Smart phones, well... not in themselves as such but some persons usage of them. 

 

People who sit engrossed on them (facebook no doubt) in company, find that quite rude even if it's not intentional. 

 

Also people who walk along the street oblivious to their surroundings, had a few people walk out in front of my car because obviously whatever was happening on faceplook was more important than paying attention to their surroundings. 

 

There's a time and place is all I'm saying. 

 

While I'm having a good old rant... drivers who don't use indicators... grrr... 

 

Annoys me just thinking about it. 

 

<-- takes deep breath and counts to 10.

Hello CG lovely to see you again

 

Oh mobiles and people engrossed in them - i hate it, soooo ignorant.

My sister is one.

Will she heck turn her text alert off.

And i betcha all she's getting is,

"THere's a sale on at Primark"

I saw someone walk straight through a big puddle the other day because they were engrossed in their phone It was such a big puddle that his ankles got wet

Was that in Gloucester? - was it Doctor Foster by any chance? He's always doing that

 

I believe I have had a rant on the same subject CO. One of my current pet hates too.

 

As a mainly pedestrian, far too many people walk at pace toward me their faces buried in their smartphones. I do try to bump into them now and by and large they apologise realising they are doing something really rather stupid.

 

As for driving, there is far too much poor examples of none courteous driving.

 

Jumping red lights, use of mobile in the vehicle, parking on paths, none indication, speeding, sitting in a box junction...

 

 

 

 

 

 

The BBC highlighted it last week in an article, but I have noticed it more and more over the last year, what is it you ask?

 

So, I will explain.

 

So, It's the number of people who start a sentence with the word "SO".

 

I have noticed on BBC Breakfast that some people manage to do it it the vast majority of their sentences. It's annoying and becoming as annoying as people who overuse the word "like". Oh abd people who seem to want to pronounce the word "drawing" with an extra "r" - drawring !!! 

 

 

 

"The BBC has learned"

 

"The BBC understands that ..."

 

What is that all about???

These and also British people who say 'hating on' and 'do the math' are jolly annoying, too

Many many 'Americanisms'

 

"My bad"  Grrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!

 

Let's do the 'math' ?

 

 

On April 25th

 

Its April THE 25th . . . not everything is a bloody bullet point

Why are news programmes thanking me for watching?

 

Our local news just said,

" . . .and thanks for your company"

 

What?

The insincerity   

 

You do know that they can see you too

 

 

This woman

 

I hate her - that stupid stupid stupid voice

If I saw her I would hit her

There - said it

 

And chillax

Wouldn't hit her really 

 

I might tell her off in my 'never to be lost' teachy voice 

Take her off your Christmas card list?

Another vote for the 'phone ringing whilst I'm painting the ceiling. Financial advice nuisance calls.

 

General, non-specific stuff.

 

 

Aren't they all?

B f'ing T - I think they run their systems on a lawn mower.

 

2 months I've been trying to get a broadband line in my flat

Websites that make you prove you're not a bot

 

 

 

Stuck in traffic from Bannockburn to Dunblane for one half hours!!!! no bliddy signs to inform us in advance of the road works ahead .Called traffic scotland and had a rant .!!!

  

Knock knock knock - can we count on your vote this coming ELCETION !!!

 

Grrr - never to see them again !!!

 

 . . . which oddly never happened this year - not a single canvasser

 

Football

 

Now don't get me wrong I like my football but what I dislike is all the World Cup advertising. It's pretty much all one big cliche. The adverts are nothing new and I particularly hate the ones which try to be dramatic with a rousing soundtrack and usually accompanied with a voice over of 'considered words' or even worse having a current player mouthing the words - cringe

 

 

*agrees with EC*

I don't think I have picked up on that one. Although having suffered years of hype surrounding the Premiership, I'm probably immune.
If we speak of adverts and cliché then C5 during neighbours. That Emma one and the horse-faced twat done up in faux military wear.

I don't like the term "fake!" Never have done! No idea why .

Loud barbecues. I am currently having to endure awful singing and passable acoustic guitar playing from the neighbours in the next street whose garden backs onto mine. Just hope it's not going to be an all-nighter.

Yep! This hype needs to stop now! 

Celebrity endorsements

 

Do you really think I would eat that yoghurt cos you do?? 

*runsssssssssssssssssssss*

Since you ask, I get through several tubs of Morrisons natural yoghurt per week. Especially now while cherries are in season. I'm a trendmonger and you may follow me if you wish.

 

There is an England footballer currently having a Subway his way, they are pushing the health angle.

 

What they don't mention is the HUGE amounts of salt in a Subway sandwich.

 

Mmmmmm Healthy.

 

 

 

It funny because I used to shop at Morrisons, but the minute they engaged Dec & Ant in their adverts I stopped.

 

Have you noticed how their shares have dropped ?

 

 

The constant pushing of negativity in all things.

 

Soaps, news, gossip mags etc ...

 

It seems to have become our culture - of moaning and groaning about life in general

Doors that open outwards into the street

 

It's just not right

(I've never seen The Ant 'n Dec in Morrisons, but I think they are down South somewhere)

Especially if they hit you in the mush
