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 pressure on these sorts of people to look the right way must be immense, and to see on twitter, facebook and so on that people are digging you out for the things that you're most self-conscious about must be difficult.
I watched this with the missus before she went to work this morning and noted that on the metal and punk scene, nobody is slated for how they look - I mean nobody, which got me thinking, there's something to be said about how superficial the music scene has become now, where how you look is more important than the music you're making.

IMHO it shouldn’t just be ‘expected’ that a teenage girl receives thousands of messages every single day telling her she’s fat, ugly and letting her band mates down.

This isn’t just her going online “to read about herself”, it’s her personal accounts, people messaging her privately and publicly non-stop.

Fair enough, Pat.
Perhaps there is a good case for making that level of abuse, a hate crime?

Definitely, Samba. I think the police investigate the more serious comments/tweets etc (racism in particular) but it’s ridiculous what people get away with. Abuse won’t stop until there are actually consequences.

The technology has progressed faster than our tiny little minds to process, and social media is a cancer on our society I can’t see any benefits for it. Mental health is a problem in this country but you’ll never find the cure on instagram or Twitter.

People who walk down the train so they can be at the front when it reaches the station. Just chill out people it's a 20 second walk at most, it irrationally annoys me.

Personally, I have no time for Little Mix, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other s**t media platform; several irritating things in one sentence.

I did watch the programme a couple of nights ago and one interesting thing was when Jesy and the rest of them first appeared on that f**king awful show, they were all made to sign up to the social media platforms.

Sadly, all part of becoming a manufactured girl band.

FWIW, I personally thought she looked far prettier without all the make-up.

The prick that was interviewing The Cowley Brothers on Football focus. Questioning them on the lines of whether they've got the credentials to "step up" to managing a club like Huddersfield (no disrespect to Huddersfield at all).

Lampard however gets hailed as some sort of managing God even though he's gone from Derby to Chelski with no real previous experience.

Threw our parcel over the back wall and left a note in the letter box.

You'd think they'd have learnt after Leveson.
Shocking, yet sadly not surprising.

****ing scummy c****

I fail to see what the motivation is to post stories like that (apart from the obvious and cynical sales drive). Tabloid journalists have no morals (as was proven after the Levesen enquiry) but this has to be a new low. I seriously question the mentality of someone who buys this shitrag.

The amount of people like you said, who you then end up walking past once off the train on the platform.

I like the situation when a train has literally been called that second which platform it is on and you start seeing all the eager beavers start fast walking or even jogging to get to it. They then jump on the first door like the thing is going to depart in the next 30 secs. I usually then waltz past up to the empty front carriages because the train is bloody massive.
