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

The blatant lies that are "Easy open pack, "One coat emulsion", "Plug and play", "New improved recipe" and "Oven ready deal" amongst others.

 

Also, Windows Updates!!  How difficult is it to just get it right the first time?

People who say, 'to cut and long story short', then go into lengthy and irrelevant detail about their trivial story.

Worse, people who begin "No offence but" then proceed to say something highly offensive.

Do they actually sell anything at full price and if so has anyone seen it?

Yes, they do - the trick is, they have two or three almost identical products, and rotate them each sale - so the one with blue trim is on sale this week, while the red trim and green trim are tucked away at the back of the store on full price...

Grown men in town wearing footballers outfits.

 

Do you mean with the shorts and socks as well?

 

Seen it a few times. Seems to be the tourist types more than "proper" fans or locals though.

 

No problem with the replica shirts thing, but adults with the name and number of your favourite player is also a  bit much IMO. Sort of thing most of us grew out of when we were teenagers. I wonder whether they still have posters of the players on their bedroom walls...

Things with "smart" in their name, which are often anything but.

The only thing with "smart" in its name that I've any time for are Smarties.

The pointless videos that keep appearing on RMweb.

A layout without turnouts is pretty pointless...

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

 

 

 

Turn it on them.

 

Bring in another subject, like a different sport, or something completely different like cars.

 

If they mention world cup bring up a different sport WC.

 

Using railways is a bit difficult.

Well yes, but this is my response to ‘things that irritate me, in one sentence’. I am socially inept, it’s true, but that’s for another thread 😉 else I’ll go down the garden and eat worms.

 

Cheers

Reminds me of being in a pub in Warrington a few weeks ago with my brother and some of his drinking buddies.

 

A bunch of England rugby fans turned up demanding the pub put the rugby on (despite the football already being on).

 

Someone said. "Eh, mate. Wrong type of rugby. We're League in here!"

 

They soon left.  🤣
