😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

Update:

After firing off a PM on The Dark Side to the satanic admin claiming back my Ā£5 subscription and taking out a PayPal dispute I get a response two days later…

They take out a further £5 subscription. :lou_facepalm_2: which unsurprisingly prompts me to take out another PayPal dispute and another Dark Side PM.

Hour later I get a repayment of said £10. I make sure the recurring PayPal subscription is well and truly cancelled this time.

This would NEVER happen on Sotonian.com

This will annoy me for as long as I work where I work. A new hand dryer in the bogs. Which is by the door and easy to walk into. I want on know which idiot thought of putting it there. There is another one in which is right under a dispensing unit. Barely enough space to get a finger in.

You only had one job!

Ah, but it was quite a big job.

I still love the Jurassic Park version of that meme.

I paid £5 for two posts last year, it was the worst £5 I have ever spent.

Stayed at work late and went for a hair cut around 7ish. Parked the bike up outside Colston Hall in centre of Bristol. In the 20min window i was in the hairdressers next to said bike some complete wanker has nicked it!

It was gridlock central as well; so cars would have been queing solidy within 2metres of said bike as said pikey scumbag was cutting through said lock. So much for moral decencey!

Just a joke. Can we have a referendum to kick the bleeding thiefing pikey’s out please?!?! Seems far more worthwhile. Grrr!!!

What is it dispensing and why do you need to put your finger in it?

The unit dispenses sanitary products. Leaving it there for whatever comments come.

Don’t know about that, I’ve seen your haircut.

Inconsiderate tall cunts at concerts.

The recent slight for this particular hobbit is of course, Glastonbury - although the experiences are lifelong. Of Monsters and Men was probably the most infuriating gig for this tiddler swimming in the mud of this year’s Worthy Farm.

A few of us shortarses had strategically placed ourselves around a pole. Great sight-lines. No-one barging in your way. It was all good. Ten minutes before the gig, two girls plough into a space three metres ahead of us, and that’s cool. They’re short too. I can see over them.

Except one of them keeps waving a hat. It was a colourful hat, a rather distracting hat, and was in my eye-line the entire time.

It gets worse. The hat is for the attention of these impossibly tall bastards that barrel through the crowd and stand with the shortarse girls. They are now indelibly in my view. They’re not really into the band, so they stand motionless, just blocking it.

I am very proud of my behaviour that day. I confined myself to sharing japes with the other shorties that were similarly afflicted by my lack of height.

In the old days, I’d take the proper fucking hump when tall bastards pummeled through us, knocking us flying like skittles.

One last thing. Before I disappeared off to the festival, Tokes cursed me with some kind of wet Coldplay hell. I was never going to see those fuckers, so that was never going to happen. We also didn’t get rained on that much. It was spectacularly muddy, but not particularly wet, certainly not the tent sinking lakes of yore or anything like it.

Whatever deity decides Football Internet Forum disputes, I don’t know.

I do know that the bastard can use inconsiderate tall bastards at festivals to great effect if Tokes’ #1 option is not available.

Grunting when you hit a tennis ball. It is really irritating. Stop it please. Even Murray seems to grunt now. I am sure he didnt used to. Stupid grunts.

When the plonker on Radio2 started slagging off football, F1 and cycling, and started mincing around the studio with some sort of Murray-love-in I just hit the off button.
