Topic: The small things in life that really hannoy

[ChaChaMooMoo]

When people start every single post on here with ‘I mean’.

Do they speak like this in real life?

Phrases Fillers like I mean, Like, Uhmmm, Actually are used when people got something to say, but their brain isnt fast enough to string together a series of words. So they use such fillers to make sure that they got something to say, but use the millisecond time, to think of the next few words.

Moms cousin was a speech therapist at her bank. Her job involved training managers, VPs etc. to iron out such words.

Oh i know upstate New York is a great place - some of my wife's family emigrated there 40 years ago and the snow is immense.
However I still think skiing over The Empire State Building sounds epic

I just put what the way he written it down to bad grammar

I can see the point when speaking, but when posting? Its not like you don't have time to think and review before clicking post.*

There's a shit load in the Transfer/Post Match/FSG threads who need to do more of that.

I got some planet themed chocolates for christmas, they are all the same size.

The worst bit is they have the Sun in it, but have omitted Pluto. I'd argue Pluto has more of a claim of being in the Planets than the fucking Sun.

Seeing Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter stuff on the shelves in shops while they are still trying to flog the Christmas stuff they have left over from a few weeks ago.

Noticed that yesterday.  I was in Tesco and a couple were buying Easter chocolates

The amount of cyclists during the evening with no lights on their bike wearing dark clothing. When I was a lad it was a thing that you had to have lights on your bike at night.

Pretty sure UK laws state cyclists need lights and safety reflectors on their bike.

However, I have the same gripe with people out on a stroll without any reflective garment, or even worse, people who walk their dog and the dog is on the other side of the pathway!

They were in stock before Christmas !!!!!

See loads like this riding on the roads - part of me hopes they get clipped just to wake the dumb fuckers up. I know our kid nearly hit one in his truck a couple of months ago, pitch black morning, unlit road, no lights and black clothes

Don't know what it is with some online companies online chat but they always seem to disconnect if you don't say anything for a minute. Unbelievably frustrating.#

Also Alpharooms who are pissing me off. Went out of business couple of months ago but have still ot given anyone a refund.

[Tesco tearaway]

One thing that royally pisses me off is 'Failarmy' type videos on FB where the uploader has dubbed canned laughter over it.
It's even worse if it's dubbed with the Indian sounding fella repeatedly saying 'Oh no no no no' before bursting out into false laughter

Hard Agree/Hard Disagree.

Seriously, what the fuck is that? Our language is getting stupider and stupider as the nation gets stupider and stupider. No wonder we end up with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson as Prime Minister

Just seen posts with both. Fucking morons.

Maybe the agreement/disagreements are just really sexy...

[rob1966]

Yeah its here where I saw it too. I thought Hard disagree was a typo and they meant to type Hard to disagree, but then the post made no sense, then I thought it was hard to disagree

Haha, just seen that too. I thought it was meant to be "hard to agree", but that would have been odd because there was no further clarification.

Google's 2-factor authentication. Every time I want to sign in, I have to go through the stupid 2F thing. Then usually it can't reach my phone, even though its in my hand and working fine, so have to jump through tons of additional hoops just to watch youtube. Wish you could just turn it off!

Haven't got this problem myself so I'm not sure if this would work; but have you tried watching in an Incognito tab?

You can watch without singing in of course, but then you get all the crap and not your targeted stuff (which is another rant, youtube ignoring my subscriptions and suggesting loads of rubbish). The google login leaves a cookie, but I delete mine frequently, which means new login and often a security warning.

I hate this with a passion. It used to take me over 20 minutes to drive 200 yards from work, due to the stupid Manc twats all blocking the two boxes at the top of white city way and Chester Road.

Probably some sort of Americanisation shite of the English language.

On the driving theme, Why does everyman and his dog drive a massive feck off 4 x 4 nowadays??

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, halfway up a scree mountain side with numerous 2 ft deep fords to cross, what's the feckin point of them apart from keeping up with the joneses.

There is an elderly woman who regularly fills the local co-op car park with a ford ranger (if you dont know what 1 is think of the titanic on wheels) anyhoo she cant feckin drive it and has to do a 30000 point turn to get back off the car park, you live in stoke duck, you dont need 1, get something smaller than an ocean liner.

'Blue Monday' is a marketing exercise and it's sick that preying on peoples' mental health is a normal part of flogging last year's obsolete merchandise.

Totally agree. We've actually had a supportive email from our IT director this morning, pointing out its a myth and giving tips on mental health care.

Doesn't help though when my Google memories from this day in 2010/11/12 and 13 show photos of me sat by the pool in Tenerife

[El Lobo]

First day back in since the 22nd of December today (and 7 days in New York) and the cars sprung a coolant tank leak AND a soon to be flat battery, so its Everton-blue Monday for me today

That seems to be the strategy behind most marketing.

Create a problem you didn't know you had, then sell you the 'answer'.

Prices of cars seem to have gone up and it's quite frustrating, especially as I was hoping to upgrade. Did a valuation on mine and I was expecting it to drop by about £600, but it's actually increased by that much. What gives?

I'm the same and apparently it's down to lack of new cars being built due to not being able to get the computer chips for them.

Manufacturers can't compete with the tech companies 🤷

My neighbour still leaving her dog alone all day and it does nowt but bark. Six months later. I hate her so fucking much.

[Elmo!]

Fucking car alarms. There has been one going off constantly for most of yesterday and today, right outside my flat while I try to work.

Yeah as Debs said above, it's due to their being a delay on new cars being built, which has led to the second-hand market booming.

So it should be
If you had a guaranteed final payment on a lease, that’s what we have in the US then you could be quids in.

If it was for 10k and the car is worth 15k then you are 5k up if you trade in early or buy out, no ?
