Now , where's my Pringle jumper
The amount of numbers I need to remember when filling up with fuel and buying lunch from a petrol station.
Pump number
PIN number for fuel card
Mileage
PIN number for credit card
It wouldn't be the first time I have given my mileage when they ask for the pump number :greengrin:
Still on the petrol stations ....
The fact I always get out my car , walk round to my fuel cap only to remember that I have to go back into the car to pull the wee petrol cap switch .
Pulling the bonnet catch switch instead on the petrol cap switch :greengrin:
Tyre pressure warning lights and sensors. GTF.
Im going out to bash a few doors this avo. After all, car owners should expect others to carelessly damage their stuff. Don't understand why people care about their belongings.Quote:

My postie getting angry when I show up at the door completely naked.
Mainly because it scares his wife and kids and his neighbours complain about it.
'Christmas Eve boxes'.
When I was a child I used to beg to open a present early but wasn't allowed to because you wait until morning. That was normal and with hindsight totally fair.
Now all the mums I know are buying their kids extra presents to open in a box on Christmas Eve, a few of these people are struggling at Christmas as it is and are putting more pressure on themselves to keep up with the playground mafia.
I'm anything but a scrooge, I love Christmas and the time around it but this is just another made up 'tradition'.
Think it might be the chicken or egg question. Did the person park like a Twatt because he's a Twatt or did some Twatt force him to park that way because they parked like a Twatt?Quote:

It's time to reclaim Christmas from November and bring it back to December. As for Christmas Eve boxes WTF just like school proms and all the other peer pressure events it needs to stop but it won't sadly.
When I was a kid, our next door neighbours used to give me a book every Christmas (ie. a different one every year). The neighbours were good people and it was always one of the presents I looked forward to most. For whatever reason, I was allowed to open their present before going to bed on Christmas Eve (the same for their kids with my parents' presents). I've no idea how this mini tradition started, but I don't see the harm in it.Quote:

In the same vein, the invention of new 'Days' for cards (probably instigated by some dastardly scoundrel at Hallmark).e.g. Boss's Day/Secretary's Day/Any Buggar's Day ... and so on.Quote:

Folk who sit in the overtaking lane on the motorway but drive at 40mph when the road ahead is clear. Absolute fuds.
People travelling on trains who have no consideration or manners towards other passengers and are totally oblivious to how their behavior is pissing everyone else off. (3 Mums, 1 Teenager & 3 Young girls travelling to Blackpool for a dance competition on the 16.52 from Waverley on Friday night) :grr:

When they finally left at Preston it looked like a tsunami had hit their section of the carriage. Apart from that they were charming, I never got round to asking how they park their cars:-)Quote:

It's frustrating and stressful having to follow and absorb important information when it's often impossible to make out what they are saying. I have on several occasions had to politely end the conversation and try again later.
Co-workers just in general.
I work with some decent people but a couple of the people I work in close proximity with must be the most selfish, lazy, demanding, ungracious erseholes ever brought into existence.
Just had a women relocated into my office, nice enough women, but...her breath is absolutely honking. I'm only speaking to her from across the room now, if she's beside me and speaking to me I can't even look at her directly, have to get my nose out the way. She's not a smoker, it's just general dog breath. It's disgusting.
I used to work beside a woman like that but, unfortunately the aroma was coming from a bit further south than her mouth!Quote:

Women who think men are interested in discussing women's topics (dresses, hats, make-up, hair-dos, tupperware, etc.)
From my experience, men actually prefer to talk about drinking, fitbaw, and tottie. Hope that's of some help, girls :tin hat:
Vegetarians who want to eat pretend meat products???? Sausages,bacon,mince etc.
They're like lesbians who use a dildo.Quote:

Selfish people. Waiting to get on a flight earlier and we were bussed out to aircraft, we were waiting on the punters getting off it and bussed back to the terminal and there was this one woman just standing on the tarmac not getting on the bus and she was clearly distressed, it actually y turns out she was scared of being in big crowds as the bus was full and standing. Anyway some idiot on our bus and decides to pipe up and shouts this is ridiculous just arrest her and get it over with I need to get home! I said to him arrest her for what? Being scared?? Absolute clown of a man.
The same idiot tried to barge past me at Edinburgh airport at the other end as we were bussed to the terminal there too, He bounced off my bag and stumbled onto the tarmac from the bus. I thought it was his just desserts to be honest. :greengrin
