Not sure if this has been said but something you see a lot online these days...People Who Capitalise Every Word In A Sentence...why????

Even worse is the current fashion of randomly using a mix of upPerCaSE AnD LowEr caSe

Probably been done to death but hate public toilets and especially hate folk who used them and don't clean up after themselves. Their houses must be bogging.

Anyway, just been for a pee and want to wash my hands. No soap, seriously in this day and age and all the advice about coronavirus.

SpongeBob SquarePants is to blame for this, apparently.

Yep, that's very annoying.

I think it's meant to suggest a lack of intelligence in the person they're mimicking but it's just bizarre.

No soap just like Easter Road.

It'S nOt RaNdOm. It's every second word.

It's to denote a daft opinion. And it belongs to a sponge on meme.

Out of interest, why do you refuse to let her use headphones? I don't think a wee kid fiddling about on a parent's phone is the likely target of this pet peeve though. It's when the adults or teenagers themselves treat the whole bus or carriage to whatever ***** they're listening to (also, they never have a decent taste in music) that wrecks my head.

Purely the volume of headphones, she doesn't put them in her ears but doesnt know how to adjust the volume yet safely. As I say, we agree to lower the volume on the phone and she understands others dont need to hear it. Work in progress.

People desperate to get off public transport first. Sit on a bus in Edinburgh and as soon as the driver has closed the doors at a stop someone is pushing the bell and up on their feet for the next stop. People will form a queue even if the bus is stuck at lights.
Trains the same, queuing at the door miles before the stop. And worst of all...planes!

You can guarantee that once I've just finished the weekly shopping and am on my way back to the car with everything on the shopping list, the wife will text me asking for something else. Does my head in.

Years ago I got the ferry to France and folk were heading back to their cars long before the boat docked.

Why does that bother you? Planes I understand, that annoys me too, but people on buses?

What about the thousands that are desperate to be first out of Easter Road every home game, they get up from their seats well before the final whistle.

Do you know it doesn't bother me at all. Other than internally laughing at them and a wee shake of the heid that's about it. More a comment on strange human behavior, so probably the wrong thread.

Indeed, another example of this (for me) slightly strange behaviour.

So not a peeve - more bemusement than anything else. That I can understand.

Why, when you’re transporting the washing from the laundry basket to the washing machine, do you always find a wee lonely smelly sock lying nearby, once the machine has been started.?

Yeah, seems strange to me on trains and planes, but I've started to do it on buses just because getting to the front uninjured can be difficult with the way the buses are driven and the state of the streets in Edinburgh.

Not only that but they start their engines five or ten minutes early. You can't drive off until the doors are open, clowns!

People who walk into Starbucks and ask for 100 modifications to a drink they want as if they are a majority shareholder.

Similarly was behind a woman at Morrison’s cafe in the Gyle, she ordered a big breakfast then spent the next five minutes or so making alterations to it which included leaving the till point to check with her partner who was seated wether he wanted ****** haggis or not!

Ha ha good point well made!

I was in a Starbucks a while ago and I’m sure someone ordered a decaf skinny oatmeal latte or something like that...I remember shaking my head wondering why they were ordering a coffee then applying everything possible to make it resemble a drink as far removed as possible from it actually being a coffee! There surely had to be something that didn’t start out as a coffee that they would actually prefer!

The erseholes who are causing a shortage on the shelves by panic stock piling, it’s absolutely ridiculous.

I was in Sainsbury’s yesterday and expected to see empty shelves. They had everything though.

I didn’t look for hand sanitiser though, I think that’s a favourite of the panic merchant just now.

A mate who’s a brickie was saying today that there’s barely any toilet paper on his site just now, he thinks folk are nicking it!

The shelves in Asda at Leith we’re bare today of toilet roll.

Entirely rational to want to visit busy supermarkets less frequently in a time of epidemic, and so entirely rational for people to bulk buy. Unless supermarkets employ more people to constantly re-stock shelves, there will be more spaces on them than usual.

The bogroll obsession does seem a bit weird though. Simply pop out to the countryside and find a dock leaf!

Bulk buy! Some folk won’t have to buy hand wash soap or toilet roll for months going by the amount they are taking, it just causes everyone else to panic in case they can’t get any and you get the domino effect, ridiculous.

Supermarkets too slow to introduce rationing then? Maybe Hancock should have suggested that to them during the extensive preparatory conversations they had?

[heretoday]

Apparently, they're nicking the hand sanitisers out of hospitals now.

People! Dontcha just love 'em?
