Random Irritations

[Wolf]

No you didn't have to.

Glad you did, though, because it's a common theme on this thread that people just say "Lewis Hamilton" without explanation.

I like him so it has always seemed strange.

I find it strange that anyone can warm to him especially with some of the stuff he comes out with. Last year claiming he grew up in the slums and never got opportunities as child , yet he really didn't live in the slums and was supported from the age of 6 in go kart racing. Recent outburst wearing a chain and padlock to symbolise his stance against any organisation that oppresses black men and women and how he would never support a company that doesn't provide equality or represent oppression, which generally I would applaud taking that stance as I can't stand racism, but he's sitting there in the picture fully decked out in Hugo Boss & Mercedes sponsored clothing, perhaps had he done research he'd have found Boss created & manufactured the uniforms for the Nazi army in WW2, and Mercedes supplied many of the parts used in concentration camps not to mention engines for vehicles that shipped them to their deaths because of their race . So seems he is against companies that have pasts steeped in oppression except when they're paying him £millions.

I can't stand him and his holier than thou attitude when all along he is taking the money of the people who he claims to be against, don't even get me started on his tax dodging and demands. Great driver but a vile excuse of a human being and role model.

Have you not realised that every ‘celeb’ claims to have grown up in poverty and had nothing as a child? I think they may think it makes us really happy for them now they have made it. Really makes me laugh when Chris Evans goes on about having a tin bath in front of the fire when he was growing up- he is the same age as me not a Victorian!!

Oh yes I have realised that, but Hamilton for me is one of the worst with his arrogance and demeanour. Sadly we live in a world where the majority are obsessed with celebrity culture and lap up the dross they speak ??‍

But that's a whole other irritation ?

Just got a notification that I should have been going to watch crowded house tonight

Are they going to have to change their name to fit in with social distancing?

First day back at work...

(Ok so should probably be in the heart gladdening thread but c'mon, it's too early in the morning ?)

Not entirely sure how to phrase this. Grateful for the detailed explanation. I think people like me who aren’t particularly into F1 just see a successful black man speaking out against racism and getting abused for it.

Perhaps a cautionary tale for those that like to come on here and just name someone as an irritation without explaining why.

Isn't that the point of a random irritation though, it needs no explaining or justification. It's just something that is randomly irritating the poster at the time of the post ??‍

Back to work today...a multitude of safety protocols to follow every time someone different gets in the car.....easing back into it gently, just 2 clients today
Still trying to fathom how everyone needs to be at least a metre away from each other..except driving instructors.......

It is the point, unfortunately not every poster agrees with you, or sometimes a poster is innocently asking why someone is irritated and not having their right to be irritated questioned.

Also, when it’s an irritation close to someone elses heart, they get offended and jump all over the poster.

Seems to me it's perfectly acceptable, to the forum, to be randomly irritated by cyclists but not if they're electrically powered ?...

This is my favourite thread on the forum, I may well post on this a disturbing number of times . I particularly love the really abstract and silly irritations. I do quite like to know what it is that irritates though, maybe that is just me. Throwing a name out is a stress reliever but sometimes the rest of us need to know why they irritate. It doesn't need an essay but a sentence can be good. This is particularly so when the person who irritates is not well known so we can't even guess why they irritate. Lewis Hamilton is an easy one, he just is irritating in many ways, but when it is a youtube person, or social media political commentator for example and we only get a name then it gets harder to decipher

I totally agree on the justification aspect. Nobody needs to justify the irritation on this thread, they are random after all .

Hiccups. I don't get them often but when I do they last forever and will usually reappear a few hours later.

My daughter gets them a lot. I got shown a trick years ago to get rid of them and it works EVERY time!!

You need to block both ears with your fingers, then get someone to help and pour a cup of water for you, you need to drink a decent amount, say 3/4 of a coffee mug size.
I promise I am not taking the mickey, it works!!

I always do the 'drink from the wrong side of the glass' method and it works every time for me. As in basically tip your head forward until it's upside and down and swallow a good few mouthfuls of water that way. Always cures it, but you do get a few people staring at you in the pub.

This works for me too

When the self service till in the shop can't register the chip on your card so you have to put it in the machine and tap the buttons to input your PIN instead of being able to pay contact less.....and your card gets registered every other time in every other shop........

"Good joooooob" another quality Americanism for you slowly creeping into our every day language ?

Watching some reruns of the Masters I hate the way they announce players, "Tiger Woods now driving". What else would he be doing on the tee, having a pee, eating his lunch? The European way is much better, name & where he's from, that's what the punters need to know.
