BucksRam Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 People you wait for to drive passed then turn off without indicating, or drive passed with a thank you. People who walk along slowly reading their phones holding me up People who put their phones on speaker for a conversation whilst walking down the street Tescos Wraps - so often stick together and tear getting them apart Not replacing the empty toilet roll The OAP in front of me at the till asking 4 times how much it was again, and then paying in pennies (I know it'll be me one day) Bullshi77ers and liars in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few other options including a deep fat fryer, electric veg steamer, microwave, food processor, bread maker, a watch, alarm clock, various items of luggage, earphones, bookshelf speakers, a bluetooth speaker, a grass strimmer... Excellent wok, you should be proud.... May Contain Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Swear words being censored on the radio. Completely ruins the song. Can't wrap my head why people find the odd bit of swearing offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of ways to discover new music. The radio has never been an influence for me. There’s word of mouth, flicking through the list of bands in liner notes, bands that tour with bands I like, music services algorithms, bands I’ve discovered from my old gig promoting days, music documentaries all to name a few. Radio is primarily a marketing tool utilised by the big record labels. I’m not saying I don’t like anything they play but they only cater a certain audience.

If you want to convey strong feelings there are plenty of other adjectives out there. Miggins and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who clearly exaggerate for effect. Just make your point, there's no need to BS people to death in a pathetic attempt to win an argument.

Miggins Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm new to all this so haven't had the time to scroll through all the previous pages but I bet I'd agree with most of them. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but are motorists getting lazier about acknowledging courtesy? It may be a legal requirement to let joining traffic gradually filter in, but when you indicate to the vehicle in the slip lane that you are giving way to them and they are safe to pull out, surely a raised hand is a polite and friendly gesture? Also, younger people starting sentences with the word 'So' when they reply to a question. Where on earth did that come from? Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
