1. When the toilet roll's 2 ply papers are out of phase
For fuck sake people, if you notice this somewhere - someone's house, a workplace, a public toilet - just unwrap the top layer one revolution to get the perforations to line up again. At my work it seems like about a full quarter of the time it is out of phase, and not just on new rolls which may start like this. What dickwad wankers out there are so ball achingly retarded as to fuck this up?
2. There is an obstruction in a car lane, someone scoots up the empty lane, indicates in to bunk the queue and the person in front of you lets them in
Oh my cunty god, if someone walked up the side of a queue of people and said "can I get in here?" you would laugh and tell them to fuck off to the back of the queue. What's the difference? Of course people will do what they can get away with, and I will often be that person cutting in, so I don't blame that person - I blame the person who lets them in. When I get let in I certainly don't wave thanks etc. because I don't want to encourage that kind of inconsiderate behaviour.
Arrogant, intellectually dishonest, smug, illogical (all religions except mine of course), judgmental... Apparently meekness is a virtue, and questioning your religion is a sin. They don't even know what they believe; try trying them down on the specifics of whether we have souls, or what heaven is like, or whether prayer really works (and how that fits with god having an all-knowing perfect plan). They think I am disrespectful if I question some bullshit they believe. They believe shit that affects their everyday life but haven't even bothered to do the most basic fact-checking.
Basically they are puppet muppets. I could go on, and have done in other posts.
4. New parents
Is it a rat? |
No, your excitement/pride/happiness will not rub off on me. No, I certainly do not want to see pictures - a newborn baby resembles a baby rodent and is not beautiful. No, I do not want to hear about how I should have one of my own. No, I do not care what weight the little sucker was when she squeezed it out. Just no. Piss off.
5. Cricket
Dullest sport in the world; goes on for days and you don't even know who's winning.
Only acceptable use: bashing zombies |
6. People who don't know when to single-click, and when to double click
I guess this is a sub-set of a larger annoyance of mine: other people. It's getting harder and harder to find people who aren't annoying. Being trapped in a situation where some dull twatcum is attempting to small-talk with me really is one of the few times I will be deliberately rude even if allows the mask to slip in front of someone when I would rather it didn't.
7. Hearing an American say "spit" instead of "spat"
Although I am a bit of what's commonly known as a grammar nazi, I normally I don't really get very upset about grammar, punctuation, spelling, or Americanisms - I know not everyone is as observant, intelligent, or has had the education that I have. But, for some unknown reason, 'spit' as the past tense of 'spit' really gets my goat. It spoils the otherwise great song "My Way", which sounds so much better when it is "I ate it up and spat it out, I faced it all and I stood tall... and did it myyyyyyy waaaaay".
