People who talk about the distant past as if it were yesterday or even today.

I bumped into someone I once knew, yesterday afternoon, and he was talking about things from 2008 and how angry he still is with certain people.

Jeez.

It proved to be a very boring conversation from his end.

Prostitution is rife. I was looking at an ad in a newsagent's window the other day and a woman was supposedly offering herself as a cleaner.

But she used words like 'Willing African lady...satisfaction guaranteed...Older men only'

You didn't have to read between the lines, it was blatant.

I heard an advert on the radio last night . It was a well known financial firm and the dialogue included something along the lines of .. “ no my friend .. she didn’t refer you to a ‘banker’ “

It’s just such a shame how standards are being eroded

When someone presses the stop button on a bus after it's already been pressed, you aren't the main character.

…or when everyone who walks up to a pedestrian/traffic light crossing to wait, also presses the walk button when it’s already lit up as being pressed…I swear it makes the green walk man slow down in coming just for the heck of it all and to troll the walkers…

What about those imbeciles ( of all ages) who press the pelican crossing button when they are just walking past the pelican but not going over the crossing ..

There's a guy who parks his car outside the house I live in.

He does this every morning. He first gets out the car, slams the door. Then he realises he's forgotten something, opens door, then slams it again.

He does this slamming about 10 times I am not kidding. Without fail.

EVERY weekday.

Classic Corrie being gone from ITVX and being left with the fascination of … cantankerous Edna and flipping Sam Dingle.

Currently Autogiass have a motto to the effect of ‘we aren’t a pain in the ‘glass’ ( meaning arse) ..

There’s a heating firm using a narrative of “ I’ll be hot and steamy , wherever you want me ‘ with the voice of a sensual woman. ..


Jet Too

“ look at them go - booking geniuses”

It definitely sounds like vucking!


WTF !!!

Better Adverts being sexed up, than being sexless like Western TV Shows and Video Games.

I've just noticed this in the last couple of weeks, the amount of people (mainly women) who throw their shopping basket on the pile leaving it askew.

It takes nothing to make sure it's straight, so another basket can be easily put on top.

When people talk about women as a conglomerate.

It’s mostly blokes I’ve noticed doing what you’re talking about so what the hell, Gusto? Why did you decide to make this one about gender?
