Things you hate IV

If, like us, you don’t have room for 5kg of ice cubes in your built-in fridge freezer, just fit in what you can and allow the rest to melt. Then, and here’s the clever bit, when you have used a few, you can reform the other cubes you bought by simply refreezing those same melted cubes in an ice cube tray. Simples.

 

sky and insurance companies follow the same pattern, your subscription was £100 but will be going up to £150 at the end of month , **** you im not paying that , ah ok how about we drop it to £99

 

now that is the kind of straight up problem avoidance followed by decisive action that made this country great

 

Funnily enough, I went on to do a degree in biological sciences.

Since then I've not worked in a remotely related industry

 

Bring back Howard

 

He’s got a lot to answer for.

 

Quiet coaches on trains that are rarely actually quiet.

The most noise I’ve ever experienced in a train carriage (apart from some rowdy football fans in one) was this evening in a so-called quiet one on the C2C from Shoeburyness to West Ham. Almost everyone there seemed to be having a noisy conversation from Westcliff onwards, and this was significantly compounded by ear-splitting screaming most of the time by at least a couple of little ‘uns. There was a group of Italians next to me who were talking way above what should be the acceptable level in a quiet carriage but I didn’t want to tell them to keep their voices down because they seemed nice enough (one of them changed her seat so I could have more leg room) and it would have been pointless - I’d have needed to get up and tell practically everyone to be quiet or move to another carriage to get some peace! Why people should ignore the many quiet zone signs that were literally staring at them in the face is beyond me, and why bring screaming kids into a quiet carriage (or not take them out once it’s clear they can’t shut them up)? God knows what the other carriages must have been like!

Shooting is too good for them.

 

I was on a train opposite a young woman who was having a one sided, very loud conversation on her phone of the so I said, what the **** do mean, so she said no, what the **** do you mean, so I said **** this **** etc variety.

After about 10 minutes with everyone else exchanging glances, I said ‘do you mind just toning down the effing and jeffing’ and she said, excuse me! I’m trying to have a private conversation! Then to her friend Sorry, but there’s a bloke being really rude to me.

When she protested it was a ‘private conversation’ someone halfway down the carriage shouted well I can hear you from here love.

 

Assume that didn't stop her and took it as another swipe at her human rights?

 

Cockroaches. I've had a few now in my apartment the last week. I've never cleaned so much in all my life. Luckily I have a decent landlord here and as soon as I mentioned it he called in but exterminators. It just amazes me at how small an opening these little ****s can make an appearance.

 

I've heard of landlords terminating the contracts of complaining tenants, but an extermination squad seems a bit extreme!

 

Doritos. Why are they popular? They are ******* horrible, inferior to crisps and make crisps seem like a health food.

Waffle cones play the same role of calorific shyteness for ice cream.

 

Very fond of the chilli hot wave Doritos. You can't scoop up a chilli with a cheese and onion crisp, Moose

 

They don’t serve the same purpose as crisps, so you’re not comparing like with like.

 

Sure they do. People honk them down with beer, watching sport or alongside a sandwich. That’s how they are mostly used in the UK. That’s muscling in on the domain of crisps and peanuts.

Who needs to eat their dinner with crisps? Use a fecking knife and fork.

 

Tricky to use with poppadoms though.

 

Good point.

 

Cool Doritos are bloody lovely.

 

Should be smothered with cheese and served with chilli. Or dipped in salsa or guacamole. Typical little Englander.

 

If you run out, just cut some triangles out of cardboard, sprinkle with pepper and you’ll have a more than adequate substitute to mop up all that artery hardening goo. You’re welcome.

 

Completely wrong.

 

Nothing wrong with Doritos, although there are many, many better crisps out there.

Favourite crisps anyone?

I’m very partial to the sea salt and Chardonnay wine vinegar crisps the Co-op do, they remove a layer of skin from your lips and tongue but delicious none the less.

 

Write to your MP.

 

You get a delicious artisanal crisp round these parts by the Walker family. There’s some pretty wacky flavour combinations like cheese with onions, smoke and bacon and prawn cocktail (imagine drinking a prawn flavoured cocktail! Ew!). Somehow they just work.

Give them a try if you see them at a market or food festival.

 

I’ve seen that brand, but what has put me off trying them are the rumours a big eared employee regularly has his way with the odd bag of them.

 

It’s you with the complaint, m8.

 

I wouldn’t worry, he’s just a character made up by a marketing company like the Go Compare man or Phillip Schofield.

 

Cofresh Chili and Lemon Grills. Also partial to some scampi fries.

 

This woman on the bus yesterday reminded me of this post.

She was talking really loudly on her phone with a piercing laugh - now of course, I'm all for people having conversations on public transport whether with someone, in a group or on their phone but this was painfully so. She seemed to be alternating between Russian and English peppered with a few swear words.

After I looked round to see the face behind this annoying voice she then said on her phone "Why do people stare at me when I'm f*cking talking?" I hope for her and others' sake she worked/found out the answer!

 

She won’t unless people like you tell her…

 

Hur, hur what about when they called those crisps Salt and Lineker coz that sounds like Salt and Vinegar? That was funny. And then he pretended to steal the crisps, lol. Comedy gold.

Thanks for all the good times Gary.
