I'm browsing various clothing sites for new jeans, why are the majority of jeans that are available of the skinny variety??? When I do find a pair that are straight fitting they don't have my size!!!

Can't go wrong with Levi's.

[Scouse Hibee]

Jeans that are designed as ripped often in tatters, they look ridiculous.

Amen!

It it drives me up the wall looking for jeans or trousers and everywhere is stowed with skinny/slim/super skinny/tapered, with maybe a couple of normal styles

I get there are other styles that folk may like but don't forget about those who don't like them and flood the market with the skinny tight fitting rubbish.

Agree! That’s something that has always left me a little bemused as to why folk like to wear them.

Exactly! It seems like a lot of places stock almost exclusively for folk who want the skinny style, which ain’t all of us

The fact that almost every attraction that has animals now seems to have a spider of some description. I have an almost crippling fear of spiders, I can handle the little ones in the house but things like tarantulas, hunstman etc bring on a fear that verges on a panic attack. We took the bairn to a farm park a few weeks back. They had pigs, sheep, cows, donkeys, chickens, horses etc. In other words things you would expect to see on a farm. Then in a back room they had a Chilean Rose Tarantula. Likewise Deep Sea World and the St Andrews Aquarium both have a selection of the horrible ****ing beasts. Why? When did tarantulas live on English farms or in the sea? If I go to Butterfly & Insect World, a zoo or an Amazonia type exhibition then I'd expect a spider or 2 and would either avoid going or be prepared for it. However this obsession with having spiders at random attractions leaves me on edge the whole time and I can't enjoy myself.

In a similar vein people who say moronic things like 'it's behind glass', 'it can't hurt you' or 'it's more scared of you than you are of it'. I'm not scared of it hurting me. They just freak me out; I find the way they look and move creepy and when I see them I get the sensation of things crawling on my skin.

...and you can be sure to find said female in every photo in every newspaper in late June/early July.

Folk travelling on low cost airlines who look down their nose at everything from peoples choice of cloths, crying children, other people daring to put luggage in the same overhead compartment as theirs and the airlines choice of items to sell
Had one such couple on our easy jet flight to Tenerife, behaving like lord and lady muck but still choosing to travel with the peasants.

Apparently shorts and tee shirts are for when you are on holiday, not for travelling to your holiday!!

And more than likely sporting a set of glitter boobs!

That's a medical condition nowadays, it's called Festival Tit, for girls it consists of glittery boobs and faces, with a rotting wristband hanging off their arm 8 months afterwards.

For men it's permenant sunburn and a backwards baseball cap and sunglasses.

They're a bit passé now I think. Doesn't stop thunderthighs ladies wearing them. What a sight!

Going to the supermarket and coming back without the main thing that you went there for in the first place even though its written clearly at the top of the list.

[Bangkok Hibby]

The BBC

That's probably enough but why do they have to CONTINUALLY send the weather wifey to Wimbledon when that's on. Or Ascot in a silly hat when that's on. Or send a reporter to some school to watch a pre picked schoolgirl open her A level results.
Change the record!!

Being sent to the shops and being told get 'the nice ham' but you can't ask what one that is as you should know, even if you never really eat the ham. Which results in an argument as you obviously got the wrong ham. Or being given a list like this
Eggs
Milk
Bread
Apple's/pears/bananas
Juice
Cheese

Obviously I should have got all 3 fruits on the list and the / doesn't mean 'or'. And again, your not allowed to request they just list it like every other product. Cause that would be hard wouldn't it.

Retired people clogging up the supermarket at the weekend. You’ve had all week to go!

People who treat the supermarket as some sort of social club. Stop blocking the aisles and go and be a bunch of sweetie wives at the coffee shop, please!

To add to this:

folk who push the trolley from the side

Folk who turn their trolley perpendicular in the aisle

when you’re looking at something or for something, and someone comes along who decides they want to stand where you are, but don’t say excuse me, they just stand very close to you and huff and puff to try to get you to move

people who park in the drop off area out of sheer laziness

folk who takes ages to leave the till after they’ve paid

Oh yes, especially the last point. Even worse when the till assistant starts scanning your shopping at high speed before the straggler last customer has left.

Air travel. There’s nothing positive about the whole experience other than it gets you to your destination. Endless queuing and endless waiting, before being charged a fortune if you want to buy anything. The bar in Glasgow Airport this morning was charging £5.75 for a bacon roll.

We just flew from Newcastle and paid 7 quid a bacon roll. I didn't even check the menu for prices just said 2 bacon rolls, a latte, a pint and a apple juice 27 quid odd.

Folk, mostly on Twitter it has to be said, that don’t understand things do so questions, don’t get the answer, and then argue about it.

They seem to be able to get the wrong end of the stick consistently.

The validation culture of Social Media.

Social media was great at the start, a good way to keep up with long distance friends and genuinely share life moments.

Now the level of narcissism is off the charts, the bragging, the millions of photos screaming "LOOK AT HOW FANTASTIC MY LIFE IS", "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LIKE MY PHOTOS".

No one can have an experience or live a moment without broadcasting it to the world for validation, and the worst part is people buy into this bollox and instead of calling out the BS they are fully paid up members of the circle jerk of likes crew.

I honestly don't understand why people say ***** like Instagram is "inspirational" when they know 99% of it is photoshopped bollox.
