revelling in the peculiarly light workload that day and befuddled why so many vexed people in dressing gowns are visible in their mirrors prowling the streets.

Oh very much so, just write a ******* statement. Stop thinking you're better and more intellectual than everyone else and that your point of view is so much more important than the thoughts a normal person would say directly to their kid should be heard by all. If it was Morgan Freeman, fair play. Everyone else can bugger off though

Presenter - this house has mouldy walls
Music - the most obscure song you've ever heard which mentions mould walls somewhere in it's lyrics.

It's like someone has gone onto google and literally typed, lyrics with "XXXXXX" in it.

This happens around 12 times per show.

There was another DIY show that used to be on BBC1 that had a shocking theme tune (the one with LLB and was pretty notorious for being sh!t). I later found out the composer's other work was pretty good.

That's it really.

What I can't understand is why Dion Dublin ever got the chance to present it.

Having your home away from home here in the US you should know the period from Thanksgiving through to Christmas New year is called the holiday season (plural) because there's more than one public and/or religious holiday in short order.

I assumed he was talking about the UK, not your bang out of order colony. :)

Donald may well be getting rid of political correctness but they will still say Mas Cow instead of Moscow. And erbs and f*cking bayzil instead of basil.

Bayzil Fawlty my arse.

People chomping on sweets. Or banging their tea spoon against their mug as they stir it. I could go in to a rage.

Followed by the tipper truck getting stolen for the second time in two years.

When at a bar you do the nice gesture of indicating to a barman that the bloke next to you was first, and he then orders 8 different drinks and food.

Was at a dinner last night. John Siles (Nobbys lad) was the after dinner speaker. Was funny for 15 minutes. Should have sat down after 30. Went on and on and on for 50 and became tedious. Why do these feckers not know when to STFU and sit down ?

I would've thought paying by card was quicker than paying by cash, no?
