Pet Peeves IV

[CloudSquall]

Rental agencies who are robbing *******s when it comes to giving back the deposit, imaginary problems costing 4x as much as what you would expect them to cost.

Spelling the "F'ing" word "F'ken" (you get the gist, swear filter won't let me type exactly what I mean )

[Hermit Crab]

Stopped in at Asda for some cold and flu tabs to help me shift this cold for Thursday and couldn't believe the amount of panic buying going on. The shop is closed for one day offs...

Nothing - and I mean nothing - winds me up more than when you let someone past on a narrow street or a doorway and they don't even give as much as a smile, never mind a thank you.

I now shout "YOU'RE VERY WELCOME!" as loudly as I feel brave enough to do.

I'm no prude with language but the F word in general really annoys me. It's everywhere and it never needs to be.

If I'm having a stressful moment or find something exceptionally hilarious/painful/cringeworthy/breathtaking, then it deserves that moment. You hear it left, right and centre out and about and it really has started to irritate me.

Heard a mother with a pram on the phone outside the Wellgate centre in Dundee shouting "You're ****ing right by the ****ing way" - adds nothing to the sentence or the meaning and sets a terrible example to the young one.

I really hate that word.

Just plain bad manners gets right on my tits. Saying “morning” or “hiya” in the village can be a lottery but I’ve managed to filter out the dobbers who will ignore you.

I had a woman just let the door go in my face at M&S in Perth on Sunday, She was left in no doubt how I felt about it. #grumpyoldman

It's filled to capacity at least once a year. There is a Jehova witness convention every year. 😁

Standard behaviour in the Netherlands, I learnt their word for "you're welcome" just so I could turn and scream it at them like a mentalist.

I then moved to France and pretty much broke down in tears at the first "merci" I received when I let someone past first.


If only everyone knew manners cost nothing..

Politicians, journalists etc on Twitter who are currently writing "signing off for the Xmas period.." etc as if writing pish on Twitter is up there with being in the trenches of WW1.

The inevitable falling ill at Christmas time, every year without fail.
Sat next to an admin/planner who managed to cough/sneeze/splutter all last week before finishing early on Friday, Friday evening I get the scratchy throat.
For the last few days I've had next to zero sleep because I'm feverish and having seriously weird dreams.
Trying to load up on paracetamol but it's playing havoc with my guts,,,, feel sorry for the family as I'm going to be a grumpy nightmare later on today!

Was that Hammy passing on his cold??

FWIW I'm struck down with a stoater of a cold, blocked nose, sore throat, blocked ears. One of my eyes is weeping as well. Going to face a late fitness test for tomorrows game. Been trying to shift it since last Thursday.

Not much you can do except drink plenty water and keep warm. There's a spray called First Defence you can get which neutralises a cold before it takes hold but you have to take it early.

I've taken to washing my hands when I come into the house especially if I've been on public transport!

Folk who’ll read a story in the Sun or the Daily Mail or the Daily Record. Post about the story. Then say they won’t put up a link to it...cos it’s the Sun or the Daily Mail or the Daily Record.

Then the folk who want to read the story but won’t click on a link and go to their website. “Wouldn’t wipe my arse with that garbage...what they saying though...can someone else read it and give me the information”

I think the thought process is that news sites which don't operate behind a paywall derive much of their income from advertising revenue. No click means no revenue. Done properly I suppose it could be an online equivalent of 'Don't buy the Sun'.

Asking someone else to click the link and copy and paste it totally defeats the purpose though. You would be as well just clicking the link yourself.

TV adverts particularly from large organisations that try to show how diverse and inclusive they are and have nothing to do with the product they want you to buy.

One that particularly annoys me is the current Renault Clio advert which is a story of two girls growing up and eventually becoming a couple. How is that going to convince me to consider buying a car from them?

Dog ***** and general litter on pavements and roads.

And those ruddy Benidorm scooters!! Parked outside the boozers. See Central bar foot of walk for reference.

LinkedIn ****ers who proudly declared they were having a "digital detox" over Christmas, you can royally **** off with that pretentious patter.



****y clickbait language that has infected online media,


"we need to talk about *that* ...."
"...and you'll NEVER believe the replies"
"so that's a thing"
"...and it's so pure"

This thread is epic 👍😁. A right good laugh reading through the last few pages. Coming into peak grumpy old git years so hopefully can add a bit to it.
