Dinnae think there's anything wrong with couples going to gym together but that's taking it too far!! 🤢

Hotel room tea bags with the string and wee cardboard tab.
No matter how you try , the wee cardboard tab always ends up in the cup with the boiling water.
You start pouring the water and the wee tab climbs up the cup and in before it can be caught.

Not if you wrap it around the handle of the cup/mug

Nuisance phone calls.
However, I notice that my BT phone is advising me of a 1572 number I can use to block calls.
About time too.

Bars that are presented as barber shops.

It's not a ****ing barber shop, it's a bar. Just bloody well say so.

Animal charity adverts on tv - dogs, cats, donkeys etc, there was even one for bees on a wee while ago!

Also 'celebs' who are millionaires pleading with Joe public to donate. For some unknown reason this just rattles my cage.

Think Terry Wogan getting £70k for hosting Children In Need.

Allergies: suffered a few different ones in my time but just got on with it, even when asking a colleague administer an EpiPen jab,,,,proper frustrated though when you board a plane and are told no nuts or even chocolate due to another passenger having allergies also.
Seems to be a lot more prevalent these days!

And your chair and monitor are both at the wrong height and there's a half empty Costa cup on your desk along with some scone crumbs.

Or when you go back and there's things that could have been dealt with but they have been left for a week because half your office are workshy wasters.

Time you got a new job I think ;)

[Scouse Hibee]

People who keep everything to themselves so they can take credit and then when they realise they can't actually deliver on the task they are experts at delegating close to the deadline to avoid blame. Boy in my work is a master at this or at least he thinks he is.

Why is it that hymn music is always written half an octave higher than the average Joe Blow's natural register?

Found it

People at work who don't share their knowledge.
I work with a small group and knowledge sharing is commonplace due to the faults and predicaments we find.
We have one wnak who just doesn't do this. He'll never give a full answer so he can swan in and save the day.
Utter fandan.

You're practically talking about me, but I'm no a fandan so it must be my doppelganger!?!
I work in a technical field, within a small group, I'd say team but we're anything but. I come in half an hour before my shift to sort my workload then research what I need to know, do my job best I can then invariably leave late. The rest start late, ask questions all day then leave early. This all goes unchallenged as the work that needs to be done, is.
I find it very difficult to understand how someone who has 10 years on me in the job thinks it's alright to be spoon fed how to do their job!
But it's OK, Speedy-G will take care of it :-)

I feel the need to explain

In my scenario there are 4 of us covering UK and beyond.
We sometimes get called to one another's site as a fresh pair of eyes.
If I fix a problem in their area , I will always detail the fault and solution and send it to everyone so they can refer to the information in the future and make their own decision.
This guy keeps most of that to himself but is quick enough to ask for it from others.

He also makes out that he has saved the day when he swans in with a configuration on a memory card that really should have been shared previously. All these systems are completely bespoke so there is not a standard configuration.

I have had to drive to Peterboroug just to find that he hadn't left the configuration on a PC and rather than email it , he drove up from London.

So it's not a case of laziness on my part wanting to be spoon fed.
It's about good grace and manners and a willingness to work towards the greater good.

He's no team player and is indeed a fandan.

Folk who crush a plastic fizzy juice bottle a little before tightening the lid so it stays crushed.

Family members who open a new block of cheese , use it and just fold the wrapper , badly, around the end.

Hmmm, that's what you're supposed to do before sticking it in your recycling bin!

What ? :

Not totally crushed flat but squeezed in the middle.
Exactly how it would look if some mank had opened the bottle , held it in the middle, and closed it while still holding in the middle.
A bit hour glassy if you like.

Worse still is if they leave it on the bunker like that and it pops back into shape when you are not expecting it.

I can't believe that I'm the only person that is annoyed by this :
