Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

The company is CEL, though I think these firms change their name often, the charge notice is cunningly (?) called a PCN and has a logo on it that looks very similar to one used by the Court Service.

Yes that is the place that I have a standard letter from, they claim 100% success but I'm always dubious of anyone who claims that.

On checking I aim to reply with an amended standard letter, not only pointing out that they're on very dodgy ground as the law goes but also that the sign is in an unlit location which the driver could not possibly be expected to see and as the driver was dropping off a club member they were entitled to park there, The paragraph about charging them an hourly rate for my having to deal with their spurious claim is very good. :thup:

Peole that dash into the lift when the doors are 3 quarters shut.

Just wait for the next one you c****

Then they without fail always press 1st or 2nd floor

These people are only beaten for being c**** by the people that press the lift call button when the doors have actually just shut, knowing full well it will reopen .Aaaargh

It's a product?

I thought it was a sayin' that some silly bitch with too much money and make-up once said, so other silly birds with too much make-up decided to say.

It's a motto for dull people and consequently a tattoo for them as well.

Posters that do a post that's an utter load of drivel, then add :crest: at the end of it as if it makes their knee-jerk, useless point all the more proper.

Just f*ck off will you.

...and while I'm in rant mode.

Tossers on motorways and dual carriageways in the driving rain and spray with no f*cking lights on.

I overtook a car on my weekly jaunt to Essex and back this afternoon, and had to take avoiding action due to a pale blue Focus to my right with no lights on and almost completely invisible in the spray.

It wasn't until he was almost along side me that I actually saw the c*nt.

And why was it without exception, including the Focus, every car I saw on the A2 today with no lights was being driven by an African? :?

Me, and Audi, left my passenger door window open all night and yes it pissed down all night! When I press the lock button on the key fob it's meant to close all windows, it usually does.....not Saturday night! Sunday morning was spent mopping up, drive into work this morning it was shall we say still drying.

Oh, and ageing, you would have only celebrated with your boyish silly humour, that I find very amusing, so yes, I missed out on that as well, damn you and your age.....

:shock: .......
Now I'm in no way a violent man, but that stuff makes you want to commit violent acts...

Punch, kick, pummel is how it makes me feel

There's a shop in our village that has tons of them. All the windows are festooned with cringey clichéd bollox, painted on a shitty sign, shabby chic shyte, ie a piss-poor paint job. Oh do f*** off you sad mindless w!nkers...

It's all the dance like nobody's watching, live your life like it's heaven on earth b*llocks... we also get a load of "surf" related clichés...

Everytime I'm sat at the lights outside that shop I think to myself that I'm going to make my own sign, and nail it to their window.
Saying something like...

Life
Is about using your own mind,
not blindly following,
sad clichés,
painted badly,
on shitty hardboard,
sold in shops,
for pretentious w!nkers

I get where you're coming from with all these, there is the odd one that makes me smile but I can't understand anyone wanting to see them every day. For example "For all anybody else knows we are a normal family" raised a smile the first time, but why would you actually buy it?
