Things that annoy you?

Awesome. A perfectly servicable, descriptive word that refers to an event or object that inspires awe. A word to be used infrequently…these awesome things are not commonplace. The Cosmos is awesome…the Grand Canyon is awesome…Bearsy’s imagination is awesome but now it’s been high-jacked by the Americans (mostly) to mean something that is quite nice.

It’s sheer fuckin’ lazyness…the video of your fluffy kitten is NOT awesome…it might be cute, it might be amusing…it ain’t fuckin’ awesome!

People who ride your bumper. What is up with that? Apart from being incredibly dangerous where do they have to be in such a hurry that is more important than your safety? They are “literally” arseholes.

People with ‘baby on board’ stickers that drive like arseholes.

Well if awesome now means “quite nice” can we come up with a new word that can take it’s original meaning. Just a couple of ground rules…

  1. This new word cannot be hyphenated with the preface…“ultra” or “mega”.

  2. It cannot be an existing word to be high-jacked at someone’s ill-considered behest.

hoofinruth. She never likes on my posts, or talks to me. But if someone does a post calling me a bumhole, she makes sure to vote up on that one. She was the same on the other site. She may not think we notice these things, but we Do.

I think it was Ben Elton who said that he might not have a baby on board sticker in the back of his car but he would still prefer it if you paid him the same courtesy and didnt run him off the road!

The grunting in women’s tennis. It sounds like they are constipated and are trying to squeeze one out. Just stop it.

You’re a bumhole, Bear.

Small bags that people drag behind them on wheels. There are exceptions - iIf you’re a little old lady, fine, whatever helps you get around. If you’re taking most of your possessions on a long trip for several months, fine, it needs to be done.

But if you’re a six-foot, fifteen stone bloke dragging a tiny brief case behind him across a crowded station concourse then please, PICK THE FUCKING THING UP AND CARRY IT so that it doesn’t get in my way

Thank you

Awkward. I kind of like hooinruth even more for that - going against popular opinion!

(Still love you Bearsy though).

Well there you have an ideal opportunity to work some rehabilitated old ones into you daily conversation. Things like…spiffing…top notch…cracking and the daddy of them all “SOOOOPERB”

Awesome is about as lame as a one legged Kangaroo…“SOOOOPERB” needs a whole new outing.

Bearsy is a bumhole. (Just testing a theory here)

Not just those that drive like arseholes…all of them. I fucking hate those knobs. What’s the point of it? “I have a baby on board, please don’t crash into me”. People don’t choose to crash into someone and you declaring you have a baby on board isn’t going to stop that. It’s just new parents who want to tell everyone that they’ve managed to fuck and have a baby. Bunch of cunts, if you ask me. Makes me want to crash into them.

People who walk slowly on the pavement and then meander from side to side every time you attempt to execute an overtake.

  1. Having to explain the same thing to someone multiple times, particularly if the person in question indicated at a previous juncture that you have been understood.

  2. Having to listen to the same thing multiple times. This is a particular problem with the older women in my life (mum, gf, etc). Either neither of them can remember anything they’ve fucking said, or they don’t care that they’re saying it again. The kids are thankfully just as annoyed with this as I am.

  3. People moaning about other people to you when they should be moaning at them. “Mwah, so and so is like this”. “Her behaviour was completely unacceptable”. “He takes fucking liberties!”. Well fucking sort it out with them then! All you’re achieving now is making me feel like I’m getting told off for something someone else has done! Nothing’s solved!

Those three things annoy me.

I get annoyed when I’m having a poo and I got to wipe up and either:

(a) there’s no toilet paper and I have to use my hand

or

(b) there is toilet paper but it’s thin and your finger goes through it and gets covered in shit

One or the other happens to me literally every day.
