Things that irritate me ... in one sentence only.

[Colin]

Any song which features voices “treated” with that bloody awful auto tune, it’s about as tuneful as a dentist’s drill!

[geoffers]

Singers who cannot sing.

On the flip side , those who put fog lights on when the visibility drops below 10 miles 

Then leave them on for a couple of weeks.

Passengers who ask if this train is going to so and so even with a giant destination board, scrolling displays inside and out, an automated p.a. address and the station announcements.

People being interviewed who start every answer with Absolutely.

Talking to people who end every sentence with the word “right”.

Or starts most of their sentences with - Yes, I know that. When they quite clearly didn`t.

Jump cuts in face to camera YouTube videos.

Seeing two red lines appear on a Covid test :-(

Cyclists, red lights.

Cyclists without lights, (usually wearing dark clothing at night)

True... one-liners get much more laughs.

Now that is a long sentence.

Don't get me started on the subject!

[zarniwhoop]

Manufacturers who print the figures for composition of a food product in tiny print with poor contrast (I use insulin, have to adjust the amount according to the carbohydrate).

[zarniwhoop]

And in the same vein - producers of crisp-style snacks (pop chips, etc) where the serving size is not in a sensible relationship with the packet size (23gm, 85gm) - why can't they just make them 21+84 ?

 

Note that for grain products (pasta, rice, etc) where a packet can be a standard 500gm or even 250gm I don't have a problem with recommended sizes suce as 70gm or 75gm, it's easy enough to scale up to the 83gm I would typically use. And with digital scales, weighing such amounts to the nearest gram is possible.

S.U.V's that roll over as soon as you look at them.

The assumption that, as a bloke, you know all about football and want to talk about it in any social situation.

Pretty much a generic irritant, just substitute (any sport) for football!

I go for the "that looks about right" approach rather than bothering to weigh pasta or rice.

People who think "a shed load" means a lot; it doesn't, it means a load that has fallen off its vehicle.
