I saw some of him on Sunday Brunch yesterday. He's tragic. I can't tell if he is actually a complete idiot, or if he's playing it up?

He's a character - no one can be that stupid.

The sad thing is that folk like him, it's not pity they feel for him.

The flight attendant waking me up because we were about to land . WTF ??

You'd think we'd be more worried about causing an accident or perhaps killing someone by not obeying signals but apparently we only comply with the threat of a fine and 6 points.
And yes, I do get a little humpty on this subject after I was wiped out by a car going through a blatant red,,,

I've not problems with red light cameras, my problem is with those who make an emergency stop when the lights change to amber and they're 2 yards from the lights.

He's required to by EASA regulations if he can't confirm any of a whole list of requirements prior to take off or landing.

Maybe they wouldn't feel the need to stop if it wasn't for red light cameras? 😉

People who work on toll booths (or other 'one on one' jobs) and have the most grumpy and miserable personalities.
Is this an actual job requirement? Just wonderin'.

If he was a dug he'd be put down. Complete roaster.

Now I know the Scots accent can sometimes be tricky for other peepul to unnerstaun, but something that gets my goat over here is this thing I've started referring to as the "auto-what". You know, you'll ask someone a question and they automatically say "what?" and as you start to repeat yourself, they answer. So they DID understand the first time!!

David Mitchell answers your pet peeve pretty well I think - (from 1:51 in the link, though the rest is pretty funny too)

Grey trakies in public. It's called "lounge wear" for a reason!

Sparkling water. And more to the point; when you mistake sparkling water for still.

People who say they're allergic to foods when they just don't fancy it. (Note, not people who are actually allergic to things, that's not a peeve at all.)

Similar not with food but with films/tv shows. I will say to her why dont we watch xyz... and she goes nae, I wont like it. I say how do you know if youve not seen it and her response usually is, I just know I wont, its not my thing.

This came to an argument when I tried to get her to watch the sopranos box set with me. She said 'I dont like gangster things, so I know I wont like it.'
One of her 3 favourite moves is Goodfellas (other 2 is stand by me and trainspotting, she wont watch much else). I said but your favourite film is goodfellas, and thats all gangster stuff. She still wouldnt try it so in the end I went in a huff and watched it on my own in the bedroom.

About a week or 2 later Iwas on season 4 and she came through for an early night and started watching it, finally said this is no bad actually, can we go back to the start. The answer was no, in a not so polite way

People who call it "Butcher meat" "I always buy my butcher meat from"............................

The deals offered only to new customers

People who keep posting on this thread,they must be peeved at everything.

Drug dealers in your stair that the council winnae evict, horrible bitch that she is.

An incomplete sneeze.

Moi, Kermie? :greengrin

Inexcusable laziness in a partner.

Got in late last night after having to do a few bits and bobs post work to find Mrs PB sitting on her erse watching TV with no lunches made, a full washing machine needing emptied, no dinner made and dishes from beeakfast still waiting to be washed. When I questioned this I was told she 'was tired' and had 'been at work all day.'

I should probably point out that this isn't some 'a woman should know her place' post. I'm in first most nights, after being at work all day, and cook dinner for us 6 nights a week (it would be 7 but I visit my Grandad on a Thursday evening). I also usually prepare lunches for both of us every day we are working and generally take care of all the little household things before she gets home. I think because she doesn't see it there's a belief a fairy godmother or soneone does it.

Does my nut in especially when her powers of recall are such that she can remember the one time I left my boxers in the bathroom for an hour 4 years ago.

I've been there. Probably due another one of those arguments soon.

Long pubes in urinals. Dirty dirty manky pube pullers.
