People who think that they're witty and interesting when they're anything but

Anyone in mind Supes? 

Oh yes! 

worse.... corner shop keepers who talk on the phone all the time they serve you - taking money, putting stuff in a bag and giving change all with one hand without a word of hello or thanks.   I've got two shops near me where that happens.

Oh . . . and the self righteous

Unfunny radio DJ's, breakfast radio shows in this country are the worst.

Try this Moonie, go into the shop, grab a basket, put in as many items as you can carry. When you get to the checkout and he is on his phone, let him start checking out your items, ensure you allow him to reach the last two items in your basket at which point you turn away and walk out the shop.

He will be left with no sale and a load of items which he needs to restock. Oh and correct the till.

Now, you have to agree that is worth doing to vent your frustrations with them 

Edit: I had a friend who left a full trolley of food near the checkouts in TESCO when there were massive queues and hardly any assistants. He tried asking floor walkers for help but they did not respond so he pushed his trolley to the front at which point he left the building.

 love it 

Glad you like it Moonie. I can have an evil streak in me sometimes.

How adverts play perfectly online.

 . . . and then the programme you want to watch buffers and stalls (every time)

But they're not really the people who could help are they? He should have gone to talk to the store manager and talk about their staffing problems instead of creating a load more work for people he could see were already understaffed and overworked

They could have helped him out by alerting a supervisor for him (most supermarkets advertise how helpful they and their staff are!) as it would have been difficult to push a full trolley around a store looking for someone you have no idea who they are and where they may be.

So I would actually say that they were the people who could have helped. I could not say whether they were understaffed or overworked, just that on that day the tills were very poorly managed.

Yes, it's a bit more work, but sometimes a "protest" is needed.

The way we are spoon-fed a constant diet of Kerry Katona and Katie Price!!! 

People (even if they are dear friends like one was cursing earlier today) who booby trap their Christmas cards so when you open them (after you've just finished hoovering ) you shower the floor with little foil stars and snowflakes

Now - i like Jeanette Winterton - the recent biog was great but . . .

The other day there was a short piece on poems, Jeanette offered her view.

She said and i kid you not - she said,

"Poems should be read out loud in front of a mirror so the reader can see how it affects them as they read."

WTF !!!!

ALL unfunny DJ's are awful,  but breakfast shows (IMO) are the worst, they have the unfunniest of the unfunny DJ's in the world, all shouting out their weak jokes over the top of eachother, all craving attention and all very loud...can't stand them.

Where did this trend of having multi presenters on breakfast shows start? I blame Chris Evans.

I loved Chris Evans back in the day and still like him now - I listen to Radio 2 on the way to work, but I listen to Absolute Radio in the house before I leave.  I think the banter's hilarious.

 oh dear.

I just want a quiet DJ playing nice songs on the radio, nice and calm.

you're 90 aren't you?     i thought you'd be a fan since you were quoting Christian O'Connell's tweets last night.

No, I actually hate that guy, wasn't he the one who insulted David Jason on his show once because he didn't like a joke David Jason told.?

Someone else quoted a tweet that he posted, so i had a quick look at his twitter account.

I have one of those and I now open all her cards over the sink

I hate people who lick their knife /fork /spoon.

Soz, could not resist  

Anyone who needs a hearing aid but refuse to wear them.

And then leave it up to everyone else to put in the effort . . . by shouting til they're hoarse

That glue that dries on yer fingers and you spend more time peeling it off than sticking stuff

when the need to differentiate from bus stations arose?

That's my granda

One that I noticed recently: kids on scooters. More specifically, kids on scooters in places where they just shouldn't be. School run? Fine. Walking along the pavement, possibly to the park? Fine. Scooting around Waitrose? No Scooting along Oxford Street on the busiest xmas shopping weekend of the year? You think I'd be making the last one up right, but I saw 3 I think... It was heaving, what were the parents thinking?! I have noticed all kids seem to have those scooters now - are they born with them, they appear to be hermetically sealed to them These ones:

Not experienced the scooter thing.

BUT

Pushchairs - mainly double ones in the height of the rush hour.

I know some  can't avoid taking the baby but some use it as a legitimate battering ram making everyone scatter.

Don't they have a friend who could baby-sit for an hour?

I should explain that I was listening to R5 and someone kept using the term "Train station!"

In my day it was called a "Railway station."

Steve Wright   Annoying twat!

you think if they did they wouldn't use them? Taking a baby/toddler into a crowded town shopping is no easy thing, people barge past you, most shops don't leave enough room for pushchairs to be pushed around easily.

Ahh.. get your point.
