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.

Why do any of you watch TV adverts? In this day and age you can easily avoid them. It's actually fairly easy to watch whatever you want without a TV licence at all. You don't even need to break any laws.

The annoying thing is that all of these people believe that there are two ways of pronouncing it.

There aren't, "haytch" is not acceptable and is only used by those who were in the slow readers class at school :lol:
I was taught to pronounce it "haytch" when using a radio as it apparently sounds clearer, though obviously more likely to use the Phoentic Alphabet.

Some of the ridiculous questions proposed for the David Gold Q&A.

People who list each meal they eat, every day, in the breakfast and/or dinner thread.

Fat people on trains.
People on trains that feel they need to expand their legs into the adjacent seat.
People who take ages in meetings saying not a lot and wasting my time.
People who don't do what they told you they would do.
Tight people.
People who say something that isn't funny, and then say it again just in case you didn't hear it.

The Mrs leaving the landing light on pretty much every day. Drives me up the feckin' wall.

Got home last night to to find yet again she had done it - despite me leaving a subtle [HAVE I LEFT THE LIGHT ON?] post it at the bottom of the stairs last week.

When she got home last night she went upstairs and then shouted out that the bulb had blown......if she had looked in the light shade she'd have seen there is no bulb in there anymore............................childish? me?

On TV or in films when a copper wants to catch a suspect and they shout "Oi, you! Stop!", allowing said villain time to turn, see the police are after them and run away. Why wouldn't you just sneak up on them?

People on the tube on the seat next to you who pick a paper off their seat, or behind their seat, and when finished turn round and put it behind you.

I don't want your smelly, crappy paper rubbing off on me, put it back where you found it you moron.

Not a little thing by any means...

Caught a programme on Channel 5 just now called Big Body Squad following around paramedic crews who specialise in treating huge fat greasy bastards and their big fat ugly faces.

Look at the state of some of them. There's this one enormous sweaty rhinoceros who is 54 poxy stone and hasn't left his house in 10 years! And the stretcher isn't wide enough to get through his door. f*** him, I'd have left the sweaty twat lying on the floor, let him slim by crawling to the fridge for once. ****.

And look at this bitch! 40 bloody stone, "oh waaah waaah my lardy chair has broken I need a new one". 3k the ruddy council have paid so this heffer can plonk her postcode harris on it!! Madness, let her walk around for a bit for a bloody change. Moose.

"I'm nervous of being hoisted, not because of you".... unreal, so even with a whole camera crew in front of her this shameless porker doesn't give a **** about being a burden for being an expert with her pie arm. ARGH! :evil:

I f****** hate that.
We all feel your pain there.
Along the pizza lines ; When your get your pizza out of the oven and try and remove it from the tray to plonk it down onto your plate, but it doesn't work like that, the pizza has to get stuck on the tray and it rips appart when try to remove the b*stard. Annoying that.

The thing that gets me is that these lard arses can't move or haven't left home for so long which means some twat is feeding them. Buy them salads instead of burgers and they might be able to lose some weight

It's not Haitch in that scenario, it would be Aitch for Hotel.
