There's nothing quite like forced positivity.

I didn't even notice this before but now it annoys me every time - when people drop the t in Britain, and say "Bri-urrn".

Not that I'm a Little Englander and don't want the word disrespected or anything other mispronounciations annoy me too.

Neighbour's dog barking all the time

The way ITV gives you trigger warnings for just about everything you might see in a programme but then shows adverts in between showing the most harrowing animal cruelty, neglect and abuse.

Beyonce winning the best Country Album of the year at the Grammys.

1. Ella Langley and Chayce Beckham both had better Country Albums imo. And that's just two that I know of.

And 2. Some of Beyonce's songs on the Album weren't even pure Country songs.

I hold no personal ill will against Beyonce (I'll leave that to MAGA lol,) but I do genuinely have to question how much Country Music do the Grammys listen to when I (a primarily Rock/Metal fan) can easily identify two other Country Albums that came out in 2024 that were much better than Beyonce's Album?

It's a trivial thing to be annoyed about, but I hate to see awards being handed out that's based on name power rather than on merit.

Giggling/boisterous school kids in Costa. One advantage of Starbucks, for all its controversies, is that annoying kids seem less likely to hang out there (and Caffe-Nero at that) than Costa.

I’ve probably already complained about this.

The illiterate, blatantly warped nature of most public-post Facebook commentators.

(Big-ting, still) [p]eople naively looking back on the days of lynchings and no blacks and Irish allowed in pubs as the golden era of diversity, before colour became a dividing point. How can you not know that racism was a million and one times worse then?

Facebook and Politics is a cesspool.

I try to steer clear of it.

As a country music lover I agree it was a slap to real country stars

Naive mental health professionals insisting that major depressive episodes just last the better part of two weeks.

Two weeks is the minimum qualifier for a major depressive episode in the DSM, yes, but most depressive episodes in the natural course of events last months, sometimes years. And dysthymia (chronic low-grade depression, which, as it happens, can get punctuated by more severe, discreet episodes) is absolutely a thing. 2 weeks is the absolute minimum, not to say that the average episode of major depression barely lasts that long.

"imitation of the best form of flattery" nope. It's damn annoying!!!

People asking a (usually younger) pre.-menopausal woman if she’s on her period if she’s upset (not saying it happens super-often but obviously it does happen). 9 times out of 10, it never is that. Misogynistic jokes really aren’t the one. And people need to stop normalising painful periods.

Misogynistic, contradictory pieties of the time have never stood the scrutiny of reality. People are so, so much more than the genitals between their legs. The real prize is in you.

I’ve said it before (I think) but I’ll say it again - guys putting their height on their Insta. bios like it’s some sort of ultimate flex. What you doing, dawg? Like, are you not embarrassed?
