Random Irritations

[GB72]

Buses that start moving forward away from the bus stop whilst you are passing them with no consideration of the traffic behind or along side.

Move, indicate, look...
It must be in the training because they all do it...

Not really an irritation, just an observation of different personality types when it comes to money...

My team from work went out last night for food and drinks. To avoid that cringeworthy scenario where everyone is poring over the bill then asking the staff to split it into individual payments, I stuck it on my credit card and put the receipt on the team WhatsApp group.
It's interesting how those who earn least money add up their bit correctly then round up to the nearest £5 or £10.
The one who earns most added up their bits to the penny, took off the 20% discount we received, ignored the 12.5% service charge then rounded down to the nearest pound.
It worked out about right for me, but it's the same every time with this and other social groups.

The absolute fear I get everytime I need to update a system BIOS on a PC that doesn’t belong to me.

Praying that there is no power outage or I accidentally knock something and brick someone’s motherboard.

I had to order a new bios chip for my pc after bricking it during an update, fortunately it was the type that plug on to the mobo as opposed to solder[/QUOTE]

Major annoyance... people who demonstrate their lack of manners, character etc etc in these situations....

100% whenever we order in at work I put either on my credit card or deliveroo account

People give me the exact money

Ok so your not paying the deliveroo charge and not gonna give the guy a tip eh?

Always prefer to tell them the prices went up £1.50 and blame cost of.living

Tight sods

The ONS ‘sharply revising‘ their figures about UK recovery - doom and gloom splashed across the news when the poor figures came out. The revised upwards figures barely making a footnote.
Seems as the media think that “Good News is No News”.

When it has wheels it isn’t hand luggage.

We could probably board and disembark planes in a fraction of the time if there wouldn’t be 100 people trying to wheel suitcases through the narrow bits.

£5 drop off charge at Gatwick- absolute thieving ….

My son gets the name and phone number of the guy who reversed his van into my car (son had been driving), but forgets to get registration number before van drives off… and now he’s struggling to get the reg of vehicle from the guy or his company for my insurance.

Simply the bedfellow of the newspapers and other news outlets that misreport, distort or fail to report the truth about bad news

Always take pictures. Pic of the Reg is the first one you should take

If he did take pics he may have caught the Reg accidentally, worth a look

Same everywhere these days sadly. I use the airport drop offs a lot and use the free one where I can. Stansted are good and have a shuttle bus , Luton make you walk!!

Have done a test and it's negative so potentially just come down with a bug due to playing in the rain for 2.5 hours and lack of sleep following!

Both my wife and I had it, spikey throat, cough, mega temperture, aches and tiredness, we both tested negative. A friend had it exactly same time, exactly same symptoms and tested positive one day, and not the next. Suspect it's the new strain not showing with the old tests.
Many I come across have had exactly the same symptons.

I'll agree with that one.


But add the idiot of myself for forgetting to pay the drop off charge back in August

He did, but of the damage to our car and no reflection or anything of reg of van. He was with his girlfriend who is a useless piece of uselessness and would have been distracting him

We've got one slippery, elusive mouse in our house. It's constantly evading our two humane mouse traps and our two Maine *** cats are useless. It even appeared in the centre of the kitchen the other day in a robe and slippers, whilst puffing on a cigar.

...and the mouse just rocked up in the centre of the lounge during the Smith - Eubank fight

Accept it as part of the family, the mouse has won .

I heard a humane pest control guy on the radio a few months ago. Your mouse friend has found a source of food, whether proper food or crumbs. To get rid of the mouse, stop the source. Make sure everything is boxed up, sealed, surfaces wiped down etc. If there is no food to eat, your friend will move on. Unless of course he/she now feels an affection for you all .

Incidentally have you ever seen your pal come through a hole? I'm in a rural area, field mice are common. I saw one come through a crack once that was just ridiculously small. It was like watching Flat Stanley in action . Remarkable little things.
