Little things that irritate you

[sendô]

My 7 YO niece - brought up totally wrong: totally spoilt, default setting is NO!, doesn't listen to either parent, screams shouts if she doesn't get her way, divisive, vindictive, aggressive, violent, rude, abusive, pernicious, won't wash, won't clean her teeth, has to have her mum with her 24 hours a day (even when they pee - she has to be there!), has started wearing full make up: there is one way - her way or nothing - otherwise she has a total meltdown until she gets her way: all in all one evil; nasty kid.

Mum and dad see nothing to worry about, just give her everything she wants all the time and she'll grow up lovely and fine.

I loathe her and am withdrawing from her life.

I've highlighted the main problem. Give her want she wants for an easy life - so in essence a 7 year old is calling the shots. Kids need boundaries, they can't have their own way all the time or they grow up to be arseholes, sadly.

My missus has a kid sister who's 9 and whilst not as bad, generally ignores all orders to not do something etc as her mum simply laughs it off every time she's naughty and never follows through with any threats regarding discipline, therefore there is never any repercussions to her actions.

Self proclaimed exercise gurus who run bootcamps and bang on about healthy lifestyles and diets, together with preachy vegans who try to shame you into not eating meat because it's so cruel on the animals. Both of whom you know hoover up industrial amounts of Bolivian marching powder as part of their 'lifestyle'. Therefore tacitly sponsoring human trafficking, drugs mules, prostitution, gunrunning, murder, death and suffering across the globe. I find their dishonesty, self denial and hypocrisy a little irritating

Completely agree with that.

Great post TE that has to be the post of the month. But in all honestly with kids on school holiday and the summer transfer thread the bar wasn't set that high which gets me on to my point, football fans in general just always come across on the Internet as pig headed uneducated assholes the minority of course but unfortunately the minority end up clogging up most of the forums and Twitter timelines.

trick88 Barking Iron. Just like to point out they don't bang on and preach at me, not anymore anyway. I have this tendency to call out bull when it makes itself visible. Doesn't go down too well with the source though. You're right BI. A case in point, the summer transfer thread is especially unreadable this year. I just bookmark the ITK's post archives and do a quick reccy every now and then. Saves time and preserves your sanity.

Footballers all bleaching their hair this summer.

Ramsey, Dani Alves went silver at the last world cup too, Borini and now Messi. I'm pretty sure I saw Arnautovic with it too, with that **** top knot.

Fellaini was the worst one, if I was one of his teammates I'd shave it all off in his sleep. bunch of tarts.
Messi you look like bloody Abel Xavier.

Shocking look.

Shocking look.

Corrected for you........

That's due to the flatlining of the economy. CD blames BREXIT.

OK, this is going to be boring - but it was a little thing that irritated me. At work when we are driving, we have to 'follow headway'. What that means is, we are supposed to stay a set distance away from the bus ahead of you. We have a display in our cab that shows our headway. It looks something like: I_I_I_I_>_I_I_I_I.

The middle bit is where we are supposed to be. Each bar represents around two minutes when you're running a ten minute headway (Gap). Above represents a perfect headway - the arrow slap-bang in the middle.

Anyway, I got held back on my last round today by three minutes for headway from the bus in front, which annoyed me in itself, as I hate leaving late. However, when I got to the third timing point, when the display updates, I then found my arrow was on the one but last line on the left - which means the bloke ahead is now 16 minutes ahead of me when he should be ten - and as a result, I now have six minutes worth of extra passengers to pick up, thus making me later and later, while the bloke in front is having an easy trip and he is doing sod all work. The main thing that irritated me, is the controller was happy to see me running late and doing the work, whilst completely ignoring the fact the bloke ahead is now 4 minutes early.

May not sound much, but it was a little thing that REALLY irritated me.

And I did say it was going to be boring...

The cost of places to go during the school holidays.

For my family, to go to:

London Zoo - £95
London Aquarium - £93
Madame Tussauds - £134.50
Longleat - £126,80
London Dungeons - £116.80
HMS Belfast -£56

Ridiculous.

[Mega Ron]

Most of those are rubbish anyway.

Do the 'free' stuff like the NHM and the Science museum.

That's the plan but it would be nice to go somewhere different

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

Depending on the ages of the sprogs, the Imperial War Museum has to be near the top of the list.

I haven't got kids, but I find that astonishingly expensive for any family. Ridiculous.

My first port of call would be the museums (Natural History/Science/V&A/British) -- loads to see, interesting, and educational. My favourite places as a kid in the holidays. Just don't eat at the cafes!

[hammerdivone]

A fairly low cost option is to download the treasure hunt app Huntzz http://www.huntzz.com/treasure-hunters. ... 52tlrgrLIU and do a few of these.

Some of them are in the museums so you can kill two birds with one stone!
