Swagger walkers

Do you mean like Ian Brown, Mad Ferret style?
Not keen on those myself, HOWEVER, I don't know how or why but I can't walk like a normal person, apparently I have a very distinctive walk with a bit of a bounce.
I'm bloody murder at carrying two cups of coffee down the office as the mugs are half empty by the time I get back to the desk.
I'm sure folk think I'm swaggering, but I'm not, honest guv!

Folk who walk like speedy_gonzales;-)

Feet on seats on public transport.

[Alfiembra]

Guys that clear their throat and spit, or empty their nasal cavities in a public loo, and for some reason seem to think nobody else can hear them.

People who use more than one card at an ATM or get a mini statement then mull it over before deciding what to do next.

Death penalty isn't enough for people like that.

People who ask what part of Liverpool I am from. I always reply with "do you know any parts of Liverpool" to which 99% of people who ask me say "no" Why ask then as it makes no difference?

Should be a rule about that - one transaction then rejoin the queue.

[sleeping giant]

People who refer to others who they work with as "my staff"

Aye maybe if you owned the company ya bam.

People that don't understand the art of making small talk.

[derekHFC]

People who try to whistle along with the radio, but are miles off the actual tune

Spot on.

On a similar note I work for a property management company and when I hear my colleagues talking about "one of my landlords" a small part of me dies inside. They're not your landlord and you don't own them so quit it and stop being a dick.

I get that down here too.

Where in Scotland are you from? ... "oh i dont know it"

Or better "are you from glasgow? We went to glasgow once".

Does my head in when people use "the experts" or "the so called experts" when someone doesn't have the same opinion as them.

Seems to be quite prevalent on .net of late, I've noticed people using it more than I can remember.

In all seriousness, this morning in my local Sainsbury's I selected a crisp multipack from the main shelves, then saw walkers were doing a better deal on the offer aisle and just abandoned the original pack with the walkers, thereby ruining the effectiveness of the display.

That's the kind of badass you're dealing with.

Sticking it to the Man. I like it.

Gas and electricity tariffs.

I moved off a fixed rate tariff onto a standard tariff with same company which is a lot more expensive. After doing all the price comparison stuff I've now got companies and all their tariffs coming out of my ears.

Hang on, whether I pay £10 a year or £1000 a year, I'm getting the same stuff. Gas is gas and electricity is electricity...the more expensive tariff won't get me a better grade of any of them.

What a load of bollox. Here's and idea, why don't we have a system where we have one company charging one standard price for what is essentially one product. We could call them the gas board and the electricity board or something. If it was all brought into public ownership we could invest any remaining profits in our countries infrastructure.

Sounds too wacky to ever work.

Worked beside a guy who did this all the time. He was just a punter but gave the impression on the phone he was the top man. Plonker.

Strident-voiced female sports reporters.
There, I've said it.

[Hibrandenburg]

People who use the self service checkout who have no shimmer of an idea as to how they work.

I'm on the train from Manchester to London right now. Train is empty and two folk have just disrupted the whole carriage arguing over a booked seat.

Person 1 couldn't read
Person 2 could have sat anywhere.

Modern cars and indicators in general. So many new cars have indicators that are really hard to pick up when driving. Style has overtaken safety on that particular front.

Is this the start of a riddle?

[Scouse Hibee]

Contestants on shows that always start their interview with the presenter by telling their sob story.

[stantonhibby]

Wimbledon ballboys and girls.....don't know why but they just annoy me.

Folk who have no idea about the cost of something but totally ignore you when you try and guide them in the right direction then get a shock when they actually see the price.

Had a meeting with a guy today who was setting up a new cafe/takeaway. Sounds nice enough but it's your standard wraps, paninis, baked potatoes and so on. He started asking about plates with a list price of between £90 and £125 for a dozen. I suggested he have a look at a similar range that was a bit more economical but he insisted he wanted these ones. He then went on to request a quote for 20 micron silver cutlery, that's for fine dining restaurants and even they are put off by the price but he wouldn't listen when I suggested an 18/10 stainless steell would be more appropriate.

So I put a quote together with a reasonable discount and lo and behold it was too expensive. He was 'hoping to spend about £20 a case for plates'. Great idea mate I'll sell you plates at a 3rd of my cost price, I did make you aware this was a premium range with a premium price tag. Yes, I'd love to now waste my time requoting for the plain white porcelain and 'budget' range I initially suggested about 6 hours ago.

Total waste of time.

or people who come to you to ask for advice as an "expert" (their words), then proceed to ignore everything you've said. It's your money etc, what you do with it is your call, just please don't waste my time asking my opinion when you're going to ignore it anyway.

[lord bunberry]

People who cheat and use google at quizzes. I just finished second to a table of French ****ers doing this im not that intelligent but I do have the ability to reatain useless information, which serves me well in quizes. Seeing people openly googling answers is pathetic
