    Reels of sellotape.

    Why is it that you can never find the end of them when you are in a desperate hurry to catch the post or wrap a present before the recipient appears?

    Buy one of those heavy dispenser things - got one in wilkinsons last year for just over a quid and present wrapping is now almost a pleasure.

    People (invariably women) who send Christmas cards with glitter on. Just opened one and got glitter all over the table next to my camera lenses. Not happy.

    The missus was at a carol concert earlier so I thought I'd take the opportunity to wrap up her presents as the place was empty. I'd paid a fortune for some fancy wrapping paper, little realising that the stuff was literally covered with the loosest glitter I've ever seen. They must have sprinkled it on and hoped for the best as it is everywhere...all over the table and floor, on every item of clothing I'm wearing, up the walls, over the sofa, fecking everywhere.

    The worst of it is, I should have washed my hands before I went for a pee, if you know what I mean...

    My arse is being equally unkind today. That said, I have antagonised it by having a lamb phaal on a school night

    Delivery men who phone to say they are banging on your front door, who don't believe you when you say you clearly aren't as you are standing at your front door.

    Does make me laugh that some twerp from Milton Keynes thinks he knows where I live better than I do !

    Not uncommon mate on the last Friday before Christmas to end up at the wrong place of abode after a final drink with workmates and catching the last train home, just have another look to make sure it's your house :0)

    The Mrs starting to smoke again 2 years after giving up. We've got a 5 month old so no money at the moment with maternity etc, it's expensive, not good for the baby or the Mrs, and she's got the physical addiction out of her system.

    Stupid.

    Christmas or rather everyone being friendly at Christmas, people who hardly say a word to you then in late December full of bonhomie want to wish you a happy Christmas, give you cards, even suggest a Christmas drink, try being nice for the rest of the year! Phuck off!

    The Ashes
    A two team tournament played every two years by one country who's history and population dwarfs the other nation and when England win, the press go mad like we won the Football World Cup. It's a insignificant shitty little minority sport tournament, stop wanking about it !
    Oh yes and the trophy is utter toilet too!

    The whole coffee thing: silly cafés everywhere, coffee 'to go'', sheep-people walking around with coffee in cardboard cups.

    The increasing number of shite drivers who stop at a roundabout when they don't need to.

    Drivers who indicate to pull out when you're on their shoulder. What happened to mirror, signal, manoeuvre?

    "Happy Holidays" everybody!

    I think you should take some sort of aptitude test to use those self-service checkouts. For everyone who goes through no dramas there are twenty who are too stupid to use them

    Incorrect pluralising of surnames.

    It's Cliff Richard not Cliff Richards and, closer to home, Callum Harriott not Callum Harriotts!

    That's unlikely to be pluralising and more just adding an extraneous "s", unless these folk are chatting about multiple Cliffs.

    Putting together a Spider-Man bike for my 3 year old boy for Xmas only to have one of the pedals not fit as the thread is bust . Not in stock so unlikely to get a replacement in time.

    That spider thread is meant to be stronger than steel as well.
