Covid ads in general.
It's like they think we are all a bunch of thickos who need to be spoken to on 'our level'.

Unfortunately you cant do three or four adverts depending on intellect. In a GB population factoring in who is watching the telly, you have to go to the lowest common denominator (or Sun readers) if I can display some prejudice. The basic message is still "Dont be a dick"

My problem with Jane Godley is her type of humour is the type that everyone knows deep down is horrendously pish but weegies force themselves to laugh their heads of at it because it's Glaswegian and therefore it HAS to be funny.

Glasgow was famously the toughest audience for many comedians. Morcombe and Wise often got a hard time. My favourite anecdote was about Mike and Bernie Winters. Some on this board might have to google them. Mike opened the show solo and was dying on his erse, Bernie came on to silence, broken by a lone voice"Christ, there's two of them..."

Folk who announce on social media that going out with their wife is a “date night”

Only made even worse when they call it a “Cheeky wee date night”

Aaaargghh!!! Cheeky wee anything is extremely cringeworthy. Was exclusively weedgie when I lived in Scotland but probably spreading like the virus.

Absolutely spot on. Lost count of the number of total half-wits promoted beyond their capabilities because they had a good education/degree.

Have we met?

Businesses that quote a price to the public without VAT.

Especially ones that don’t tell you this until the bill arrives.

Whilst taking a tight turn in a multi storey car park in a hire car you refused to take the excess insurance on 😡

Trying to find highlights of last night's match only to click on to a home made Subbuteo version.

Who would bother making that and why ?

Guilty as charged, I did the exact same thing in March.

From the inside of the car it sounded like I'd barely tapped the wall, when I got out and looked at the damage it looked as if I'd been in a destruction derby.

Kay Burley, I've never been a fan but listening to her whistling through her new set of gnashers is simply intolerable.

People moaning about paper straws from McDonald's, take the lid off and drink your coke like a bloody adult.

Is it? I didn't think it was...

Thought it was one of those ones you're allowed to do but if it results in dangerous driving you get done for that.

Meant to have both hands free to control the vehicle, same as having a phone to your ear, it's distracting you whilst driving. TBH the police very seldom stop you for it but as you say you'll only get done for dangerous driving if you have an accident.

Older people who jump the queue and their attitude when they get pulled up for it.

My dad and i got a ticking off from US Homeland Security in Newark airport a few years ago for pulling up an older Scottish couple on the same flight home as us for exactly this. They tried giving us a deaf ear as they tried to slide their way into the queue, until they ended up with us standing right behind the, (as they still worked on getting into the queue), and eventually shuffled down the line towards the end

homeland security weren’t too chuffed at us being quite firm and vocal that they older couple should stop being ignorant and join the queue like everyone else

Washing machine packed in. Replacement bring put in on Monday but needed a load done so took it to the laundrette.

Five quid to stick a load into a machine for a twenty minute cycle! Extortionate.

Expiry dates on food and medicine. I can spend a few minutes turning the item round and round to find it only to then struggle to read it usually when it is indented onto the item instead of printed in a different colour to the packaging.

I'm sure there's a reason for it but packaging that has 'for best before see.....'

Or you could have just printed it here.

Totally! You always find that part first.

Then eventually find the date printed really faintly in a colour and size of font that makes it almost impossible to decipher!
