Random Annoyances

People who spread margarine on toast, and then proceed to scrape the excess marg and all the toast crumbs back into the tub. Dirty buggers!

Guilty as charged.... [but it's spreadable butter so I suspect that is an even more heinous crime that grubby marge.. ]

Fat, dirty, disease-ridden pigeons, shitting all over our nice town centres.

Come on now Paul, don't hold back, say what you think.....

People in supermarkets who you 'give way' to in the narrow aisle who then just sweep through without even so much as a glance in your direction....

People who speed up so they can follow the above..... gits.

Those same people a few minutes later pushing heavy trolleys with one hand and a phone in the other saying: "Well, they haven't got fresh tomatoes, shall i get tinned or do you want [blahblahblah]........." What the hell did they do before mobiles???

Dickheads with REALLY LOUD STEREOS pumping out rap with all their windows down.....

Cyclists on the pavement who don't give a toss.....

Car drivers on roundabouts who don't give a toss for the 'priority from the right" rule....

Pedestrians who step spontaneously into the road a few feet away from the zebra crossing and expect you to read their tiny minds...

People who cross streets in a diagonal fashion, thus taking much longer to cross and you never know where they will end up...

Clothes that don't confirm to standard sizes i.e 12, 14, 16 so you end up buying a size 20, 22 or 24 which still doesn't really fir properly...

Ditto above for shoes... I have pairs of size 7. 7.5, 8 and even 8.5 which are all the same actual size...

Cats that actually come back indoors to puke on the carpet...

Husbands that have selective hearing when you say: "Dishing up now" so that when you take the food into the lounge, there is still no cullery, drinks or kitchen towel to hand...

Husbands that wait til the last minute to switch from the sport they are watching whilst you are dishing up dinner, so that they spend the first 5 mins of any meal flicking through the TV channels and hoarding the pepper ["I haven't finished with it yet..." - he hasn't even started!!!]

Women/men drivers who try to be aggressive and speedy and end up looking really stupid because they don't really know what they are doing....

Male/female drivers who ARE aggressive and speedy and end up being roundly cursed in Spanish for their utter ignorance of road safety and other drivers around them.....

Those stupid 'security' numbers/letters that some websites demand of you - they are largely incomprehensible so you end up inputting any old rubbish just to get to the next option that IS legible...

People who smell....

Well, what ARE you meant to do with the excess marg / butter?

It's not so much the excess marg that bothers me, but all those burnt toast crumbs. - I suggest wiping your excess marg from the knife with a piece of kitchen towel, or simply to use less marg on the knife so that no excess remains after spreading.

That said, yesterday some bloke pulled up next to me in his huge off-road-but-on-the-road vehicle [only slightly smaller than a Securicor van] with a dog on his lap and 3 others on the bench seat all yapping like mad. His driving was so appalling, i can only conclude that the dog in his lap was actually driving as the bloke was shouting at the top of his voice at the baying hounds and was certainly not familiar with the Highway Code.....
