Random Irritations

I hate it when people stand in bridges over the motorway.
You don’t know what they’re doing there; is there an incident, are they police camera operators or are they yobs who’ll drop stuff on traffic?

Quite unnerving!

People who don’t have basic IT skills. It baffles me how someone who has been using a computer for nearly 20 years doesn’t know some very basic things.

But will complain to anyone within earshot that any new system is . No mate, you are just incompetent!

Edited to add, they are the most likely people to complain they haven’t had training, when they have access to the internet. Hiding behind the fact you haven’t had formal classroom training is complete bull. It’s just an excuse to carry on being incompetent.

I’m not even talking that complex.

Save as, drag and drop to another application. Typing something in the start menu. All completely alien concepts.

Well if it does say that no parking access is required it shouldn’t be an issue

Your mum is my wife.

Started to cut the grass, not realising how wet it’s been the last week, what a mess, lawn mower clogged up almost straight away and it’s too wet to suck it in basket

Netball. Most stop start game ever. Skills are crazy good by these ladies but there is never more than 5 seconds of play with the umpires chiming in with “contact or obstruction”

Our council passing a decision to charge households £56 a year to collect green waste. Sure it's only fifty quid but what if you've no garden you've no green waste so you're in the clear but we pay more...... So should have it collected. Plus they gave us all darleks to compost which must have cost a bomb, then green bins to take it away. Just how much more money can they waste.

Where I live there is an optional green waste collection and it has been an extra fee for years. It never has been free.

Lane hoggers on the motorway. People who insist on sitting in Lane 2 of 3 lane motorways, and lane 3 of 4 lane motorways!
Whatever happened to the crackdown on these drivers? If you undertake you're in the wrong, so I have to pull out from Lane 1 to Lane 4, overtake them and then pull back in. You flash them as you overtake but they still carry on regardless. I doubt they ever even bother to look in their mirrors.

I am remined of an amusing incident a few years back.

Travelling due west I was the only car on the M3 travelling at the speed limit in the nearside lane.

I became aware of another car behind me in the offside lane who went past me and stayed in the offside lane all the time for miles before he disappeared from my view.

Got a new gravel bike this week, the saddle is like a razor blade. Selle Italia. Most uncomfortable saddle I've ever tried. Luckily I still have a rolls saddle I brought in 1996, when they were a £10 and not the £90 they want now.

Do teams from the Championship qualify for the Champion’s League? No.

Do teams from the Scottish Prem qualify for the Champion’s League? Yes. Guess that ranks the Scottish Prem above the Championship.

That sounds like a popcorn consuming couple of hours!

Wouldn’t that put the Cymru Premier above the Championship too?
