Words you can’t spell. “Bureau”, is one if mine. I tie myself in knots second and third guessing myself whenever I now try to type it.

Probably already been mentioned, but insurance/breakdown renewal quotes should be investigated, how many people just agree with their figures and renew? Got my renewal from Green Flag for my breakdown cover, their quote was £119 for the year. Did a comparison quote and was able to get the exact same cover for as cheap as £28, ended up going for one that was £35, purely because it was a company I had heard of before.
It should be illegal what these companies are doing.
People wearing disposable vinyl gloves in supermarkets and so on. The clue is in the name - disposable. In a medical setting a nurse or doctor uses gloves to attend to a patient, removes them when the task is complete, washes their hands then regloves to deal with the next patient.
The other day I watched a couple get out their car in blue gloves, repeatedly touch their phones whilst waiting outside the supermarket to get in, handle various goods whilst inside, use the self checkout and then get back in their car still wearing the gloves. What purpose did the gloves serve? In what way was that better than not wearing gloves and washing your hands as soon as you get home? If anything it probably encourages a false sense of security.
Agree but there are circumstances where wearing one glove can make sense. Effectively operating a 'dirty' hand/clean hand system. Nip in to supermarket for a pint of milk, lift it with gloved hand, press touchscreen buttons with gloved hand, take credit card out of pocket with ungloved hand and pay contactless, open car door with ungloved hand, place milk in cardboard box in car, dispose of glove, drive to the Peak District with clean hands for some exercise.
Been out walking round and about Redford and Colinton Road for my hours walk most nights. Amazed at how many drivers are tearing about driving well above the speed limit because the roads are so quiet. Seen a couple in particular on Redford Road going onto Dreghorn Link, obviously going for a 'spin' on the Bypass. Mental.
As someone who lives close to the bypass these petrol heads are fair cashing in on the quiet traffic.
Typically, they involve small neat little motors with extended exhaust kit making the most noise possible.
They are generally not bad drivers and can handle their aircraft well. Just selfish children.
All the adults on my time line who have signed up for tik tok and think they are being wacky and fun, unfriend
People that read a couple of articles about the coronavirus and then act on social media as if they are qualified to be on the board of the WHO.
Spending a week trimming a 25m long hedge (Leyland Cypress) from 5m down to 2.5m using a hedge trimmer and hand saw, then tidying up your shed afterwards and finding a chainsaw you'd completely forgotten about. :doh:
When cameras cut to the audience when showing comedy acts on stage. Why do we need to see them laughing? Just don't get it.
LinkedIn, specifically the dullards who follow and continually quote that <swear word> richard branson. As if they're being insightful and at cutting edge of business by quoting a man who would happily extract their internal organs and sell them if he could.
Two LinkedIn quotes that get right on my tits currently,
"Create your personal brand"
"Post insightful original content"
And the latest fad,
"So far during lockdown I've learned Japanese, gained 200 new clients, lost 10 stone in weight, gained a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and taught myself how to play the piano and harp, what skills are you coming out of lockdown with?!"
I have to keep myself off it now, people talk about how toxic Instagram etc can be but for me it's LinkedIn, without exaggeration it just makes me hate everyone and anyone that works in an office.
