Things you hate III

Twitter

 

People who have no sense of humour.

 

People making stuff up on the internet.

 

The England band instruments. I wish they would spend some money real ones that are tuned. They sound like toys that they got for the cost of postage an 10 crisp packets.

 

Get rid of the England band. They're awful and dictate the support with their 3 dreary songs.

 

Paul Merson, although he's probably been mentioned several times already on this thread.

 

Any coincidence the ladies played bl**dy awful last night when the band turned up?

 

Football managers referring to "the group." They're not Mumford & Sons ffs! What's wrong with the squad, the team or just players?

 

Classic Sean Dyche

 

I knew somebody who went through a gluten free phase for very good reason, not a fad diet. It can be a nightmare to eat out and for this reason I'm afraid that I can't back your gripe.

 

People not washing their hands after going to the toilet.

You may have only had a wee but I don't want to come into contact with your back splash and **** contaminations on the door handle or bar nibbles.

You are disgusting, have been dragged-up not brought up and you are inconsiderate to others. I already shake my head at you behind your back and as I get older I am more likely to speak my mind and confront you. Be afraid you dirty person.

 

I cant agree with this. I dont see why every establishment should be expected to cater for every nuance surrounding potential health issues. They are commercial enterprises and they should be able to decide, and their potential customers can make their own decisions about whether they eat there or not.

 

But I do agree with this.

I am not one that is normally too worried about coming into contact with bacteria in our everyday lives. I rarely suffer from upset stomachs and I personally believe it is partly because I have that outlook (something to do with a bit of self-developed resistance), but not washing hands in toilets where there is a convenient sink put there just for the purpose, is just disgusting.

 

....And this leads me to the adverts pushing cleaning products. The ones that claim that are more germs and bacteria on everyday items around the house than there are in toilet bowls. They usually show an image of a baby/toddler chewing on the item. What they fail to explain is that, although there may be less bugs in the toilet pan, the effect of those nasties will be very different when ingested.

 

I imagine that requirements in your last sentaence have been met, so the restaurant sell gf panacotta and if somebody asks for it then it is reasonable to expect have to serve it.

Coeliac desiease can be very serious and I imagine that most people diagnosed with it would look at the menu online or phone ahead anyway so would know that gf food is available. These people would be used to managing these situations daily.

However, if somebody is asking for gf because it part of The Melanie Goodbody LA Weiwould receive my full scorn as per Cthulhu's post.

Cthulhu, I need more information on the circumstances that fuel your anger.

 

I can almost understand people being forgetful or in a rush (everyone is in a rush everywhere). What I dont get is the shame. In an empty toilet it's fine but when I am at the sink and can see you walk from urinal to door, are you not concerned what I think?

 

Being in a rush is no excuse in my book. The man yesterday was at a football match, no rush at all.

Forgetful? Again, no, you are an adult, you remembered to put your **** back in your pants and do your flies up, now go wash your hands.

If a man pees in a toilet and no one is around to see him, should he wash his hands?

All of us clean, normal people should tut and shake our heads at these uncouth people as they waltz out of the restrooms with their filthy, germ infested hands.

Sorry HornPete but you sound like a piss-hand sympathiser!

 

Yep hugely irritating, speaks crap at one hundred miles an hour , knows bugger all about anything other than football....Same could be said for many on talk sport though

 

Irritating background music on bbc coverage of world athletics championships. Drives me mad on coverage of London marathon and grand nation. Producers think it's iconic, it's constant repetition makes me want to hang my head against the wall.... While I,m at got fed up with the constant build up for the big stars farah and bolt. I,m not interested in watching them warming up in the training area and a stop watch reminding how long before their event.

 

Please, please tell me she had a diet coke as well.

 

Whilst the thread is on the subject of public loos, and I try to avoid them for anything other than a quick "slash and dash", almost as bad as finding that there is no toilet paper at all, is finding that the roll is in back to front with the paper coming out the back. What is that all about? Everybody knows that it should come out the front of the roll for easy access (whilst in precarious "hover" position) and this directive is actually written into EU Law - FACT.

 

Ok, with this corroborating evidence and the rules I set out in my other post, I back you fully. The women deserves all of your scorn.

I bet she didn't tip either!

 

ZZ, dont lower your standards, you missed the hand wash. It should be slash, splash and dash.

The EU law of which you speak is actually part of appendix number 2. It is aimed at ensuring good toileting practice. It also states that public toilet seats should not be cleaned too often as this encourages the practice of 'hovering', which in turn, is good for quad strength - FACT.

 

Anyone who doesnt put down the divider after they have put their stuff on the belt.. which actually includes the entire Norwegian population!
I swear they dont know what those mysterious things at the checkout are for. Scraping ice maybe?

 

The Spanish don't use them either. Silly buggers.

 

People who call a bathroom basin a sink!
A sink is found in your kitchen!
Only playing!

 

Those that call a Faucet a tap

 

Why do they do that?
I thought they like to make things simpler, that's why they abbreviate everything! Why make it longer?
Then come out and say it's American English!

 

Of course it could be worse .... in Germany it's a water-chicken (wasserhahn)

(well nearly, a hahn is actually male i.e. a ****)

 

Well, we do have a stopcock here!
And in effect that is a stop water ****!
