Friends who won't skip a Parkrun in order to play in a golf comp on Saturday morning. I'd have thought you could just go for a 5k run at some other time to make up for it, but clearly I don't understand.

Idiots who stare at me as they slowly walk across the road knowing that I won't run them over ...................... as much as I'd like to!
They're almost daring me.

Parkruns are comps to aren’t they?
Somto your friends probably have just as much importance.
My mate took up running last year. Haven’t seen him on the course in 9 months. Seems it can be quite an obsession.
Cyclists coming towards you on a narrow pavement and get shirty when you refuse to step into the road to let them go past. The road is for cyclists not pedestrians you silly woman

Not really a competition as such, it's just a get together thing where people do a 5k run and they time it for you. I would say the competitive element is beating your own personal best, rather than beating the other people who are running with you. It obviously means more to him than I realised though, you're not wrong there.

I've had enough of living in Beirut!
It started Friday night and is still going on now...
Does it really need to last 5 days..?

My ginger mog has never been fussed before, but tonight, given the volume, he is worried.

Militant do-gooders... I've seen a girl on the train this morning with a yellow sticker someone else (presumably) has stuck to her bag that says "I'm an *** - I wear fur". Ultimately the sticker fell off as she was leaving the carriage, so she was never any the wiser. So what was achieved? If you feel strongly about fur would it not be sensible to have a conversation with her and try and change her mind about wearing it? You don't even know if it was real fur or not. If I found a sticker that some lunatic had stuck to my belongings, I'd be very unlikely to change my opinions to match the views of said lunatic. Imagine going to the effort of getting a bunch of stickers made up, and they just fall off before the target ever knows they're there. Precisely nothing achieved.
Southeastern trains - my journey this morning wasn't the best!
train before my one breaks down at the station and gets moved after 20 mins
next 2 trains are packed so I don't bother getting on either of them.
get on the 3rd train and go 3 stops then sit outside Charlton station as someone pulled the alarm on the train in front as they didn't feel well.
get to London Bridge and they kick us off as if they run it to Cannon Street it will be more than 30 mins late so they will have to pay compensation.

I feel for you on your lines - I'm southeastern commuter too, but my train journey is 1:45 each way, so for me to get compensation my journey "only" needs to be 28% late and then I get compo. For many on your lines the absolute minimum of a delay is 50% of the journey, but quite often a lot more!

Video game adverts with "not actual gameplay footage". I mean what's the point unless you deliberately want to mislead the customer?

Wasn't it to cover the "video" parts of the game where they tell the story just before the gameplay starts.
Don't forget we live in an age where packets of nuts say "may contain nuts" and McDonalds need to tell people to be careful because coffee is hot.
the new revolving doors in my office have a warning sticker on them telling people not to play football in them!

Chinese visa application. Utterly useless idiots have wasted my entire morning, as I did not have the right information with me as it is not on their web site that I would require it.
Even now, i will need 3 copies of something next time I go back, but they won't tell me what it is, until I go back, and I probably won't have them, as I still won't know what they want.
Idiots.
