People worrying about the future state of pubs and the dying breed of the establishment but also never going in except across the weekend, so much that the pub then decides they might as well shut on certain days. It’s your local. Show it some respec. if you still want it to stand a chance of being around in 10 years. Don’t complain about the pub being dead throughout the week but also contribute to the problem when you’re burning the little leftover pennies you have elsewhere.

My package came (finally) today. One day shy of a month. Of course it was damaged, it looked like it got bent in a corner from the machine sorter. Thankfully the mat I needed the most on the inside could be bent into mostly perfect flatness and it's just a minor kink. The other one has actual indent, but I think it could be fine with some convincing+heat... even better the label was their "advantage" ground service, so it should've been here on time. So someone done goofed.

I sit at a donut shop 1-2x a week with my daughter and I bring cleaning wipes everywhere I go. It's almost always clean, but nothing like sitting at an especially clean table enjoying your very important coffee and donuts...

Not sure if I've mentioned this before,but the unisex single toilet in coffee shops,after a man has used it because 9/10 times he will always leave the seat up, so I will use my foot to close the seat ( as I'm not touching that bacteria infested thing) ...even though I hover over it ....as I don't sit on public loos . But it's proper etiquette to put the seat down you would think .But I haven't been to coffee shops for a while.

Another annoying thing...is when passengers stand right at the front of buses,but they have no intention of getting off @ the next stop ... the bus isn't even always full ,yet they stand at the front like they're inspecting the driver.

What bothers me about certain men’s toilets is that sometimes a dude won’t even flush.

…I’m glad that your mat came and you can begin the process of repairing it…a repairable mat is better than no mat at all, so the saying goes…and coffee/doughnuts/daughters…sublime ……

My brother tells me that there's a gents in Chelmsford where a woman will come and mop around your feet while you're having a wee.

That's too far & intrusive , the whole point of cleaning is
to do it when people have left or haven't arrived yet . They need to fix the cleaning time table, ridiculous.

I remember being in a office once ...and for some damn reason they got a cleaner in whilst we were trying to

work , I had to get up and move whilst she cleaned around the desk area and floor . I don't understand why
some places do that , it's so inconvenient & really awkward .

I'm sure I saw a gym video ,where a man was hoovering
around a guy who was exercising.... like wtf lol.

I've never had to move in an office for a cleaner. I do appreciate them though... You get in the office in the morning and it's like the cleaning fairy has been.

My brother's never used that particular toilet again. He said he was mortified.... Imagine if it was a bloke in a female toilet mopping around.

Exactly, they'd be complaints I would imagine.

Americans thinking The Simpsons (as great a show as it is at its core) is the longest-running show in the history of TV.

Erm, no. Just no. Get your facts checked. Watch an episode of Corrie, for its sins.
Longest-running cartoon/animated series, maybe.

That’s really unsettling.

[Gusto Brunt]

Radio adverts are paricularly annoying at the moment. Rob Brydon's Spec Savers ad makes me want to smash my radio to pieces.

That IKEA ad, with that bloke talking slow. Soooooooooooooooo annoying.

And a few others.

Agreed. Whatever was going around near us lasted some two weeks. Thankfully we live far apart. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I feel fine really, it's just niggling.

When you're arguing your pov and any degree of capitulation for a chance at moving forwards is instead thrown back in your face with a passive-aggressive comeback or another attempt at one-upmanship. So tiresome and a prime example of why I usually don't care to debate others on anything.

People who are messy when it comes to eating crisps. Truly disgusting.

T’sight of it on the floor’s put me off my morning coffee now.

…I think for me…?…any irritation attached to crisp eating would be a noise thing…it’s one of the main things with BB, eating with the microphones on and us hearing every crunch and every swallow etc…please don’t…

[Nicky91]

more like big things that irritate me

me being accused of supporting terrorist groups (which i don't)

me being misunderstood oh so ******* easily

You say, "Goodbye" and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

In all my years I also don't think I've given any other reply but 'yeah fine thanks'

Also typically they ask when your meal is at least half eaten... my usual answer is "trust me, if I had a problem with my meal I would not be waiting for you to ask!" but I do try to temper the abruptness with a half-smile....
