  1. The heat has got to me and I noticed this thread had been bumped to the top...

    Taking photographs of food in a pub/restaurant. I could almost forgive this if you were eating at Anthony Bourdain's, but you're not, it's just a really big burger and some chips.

    Sweet potato fries. Utter w*nk. P*ss off back to South America.

    Having integral parts of a meal on a separate plate/bowl. Seems impossible to get a full English now without the beans being in a little pot on the side. Beans next to bacon next to egg, use the sausage as a breakwater. Genuine sides like onion rings, no problem.

    Anywhere that serves food on a piece of slate or chopping board or square plate.

    Electrical items/technology that arrives without the means to connect to another appliance. E.g. Blue ray player arriving without HDMI lead, Internet Hub arriving without any cables whatsoever, electric toothbrush without a charger.

    Obese colleagues banging on about eating a celery stick for lunch. It's not going to work if you carry on having pizza and chips every night for dinner.

    Soup/tea/coffee slurpers.

    Been said a million times before on this thread, but I saw one today... the man-bun. 

    People in meetings/presentations that say aloud "yes", "mmmhh" when agreeing with someone who is speaking to the group, seemingly oblivious to the fact they are not being spoken to 1:1.

    Toe tappers/leg shakers. Sit still for f**ks sake or take some Vallium.

    Builders who think it's acceptable to come into my house, do their job and leave without clearing up the debris and detritus they've left as a result.

    Taking annual leave to watch Wimbledon on TV.

     

  2. Sales assistants in Electrical/Furniture shops.

    Leave me alone! If I want your help, I will ask you.

    When I say 'have you got this TV in stock?', don't then say that you can check but you'll also have a look for another, supposedly better one. I know which one I want, answer the question.

    Just let me look around in peace, I don't need to be told it's 4k or Ultra HD or Smart, I can see that from the stickers and I don't want any of that.

  3. "That'll learn you". Learn English first pal.

    "The three R's". Only one of them starts with an R.

    The new fashion for 'men' to wear chinos with tassled loafers with no socks on. Stop pretending you're John-Paul Belmondo sipping Espresso and smoking Gauloises in Naples when you're in a pub beer garden in Burton toking an oversized e-cigarette.

    People who say Expresso instead of Espresso. Likewise St. Pancreas rather than St. Pancras.

  4. Didn't want to p*ss all over the happy thread so I'll put this here:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/news/mini-remastered-sixties-icon-reimagined-david-brown-automotive/

    £70k for that is bullshit.

    The whole point of the Mini was that it was a relatively economical "car of the people".

    Typifies where the 60's went wrong. Create a cultural icon, ruin it, then sell back 'the original', sans spirit at a vastly inflated price.

  5. I don't know why they let you reserve seats on trains. You don't on a bus. Should be first come, first seated. Especially as those who have reserved seats usually don't sit where they should because someone without a reservation has sat in their reserved seat leading to other seats being sat in leaving no space for those who didn't reserve a seat to sit in.
