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.

People who call 999 for non emergencies. Even more so when they are critical about the response they receive.

I hate freeloaders or people that spend money as soon as they get it and then moan that they have no money and plead broke.
And it usually plays out like that on social media.

Getting a sandwich or burger or some such and they put it on a plate with the serviette UNDERNEATH the bloody thing so the serviette gets messy and then you've got to ask for another one and they give you one of "those" looks.

I'm open to suggestions - how the f*** else do you get the police involved in a situation where a nob-head is deliberately obstructing an emergency vehicle?

Alternate approach would have been to drag him out of the car and give him a kicking, I suppose - which is what would probably have happened if he'd tried the same tactic in a less genteel area

People who set up crowdfunding pages.

Especially those who do it for themselves.

I have been trying for a week to get my phone to sound when I have an email or reminders etc...

It used to do it but stopped last week.

I had been into every bloody setting and screen I could find and turned on things and changed settings etc... but still no good it would only vibrate but no sound.

I just discovered................I had put it on silent last week ffs.

Still the transfer thread.

Also.... college kids working in Wickes.

ME: "Where's the mortar plasticiser, mate?"

HIM: [blank stare]

ME: "Errrm, ok, where's your cement dye or patio cleaners gone? They used to be here"

HIM: "You want to build a patio?"

ME: "No, and it's LAY a patio. I'm looking for all the bottles - mostly yellow bottles - that used to be here [points at blank shelving next to bags of cement]"

HIM: [blank stare]

ME: "Yellow bottles???? HERE??? [points again]"

HIM: "We've sold out".

ME: "Of what?"

HIM: "Yellow bottles"

ME: "Oh forget it"

Plasticiser found in aisle 6.

I muttered my first "don't know ya f*cking born". I'm officially a middle-aged grump :scarfer:

Well the cap fits!

I think I might go back, hang around until his shift finishes, and then mug him for every gram of dirty weed he has.

The “just popped in for transfer rumours” comment on the transfer thread followed inevitably by the grandpa Simpson gif.

Mods feel free to delete

You are Andy Carroll, take the rest of the season off.

Probably Plantar fascitis.

Wear shoes with arch support.

Roll your foot backwards and forwards on a tennis ball.

Stretch your calf muscles
