That fucking Argos advert with the aliens!!!

Am I the only one that thinks when the 'mum' alien says, "Mmmmm, Bieber!" that it sounds like she's actually saying, "Mmmmmm beaver!"?

[Noelle]

Oh god. I was going to say something else but now I've got the idea in my head and it won't go away. Almost in tears. You and Eileen as a couple.

[What's the procedure Mr Mod?]

I hate those people that, when in front of you in the queue, put the next customer sign thingy down on the conveyor belt with force, purpose and a 'have some of that' attitude.

They stand there watching me putting my shopping on with a look of shock horror and dismay, I wonder what the fuck they're looking at. They start tutting and shit and whispering to who ever they're with. Then, out of nowhere they decide they've had enough and get the customer shopping divide sign thing, climb over the trolly, lean over the conveyor belt knocking food everywhere, looking at you like you're scum huffing and puffing, and plonk it down in the grand canyon size gap I'd left between my shopping and theirs.

They then turn to you with a smug look on their face "there you horrible bastard, thought you were going to get me to pay for your shopping did ya? Well no, i'm all over this shit"

FUCK OFF and chill the fuck out. I'm not going to let the checkout person put my shit through with yours, I want it for myself, that's why I brought it to the till, for fucksake. Even if I stopped paying attention, cos the women on aisle 5 dropped a case of wine, or the women on checkout 10's tits are on show as she leans over the checkout for this weeks OK, I'd back even the worst checkout monkey to realise that the gap between your shit roll and my steak, that I'm stood next to by the way, is an indicator that you're shopping had come to an end. Also, so what if some of my shopping does go through with yours, I've got better food than you anyway, plus they're not going to force you to pay for it and make you take it home are they??? They'll just reverse the transaction. Christ.
 
If you're that fucking scared that i'm gonna try pull a fast one and get you to buy my shopping you should put the bastard sign down yourself in the first place.  On the other hand take a lighter approach to life and let it be, it'll more than likely be reet won't it? If you carry on stressing to fuck in the Tesco queue you'll die of a heart attack at a young age.

How many times in the last 12 months have people called round on you to conduct surveys?

- 0
- 1-2
- 3-5
- More than 5

How wound up does this make you?

- Not wound up at all
- Quite wound up
- Very wound up

My housemates being dirty/lazy and not doing chores, cleaning the bathroom, doing their dishes, mopping or vacuuming, all left to me 

This happened to be me whilst doing my second graduate degree. Worst part of it was all the other people in the house were also doing graduate degrees and had lived on their own before, so there was no excuse. Worst part was when one of them complained about the floor being slightly wet after I mopped it. After asking why she didn't mop the floor herself, she said she didn't know to use a mop. She was the youngest person in the house at age 25, yet she later told me she had her mum clean her room until she turned 22.

Wound me up so much tonight that I ended up stabbing it several times with a kitchen knife and throwing it across the kitchen.

Why's that then?

Seems obvious to me like, but sure let's see what she says

[Crosby Nick]

Mancs in general and a mate in particular getting on his high horse about Suarez and claiming him giving the finger is far worse than Rooney swearing down the camera. Saying he would be horrified if that had happened in front of him and his lad. Obviously in this hypothetical world he lives in he wouldn't be at all bothered by anyone on the crowd swearing or doing rude gestures, just those mast Hispanic scouser types.

Sorry wrong thread, thought this was the  things that wind you up rationally.

By the way I owe this guy 50 quid. He's getting it paid into his account tomorrow with reference 'Channel 5 TV rights'.

My car insurance is more expensive this year than it was the first year I got insured. No claims or anything. Unbelievable.

Shop around, if an insurance company thinks you are 'safe' with them they will try their hand to raise their premium in the hope you'll just accept it to avoid the hassle of any administration.  Ring them and just be frank with them and say they you can't understand how your premium has went up as you haven't claimed anything. Tell them you have a better quote from another insurer and they'll soon shit themselves and bend over backwards to stop you from leaving.

As Irish-Kopite said, ring them and give them a bollocking down the phone, say you're planning on switching from them now because you are so outraged, they'll bring it down straight away. Happened to me before aswell, they're chancing their arm.

Aye, gonna give them a ring today and see what the story is. It's utter lunacy. Absolutely no way I'll be going ahead with the figures I've been quoted.

Tenner says you wont have 'black or brown' hair when you are in your 70's.

People ripping the shit out of gingers, it's as bad as racism to me and really shouldn't be tolerated (by the way, I'm not ginger)

No it isn't. Not even close.

The Media obsession with Pippa Middleton. Seriously, she looks closers to 40 than 30 and isn't even that goodlooking, and she hardly even has an arse never bing the best arse in the world! The sooner this nonentity is out of our lives the better.

[Chinbits]

Why is it not even close? Skin colour or hair colour? Not much difference really.

i think they do that so some people will brick it and say yes to it

only time my insurance went up was when i switched to a bigger car and thats with a huge claim

Which makes me wonder about the male/female factor. If you were female your premium would be less. Does it follow that having a sex change would lower your premium? Extreme scenario I know.

Are you serious? Well, the most simple argument could be that you can easily change hair colour, but can't change skin colour (insert Michael Jackson joke). Another thing you could say is that people aren't discriminated nearly as much on fucking hair colour. Fuck me, a few jokes on the internet and your mates laughing at gingers makes it as bad as racism? Also at no point in history did gingers get their rights taken away from them for being ginger.  It's never as bad, it's a joke, if someone is ginger and it bothers them so much they can tell their mates to fuck off with that. I don't know how to explain this, I'm just so surprised someone can actually think making fun of a hair colour is as bad as racism.

[Gobias Industries]

Why is it not even close? Skin colour or hair colour? Not much difference really.

Making fun of gingers, while the gingers themselves might not like it and probably get sick of it, is not the same as racism. For it to be the same, racism would have to able to be described as "making fun of black people".

Gingers have never been the victims of national, systemic oppression within the legal systems of their countries. They've never been denied access to education because of the colour of their hair. They've never had hate groups try to remove them from a country altogether because they are ginger.

I get why some, most probably, gingers get sick of people making fun of their hair colour. But if any ginger honestly feels like that is comparable to hundreds of years of slavery, oppression, bigotry and hatred of the kind that black people suffered, then they need to man the fuck up. Having said that, I don't make fun of gingers who aren't my friends. For two reason. I know they can take it and they know I don't mean it. I don't think it's very funny to do it to someone you don't know or use it as a stick to beat someone you don't like with. But anything at all like racism it certainly is not.

You know who I hate. Those blue eyed wankers. Green eyes all the way.

50/50 really.

It was said in jest by the way!

[24/7]

My eyes are blue-green, am I a wanker?

On the basis of statistical probability and with the information available when taking the previous context into account, I can conclude that you are indeed a wanker but only half a wanker, so that would be with just the one hand.

[Snail]

Yeah, whatever. Bad as racism, that.

[Crosby Nick]

At least you had the common decency to shut that one blue eye.

I'm married to a 'ginger' and I don't see the original remark as being anything even closely resembling something akin to racism, let alone 'as bad as'.

Sure, they get a hard time over it, but so do a lot of other people who have similar genetic quirks. Most of the redheaded people I know rise above it and even embrace it. The whole 'ginger' thing is in itself utterly irrational and even amusing.

Here's one that winds me up though - men who start to get a bit of grey hair and get all defensive - "It's Icelandic Blonde!" - fuck off you muppet, it's grey, you're getting old, accept it gracefully!
